different candidates throughout the entire night

The few Observation-Disclosures who had kept the stars
company, retired to rest with the rising of the

Ihe wires, however, were, at that very time si-
lently carrying the news to all parts of the coun-

cesslOns were received to the crowds around the
newspaper offices every minute, and they soon be-
came so large that the footways and even por- |
ton of the street thronged to such an extent
that it was almost impossible for either oman or

at elght clock the night previous and those who
we're on toe gronnd were very quiet, and but little

from til Wnties were not only yerv meagre bpt
very co 'adictory, and the results footed up were
as different as they were numerous.
During the latter part of the afternoon several |
slight difficulties occurred, and blow or two was
struck without injury to any one. These little |
EPISODES were promptly stopped by the police, by |
the removal OF the active participants.
The arrival OF the Eastern Shore steamboats, was |
anxiclsly waited for, and before three o'clock |
