At Democratic Headquarters.

Everything was quiet at the Bates House last
night, all the interest of that neighoorhood
being concentrated at Dalton's, where the re-
turns were being received. large crowd
had assembled at that point, and
frequent cheers went MP as the
news came in. At the Democratic State head
quarters there was not very much enthusiasm
at any time. great many kilograms were
ceived by parties the inside room. where
none bur few were admitted. Every few min
utes the white head of Judge Jordan would APP
pear at the door. and he would read an
encouraging bit OF news and the crowd won Id
cheer. News was given out pretty frequently
early in the evening, but soon began TO be sus-
picously scarce, while the stream OF telegraph
boys continued TO 90 into the inner ofhee.
About 10 o'clock telegram came
that the New YORK Sun claimed
that State for Cleveland by 1920, and the
cheering Was loud and continuous. Five min
utss afterward telegram from Chairman Brice
was not so long or so loud. IL was
more than fifteen minutes before any
more news WAS given out, but
the streams of private kilograms continued 10
90 into the inside Office. There is too much
news going in and not enough coming out
to suit me- said DR.. Harrison, the president OF
the benevolent boards, sadly, 'and don't like it;
1t looks suspieousp The faces Of all but the most
sangune grew very long.
At 1890 o'clock Judge Jordan came out and
read q telegram that the Republicans were
claiming Connections By 5000 aSd the
Democrats claiming II By l,400 From

Connecticut has gone Republican, said the
Judge, and he seemed to CUP down Sob"

''Ws've still cot New York havns We Judgsl'
some one inquired.
'we think so, and hope So" he answered, but
there was not very much encouragement In his
voice. and his assertion did not bring forth any
cheering.
IF We lose Connecticut, what have we got to
carry to win" some one asked him.
"We must have Indiana" he answered, "and
we have not yet heard anything from this State"
Judge" some one in the back part Of the
room exclaimed, in a tone of agony. .'eo back in
your office and carry Indiana, for Gods sake
Go quick Drops Of perspirs.!on stood upon
every forehead in the room.
Jim bowling slipped into the inner
and he raised row that diverted attention from
the main issue for few minutes, but at III
o'clock sadder and more solemn-looking crowd
than Mr.. Jewett and his attaches and crowd
were never seen at q funeral
From III o'clock until II matters became more
and more discouragine. At the latter hour,
Chairman Jewett, and Judge Jordan, and sever
al others from the inner sanctuary, slipped out
to get a lunch, and they did not return. and
some of the crowd assem- bled were not disposed
TO look upon this action Of the chairman
as very favorable omen. In one or two in
stances there were mutterings against Jewett,
and Sheern, and Brice, and all connected with
the Democratic management THE trouble with
our SIDE said one, is that We have
had too many wooden heads running things.
The idea of putting up that man Brice to buck
against man like Quay. Why. Quay can give
him cards and spades and beat him every time"
at 1890 the crowd disposed 20 be
talkatve and many Of them were asleep At
intervals the door to the inner room would
open and a weak-voiced young man would read
telegram, and those that gave
ray of Democratic light would
partially galvanize the crowd into lfe but it
would soon sink back into its original state of
sulen melancholy. Luther Benson went home
at l o'clock requesting that if things should
change for the better that they would
send him word. few minutes later Judge
Fritz came out of the inner room and made
Q. straight shoot for the front door, He was
qnck enough however, for anxious
Democrat clutched his coat-tail like q
drowning man grabbing at q straw" Now, look
here, Judge" said he, tell just how it is.
You fellows in there have not been doing the
square thing by us in the way Of news, and we
want to know the straight of it, right now"
"Well, boys" replied the Judge, things don't
LOOK very favorable. In fact they look d-n
bad, and that's the fact. OF don't
give up anything, but its my private
opinion that we are gone, hide, horns and
everything else" and hs tore himself away aud
went home.
At l:30 it was announced that no more bullet
ins would be received. and the little band OF the
faithful who had remained until that time left
for their homes sadder if not wiser men. Five
minutes later the Democratic headquarters Of
1883 We're dark and deserted.

At General Harrison,s Home.

General Harrison received the returns at his
residence. where q private wire, bringing the
bulletins, ran into the library. and it was in
this room that the General, with & few friends
and neighbors passed nearly the entire night.
The long, oval writing table had been
cleared, and around is sat the
little party. At the center of the
table one side sat General Harrison, while
at the end was his son Russell, and at the other
sat his law partner John b. Elan. The other
gentlemen present we're W. II. II. Miller, an-
other law partner. the secretary to the General,
Ex-Governor Porter, Judge Sno. Scott of this
city, brother OF Mrs. Harrison. Captain Horace
Mckay. a near neiehbor, Col. Willard. and BENZ.
Walcott. of Utica, n. Y. As the bulletins from
New York ana other States were received they
would be read aloud, sometimes by the General,
frequently by Mr.. Elan or some of the
other gentlemen. Mr.. Russell Harrison
occupied himself in asserting the bulletins by
States.
General Harrison received a large number of
private kilograms from the national committee
aud from friends in Washington, San Francisco
aud many other points. OF course but few, IL
any, of these kilograms contained any positive
information as to results, but all were Of
a reassuring character. and not few
were congratuatory in their expressions.
The scene in the Generals library, while
memorable occasion to those present, was that
of a quiet gathering OF a few neighbors. The
General was cool and self possessed. During
the brief intervals between bulletins the con-
versation was general; representations and
calculations were freely considered and partici-
psted in by the General. who discussed
the returns and the outlook with q freedom
devoid of personal interests. In the psrlors
with Mrs. Harrison and her daughter, Mrs.
Mckee. were Mrs. Russell Harrison. Mrs. Mil
Ter, Mr.. and Mrs Edward McKee, Mrs. Willard,
Miss Strickle. and Mrs. r. NJ. G. Brown, the
daughter OF ex-senator Davis, Of West Virginia,
who is the guest of Mrs Harrison. At midnight
the little party separated, and about o'clock
General Harrison retired for the night, leaving
the library In the possession of his son and Mr..
Mckee and few friends who remained through
the night. receiving the early morning bulletins.

The report OF the committee OF the
Manchester Council IN relation to the
petition OF the Manchester Railway and
improvement Company, which will not
be considered until the next meeting oil
tue Council, is far from beng what the
company desire 1t should be. The Man
chester corporators say that II the priv
Ieges they ask for are granted the com
pany will build the cable road, which
they claim is far superior to any other
kind OF street railway. They do not de-
sire TO surrender the privileges already
secured from the Council, but one OF the
corporators said yesterday that they are
desirous of building a cable road. The
report TO the Council substantially says
that it is time to call halt in the matter
Of granting privileges to companies that
DO not proceed with some alacrity to
carry out the work expected Of them.
1t is quite probable that the report will
evoke some spirited discussion when 1t
comes up Tor consideration.

father of Rev. a. Binga, Jr., pastor of
the First Baptist church (colored), OF
