bridge, would have been ineligible, elected, Is
unquestiopabe; but have not heard tha: Mr. VIII
aInson voted. He is q conscientious ana ptudent
gentleman, and conducted the canvass with dignity
and courtesy. Conspicuous and memorable among
the remarkable features Of the canvass was MT
Woods caucus Of his followers in my district. lie
brought together the representative men OF the
different interests with which he is identified, and
made them speech. There was delegation OF
policyofice keepers; delegation OF gamblers-ot
the more vulgar and depraved class delegation of
lotte,ytcket venders; delegation of emigrsnt rob
bers commonly called baggage smsshers. THIS
influential aasemblage Of citizens Mr. Wood addressed
nearly as follows: " My friends. when was Mayor,

were pressed against you and those YOU represent,
