In the review Of candidates yesterday the
REPUBLIC made an unintentional error,
which is cheerfully corrected today. In
referring to the county campaign Of last
fall, when Mr.. r. f. Hayward was chair
man Of the committee, 1t was stated that
the plurality In the county was the largest
ever given the republican ticket. This is
slightly at variance with the facts. Last
fall the figures were 2.301 and In 1854 the
plurality reached 2,3l3. In 1884 County
Clerk j. I'll. Rabbits was chairman of the
committee. Another error was that Mr.
Hayward had served two terms - marshal
of the city, while the fact is he served three
terms. under Mayor E. S. Wallace, under
Mayor E. g. Coffin, and under Mayor C..
w. COnstantine-six years In all.
