" Chicagos First Election. Here on August 10, 1833, came the entire list of qualified voters (all 24 of Them) to select the town trustees for the City of Chicago, the first election held in the citys history. Here likewise was the first drama in the West produced, in late October of 1837. Beaubien sold the building in 1834. . It burned to the ground on March 3, 18? 1. ' It had been abandoned as a hostelry in the late forties, apparently, and was occupied by only one man at the time of the fire. The property in 1851 was owned by the Garrett estate,, which later founded tha Garrett Bible institute and provided the foundation vfor establishment in later years of Northwestern university. , The townspeople who were working on the Republican convention obtained the site from the Garrett estate, and started construction of the great Wigwam in April, 1860. The structure was 100 by 180 feet, with its main entrance on the street known now as Wacker drive. A gallery was built on three aides, a stage constructed across one end. The stage would seat between 600 and 700 persons and the hall itself was constructed to seat between 10,000 and 11,000 persons. The Wigwam was lighted by gas. Its interior was left in a rough, unfinished state, to be decorated "by the light, graceful and entirely successful handiwork of Republican ladies," to quote the e of the day. The ladies banked the walls with freshly cut evergreens. Seals of the states were hung around the walls, and busts of prominent men of early American history were placed on the supporting pillars. Over the stage was suspended a huge gilt eagle. . The structure cost between $5,000 and $7,000. There was a deficit to clear, so on the night of the dedication, Saturday, May 12, an. admission charge of 25 cents was assessed. Between 7,000 and 8,000 persons came to the dedication, which seems to havculaken.c&re-- . no further Comment is found on the subject.

Sewards Men Confident. There was little abatement of the Seward confidence when the roll was called for the first ballot. The vote showed that out of the 466 votes cast, Seward had 173, Lincoln 102, and the rest were scattered among a dozen favorite sons. It took 234 votes to nominate, and the Seward supporters were confident that after the routine of voting for favorite sons was out of the way, the Tablet on Goodrich building in swing would be to their man. on the site stands which Chicago The second ballot was taken ot the wigwam. and the count showed a shift to Lincoln rather than to the East-eJe- t. tions had, given the Republican candidate a clear victory over his Seward had 184 and Democratic opponent.
