Of all kinds were in demand. Democrats voted
Republican, tickets, and Republicans Democratic
tickets, and in some cases these changes will be
permanent. There We're some amusing features
of the election but we have no space to devote to
them this week. But little money was used save
for legitimate expenses, outside of money contr-
buted by rumsellcrs to defeat the Republican can

ness was seen during the day. In the evening all
parties met at Picrcc's Parlor Theatre where the

sent for his brother George, who had been for two
years Columbia river bar boat, to come to
Puget Sound and go with him on the Mogul, which
he did. Everything went pleasantly until the 18th
of July They had just towcd the bark Emma 7.
