The election was an exceedingly
quiet one. Nobody was challenged,
doubtless with view to poll as large
vote as possible for State Capital.
Several women offered to vote in each
of the city wards, but their ballots
were refused and record made on
the poll-books.a 1t is said that the dis
appointment OF the ladies in the sec
ond ward was greatly mitigated by the
Chester6eldian grace with which Mr.

election, explained to the fair ones
how pleased he would have been to
receive their tickets had circumstances
been different. It is said that Mrs.
Duniway and others intend to make a
