AT THE HERALD UPTOWN OFFICE.

Long before the calcium light cast its pallid
smile OF the HERALD bulletin board, at this place,
there had gathered motley crowd, through which
circulated fevcrish food OF conjcctures, mingled
with the expressed hopes and fears Of the con-
stituents OF three parties. The same effect pro-
duced on q theatrical audience by the raising of
the footlights was visible among this crowd when
the lime light was ignited. A buzz OF excitement
general shifting from side to size, and the imme-
diate occupation OF vantage spots were the result
ol This lnceptlve movement towards the DISPENSE
tiOn OF Information. When the announcement was
made on the board that C0nner's majority over
McCool would probably amount to 10000 the APP

rahsW supplemented with several struggling
tigers" The fragmentsry kilograms from the
tier OF river counties, indicating democratic
majorities, Effected the gazers but little. They
seemed to be infested in the local issue only, and
every announcement on the county vote in favor
OF Tammany found responsive echo In their
leather lungs.
At hal-past eight the throng had increased to
such an extent that the cars had great difficulty
police succeeded IN keeping a clear way on the
road and sidewalks, much TO the delight OF tho
drivers and conductors, who so particular

displaying that inclination OF all democratic as

When enough was known to indicate the general
result the interest waned and the asselnblage
gradually dispersed, leaving the street compare

IRVING HALL.

Irving Hall, the headquarters OF the Apollo Hall
democracy during the campaign, presented sl
yesterday afternoon and during the evening
desolate appearance. The place had become so
we'll known the committee room from which
emanated the resolves and the denunciations Of
Tammany's foe that expectations had been formed,
ana reasonably so of q grand display there last
evening OF reformatOry doctrine and OF rhetorical
nuzzah with which no EFFORT OF ancient Tammany
could by any chance compete. Not much notice
was taken by the hurrying crowds during the
afternoon ofthe fact that Irving Hall was closed;
but when evening came on and Tammany threw
out It's gas lights, and the crowds began to move
along Fourteenth street toward the old Wigwam,
the contrast was at once subject Of comment
and the cause Of annoyance or vexation as the
rival parties had observed 1t.
AT ABOUT ErGiir O'CLOCK
an occasional little crowd would approach the
building, but the most earnest pushing or pulling
at the doors failed in every case TO eject an en-
trance, and the groups with an expression OF
queer dissatisfaction, soon took their departure
and bent their steps toward the lively throng pass
ing along Fourteenth street. After half an hour
or so, even these seldom visitors put In an appear
ance, for by this time the news had spread around
among the crowds in Fourteenth street that
Irving Hall was closed and that Apollo Hall was
making no SHOW As the announcement was
made by those whose hopes for the Apollo Hail
men had never fallen too low, shakes OF the head
followed and immediate opinions were expressed
that II was very hard to beat Tammany."
AT HALF-PAST EIGHT O'CLOCK
HERALD reporter was alone on the steps leading
TO irving Hail. thinking OF how desolate the scene
around was Not light glimmered from any part
Of the building, not even through the oval glass
windows IN the door, within which Is the vestiDuc,
and as II to mark the desertion the more, only
OF the stately lamps at either side OF the entrance
had gas jet burning. The scene was very lonely,
though significant, and che more significant the
cheers from Tammany Hall came fully upon the ear,
suggesting tnat around the corner tidings were
being heard which called for enthusiastic ac-
knowledgment.
AT FIFTEEN MINUTES TO NINE O'CLOCK
the reporter abandoned all hope OF there being any
meeting OF Apollo Hall men at their neadouarters
that evening, and he set about making inquiry,
trusting that some favorable explanation might
be got at. gentlemen connected with Irving

Contrary to the apprehension Of many the "old
element" did not appear in full force yesterday.
Comparatively speaKing sthe boys" were nowhere,
and consequently Commissioner Davenport, who
held evee in the United States Court building at
which only few delinquent voters were pre-
sented, had little to do. The enterprising deputy
marshas had been sent forth to carry the law into
effect But, happily, their characteristic zeal had
no really good opportunity for display. They were

has to be looked after. The deputies were
also requested to keep bright look out for all

