2395 - L july 29; ed:2/1 - The Wayne county DEMOCRAT says: In the vote
taken among the workmen in Wasson's car manufactory of Cleveland, Fremont
received 69 votes and Buchanan 2. Wasson would not allow a man

2396 - L july 29; ed:2/2 - We hear from New York that Ohio is claimed
for Fillmore. "Forty thousand majcrity for Fremont in this state is
