THE NEXT PRESIDENT.
Gov. Cleveland was at the executive
chamber all day, with the exception of
the time for lunching. He was accessi
bic to few visitors, spending most of the
morning and afternoon in his private con
sultati0n room with Col. Lamont. Mes
sages poured in upon him all day. Many
of them, anticipating his election, were
congratulatory in their nature. The gov
ernors wonderful selfpossession never
left him for an instant When he retired
at the executive mansion last night it was
getting toward daylight At that time
the contest gave evidence of being un>
comfortably close for both sides. There
were doubt and uncertainty everywhere.
| The governor took things easy and good
naturedly, commenting on the returns as
| received, whether favorable or otherwise.
| This morning the governor was up be-
| times and was early at the executive
chamber, where he met and consulted
with his private secretary and few
trusted political and personal friends.
| The situation was looked over carefully,
and was regarded as satisfactory in the
highest degree, The governor and his
private secretary were confident that New
| York had chosen Cleveland electors, and
! in order to remove all doubts arrange>
ments were made at once to secure rCliao
BILE returns from each county in the state
from the chairman of the respective coun
ty committees. These have been coming
in all day. This afternoon the governor
was closeted with his private secretary
and left at : o'clock for the executive
mansion. After dinner the governor
spent an hour in the main parlor, chatting
pleasantly and good naturcdly with thu
members of his household. TheIc was nC
trace Of petulcncc af nervousness abou
him, and indeed he seemed to be remark
ably uncOnCerned, while everywhere il
the CITY were being witnessed scenes 0
wild excitement From the returns as re
ceiveu the governor became more thOI
oughly than ever convinced that tn
state, though close had gone democrati
by q small safe majority. Col. Lamont
who tahulated the returns stated ton1gh
that they would show not less than 4 ,22t
and probably 5000, plurality for the dem
- ocratic electors.
New YORK, Nov. G.-1he SIN ha

board, giving the state to Cleveland b

a small plurality to Blaine. This actlo

short time fears were entertained that
would loot the building. Five thousan
men paraded through Printing houS
