last Tuesday evening was good deal like
an army division in suspense duringa dis.
tant battle. They could hear the booming
of cannon and the noise of musketry as the
ticker licked the result of the day
throughout the country, but the first news
sounded like the booming of the enemy
cannon and the route of the home army.
As the hours went on, however, the re-
ports grew better and more encouraging,
until along towards midnight there was
strong confirmation of Harrisons election.
Then the scene changed, and men who
were earlier respondent frightened up and
commenced to realize the full import Of
the glad tidings that Projections champion
was surely elected President.
The Democrats had early in the evening
celebrated their supposed victory, and as
despatch after despatch poured in along
