How the News Was Received.

Tuesday night, large crowd gather
ed at the court room to hear the cleo
tion news, purse of $50 having been
made up to pay for the dispatches. One
dispatch stated the New York World
claimed the State for Cleveland by Co.,
900. The cheering upon the reading
of this dispatch was deafening. I'M
mediately another dispatch was read
stating that another New York paper
claimed the State for Blaine by 10000.
Every Republican yelled to the highest
pitch. A dispatch announcing that
New York City had given $4,000 for
for Cleveland brought forth immense
cheering from both Republicans and
DemOcrals-the Democrats thinking
that that would give them the State,
while the Republicans felt that the city
must do better than that for Cleveland
or the State would surely go for Blaine.
The spectacle of both Republicans and
Democrats waving their hats and
cheering was amusing. We Greenback-
ers had nothing to enthuse us at that
hour and so could look on with perfect
composure. Later in the night the dis
patches indicated the result in New
York as doubtful and most all cheering
ceased.
All day yesterday, the presidential
result hung in doubt-in fact we could
get no news from any State, not even
from Missouri. A dispatch from DR..
Cadle, at st. Louis, date Nov. 5, 1880 p.
NJ. stated that Cleveland had New
York, Indiana, New Jersey, Connecti'
cut with Wisconsin in doubt. Last
night a crowd again assembled at the
court room, to receive the news. The
kilograms indicated that Blaine had
carried New York and therefore was
elected. This news, which had prob
ably been received by private telegram
earlier in the evening, set them thai
had bets up on New York going Demo
cratic to "hedging" and bets of 5000 tc
$50 were offered that Blaine would car
ry that State. To-day the result will
probably be definitely ascertained ant
anxiety will be at an end.
