Whiston, and I could see, and the crowd could see, that she was not greatly elated. Mr. Wrangle made a very significant bow to Mr. Tumbrill, and then sat down. There were cries of "Tumbrill!" and that gentleman none of us, of course, believing him sincere, for we knew his private views came forward and made exactly the same pledge.
I noticed that the two Congressional candidates looked at each other and smiled, in spite of the venomous charges they had just been making. You, Mr. Wrangle, and you, Mr. Tumbrill, want to be elected to Congress. A very little will turn the scale either way. Perhaps a woman's influence perhaps my voice might do it. But I will give you an equal chance.
He could already hear the indictment against him, could see the filthy mob of Paris dancing a wild saraband round the tumbrill, which bore him towards the guillotine; he could hear their yells of execration, could feel the insults hurled against him, by those who had most admired, most envied him. And from all this he would have escaped if he could, if it had not been too late.
Wrangle, and the opposing candidate, Mr. Tumbrill, had arranged to hold a joint meeting at Burroak. This meeting took place on a magnificent day, just after the oats-harvest; and everybody, for twenty miles around, was there. Mrs.
Wrangle and Tumbrill were speaking, in walking about through the crowds so after an hour apiece for the gentlemen, and then fifteen minutes apiece for a rejoinder, and the Star Spangled Banner from the band, for both sides, we were not a bit surprised to hear a few cries of "Whiston!" from the audience.
There was repeated cheering, and cries of "Got 'em there!" "I pause for a reply. Shall they not answer me?" she continued, turning to the audience. Then there were tremendous cries of "Yes! yes! Wrangle! Tumbrill!" Mr. Wrangle looked at Mr. Tumbrill, and made a motion with his head, signifying that he should speak. Then Mr. Tumbrill looked at Mr. Wrangle, and made a motion that HE should speak.
Tumbrill has always attributed his defeat to his want of courage in not taking up at once the glove which Selina Whiston threw down. I think I have said enough to make it clear how the State of Atlantic came to be the first to grant equal civil and political rights to women.
