1895, in Conyngham Township, Peter
Lenihan was elected Poor Director,
The figures gave Patrick Cain the
largest vote. We made up the re
turns from the writing, and not from

In E. North District, Lenihan had
78 votes, and Cam 124.
There was no discrepency between
the writing and figures.
In W. North District, Lenihan had
48 votes, and Cain 10.
