The Eleventh District. - The vote for member of Congress in district No. 11, by counties is as follows: Mr. Dawes has 2700 more votes than Trafton, and 2400 more than Weston.

Dawes Trafton

The aggregate vote of the district, it will be seen is 15,918. Some of the papers have stated that this is a larger vote than was given in any other district. This is not correct. No. 9, - the Worcester district, is, as usual, the banner district. The vote is:

Thayer .8957
DeWitt .4359
Wood 3077
Thurston 269
16,652

This is 734 more than the vote of the 11th district, giving a pretty broad margin to our claim for the banner.
