The two friends had a keen sense of having been deceived. Each felt the other's disappointment more than his own. But politics had an exciting influence on them. When the election-day arrived they went to inspect the urns. Flacardoux had carried it! M. de Faverges had fallen back on the National Guard, without obtaining the epaulet of commander.
He got enough to know that Wayne had won a thumping victory, better than three to two. Isaiah Trench was still captain of the Seventh Precinct. Elections were over, but the few dim lights along the street showed only boarded-up and darkened buildings. There were sounds of stirring, but no one was trusting that the election-day brawls were completely ended yet.
We the leaders of the Women's Movement did not rest until we had exacted the same pledge from all the candidates of both parties; and the nearer it drew towards election-day, the more prominence was given, in the public meetings, to the illustration and discussion of the subject. Wrangle was elected to Congress, having received a hundred and forty-two more votes than his opponent. Mr.
