The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1888-11-08

j5ct OF interest, and no matter from
whence inqulrers received news" they
invariably applied at this Office for
confirmation. Towards II O'Clock,
however, there came change;
Republicans were seen to hang
their lower lips, while the Democrats
assumed a more erect gait, and oc-
casionally allowed a smile to flicker
across their countenances. Beyond al
doubt, however,
THE BIGGEST SENSATION OF THE DAY
was the receipt by THE HERALD OF the
following special dispatch:
NEW YORK, November 7, 1SSs.-The Dem
ocratic majority below Harlem bridge is
70, 600, which gives Mr.. Cleveland tee State
by from 5000 to 5000 New York. Indiana,
and Connecticut are safe for the Democrats
JOHN w. Young.
Ten minutes afterwards, the dispatch
had been builetined in half dozen
places around town, and had drawn
large crowds wherever it appeared.
Especially did it create a riot near the
bulletins of our esteemed morning con-
temporary, where
HUNGRY HORDE
of Republicans were swallowing with
the keenest relish possible such crumbs
Of comfort as were put before
them. There was rUmor that
the unfortunate Individual who had
ventured into the crowd narrowly es-
Gaping slugging; but this we are not
prepared to verify. A hubbub followed,
however, and there were many who de-
nounced the dispatch as a forgery. 1t
is needless to say that these were Re-
publicans. That even these, however,
were badly shaken by the'dispatch was
evident from the stampede that fol-
lowed in the direction of The HERALD
bulletin board, and there they discov-
ered its genuineness. For hours after
ards the message was the talk of the
town, and probably had more to DO with
some desperate hedging resorted to by
republicans than any other cause.
ITw WAS NO SUCH THING.
The rumors aioat were many and
various and the private dispatch racket
was worked for all it was worth, Among
others was a rumor to the effect that
Marshal Dyer had wired Governor
West that New York had gone for Har-
ris N beyond doubt. Later In the day,
u HERALD reporter found Governor
West in the lobby of the Walker House.
TO The newspaper man. the governor
said he had received no such dispatch
in fact had heard nothing from the
marshal, and was at loss to know how
such report could have started.
ANOTHER RUMoR
was to the effect that Judge Powers had
received advIces similar to those con-
veyed to THE HERALD by Mr. Young,
hut the judge was not to be seen in the
giddy throng. Later on it was asserted
that Colonel Brice had wired someone
here that Cleveland would reach
Harlem Bridge with $4,000 majority,
and that the State vas safe BY al least
5000. And thus it went.
GENERAL NOTES.
THE HERALD's bulletin board was
surrounded all day long with an eager
crowd.
JUDGE WILLIAMS, of the Utah Com
mission, says that if the election had
taken place a month ago Cleveland
would have walked in without any
trouble.
WHERE did the Tribune get all it's
bulletins?" was q common question.
They have machine in the Office for
manufacturing them," was the COM
mon reply.
The HERALD was i'll great demand
yesterday. The three big editions were
rapidly exhausted by the small army
of neWsboys who were here. there and
everywhere. 1t is long since the little
fellows had such a picnic.
COMMISSIONERS THOMAS was one of the
most enthusiastic Republicans met
yesterday. Why" said he, there can
be no doubt but that Harrison is
elected. See how the majorit;es for
him have been steadily piling up"
EVERY REPUBLICAN seen yesterday
was confident that Cleveland mad been
defeated, but there was no little merri-
ment at the expense of the Tribune
youth who had endeavored TO make
such showing yesterday morning.
E. B. CRITCHLow, who, it will be re-
membered, was one of the principal
movers in the recen, attempt to Or
game epublican Club in this city,
was asked yesterday What had become
of the organization. "Oh, it will be
resurrected," he said, lin time to
celebrate the election of Harrison and
Morton"

CLARENCE HALL said yesterday:
They'll have hill of time In Ken

Democratic victory" This remark was
made when nearly all the Democrats
