John P. st. John Burned in Effigy by
Howling Mob.

TOPEKA, kAs., November This city
last night was wild with excitement
over the election returns, and the sus-
pense OF both Republicans and Demo-
Gratis was great. Both parties marched
the streets yelling and cheering, and the
returns were favorable alternately to one
and the other. The greatest indignation is
expressed by Kansas Republicans at
81 John, whose course in New York
has led TO results which have
proved disastrous to their party, and the
eX-GovenOr's name was shouted in deri-
sion by thousands of Republicans upon
the streets. Last evening an etlgy of St.
John with rope around its neck
was paraded up and down the
principal avenues Of the city, followed
by bowling mob of fully 5000 people
Vt eight O'Clock the procession halted in
front OF the Western Union Telegraph
Office and nailed TO the telegraph pole a
cross bearing the following Inscription
"Sacred to the memory of John Z. st.
John, November 4, 1881 A rope was
thrown over the cross-bar and the eliigy
was soon swinging from the top of the
telegraph poles. Colonel i. II. Coney,
who was conspicuous as one of the Irish
orators in the Ohio campaign, then adj
dressed the asSemblagc in the following
words:
FELLOW CITIZENS: The Just indigna-
ton of the righteous and loyal people of
Kansas is here expressed by the public
eXecration and final destruction of that
carpet-bagger, John P. St. John. He has
violated every trust and confidence and
deserves no consideration. Parade him !
hang him! burn him! But be sure and
clear Kansas of his disgraceful name"
At the conclusion of his remarks a
match was applied to the etllgy and it was
soon burned, amid the shouts and ieers
OF the populace, and the National Pro-
hibition candidate for President went to
destruction in etllgy at the capital of his
State and in the city where he lived during
his four years of administration as Gov
ernor of Kansas.

IMPOSSIBLE TO DESCRIBE.
The Enthusiasm Which Marked
the Reception of the News
at jefferson City.
What Governor Crttenden Has to Say
About the Election of Cleve-
land--I Told You So.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, November T.
1t is impossible to describe the Demo-
cratic enthusiasm in this city over the
election of Cleveland. At ten o'clock
this morning the capitol building was a
perfect bedlam. The offices were all
crowded and the confusion was fully
equal to the last Democratic State Con-
vention. Surging crowds went from
room to room, yelling like Indians and
practically putting stop to all business.
A reporter called at the various Offices
and found the heads Of all departments
wild with the excitement The wall of
Governor Crittcnden's Office was covered
with ROSTERS, which the Governor re-
marked, were the ones which had escaped
from the GloJe-DemocrGt office.
THE GOVERNOR
was in the best of spirits and when asked
for his views concerning the effect of
Cleveland's election said: "The election
of Cleveland will bring permanent and
political peace to the whole country, North
and South. Its tendency will be to break up
the solid North and solid South and draw
us together as one people and one country.
The Republican party attempted for
twenty years to unite the country, and
failed, and now the Democratic party, as
the National party of the country, will
unite in heart and hand, in commerce and
confidence, from one end to the other.
1t will also reduce the taxes of the coun.
try to peace footing"
"What about Cleveland's Cabinet?"
81 can only guess about 10, as any other
man. 1t will be wise, conservative en-
lightened. 1t will guard the interest Of
the whole country and individuals, white
and black The credit of the Govern.
ment will be zealously guarded by the
Democratic party. This success will
restore the Government to the
paths and teaching of the fathers, and
will diSproye all the falsehoods OF the
Republicans against the Democratic
party. | think the administration of
Cleveland will be as much broader and
more natural as President, as the field
in which he will operate in the future
is broader than the present one in which
he is now acting"
Cleveland"
ICES, ON lne 2Jtn OF November, 1857,
after Cleveland's election as Governor.
VIM. johnson, of Buffalo, applied to be
appointed Commissioner of Deeds for the
State in New York City, which applica-
ton was indorsed by Governor Cleve-
land. My Endorsement on the petition Is:
Issue commission to Mr.. john
son upon the recommendation of
the next President of the United
States When he was elected by that
majority, it clearly pointed out that he was
the coming man of Il coming party victory.
Cleveland will make the best President
the country has had since the war. He
will open the books which will open the
eyes of the people, and will straighten
many crooked paths in which the Repub-
lican party has placed the country"

The Tribune Still Holds Out.

NEW YORK, November ALI the morn
ing papers except the TriJdRe admit that
Cleveland has from 1000 to 1900 plu-
rality in this State. The Tribune claims
1000 plurality for Blaine, and does not
credit the statement of the Associated
Press in its n. m, bulletin that from
official county returns and close figures
on twelve unollicially reported counties,
Cleveland will have 1000 plurality.
Nor does it place faith in the Associated
Press statement that the majority re-
ported by them for Blaine has been wiped
out by important changes in the vote of
Westchester and Queens Counties.
The Tribune states that at a. IN.
the Associated Press furnishes cor
rection TO avoid misrepresentation of
their a. m. bulletin, and explained
that while earlier reports yesterday
were made up from district re-
by footngs of various county
clerks. The footings by districts
would give Blaine 500 plurality. As re-
vised by the county Clerks, the totals
would give about 1000 for Cleveland.
Both footings are to be furnished to-day
for comparison. If the county clerks
footing is more correct II is because tele-
graphic errors must have caused some
mistake in the district returns. The
7ri1sne claims the only correct returns
must be by district tables, while counties
must be mere estimates, which, in fCfmer
years, always varied largely from the
official returns,

As tho evening wore away the Associated

turns OF the complete vote p the various

steadily mounted, and at II $50 the report
read; "Returns from all the election

are made from official returns OF
Tioga and Broome Counties" At
l2:45 the Associated Press said;
"Ofilcial returns from Queens County
reduce the Republican plurality in
the State TO 37l," At one o'clock the As
ISOLATED Press gave the State to Cicyc-
land, saying: "O1lcial returns from West
Chester County give Democratic gain

DETROIT, MICH, November CHAIR
man Eddy of the Democratic State Gen.
trail Committee practically comedies the
election of Alger for Governor. The Re-
publican figures place his plurality at
1900. The majority for Blaine electors
does not greatly differ from these
figures. Later returns give Democratic
majority of six on joint ballot in the
Michigan Legislature. Both sides now
claim the second Congressional District,
and both are honest in their claims UNI
doubtedly, as the district Is very close
and there has been some errors in count
Ing on both sides.
