lsnecial Telegram to the Globe. !

NEW YORK, May 1.-The market showed
signs of doing better very soon after the open
Ing. The failure of yesterday seemed for
gotten. Western Union acted rather tickle
during the first hour, as did Union Pacific,
but by one o'clock, everything was on the
advance Northern Pacific preferred was
the leader and remained strong all day. The
business of the road is booming up so that
its friends seem to have hope that it may
yet be dividend-paying property. Alton
rose to 1913, and Chicago, Burlington
g. Quincy to 13S during the morn
ing There was lively trading
in st. Paul also. The bears came to the
front during the last hour and toppled over
prices in lively manner. Western Union
dropped two points and the remainder were
considerably unsettled. Mr.. Gould was
credited at the last with having engineered
the advance and also with being free seller
at about the highest points. Spectators in
privileges to-day were bidding SOC on the
dollar for Mr.. Keene's obligations. Stocks
closed excited and weak with rumors Of

moved from Columbus, Ohio, to Akron,

General Superintendent Wright, of the
Lake Shore road, has instructed conductors

sire to attend the annual meeting Of the Lake

reelected, as follows: John NJ. Forbes, Sid
ney Bartlett, Charles ]. Paine. Edward W.

trouble in Philadelphia and that Western
Union telegraph would commence war of
rates tonight.
A. M. Day says: ''The market was sup
ported at the opening, and during the fore
noon advanced quite strongly on evening.
The announcement ofa reduction of rates of
exchange caused further improvement and
better feeling throughout the last. During
the last hour it was reported that Western
Union had made large cuts in day rates and
would publish reduced night rates this even
ing. On this Western Union broke. Union
Pacific and Gould stocks rapidly declined,
and the market closed feverish and unset
tied. The strength of Northern Pacific
preferred is probably based on their large in
crease in earnings. During the forenoon,
money getting more active, there appeared
to be no buyers, but shorts. Our informa-
ton is that granger stocks will show an in
crease Of earnings this week"

The Democrats turned out in red colors
Yesterday ard last night The most en-
ihusiastic expectations were realized in the
demonstration last night in honor Of the
election of Cleveland and Hendricks. The
FIRE works were immensely grand. Men
and boys filed the air with shouts and the
noise Of tin horns Some wore suits Of red
and others were nearly covered with red.
Some of the Republicans have not yet
seIreDdered hope, but there is disposition
among Others to accept the situation a
only needing the official count to confirm
the reports.

Those 100 Guns.

The Democrats of Wheeling wanted to
FIRE another hundred guns at noon yester-
day in honor of Cleyeland's election, the
one hundred fred in the morning not salts
flying their srdor. They had disposed OF
two or three rounds, probably, when the
Mayor, through his Chief Of Police, put stop
toit This so incensed the Democrats that
they appointed a committee to wait on the
Mayor and learn why they could not pro-
coed with the salute. The Mayor took the
ground that it would disturb the peace and
quiet of the city, and especially as so much
Publication had already been INDUCED in,
and in view of the excited condition of pub
lie feeling, and the request of several citi-
zens to the Mayor to stop the noise and con-
fusion, he would not modify his Or
der. Tie Democrats, however, were not to
be thwarted from their purpose, so they
hmbered up their guns and planted them on
Fulton hill outside the city limits where at
last accounts they were still making the
welkin ring. The Bridgeport Democracy
were doing tue same thing on the Ohio
hills; so that between the firing of the two
batteries the multitude in the cities on the
plains below had the novel experience Of
being bombarded without the attending
damage.
IN subsequent conversation with the
Mayor the REGISTER ambassador learned
that the request Of the Democrats would
likely have been granted if he had known
they (the Democracy wanted to 6rehnoth-
er salute, but having issued his orderto the
Chief of Police to prohibit all firing OF what
ever character, he could not consistently
countermsnd his order without being &C
eused Of either lack Of 6rmness or partiaity.
Hence the preparation of the order

People Say.

On the Political situation-what Various
People Say.
Yesterday afternoon SUNDAY REGISTER
reporter cireslated about town to gather
the drift of opinion on the political situa-
ton and get the views of various men IRE
sytctive Of party. As general rule ali
he Democrats thought Cleveland was
elected and most ofthe Republicans thought
thematter was in doubt. There were many
Republicans, however, who gave it as their
real belief that Cleveland had been elected
ard they said, in the interest of fair play,
they hoped he would be quietly and peacea'
BY seated. Many expressions were gath
cred, but the authors declined to allow the
use of their names. One man, Demo
Graf, said:
81 honestly believe Cleveland is elected
ard that an effort is steadily being made to
count him out, but | wouldn't say so, be
cause my position makes me dependent on
the Republicans and | must not offend
them"
A certain prominent Republican said:
81 believe a change OF administration would
not be so bad, after all, and hope Cleye
land viii be placed in the seat he has fairly
won. But YOU must not use my name, for
obvious reasons.
Other expressions and opinions were as
follows:
Mr.. Brice, prominent druggist Of The
Eighth ward, says: IL believe Blaine is
elected Of course, there seems to be a
doubt Of il, but everything Is in our favor.
DR.. Pipes says: well, everybody knows
am Republican. but am Of this opinion,
neither side has anything to brag on.
Things have gone so far that the people
will not be satisfied until the official vote is
counted and both executive committees
announce thatit is all right / do not fear
any trouble, because the people are anx-
ious to see fair count.
Alfred Caldwell, Esq.-I believed that
Grover Cleveland has been honestly elected
and that he has carried New York State.
The reports received from the Associated
Press are not reliable. take that position
from the other news sent by that corpora
ton about West Virginia going Republican

Dick Bird, Rep.-We'n 90 up Salt River
