inadvertently crept into the very inter

IN The Times of this morning.
Nv Congressional district, the Eleventh
Ohio district, gave Mckinley in 1886 a
plurality OF 4,500-Athens, Meigs, Ross,

Hooking an Perry being carried for
Bryan,
ihls year Athens county gave Gov.
Bushnell 2,1S7; Meigs, 1856; Ross, 792;
Vinton, / S5; total, 5000. Hooking gave
Chapman 2OS and Perry 27 total, 235.
SO Bushnell carried the Eleventh district
by 4,sI5, a net Republican gain of 81 8
over s96. We gained in each county,
and elected every county candidate in
four counties. We cut down the Demo-
cratic majority in Hooking over half and
in Perry three-foUrths, and elected one
county officer.
may add that in the senatorial district

and testified in regard to $500 note
purportirg TO be signed by B. 3. Yeager,
upon which Mclean secured a check
from Mrs. Hewlett, on the Riggs Bank,
tn the amount promised to be paid. The
note bore the Endorsement OF Washington
Nailor. At the end of three months,
when the paper became due, Mr.. Hewlett
claims, he was unable to find Yeager.
and ppon Investigation discovered there

Mr.. Major said that the Endorsement

apparently leave the outcome in consid-
