One Hundred Guns.
New YORK, November This morning
a salute of 100 guns were fired in City Hall
| Park by order of the leader Of the county
Democracy in honor of Grover Cleveland 5
election to the Presidency. The booming
of guns drew a large crowd from the bulle-
tin boards at the newspaper offices to the
Park During the firing portion of a
wad from gun struck little newsboy
named Jacob Simon in the face, knocking
out his eye. The Herald, Sun and Extra
have withdrawn their bulletin boards. AT
the Herald bulletin board this morning the
crowd was quite enthusiastic over the an
nounced election of Cleveland and Hend-
ncks, and this increased when it was de-
clared that Jay Gould had conceded to
Cleveland and had sent Il tclegraphic dis
patch to the Governor cOngritulating him
upon his election. The Republicans con-
tinue firm, however, and still maintain that
Blaine has carried the State.

beyond question. Manning Chairman of
the State Committee, tells the public to-

Posting of Election Bulletins Forbidden.
PITTsBURG, November 7th.-A proclama-

settled, by order of Mayor Fulton, as being
calculated to keep up excitement and par
