they began to give vent to their exuber-
amt spirits. Burn that letter. was the
cry as a bit OF paper, ablaze, went iitN er-
lng down to the steps, nearly setting fire
TO a policemans coat tails.

Ill. RALD:-Conlidence in the sturdy
common sense Of the people Of the United
States inspires Us with 4 trust that New
YORK is not to be q ''pivotal' State as
heretofore-,h its thirty-siN electors Will
not be ess initial TO the success Of CIeye-
iant ana hendricks, but VIII 50 TO swell
IN electoral 2jority f0- sI candidates
al1ole without And we aIso nave (. con
idereo chat BE greet ,ote Of Cleveland |
AID Hendricks III this city and in Brook
lyn will not be needful 10 their success in
their state. We believe that they will I
come down to Harlem Bridge" with a
majority ample enough to make their ma
jorty in tie metropolis ald Brooklyn |
merely q piling Of Ossa on Peiion.
The Tines If our friends in other
States have not long ago dismissed all |
fears about New York, we think that yes
terday's demonstrations in this city, added |
to the news Of rapidly increasing Republi-
can detection in al parts Of the State,
Will convince them that Blaine has no |
more chance Of getting the Electoral votes
Of New Y Iork than he has Of getting those
of Georgia.
THE WORLD:-It is safe to say that 100
600 people participated in this demonstra-
tion in behalf Of Cleveland and Honest
Union Square, the Acad-
envy of Music and the streets adjacent.
This magnificent demonstration-the
finest that New York has seen for very
many years argues well for the cause of
Cleveland. 1t tell the country that the
heart of the metropolis is solid for Reform
and Change. It means Victory in Novem-
Der. It is the greeting of New York City
to the battling Democracy Of Ohio.
