A. DungannOn correspondent SAYS
'In reference to rumOr which is going
the rounds that all the objections SER
we'd by the Naulona]ists on Unionist are
Invalid, the Nationalist agents state
that there may be number OF object
ions which may be disputed upon legal

increase the Nationalist majority at
present on the regl ster. The UnioDi5ts
are boasting before their time.''
