Alien Voters 1864 - Cook County, Illinois Chicago Daily Tribune, Sunday, April 17, 1864 We present the names of a sweet-scented crowd in this issue--sneaks and copperheads--who on the day of the last charter election voted for Sherman. Just as soon as there was a remote prospect of a draft, this fragrant crowd started straight for the British Counsul's office, and secured their "exemption papers." These are the chaps who have loudly prated in years gone by, of their regard for the Constitution and laws. The Irish element of course largely predominates. Today we give the list in the Third, Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Wards: Sixth Ward John Anderson James Murphy John Burn William O'Brien Thomas Butler John O'Neil Daniel Connell Wm. O'Brian James Doyle Ed. O'Connor Thomas Haley Ed.