AROUND THE HERALD OFFICE.

little after dark crowds began to gather
around and in the vicinity Of the HERALD building,
and police force was detailed to preserve order
and to keep passage open for ladies, VINO seemed
fully as eager as the stronger sex to look at the
returns from the different districts In the city and
from other States. very handsome bulletin was
placed over the marble porch OF the HERALD build

painted on 1t. Between nine and ten O'Clock there
was densely packed crowd OF about 1900 or 1000
persons hemmcd In, stretching from the Astor
House and bounded by the railroad rermini and

ANDREW JACKSON CLUB.

The headquarters OF this organization, which Is
under the patronage OF James O'Brien, was par
ticularly dun last evening" Many men, workers In
the districts, were standing around the corner,
discussing the situation. All agreed that the
scratching Of the Apollo Hall ticket was most ex-
traordinary and fatal to the success OF the CON-
bination. The lights in the front windows OF the
club room were out, and though the doors were
thrown wide open very few crossed the thresh.
hold In the billiard room were gathered
about SIX or eight persons presided
over by the well known .Jimmyn CORY,
the steward OF the club. Among these
members, two were DOING on the chairs while the
others were exchanging consolatory remarks.

few more detected ones strolled into the club
room in the course OF the evening looked gloomiy
at the tables, glanced ominously around and went
out disconsoiate.
THE UNION LEAGUE CLUB.
Early yesterday evening several OF the members
OF this club assembled at the rooms to await the
teiegraphed election returns. At eight O'Clock the
ceived was unsatisfactory in the highest degree to
the assemblage. Though great many quietly eX-
pressed satisfaction at the election OF Conner,
whose success then was pretty certain at that
time, others deprecated the union with Apollo
Hail. and declared that the coalition had led to the
defeat OF the republican party. Shortly alter eight
p. M. a despatch was received stating that If the
city would give 10000 majority the State
would so democratic. This seemed to throw sud-
den gloom over all present, and the rooms after
wards thinned rapidly. The centre table
was surrounded by number OF old
gentlemen, well known In political circles
determined to sit It out and wait for the worst.
As the dispatches came in from the interior OF the
state they were handed around, conned over and
generally commented upon by each OF the men,
bers. The democratic gains through the different
counties OF the State we're accounted for in q
variety Of ways, and quite discussion arose as
to "h0w the river counties were golng.'
Up to haif-past nIne.oiclOck none Of the prom
inent members OF the republican party had made
their appearance, and though assurances came in
that two republican Senators-Booth and Ever
hardt-had been elected, the old politicians retired
In visible disgust.

SENATOR o'BRIrN's sK1RMIsH.
Some warm skirmisnng occurred between the
adherents Of the rival parties In the Twenty first
ward, which, while eventuating In arrests and
bruises and the drawing OF bad blood, happily, at
this writing, have not been productive Of more
serious results. About noon exaggerated rumors
stated that ex-senator O'Brien had had personal
rencontre with Mr.. Michael Gavin, member OF
the Tammany Hall General Committee, early in
the morning, at the Eighth election district
Of the Eighteenth Assembly district, and that
an arrest was made. reporter OF the HERALD

particulars Sergeant Christie was at the desk
and Sergeant Frank Randall was waiting In re-

Alaire was absent, and, despairing OF getting any
information from these sergeants, visit was paid

AT POLICE HEADQUARTERS.

The day passed here with comparatively little
incident. The arrangements for meeting any dis
turbance were very complete, but, happily, neither
'the stages,n which were drawn up in 'front.' OF the
building for the reserve force, nor the mounted
police were called into requisition. The reports
IRON the precincts showed comparative quietude
throughout the city. At night when the returns
began to come in rather freely few politicians, OF
the smaller magnitude, dropped in TO ascertain the
result OF the election as lar as heard from. The
usual crush and rush OF the people was conspicuous
by its absence, and the returns were announced In
