,ovais. nnsoown 10 the Ward and 10 the Wing
party, styling themselves Short soy'' came 70
the polls and insisted on voting, which being re-
fused. ,hoy commenced a dangerous riot whicn
broke 10 the election. Oder being at length re-
st,reJ. a large number Of the voters organized on
the side.vsik and elected what was styled the
Peoples Tictet by acclsmAtion. vi the three
Sen atorisl Delegates, two (Me'srs Daniel Lore
and George ]. Cornelll were on bosh the Opposing
tickets; the other (Wm. n. Meeksl on the Pee

cate, 70 their own Conventions. The Conven'
ton, alter duo elaboration and not without serious
-niseivnss, decided TO admit the Delegation jat'
named, believing that TO reject both and order
lev election would be to insure a repetition OF
the disturbances already caused by hostile inter
lopers Both Delegations were composed OF good
and tue wings, and the vote to exclude either
was given most reluctantly. as tho only course
that could be safely chosen.
All the aasstions of contest were thus settled
before so'oAock. (At q later hour protest was
received from tho Wing Committee Of the lXtt
Ward against the return Of Delegates from that
Ward, but Il was not acted on. There are nc
others claiming 70 have been chosen from that
