14, Afte this the struggle on both arses beoatie desperate,
the canvassers were hurrying about in all directions, and we
noticed Mr. Davies, the active secretary, very busy amongst
the various electors in the ward ; he was in various districts
Industriously employed in bringing up troops, About three
o'clock. the majority was lessened to about 15. About half
past three came the " tug of war." The radical committee
tendered their votes, still Mr. Holmes was in a majority of
about a dozen, and all the exertions of their opponents, and
strenuous indeed they were, could not bring that majority
down lower than ten, at which it was reported when the poll
62 139 182 223 248 270 325 21 I closed.

We cannot refrain from observing here the unbecoming
and disgraceful conduct of the opposite party, who, when
they found the tables so completely turned, began (as
is their usual practice) to annoy the party opposed to
them. Some females in Mr. Quayle's committee-room were
so uprorious that it was with difficulty we could collect
what fell from Mr. Holmes. After the uproar and cheering
had subsided, Mr. Holmes presented himself at the upper
window of his committee-room, mid thanked the electors
sincerely for the honour they had conferred upon him ; it was
a great victory they had achieved, and he (Mr. Holmes)
thought Mr. Quayle might now ship himself for the Isle of
Man, and there grow cabbages. He (Mr. Holmes) had no
personal enmity towards Mr. Quayle, or any other gentle-
man. His object was to accomplish, what they had achieved,
a majority in the town-council ; and it hitherto had been his
object to expose, openly, whatever he (Mr. H.) did think
gross or objectionable in that council. Mr. Holmes again
thanked the electors, and withdrew from the window amidst
loud and continued cheering.
