mOngreI-miXed-ticket move
mcnt has received its ath-blOw in Farm
vile to-day. The hottest contest ever

Democratic lines.
The antl-Mahone Republicans, headed by
Yankee Allan and - Branch, refused to
accept any fusion, preferring TO have the
entire Democratic ticket. The Hooper Ma
hone ring is badly broken. The colored

to be driven by the Malone whip. The
