VARIOUS CANDIDATES sEREN AIDED
ALMOST A RIOT.
As the returns OF The election yestei-
day began TO come in last evening, the
Republicans gathered in from Of the
Lincoln Cinb's headquarters, and soon
the room in the third Story of the Adams
building was crowded by both whit IS
and blacks.
As eacu return vas read of, il ii was
a victory for them, they would send up a
hearty cheer.
When II was assured that they had
gained victory, the cheering was al
most deafening, and the crowd was so
great that II was with great difficulty
that pedestrians could pa along the
street. About 10 O'Clock colored band
was sent for and upon arriving at the
headquarters, the crowd from the room
rushed pell nell down stairs and Joined
the crowd upon the pavement aud in the
street.
Previous to the arrival of the band
short speeches were made In the room
ey Anthony Higgins, Esq., S. A Macal
lister, Esq, and +. Eden Bach. The
speakers urged their hearers To perfect
their organizations, 60 to work, and In
November the Republicans would carry
New Castle County.
After the arrival of the band the
crowd formed a promiscuolfs process
sion, and started out for the purpose
of serenading the successful candi-
dates. They first marched to Third
and Market streets and serenaded w.
+. Robinson, the newly-elected mem
Der from the Third ward. After
cheers for the whole ticket the line of
march was taken up, and each candi-
date visited. A number of prominent
leaders of the party were also tender
ed serenade. AS the line marched
along the streets, there was an almost
continual singing of old wa. songs.
About 12 o'clock the procession
marched to the Morning Neics office,
and tendei.d the editor aud proprio-
tors short serenade After tre band
had ceased playing ii. c. Conrad,
Esq, appeared and thanked those
present for the mark of respect that
had been rendered the office. In his
remarks which were short, he enthused
his hearers by informing them that al
the November election New Castle
county would be redeemed by the Re-
publicans, and that Judge Houston
would be elected to Go gress. s A.
Macallister, Esq, was called upon and
made few remarks, the gist of which
were te the effect that he desired to see
the State of Delaware redeemed from
the enemies against whom he had
spent four of his best young years in
fighting.
During the speeches man who was
stanking on the pavement called for
three cheers for Hancock. This arous-
ed the feelings of the negroes in the
crowd, i'll fact they were very nearly
all negroes, and they made dash ior
the man, who took to his heels and
ran for his life, and well he did, for no
doubt had they have caught him, he
would have Jared very badly. The
crowd was excited, and in order to
appease theiI feelings they knocked an
old man of their own color down. and
commenced to kick him unmercilully.
and they only desisted, when lie com
menced 10 call for the police. Ii would
have taken very little to have aroused
the negroes to such a degree, that
they would not have stopped snort OF
riot.
After leaving Lhe News Off they
continued to march around town max
ing the night hideous with their yells
until about 80 o'clock this morn
