election for Congressman 10 AIl Kenha's
vacancy passed off very quietly to-day.
There was slight drizzling rain almost all
day. The vote in this county will be pretty
well drawn out. The voting precincts 80
far as heard from will possibly give this
county to Judge Brown by a majority Of
'15U. It is claimed tonight BY the friends
OF Judge Brown that Fayette county will
give him large majority. The Democratic
vote has fallen off in many places. If
Snyder carries the district his majority will
hardly exceed one thousand.
