were consolidated, and behind them came
an endless mob of hornbowers whose OBJ
1ect was to make as much noise as possi-
ble. Many carried strings of sleigh bells;
Others ha6 hand bells and devils drums
and horse 6ddles, and their. success was
unquestioned. They marched. through
the city for two hours and at midnight
goodly number of them are still on the
streets.
The continuous din of the past four days
has grown monotonous to downtown resi-
dents, and the regular boarders at the
hotels are leaving to escape the afiiiction.
All this time, General Harrison sits qui.
etly in his library reading the news of the
day and chatting with occasional friends
who call Among his callers to-day were
General Lew Wallace, Congressman Hen
deraon, Patrick Barry, Chicago; also John
Dewey. president, Jos. r. Ryan, irst vice

New YORK, Nov. S.-The campaign 10
at last ended in this city, and things are
fast settling down to their normal condi-
tion. The various campaign committees
have closed up their headquarters with
the exception Of the republican and demo-
cratic national executive committees, and
they will probably be abandoned to-day.
The New York democratic committee now
coucede for the first time the election of
Harrison. Il makes this statement:
"When the national democrats claimed
the state of New York Tuesday evening
by 10000 to $4,000 majority the figures Of
the returns then received fully justified
the estimate. The reports from New York
city and large communities in the interior
of the state showed democratic gains, and
the first reports from Brooklyn were to the
effect that the majority there was 10000.
The telegraph wires were very much
crowded. and the transmission of the COM
mittees' bulletins were considerably de.
layed. There is evidently misapprehen.
sion in some parts of the West as to the
time of the dispatch sent" This particu.
lar dispatch referred to was the one re-
ceived in the west from the democratic
committee claiming New York by 10000
to 1900 majority. When the dispatch
arrived there it was wholly at variance
with the returns from this state. The
democratic committee say it was not in.
tended TO deceive any one, and that at the
hour it was written the bulletins of some
OF the New York papers we're giving the
state to Cleveland by $4,000 plurality.
. ALBANY, Nov. 8.-Hill was serenaded
tonight at the executive mansion and In
his address to the thousands Of persons on
the lawn and terraces he said: "Our sue
cess in the gubernatorial contest is marred,
however, by the shadow of national disas.
ter. In common with every democrat
deeply regret the defeat of President
in the state and | think he de-
served better at the hands of the people of
this county. Honest, brave and coura geous
he gallantly led his party in the great con-
test for tariff reform, and suffers defeat
owing to false clamor, unjust prejudices,
unfair representations and the gigantic eff
forts of all the monopolists Of the country.
He did his duty, as he understood it,
regardless of political considerations
and be should be sustained by the tax
payers. co nsumers and masses of the peo-
Pile whose true interest he desired to sub
serve and whose rights he unsuccessfully
endeavored to maintain. It is not neces-
sary or profitable to inquire whether the
issue which he so boldly made, If it were
not more wise to have presented iteaylier
Or postponed it to later period. 1t is
sufficient to say that as the trusted leader
,arefull consideration of the whole subject,
ne deemed that the best and truest inter-
est of the country required that the issue
should be made at this time, and with
that patriotic and deliberate conclusion,
when once reached, there should have been
prompt acquiesence."
