COLUMBUS, November lU.-Ihe excitement
over thu election news continue, unabated.
The streets have been filed all day with ~
cited crowds, much more irritable and less
generous than heretofore. Several street
fights have occurred. The returns have been
of such a varied character, and the people
have been kept so long waiting between hope
and fear, that the more ignorant of the street
visitors are growing petulant and less inclined
to bear the chatting of their political oppo-
nents. The Democratic State committee stilI
assert their perfect conhdcncein in Tildcn' elec-
ten. The Republican committee, a majority
Of whom have heretofore had doubts as to the
result, are now perfectly confident of Hayes
election, and have 20 notified their CORES pond

himself no longer doubts his election. and l.
confident that an honest canvass of the votes
in the States that have been set down ar
doubtful will fully prove this fact to the per
feet satisfaction Of all fair-minded men. A
squad of earnest and confident Democrats
have been grsyitadng between the Demo
