The Republicans did not vote on

ton Of 1861 ABOUT ono half of the
voters exercised the election fran

done by the friends of Col, Reilly

of Messrs. duBIgnon and Clifton,
which grew out Of the two first
named to define their position on
the convict labor question, and to
make the County Commissioners
