For Gilman (Fed.) 13,971
Plummer (Dem.) 13,428
Federal majority 543
In that State, no candidate for Governor is elected by the people, unless he receives more votes than all other candidates for the same office.--Whether Mr. Gilman, the federal candidate, is the Governor Elect, now depends on the fact, whether there are as many as 543 scattering votes-a fact which will not be ascertained until the meeting of the Legislature of that state. Last year, the democratic candidate had a plurality of about 3000: This year, whether Gilman is elected or not, there is unquestionably a majority of federal votes.
