Yesterday morning Democ ats in the
city began firing guns over the good
news contained in the HERALD of the
almost sure election of Cleveland aud
Hendricks for president and vce-presi-
dent, From early dawn until 10 O'Clock
in the forenoon The street in front of
the HERALD Office was packed with
people, awaiting news confrmatory OF
the outlook given IN the HERALD. The
merchant from the counting room, the
lawyer from his books, the physician
from his patients, the mechanic from
his work shop, the labOror from his
daily toll, the minister from his study,
and even ladies from their boudoi &,
were in the throng, all eager, all
anxious for more news, for moro glad
tidings Of the delivery of the land from
the hand, of the Philistiuos; for the
establishment of honest government
once more. As the Geographic bulletins
would arrive, the welkin would ring;
the very vault of heaven would resound
with the joyous shouts of the multitude
whenever favorable for the Democracy.
AS the day wore ON, the bulletins from
New York began to grow unlavorable.
Country precincts were reducing Cleve-
lands majority, until finally it was an
nOunced that Blaine was ahead in the
State, with only q few more precincts to
come in. Then gloom began to fall
upon the people and you could
see sadness in every Democrats
face, whilo the Republicans were
corrospondingly iublant.
At o'clock another change came over
the spirit OF the peoples dream. The
nuws, the glorious news was flashed
over the wires that New York had gone
for CLEVELAND; that the Democratic ma
tonal committee had notified him of his
election and that they were firing one
hundred guns in Albany in honor of the
success of tho Democracy. The city was
wild then; it was frantic; mad with joy 4;

Shout after shout went up from the
hearts Of thousands throughout the city.
All business was virtually suspended.
guns were fred, hands were shaken
and mon who never "smiled"
before "smiled" often.
At the two headquarters OF the Re-
puhlicans, the Norton wing in the Nor
ton building and the oily Whites" in
Maver's Hall, they were receiving dis
patches all day and were elated or de-
pressed according to tho nature of the
bulletins, In the face of the flattering
news in favor Of the Democracy, they
kept up their courage manfully and
hoped on, hoping ever.
INCIDENTS.
Ono Of tho amusing features OF the
day was tho parade of "The Young
Democracy" There were about 100
little boys, ranging in ago from
eight to fourteen years, each one with II
tin horn, needed by drum corps, and
marsnaled by MAJoR-GENERAL j. S.
JOPLIN, commercial traveller, from
Richmond, Virginia, for tho tobacco
house of GENTRY Il Co., of that city.
Ito provided them with their horns, pre-
sented them with banner, the white
flag of truth and purity bearing the
the legend, "the young dem cracy,"
and marched them through tho streets
making music rather dscordant, il il
true, still sweet music as il was in glori-
| iicatiOn of the success of the Democracy
in the land, the establishment ofhonesty
and right once again, and the downfall
OF misrule, corruption and despotism.
They paraded again in the afternoon,
when the news OF Clevelund's success
became certainty and added much to
the enthusiasm Of tho occasion.

corner of Main and Murphy streets.
