who had taken the town in the belief
that Blaine and Logan had been
elected, but the reports furnished at
midday put a different phase upon
affairs, and upon the receipt Of q re-
port that the New York Tribune had
conceded the State to Cleveland,
which WAS posted up on the bulletin
boards, the Democrats appeared in
great numbers. Their hats were dec
Grated with roosters and devices, and
they carried brooms. Headed by
band they paraded through the prin
cipal streets, raising a deafcning din
with fish horns. They called on
Hendricks, filing the spacious yard
and street in front Of his residence,
and when he appeared the noise was
simply terrific. Finally something
like order was restored, and Mr.. Hen
bricks said:
"Gentlemen, I am taken by sur
prise by this large collection Of my
fellow-citizens. l appreciate how well
you have done, and the honest senti-
ments which animate you. | have
no satisfactory information, but l
have no doubt that the ticket which
was nominated in Chicago on July s
has been elected. Applause. But
this is a matter Of such grave i'm
portance that l would like to know
very conclusively before make any
remarks. This has been the most
extraordinary contest l have ever
been connected with. There has been
the most profound sentiment and
anxiety among the people, and for
thirteen weeks ! have been part OF
the interested mass Of my fellow
citizens. l have done everything to
promote this result. If you appreci-
ate it, 1 thank you. Great ap-
plause. suppose that by evening
we shall have full information. Then
I shall be very glad to join you in
some expressions of qualification.
Until that time, I think will say
goodbye to you
The New York correspondent of
the Netcs ord Courier, says:
The scenes in this city to-day,
Nov. 7th, have been but the repetition
Of those ofycsterday-crowds around
the downtown bulletin boards during
the day and crowds around the polit-
ical headquarters during the evening.
There is manifest abatement Of the
excitement, caused Ey the general
belief that Cleveland is elected and
that the Republicans are powerless to
count him out.
But this is only temporary. The
powder is there, and so is the alterna
tive. Let it appear for a moment
that there is a danger Of Cleveland
being dcfrauded, and storm will
break such as has never been known.
Men Of al classes, those who voted
for Blaine as well as those who sup.
ported Cleveland, are open in their
declaration that they are willing to
shoulder musket, if il be necessary
in order to enforce the will Of tie
