One of the curiostics OF the was that BeVa
Lockwood received only vote In the entire State
II suspected her vote was smothered ana is huuc
in the term /" scattering votes' An ther ho'auS
feature revealed by tho canYass was that william H.
Seward and j. s. T. stranahan the Electors Largo
upon the Republican electoral ticket, ran over Z,oVV
votes behind the other Republican electors. Ih''
was caused by tho fact that the United Labor Parry
put the names OF James Redpath and OF victor A.
wilder as Electors Large. upon their tichct anu
then succeeded them with the names Of the Republican
electors Few OF the electors OF either Oh inc gca'
parties received precisely The same vote as tho ohcr

words the highest Republican elcctor has 1872 moro

fectives blank, and scattering votes. Thus New
