This has been a day Of unparalleled
| excitement. surprising even the expert
ence following the election of 1876. Be-
fore midnight last night the streets were
cleared of the enthusiastic republicans
who had taken the town in the belief that
Blaine and Logan had been elected. A
different phase was put upon affairs anc
upon the receipt OF the report that the
| New York Tribune had conceded the
state to Cleveland, which was postec
upou the bulletin boards, the democrats
appeared in great numbers, their hat
decorated with rOostCrs and other device!
carving hrooms and headed by n han(
paraded through the principal street
raising deaiening din with fish horns
They called on Nh Hendricks, filling tn
spacious yard and street IN front OF hi
residence and when he appeared til
noise was simply terrific. Finally some
thing like order was restored and Mr.
Hendricks made a speech. During tn
afternoon crowd headed by VIM. /
English, congressman from this district
attempted TO carry black banner of th
; "AutQCrats" into the postotflce building
They were met in the lobby by a republi
, can crowd and 8 scuffle that might hav
l had serious consequences en~ued. Eng
lish was knocked or pushed down by
Il negro and somewhat bruised. The Au
> tocrat's banner was seized. the democra
s. were hustled out of the building an
t the banner torn into shreds to
Il worn as badges by the republican
q No one was hurt in the rush, but rumt
II spread to the outskirts of the city that
riot was in progress. Tonight the sire
Il in front Of the post office is filled with
3 ; wild howling mob of men who seize upt
1 every favorable report to yell themselv
hoarse. A similar crowd fills the sire
), square distant in front of the democrat
u headquarters where similar demonstr;
a ton is in progress. Hendricks had
Il number of callers during the day and W
u in receipt of congratulatory messag
le from all over the country. At vario
,e times Mr.. Hendricks reiterated his OPT
ion that the Western Union Telegral
company and Associated Press were co
~ spring to damage him personal
>: g throughout by falsely reporting that t
u state had gone for Blaine and Loga
"a "a The question of polygamy in Utah W
le discussed Hendricks declined to enI
!. IL into detail of his opinions, but intin
:" dated that the democracy had very pr
e nounced views and would develope
u u strong policy in its treatment of this eV
Is Enthusiastic democrats marched arou
~ to Hendricks again this evening and Z
; manded speech but he said to them Il
l. in due season it will be in order to ce
4. 4. brate this victory of which all feel so "
y assured but brief delay in order to mf
y assurance doubly sure would be wise.
