BY this computation Mr.. Byrne has
proved that Mr.. Il. Il. Warmers assertion
that sixty per cent of the Republican,
vote cast at the recent election was in
oppsoilion to the election of Mr.. Adj

the same time he corroboratcs the state
ment made in this column a few days
ago, in which we asserted that 55 per
cent. of the vote cast at the recent elec-
ton was cast i'll favor of the election
of Mr.. Addicks to the Senate. In his
analysis of the vote for members of the
