NEW YORK,

BUFFALO, N. Y, Nov, 6.-This even
ing, considering that an attempt to count
Blaine in by New York's vote was more
than suspected by democrats, body of
$500 men turned out and woke the
echoes with their cheering and songs.
All the old campaign airs were used, but
conspicuous among these were this:
Blaine Blaine, Jay Gould Blaine, cons
tinental liar of the state Of Maine" and
this I'VE will hang DR.. Ball on the sour
apple tree" All were armed with brooms
or tin horns keyed to the widest diScord,
and the racket was prodigious. Every
man wore chrome rooster in his hat,
and more of the same sort of poultry
pinned to his clothes. There was, how
ever, but little Illumination along the line
of march. A sense of uncertainty still
remains, too vivid for general enthusiasm.
A monster turnout is assured as soon as
the impossibility of counting Blaine in is
settled. Republicans watched the parade
grumly, and notified the paraders that
their turn would come yet. The feeling
is everywhere becoming more intense
Republicans are still besieging the offices
of their leading party journals for news
and all possible comfort is given them
The struggle already assumes the charac.
ter of that of eight years ago.
