Boston Election - Declaration of the Poll, 1856. Creator: Unknown

Boston Election - Declaration of the Poll, 1856. The Mayor [F. Cooke, Esq.] briefly announced that the electors of Boston had, by a decided majority, elected Herbert Ingram, Esq. to represent them in the Commons House of Parliament. This announcement was received with a perfect thunder of applause...Mr. Ingram...then stepped forward and said: "Now, my boys, if you be diligent and practise self-denial along with strict integrity, there is not one among you who has not a chance of one day occupying the proud position I have now the honour to fill (Cheers). I have resisted all trumpery temptations. I have set my face against the mere tinsel of life, and when I was asked to stand as Sheriff of London I refused to do so". Mr. Adams then came forward, but was received with such a burst of groans and hisses that it was some time before he could make himself heard'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856
