hiring horses and sleighs at the livery

majorities ranging from 1000 to g.
900, Phillips appeared to fall slightly
behind Lee. 1t now appears that
while Phillips ran 1400 votes ahead
of Burke flor congress), the latter is
elected by 1000 majority. This
situation would seem paradoxical,
but the explanation given is that
about 1000 voters voted for Lee
alone on the Fusion ticket, a thing
that would again appear very strange
and remarkable. A later theory
now is that Lees name, which APP
peared under three separate head
ings, was marked more than once by
a good manv voters and was count.
ed as many times as it was thus
marked. In view OF the mystery
and uncertainty, il is quite likely
that the Republicans will demand a
recount on governor.
