Uttered by politicians in their scrambles for seats of 288 HISTORY OF honor, and the fat things of office. The " scenes gont ore?*, " and now playing, rcmmd us of the recorded past. Scrambhng for ollicc among the Enghsh and Irish in t...his county is nothing new ; as early as 1732 there was a violent contest between Galbraith and Wright. In 1743 the Irish strove for "ascendancy at the polls. " An election was held this year to supply the vacancy occa- sioned by the death of Thomas Linsey. The Irish com- pelled the sheriff to receive such tickets as they approved, and make a return accordingly. The following resolu- tion was passed in Assembly : Resolved, That the sheriff having assumed upon himself the power of being sole judge at the late election, exclusive of the inspectors chosen by the framers of said county of Lancaster, is illegal, unwarrantable and an infringement of the the liberties of the people of the province ; that it gave just cause for discontent to t!ie inhabitants of said county; that if any disturbances followed thereupon, it is justly imputed to his own misconduct.
