Polk as to how his successor would be elected. If congressional districts, of but one or two counties, or in cities, the successor would be elected as a consequence of the gub ernational proclamation. However, in this district which consists of four counties, namely: Northumberland Montour, Columbia and Sullivan, it would create an enormous expense, so it is thought that the election will not be held until the regular fall election which is held in November. Nevertheless, should the governor decide that the election is absolutely necessary a notice will be sent to the sheriff and one of the present candidates on the Democratic ticket would likely be elected. —Congressman Rufus K.
