Searls of Putnam, who was the especial representative of Mr. Por- ter in the canvass, said to a Hartford Courant reporter, after the battle, that he was much disappointed in the vote. He had not expected a victory, but had looked for at least 200 votes out of the 504. As it turned out, there were only 120 for Mr. Porter.
