ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR.
(THIS DAY.)
As the poll approached to a termination the utmost
anxiety was exhibited by the dense crowd wbich had
been ever on the increase since one o'clock, and the ex-
citement became still more intense, as up to the last
minute it was known that the supporters of Sir George
Carroll were diminishing the odds that had existed at the
close of yesterday's proceedings.
i ;The Hall, at four o'clock, was crowded to suffo-
cation by
_a molly assemblage, whose." most sweet voices"
seemed pretty equally divided between the candidates.
Mr. Alderman Wood was upon the platform, and it re-
quired no very keen eye to observe that the " chances of
the day" were closely calculated by him, and that with
all his efforts to appear calm, he yet could not conceal his
agitation. Sir George Carroll entered at four o'clock,
accompanied by his friends, and stood imme-
diately behind his honourable opponent. Considerable
merriment was excited by the witty remarks which were
called forth from the gentlemen clacquers in the Hall, at
the expense of one or other of the two rival sections ;
and thus the anxious twenty minutes which elapsed
from the closing of the poll-books to the announcement
of the numbers were by no means the dullest in the
day's proceedings. Bets, too, were freely offered ; nor
did the close proximity of the candidates prevent this
delicate species of speculation being very spiritedly
carried out on the hustings. The galleries were filled
with ladies.
The numbers were as follow:
Sir George Carroll
Mr. Alderman Wood , . 1,644
Mr. Alderman Hooper
Mr. Alderman Moon
Mr. Alderman Farncomb
Immense cheering from the adherents of Sir George
Carroll.
Mr. Alderman Cuaems then came forward, but for
some time was quite inaudible. He merely repeated the
statement of the numbers as above.
Sir GEORGE CARROLL then came to the front, and
having in vain attempted to address those in the body
of the hall, at last in despair confined his attention to
the reporters immediately around him. The worthy
Alderman said—Gentlemen, I thank you for your kind-
ness in placing me in my present honourable position.
I have no doubt that you will give me credit for speaking
the truth when I say that I have taken no part in
this contest beyond what I felt to be necessary and jus-
tifiable, in order to protect myself as the next Alderman
in rotation after Mr. Alderman Wood.—(Cheers.) The
contest is now over—(Cheers and hisses)—as far as the
Livery are concerned.—(Cries of "Not yet.") The de-
cision now remains with the Court of Alderman. If
that is in my favour I will endeavour to do all that the
Lord Mayor of this great city ought to do--(Cheels)—
if it should be otherwise, I will be perfectly contented.
And now, gentlemen, I thank you both sincerely and
kindly for all the trouble you have taken on this occasion.
Mr. Alderman Wool) then came forward, and said, I
regret that you did not hear my excellent colleague, for
he would no doubt have told you that which is the fact
—that there is no personal contest between him and
myself, for I am quite sure that no, angry feeling or
angry wish has escaped from each in ro.p ct of the
other.—(Cheers.) Indeed, there was no occasion fur
anything of the kind between him and me, the contest
being altogether between himself and the gentleman
whom Mr. Anderton proposed to the Livery.
All that concerns me is the fact that I am 1,320 above
that gentleman. You are bound to return two Alder.
men to the Court of Alderman, and therefore Sir George
Carroll and myself are in precisely the same position
