Most of the buildings we're illuminated
with Chinese lanterns. The noise OF
cannons, fire crackers and tin horns
| which continued unit, after 8 o'clock
! could be plainly heard as far out as
General Harrison's residence. The
| General and his family, except for
those distant echoes, are unconscious
of the stirring scenes IN the city. Ex-
cept for short walk yesterday and
this morning, General Harrison has
not left his residence since election day.
Just before dark trainlnad of enthusi-
astic men came in from Danville. They
were mostly members of the First
Lincoln League organized in the State,
with flags flying, men pushing, singing
and shouting,
DRUMS, TINHoRNs, ASS BANDS AND
CAhN-N,
all uniting to make an indescribable
noise as Harrison's residence was
reached. As the crowds came into the
yard, General Harrison ventured to
look out of the south bay window. He
was seen imme diately, and the crowd
broke for the window. By this time
the spokesman of the delegation, Hon.
John J. Hall, had been ushered into
the library. He said ali they wanted
was to render their congratulations
aud no speech would be asked, and the
General accompanied him to the front
steps. The people, after four years Of
search,
HAD FOUND THE KEYSTONE
whose loss had threatened the destruc-
ton of the whole government, and now
the arch is perfect and the people are
saved. General Harrison shook hands
with those who insisted, and then babe
them pleasant good night" and re-
tired.
General Harrison began to receive
congratulatory kilograms from New
York and the east as early as 8 O'Clock
on election night, when the first meagre
returns indicated his probable election.
From that moment to the present writ
ing kilograms and letters of consratu-
lation have poured in upon him from
every city in the Union. His library
table is piled with hundreds of these
kilograms, there being fully 5000. So
long as there was
A SHADOW OF A DOUBT
resting upon the result of the election,
General Hcrrison was not disposed to
permit the publication of any congratu.
