Besides the above about forty other persons
received votes, of whom thirty-three had only
one vote each. The total number of ballots cast
was 1873 but % of these were informal leaving
1451 effective votes. 1t will therefore be seen
that of all the legal ballots cast there were only
29S on which Mr.. Gibson's name did not appear.
At the last election, 1880, 1890 ballots were
cast of which number no candidate secured even
one-half. As it will no doubt be of interest, we
give the results of the last three previous cleo
tions with the numbers polled.

Mr.. Gibson spoke in response TO a loud call
from the meeting, and was most Enthusiastically
received, Notwithstanding the fact that he was
virtually in the enemy's camp.
Wednesday, Feb. 1st, was the election day.
According 10 custom the Marshal had instructed
the holders Of retail licenses for the sale Of
hqusT, that their places OF business must be
closed throughout the day. No doubt this pre-
caution had something TO do with the extremely
orderly character OF the proceedings 1t may
be doubted whether an election was ever carried
on in any country with 50 much decorum and
good humor as WIS witnessed IN Honolulu on
Wednesday last. And yet the contest Was eXcit-
ing enough, and deep interest was taken in 1t by
the electors, especially by those Of the native
race. No pains We're spared t. bring to the poll
those who possessed the necessary qualification,
and to persuade them to vote for the correct
ticket. From before eight O'Clock in the morn
ing the grounds in front of Aliiolani Hale and
u long stretch of King street in its neighborhood
presented a busy scene. Before twelve o'clock
some eight hundred voters had deposited their
ballots. Throughout the day and till a late hour
in the evening enthusiastic orators took up their
position on an improvised platform in front of
the building, and kept the crowd alive with their
eulogiums on their fayorite candidates, and their
jokes against those whom they did not favor.
The excitement moderated somewhat during the
afternoon to revive again as the hour of closing
the poll arrived. Although it was well-known
that it would probably be eight o'clock before the
result could be declared, a large and animated
crowd remained in front of the Government
Buildings, and was steadily reinforced through
out the evening.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
A woman Tries TO Choke Herself to
Death i'm Judiciary square.

About noon today as Mr.. william E. Brown,
a colored man, was passing through Judiciary
Square, a lady called his attention to young
colOred woman who was sitting on a bench
near Louisiana avenue and acting In u sus.
picious manner. Going TO tho woman, he
discovered that she had tied n rope around
her neck and was pulling the other end, with
The apparent purpose OF choking herself
The woman's eyes were closed and she was
frothing freely at the mouth, while her whole
frame was convulsed with spasmodic move.
ments.
The rope was removed from her throat, and
che was placed In a wagon by onicer Quin!an
and driven to Police Headquarters, where she
remained in an unconscious condition for a
long time. Drs. Murphy and Magruder at.
tended the woman, and expressed the opinion
that she had attempted suicide while laboring
under temporary Insanity, probably caused
by congestion OF the brain.
The woman was unable to speak, aud was,
up TO late hour, unidentified. The rope
with which che attempted 10 choke herself
was made into a regular hangmans moose
and constructed In manner which showed
plainly that The would.be suicide had not
made It herself. The woman was conveyed 10
the hospital at the Washington Asylum.
