nal hoped II would be. If the Republican can
didate for Lieutenant-Governor, who was capri
ciously blaclI-listed by Tho Providence Jour

many months Ia that event. indeed, would the
result have been in every way encouraging"
AS it was, our unhappy neighbor had to pull itself
together and make o frantic effort to prove that
the Mugwumps all went back to the Republican
