been sustained by the necessities of war, but
such paper money should depend for its value

twenty thousand. The Chic. 60 Tribune
some time ago arrived at n computation
which gave Garfield majority of a lit
tie over three thousand in the total
vote. The Associated Press telcgraphed
the Tribuhs's figures over the country,

estimated Haneock's majority in Texas
at $1,000 but the official count shows
that his actual majority in that State is
