! now. =,
There was more democratic cheering, and
the crowd was as large in front OF the
| MORNING NEWS building last night, as on
the night of the election. The Indiana bull
! letins were enthusiastically cheered and
the news from California SET the crowd
wild and it cheered itself hoarse Thought
! full democrats, however, had their pencils
| figuring and found that with Indiana, Call
fornia, New Jersey, Connecticut and the
South. Cleveland would still be ten short.
CHEERING THE RETURNS.
When the Chicago bulletin came in few
minutes later showing that Cleveland mad
carried the city by about d, POO, the crowd
burst into loud and continued cheering.
Blaine had carried Cook county by 5000,
and there was an apparent gain OF l0,OOO
"The lucky man will get the other ten votes
yet, said an excited democrat, and -four,
four, four years MORE" was echoed in
chorus by the people.
A fight at Whitaker and Bay street lane
seemed to vary the monotony While the
crowd waited for the bulletins, but the den
sity of the throng did not give the combat
ants fighting room and they were soon
surged apart, without serious injury 10 any
one. The Minnesota bulletin was cheered
longer and louder than anypther during the
evening. II announced but 1000 plurality
for Harrison, which if correct was u loss of
over 81 900. This was followed by portraits
of the democratic presidential candidates.
THURMAN's PICTURE APPLAUDED.
1t was noticeable that Thurman's picture
was more literally appiauded, both on
Tuesday and Wednesday nights, than that
of Cleveland. The gains were all in the
west and on the Pacific slope, and the "OId
Roman was credited with lt-Cleve-
land had not held bis own in the east. So

bandana and snuff box as accompani-
ments 10 make the people feel that the "old
man" was present.
THE LATE BULLETINS.
At11:3O o'clock the last MORNING NEWS
bulletin; "Good night; tor further particu-
lars see morning paper" dispersed the good
natured crowd, which cheered for Cleve-
land as it moved out Whitaker street, If
ANYTHING a larger number of persons than
had blocked the street the night previous.
At j. J. Sullivan's the returns were
thrown out upon canvas half hour later,
aud thither the greater part of the crowd
MORNING NEWS calcium light The bnlle-
tin from New York that Har-
rison had carried the state by
II, 191 operated like dynamite
cartridge thr 1wn into a crowd, and although
the band struck up a lively air, it did not
check the stampede. The democrats had
enough Music may have charms, but here
was an instance where it had lost its mag
netism. The Dead March in Saul would
have been more in consonance with the
spirit of the crowd.
THE CROWD HAD ENOUGH.
At midnight the good night" was given
at Sullivans, but there were very few to see
it. 1.-THE MORNING News didn't do me
justice Wednesday morning" said Mr.. Sui
livan. at is true we were delayed
ten minutes by the malevolence
of some one who punctured the
hydrogen bag of our calcium light
Tuesday night, but we repaired the mischief
and displayed the bulletins until o'clock
Wednesday morning.
The police were instructed to arrest
every body that ''hallowed" last night, but
the Jail and the barracks wouldn't have
held them if the order could have been en-
forced. There was only one arrest up TO
midnight, Edwin Fraser (colored), being so
drunk and boisterous that he was brought
in by the chief of the fire department to
sober up.
MR.. TESTERS ELECTION:
srasuiated Yesterday upon MS election.
The meager and very incomplete returns
that have been received from the counties
in the First congressional district do not
indicate what Mr.. Testers majority
is. The six counties which have been
heard from give him majority
over Snelson of over $500. The vote of
the entire district will probably not be re-
ceived before tomorrow. Chatham county
gave him handsome majority, and so did
Appling.
