Vanßuskirk, of the Monticello Herald, was made secretary, and the other republican editors of thee district were called on as assistants, but there were none of them present. There were only two candidates, John G. Brown, of Monon, and James D.. Browh, of Bumettsville, both in White county, and bo one ballot decided the contest. The vote was as tolows: t J. G. J. D.
