Morning Serendde
Before seven o'clock, last evening,
crowds of people began to assemble on
Market street, around the telegraph Of
fees newspaper offices and party head
quarters, anxious to hear the returns OF
the election. ..4-.
In the early part of the evening the
Republicans were extremely jubilant but
when the announcement came that New
York, New jersey, Connecticut and In
diana had gone Democratic they became
quite chop-fallen. Mr.. Pickels at once
surrendered all hope of electing Hayes,
and the Republicans then turned their
attention to the city vote, in order 10 as
certain their chances of carrying the
county. -.-.E
Soon the returns came in from the
lower wards, and when the SUBSTANTIAL
Democratic majorities which had been
secured, in spite of U. s. Deputy Mar
shals, were announced, the Republicans
stood aghast and turned for comfort to
their up town strongholds. Tha Ninth
Ward overwhelmed them with tie vote;
Sixth where they had boastingly claimed
$50 majority only gave them 165, and the
Fifth gave but 176. The Seventh alone
gave its accustomed majority by about
375 and in summing up the Radicals
found themselves with bare majority i'll
the city, and no prospect whatever of
making any headway in the country.
The last straw completely broke the
Radical camels back, ,and THE negro band
which had been engaged to celebrate the
expected victory, sneaked home with
| their suits under their arms.
Other Republicans followed suit, and
by midnight none but exultant and re-
joicing Democrats could be found upon
our streets.
AN EARLY sERENADE
About o'clock, this morning, when the
election of Tilden and Hen
bricks, and the entire State ticket was
conceded, the City Cornet Band was pro-
cured, and about one hundred Democrats
started out on a serenading tour,
Henry q. Turner, ESQ.,, was first called
upon and after briefly responding he ac-
companied the procession.
Mayor Whiteley was next called upon
and was repeatedly cheered as the "Cen-
tennial Mayor" and the "Mayor who was
not afraid of the Deputy Marshals," hav-
ling retired to his bed, he did not respond
to the serenade. .. ...- ....
James W. Ware, our member elect Of
1.-THE Legislature, was next serenaded and
Icheered. He acknowledged the compli-
ment by appearing at his bedroom win
dow.
James Carswell, member elect of the
Levy Court, was serenaded and responded
in q neat speech, in which he promised to
do all in his power to satisfy his constitu
ents, inperforming the duties of his office.
The crowd, which by this time had
swelled to large proportions, next took up
; the line of march for the residence of the
, Hon. Thos. F. Bayard, in the Tenth
lward. Their march was triumphal ova
tion, as from nearly every house men,
and children came out and made the well
kin ring with shouts ofjoy for the glorious
g victory.
Arriving at Senator Bayard's residence
, the procession filed around into the from
= 4. yard, and the band performed several live
u ly airs. In a short time the Honorable
Senator made his appearance, and was
greeted with vociferous cheers. In re-
SPONGE he congratulated the people on the
grand victory which had been achieved
and urged upon all the necessity of max
ing proper use of our victory, in orde
that the interests of good gavernmen
might be subserved.
After giving Senator Bayard three mor'
HEARTY cheers the crowed formed in line
returned to the city, and dispersed t
their homes.
