rev votes and lost a few, the day ending
without any particular incident of interest
One peculiar feature about the contest is
the fact that noth the contestant and con-

fraud and irregularities. Nothing of a
sensational nature has as vet been un-
carthed. but the attorneys on both sides
state that when the time comes for the
taking of testimony some startling evil
