Crowds Around the Bulletin Boards
Needless of Storm.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. Z, II p M-This city
has been in ferment since early morning
Long before the hour for the RESUMPTION of
bulletins, a large crowd gathered around
the Journal office, calling, "Returns, re-
turns" and clamoring to know the latest
from New York and Indiana. The Jour
nal and Daily Nelos issued 10
o'clock extra editions. All day
long crowds skirted the Journal building,
while on Washington street in front OF the
Ne,os Office the police could not keep the
way open, and for time traffic was
blockaded. As the bulletins were posted
showing that Harrison steadily gained in
Indiana, or at least maintained his first
gains, the crowd cheered and yelled for
long time. The returns were being re-
ceived at several other places in the city,
and the interest seemed almost as great as
last night.
BRAvING A DRIzzLE.
About 4 o'clock drizzling, penetrating
rain set in. notwithstanding this, as dark
ness came on, the crowd began to grow
around the Journal premises, standing
patiently in the rain and mud, shelf
cred by several hundred umbrellas. As
the stereopticon illuminated the last returns
from New York city and Kings county,
CONFIRMING the previous figures, the crowd
grew boisterous and hilarious, singing and
cheering, and apparently needless Of the
drizzling rain. In the corridors of the New
Denison hotel the scenes Of last night are
being repeated upon a moderated scale.
oUTBURsrs OF CHEERS.
Every time some newcomer brings good
tidings there Is an outburst Of applause aud
cheers, and with singing and brief i'm
promptu speeches by some overhowing en-
thusiasts, they are managing to have good
time In spite of the weather, which forbids
street demonstrations. At the Bates and
Grand hotels large crowds are congre-
gated, but no demonstrations are in
progress Thousands of kilograms were
received to-day by citizens and newspaper
people from distant friends, appealing for
information as to how Indiana had gone

SAN Francisco, Nov. Z, 2 p. M.-The
Chronicle, rep, claims the election of four
republican congressman in the interior dis
tricts as follows: In the First and Second
districts. Thompson and Biggs, dems., and
present incu:nbents, have been defeated by
Dekoven and Eagan, reps, and McKenna
and Vandever, reps, have been reelected
in the Third and Sixth districts. The re-
turns from the Fourth district are meager,
and are no indication as to whether
or not Morrow, rep, has been reelected
The returns from the Fifth district are also
meager and no conclusions can be based
upon them.
VICTORY LOOMING UP.
SAN Francisco, Nov. 7, 6P. M-The re-
turns throughout California are coming in
very slowly, and as there are no complete
city or county returns, no basis Of compari-
son with the vote of 1884 is possible. The
republican and democratic state central
committees both claim the state, the former
by from 1000 to 9.000 while the latter
claim to have majority Of 1900 to 5000
The city of San Francisco has been carried
by the democrats.
The Eueni1.g Post, rep, says Cleveland's
majority in the city will be 1000, while the
democrats claim 5000 to 1900, and that the
republicans will not come to the city with
sufficient vote to overcome this. The
entire democratic city ticket is elected in
San Francisco.

Mrs. CIeveland's Double.

Mrs. Cleveland has her double in
Washington. The lady is Miss Mullen.
She is employed in one of the depart
ments, and the joke of the resemblance
is that Miss Mullen has been innocent
of it until quite recently. You know
that the Marine Band plays every Sat-
urday afternoon in the rear of the
White House. On these occasions the
grounds are crowded with visitors, and
these OF the middle classes of WASH
ington society. i believe it is not the
proper social caper for the elite to at
tend these concerts. Soon after the
marriage OF Mr.. Cleveland the concerts
seemed to grow in popularity. A better
class of Washington society attended
them than had been wont. Then it
began to be whispered that it was all
on account OF Mrs. Cleveland's pres
ence at them. This, of course, in
creased the attendance, and then it was
discovered that Miss Mullen, who went
to the concerts with great regularity,
had been mistaken for Mrs. Cleveland.
1t is said that Miss Mullen has not lost
her senses on account of the resem-
blance. Washington Cor. Chicago

THE JUNIORS RIGHT.

How tho Youngest Born Is Always Fa-
vored In song and Story.
The wide range of junior-right is one
of the most remarkable discoveries of
recent anthropological science. The
younger son inherited to the exclusion
of all other collaterals. Fairy lore has
seized upon this idea with avidity.
Fairy favorites are, of course, always
young and beautiful. Cinderella is the
type of these fairy favorites. She is
the youngest of the three sisters. The
two elder girls are old and ugly, she is
young and beautiful. They are cross
and badly disposed, she is sweet-tem-
pered and gentle. The fairy god
mother has no interest in the fortunes
of the two elders. her cares are excfu-
sively served for Cinderella OF course,
the Prince falls in love with her, for
how should the glass slipper fit any
other than the fairy favoriteP In the
"Arabian Nights" story of the Three
Sisters" it was again the youngest
whom the Sultan overheard express
ing an ambition to become the EN-
peror's queen-consort. The eldest sis
ter had been content with the baker,
the second with the cook, and when
the youngest carries off the matri-
monial prize, the others use their ut
most endeavors TO make her feel the
effects OF their jealousy and malice.
With beauty and tn" beast again, it is
the youngest OF the merchants daugh-
ters that plays the title role. But it is
surely needless 10 multiply instances.
Whenever deus co machina is needed
to marvelously relieve difficulty, to
do a deed of daring, or in any way to
retrieve the family fortunes. it is the
youngest child, male or female, that
will probably nroye itself the hero
