Yesterday began with booming news for
Democracy. At the time the wires closed
the night before, there were broad indica-
tons that the people had understood them
selves and elected Cleveland and Hem
bricks. News early yesterday morning,
however, dispatches, printed elsewhere,
were received that left no vestige Of doubt
as to the result of the struggle between
the two parties for national supremacy.
To sum up the news, it may be said that
the remaining New York precincts in New
York showed Cleveland ahead by a plural
ity Of 1000 or more. Being convinced Of
this, funds were collected, every Demo-
crat coming cheerfully to the front. three
anvils we're brought out and put into place
on Main street and they were set to boom
ing. This began about 10 o'clock and was
kept up with hardly any intermission un-
til way into the night. The streets were
alive with excited people all day who were
as excited as they could we'll be. 1t was
long time since the Democrats had had
such substantial reasons for joy and turned
themselves loose accordingly. The day
was full of minor incidents such as could
have been predicted. There was cold
shower thrown ON the Democrats in the
afternoon by dispatch stating that Blaine
was IS ahead in New York. This was soon
found. however, to be bulletin (late
news) but Press dispatch probably kept
over from the night preceding and sent
out to "fll up with. Some posters we're
got out on white paper and q paint pot,
making hit or two on the situation. One
of these. some Republican gentleman
thought was too personal and offensive,
and it was therefore torn down. st.
George Stanley painted two cartoons,
which were apt and attracted good deal
of attention. At night two wagons were
joined together and trimmed with flags
and illuminated as we'll as could be
on the spur of the moment and they
we're crowded with ladies and children, and
as they moved about town there were
decorated Democrats acting as out
riders and guides and crowd following
and hurrahing for Cleveland. A trans
parency was improvised, but it proved too
big to get onto the wagons and it could be
used only as an ornament to garnish
bonfire in front of Il. Sadler's store:
CLEVELAND IS ELECTED, AND STILL THE
REPUBLIC is SAFE" On the front seat of
one of the wagons sat Baron Won Roths-
child, with pure white rooster hoisted
above his head and squatted comfortably
on a plank. NJ. B. Bartlett drove one
team and j. B. Singleton the other. Flags
were out in profusion, the biggest flag in
town being used to drape the railing OF the
Jackson House balcony. Good humor
prevailed during the day. Men who
thought themselves victorious and men
who thought themselves beaten drank
together, and all we're willing to accept
the result and hurrah for the President as,
after election, the President of all men
and all parties alike. 1t was wild day
for the Democrats, though, and they made
the most of it in yelling, hurrahing, and,
generally. painting the town red" May
