Plasss Where Information Of Election Re.
~. turns Can he Obtained Tonight
II any resident Of Washington goes to bed
this night without first being loaded with cleo
ton news the fault will be due either to extra
ordinary indifference or personal inability.
Preparations for receiving information are pro-
ceeding with an earnestness not heretofore
noticed even when the election was a presi-
dental affair. This access Of interest may be
duo to the fact that the independent voter and
the Australian ballot system have combined to
make elections more uncertain than they once
were. As the supreme local dissemination Of
news The STAR will do all that is possible to
make plain the results Of today's contests. The
regular edition will be supplemented by an ex-
tra-to be published shortly after O'Clock
which will contain the latest and most reliable
statistical and common-sonse Information from
all the main centers of political competition.
AT DEMOCRATIC HEADQUARTERS.
Then there will be much news given away
at 1888 E street. A busy man, coat off, this
morning fastened to the balcony Of that build
ing lengthy strip of cotton on which had boon
painted tho legend, 1.-The Central Democratic
Committee of the District of Columbia"
Around that banner-above, below, in 'front.'
behind-will gather the central committee and
its invited guests, the Columbia Democratic
Club and the jackson Democratic Association.
In the street, with its myriad eyes intent OIL a
stereopticon screen, will be q crowd of anxious
ones whose tendencies may be principally
democratic. special Western Union wire will
convey the messages to committee head
quarters.
Another special ". U. wire will :cnrry the
tidings-good, bad or indiferent-to the Mary
land Democratic Club, which has it's local
habitat near the corner Of Pennsylvania avo-
nue. and 18th street.
THE KNIGHTS OF RECIPROCITY.
At least one republican organization will use
a stereopticon tonight. The knights Of Reel
procity, whose stronghold is in Seligson's
Hall, corner Of Pennsylvania avenue, D and
18th streets, have their canvass out ready for
business. The news will come over a specinl
postal wire.
Clubmen who wear the winged arrow Of the
Columbia Athletics or who have the password
at tho Press Club will have the freshest in
formation over Western Union wires.
In front OF the office of the Post a stereop-
tcon screen is in position now and from about
clock until midnight bulletins will be dis
played for the benefit OF the waiting crowd.
Announcements will be made from the
stage at Harris Theater and at the Lyceum
Theater, special wires having been run in there.
More than the usual number of people will
be supplied with manifold copies Of the bull
letins that come to both telegraph companies
AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
President Harrison will, as has been a presi-
dental custom for some years past, receive tho
news at the White House. The Western Union
Company and the press associations will supply
him with all they know, and for this purpose II
special loop WAS put in this morning. The
White House always has direct communication
with the Western Union Office, but an extra
wire Is needed on such occasions because the
regular wire is fully occupied with special dis
patches from private sources. MIR. D. F. Mont
gomery and Mr.. Cox of the executive clerical
force will attend to the saunders at the Presi-
dents ends of the wires.
Secretary Blaine will also stay at home to get
the facts. He, too. has had special wire run
in. He needs a special. because the regular
wire will be busy with private messages.
Other members OF the cabinet who may be
in town tonight will be amply supplied with all
possible information On such occasions the
telegraph companies and news associations are
more than ordinarily courteuos.
