Mon 10th Election Day. "Liberals" outvoted the People, as I expected, their men's names left out, or "arbitrarily stricken from the list when it was too late to have them reinstated through legal process", & other rascally tricks illustrative of the "Liberal" schemers, who were not above adding names to their list during the voting Feeling sick for want of sleep/I've lounged, and slept a little to prepare for the raid of "Liberal" fiends to night.

Tuesday 11th. After retiring last eve a "Liberal" gang of scum & boys passed up our street with drums, & all kinds of sounds from cowbells, & other bells, & horns & yells, the awfullest jargon of fiendish productions, as if purposed, & was undoubtedly, for disturbing those of the Peoples Party. I slept better than I expected, though the guns were fired frequently & late in the night. Their crow will be short.
