in view of the untried experiment no*

such auguries the day of elec-tion
came. Every avenue leading to

could by possibility be forced, and the
staircases, quite out of sight and hear-ing
of what was passing within, were
cranimtd with watching multitudes,
hoping against hope, to gain, by some
good chance, or by dint of patience
and of physical strength, a glimpse at
least of the exciting scene.
