The debate last evening in Sever 11 was attended by an unusually large audience, and, on account of its connection with the present political campaign, a great deal of interest was manifested in the discussion. The meeting was called to order at a quarter of eight. The minutes of the previous meeting were then read and approved, and a secret ballot taken on the merits of the question, which was, "Resolved, That the best interests of Massachusetts require the re-election of Gov. Butler." Mr. Sewall opened for the affirmative, speaking twice, as Mr. Barnes yielded his time to him ; and Mr. Baldwin and Mr. Sanders opened for the negative. A secret ballot was then taken on the merits of the debate by the disputants. The debate being then thrown open to the house, a most interesting discussion followed, in which Messrs. Hoar, Frost, McInnis, Wait and others joined. Mr. Sanders closed for the negative and Mr. Sewall for the affirmative. A vote was taken upon the merits of the debate as a whole, which resulted in favor of the negative by 104 to 21. The secretary then announced the results of the secret ballots, which were as follows: On the merits of the question, affirmative 22 ; negative, 148; on the merits of the debate by disputants, affirmative, 41; negative, 157. The subject, "Resolved, That women should be admitted to suffrage on the same terms as men," was chosen for the next debate, and, on motion, the meeting adjourned.
