Maj. Chas. Yandiver received a larger
majority than any one on tho ticket in
Cass county, aud about as large a majority
n the other two counties as any other
democrat. Cass county gave Maj. Van
liver 1859 majority Lafayette, 1,025, and
Johnson, Sid, making a total majority
over the republican nominee in the dis
Lrict of 9,69S. Cass and Johnson counties
stood by our Lafayette Major handsomely,

IS a high compliment to him, and he will
wear it well at Jefferson City. In the

WIsest of the so.ons.
