BUFFALO, Nov. Your correspond
ent was this evening accorded an inter
terview with Mr.. Cleveland and ques-
tioning him regarding the result. He
had just received dispatches proclaim
ing 10000 majority in Brooklyn and
$4,000 in New York. "The majority
will not be less than 100000 in the
"There are indications that $50 600 will
be reached. The result surpasses my
expectations by many thousands"
SIS the result due to the unpopular
ity of the Stalwart Administration or
the turning of the public sentiment to
the democratic pa-ty?'
ut is chiefly the former" was the
reply. "Many things have occurred to
bring the Republican party into disre
pute, bat the immediate cause is the
interference of the National Admins
tration with state polite. The Demo
Gratis will be able only to repeat this
victory by keeping the present harmony
and showing the public that the change
means reform and good government"
"Does it presage victory in 1884 Z"
THE result in 1884 will depend on
the conduct of the two parties during
the intervening period"
RECEIVING THE RETURNS.
New YORK Nov. THE election re-
turns were received and shown at
great many places throughout the city,
but the crowds were not extraordinarily
large nor enthusiastic except at tam
many nall and at the democratic state
committee headquarters. At the former
place most of the local lights of the
democracy were gathered on the plat
form. Among others was John Kelly,
his face wreathed in smiles. The vote
of the several districts were read off by
Secretary Metz and the overwhelming
votes given for Cleveland over Folger
was in almost every instance received
with enthusiastic cheering. Slocum's
vote over Carroll also elected much APP
plaus. After much clamorng for a
speech from John Kelly he stepped for
ward and congratulated the audience
on the success of the democracy. He
said it exceeded his antcipations. His
speech was received with rounds of APP
plause. Messrs. Fellows aid Haskins
also spoke at the headquarters
of the democratic state committee
tonight. Everybody was in a jabilant
state. As the returns from all parts of
the state came pouring in, showing,
beyond all doubt, the success of Cleve-
land, the feeling of anxiety that pre-
vailed during the day lest something
might happen to Illustrate the bright
hopes of the democracy was early dis
PEELED, and it soon became evident
that the only question was as to how
many thousand majority their guber-
Material candidate would receive. lt
was freely said among those gathered
at headquarters that Cleveland, from
private dispatches received by him
from all parts of the state, estimated
his majority at $4,000. Crowds con-
tinued to pour into the Park Hotel to
listen to the reading of the returns un.
til it was almost as hard to get ont as
it was to get in. As the figures for the
election districts in the city were called
out the spectators gave undeniable
demonstrations of their enthusiasm by
means Of their hands and feet and
cheers. Gentlemen in hroadcloth and
beaver stood side by side with
laborers in their working clothing,
and old men elbowed young ones
in an endeavor to obtain positions
from which to hear. The great
est good humor prevailed, however,
among the crowd, and each person
present was willing to suffer inconve-
nence for the privilege of listening to
the details of the victory AS they came
in.
The scenes at the republican head
quarters were not Of hilarious char
acter. No returns were read and no
speeches were made. The chief inter
est conferred in the minor offices, the
election of Cleveland and the remain
der of the state ticket being conceded
early in the afternoon. Republicans
came in large numbers to tue Fifth
Avenue hotel, but the crowd was one
of the shifting kind, none coming to re-
main very long to listen to the incom-
ing news of disaster.
New YORK, Nov. president Ar
thur arrived IN New York little after
midnight last night, and proceeded to
his residence on Lexington avenue.
He remained there quietly, receiving
few callers, until about o'clock in the
afternoon, when ne vent to the polls
at 400 Third avenue. 1t was almost
the closing hour when he entered and
deposited his ballot. In answer 10
questions by thel inspectors be gave
| his full name and residence. He voted
the straight Republican ticket, state
and county. AS he passed out of the
door he was greeted by three rousing
cheer given by the crowd that had gath
cred around the place. The Chief Mag
fstrate acknowledged this expression of
good will by raising his hat twice. He
walked back to his house on Lexington
avenue, where ne remained but short
time. He went to the Fifth Avenue
Hotel, and spent the evening there, re-
\ ceiying the returns in a private parlor
in company with few personal
friends.
