 Yesterdays news had peculiar interest | for both Democrats and Republicans. The | early doubt and despondency of the latter was succeeded by hopefulness mingled with uncertainty, while the Democrats were plunged from pinnacle of joy to deplora- ply anxious plane of grave doubt and alarm. The charred remains of the Democratic bon fires on Chapel street the night before were hardly cleared away before the tickers began to inform the waiting public that all was not 30 roseate for the one side or so tough for the other as had appeared just before the break of day. Democrats who had, in their exuber- ance and confidence, made sanguine bets late the night before were plunged into doubt and uncertainty, and Republicans frightened up amazingly and began to come up all smil- ing to the bulletin boards. Everyone vowed it was queer election and resolute old Dem- ocrats vowed that the turn in the news was 8 device of the adversary. Democrats ceased shouting, and Republicans began to mutual ly congratulate. The bulletin boards gave new hope and some of them finally an nounced that Blaine carried New York by from 5000 to 10000 majority. Later on came other dispatches. The COURIER bulle- tin was surrounded by eager crowds. and at the telephone company's office throngs viewed the various bulletins placed outside, which gave epitome of the various news paper bulletins in New York received by tel ephone from the great citya "How's cleo tionf' tsWhat's the latest?" ftIs it true that Blaine has carried New Yorkan and kim Tv61 q an eagerly enquiring public. Very reliable and very unreliable yer !. sions of the dispatches circulated rapidly about the city. The telephone office girls threatened to vote in body for an amend ment to the constitution of the United States providing that hereafter presidential elec- tions shall occur but once in ten years, such being the flood of enquiries by telephone Early in the afternoon the bulletins gave great hope to the Blaine men who postponed all thought of getting aboard for Salt river and the Cleveland prospects began to look correspondingly gloomy. By seven p. m. the streets were alive with people anxious to get the very latest, both sides maintaining confidence as to the final result The Republican headquarters were thronged and for hours everybody seemed as jubilant as could be imagined with the revulsion of feeling from doubt to inspiring hope. The hall was so crowded that it was with diff culty any newcomer could wedge in The newspaper offices were besieged with en- quiries, and the captains of campaign com mands were in readiness to respond to any notification for summons to order out their men for grand joyful parade. Every atom of favorable news was quickly seized upon and revealed at Republican headquarters, causing wild demonstrations of joy The in terest to hear from New York's back coun- ties was most absorbing, and the general i'm pression appeared to be among Republicans that Blaine was the coming man.
 The frolic was kept up at headquarters until late and knots of Blaine men and knots of Cleveland men were frequent on Chapel and Church streets till midnight discussing and gesticulating over the varying reports At about 10 o'clock procession of two hun dred colored men marched in procession about town celebrating the favorable news. About 400 Yale Blaine students also paraded, blow ing horns and shouting. It was after midnight before the election uproar ceased, and old Boreas thereafter did all the blow ing, and did it in March style. Various of the Republican companies were notified last night to be ready to answer an official call for a grand parade should the returns fully justi- fy it.
