J. Maxwell and Lieute nant Governor W. P. Horton, with Broughton getting only the leavings if any. Jt will probably take a count ol the votes cast on May 25 to settle the matter of who is right and whc is wrong; but the difference of op inion about it and the really great difficulty of getting more than a faint idea of the actual facts are typi cal of this muddled campaign.
