returns that have reached us Of tho election held |
yesterday are not sufficient % authorize aposinve
aunouucemcntUf the general result" So ocmPha,t. |
yallypub sh TO OurTcadus the tbet'hat the returns
amply warrant us in stating thlt the Union ticket
has been elected by q handsome majority, and
that Abraham Lincoln hus been rcius.ltnl iu The
Presidential CHAIR for The next four years. Like
the weather Of this morning, the Democrats ors
rather clamp" in feeling, and their countonauces
are elongated to an almost inconceiyablc extent
Last evening. though the weather was iOggy
ana accompanied by a drilling rain, large
crowds were congrogated in front Of the various
political headquarters, especially at the Union
League rooms, where hundreds Of people waited
to hear the announcement Of the returns.
Strangely contrasting with the brilliant scenes
witnessed at the League rooms and those Of the
Supervisory Committee, were those presented at
the headquarters of the Democratic State EXecu-
tive Committee. There nothiug but total dark
ness existed, and naught but a knowledge the
existence of the building indicated the fact that
| this was the headquarters Of the Opposition.
Towards o'clock, as the returns came in, indi-
eating a grand Union victory, the crowd was
greatly augmented, and the in,Gnsest enthusiasm
! prevailed. Chesnut street was crowded with
| Union men for several miles in length, cheering
| aud shouting until they were almost hoarso. The
| arrival of a delegation from the Fourteenth ward,
| announcing the election of the Union ticket by
| 1900 majority, served to render the Union men
more tunultuous in their actions although free
from anything like disOrderly conduct. Thus
the excitement continued until the hour OF mid
night-the cheers of the Union men, heard at
some distance, gratefully conveying TO the ears
| of our citizens that ounce Abe was "hu rght,
and that the Copperhead faction were, by cue
voice of the people, ieaItully and totally
| anrihilatCd.
This morning at an early hour the different
newspaper offices Of the city were besegcd by
! large crowds, all eagerly waiting TO obtain copies
| Of the papcrs giving complete announcements of
the returns from this and other States. While
the different Union papers circulated their issues
by thousands, the COpperhead journals were
riyen the go-by altogcther save by the curious
few who were desirous Of ascertiining with what
complacenCy they announced the victory. ono
of these the Agc, very properly announced to its
readers that it had no deSUe to encourage hopes
that may be disappointed!
Notwithstanding the London weather of the
asst few days still continues this morning, there
is settled iubilant expression upon me people $
cUuutcnances salt river tickets are being circu-
lated upon the streets, much TO the amusement OF
many while others (Copporheads) scowl at those
newsboys who may be bold enough to ot1r
l them.
last evening, speeches were made at the
National Hall, Concert Hall, and the hall Of thC
\ Republican Invlncibcs, by several prominent
q speakers.
