| *In Trenton, the vote stood, Jarvis 80, Hamlin 37. Through the carelessness of the Selectmen, these votes were returned for Morse and O'Brien, the senatorial candidates, thus making 117 votes against Jarvis, where there should have been a majority of 43 in his favor. By this gross and unpardonable carelessness, his majority is diminished 160 votes. It should have been 269.—Augusta Age. |
