And Grover Cleveland Isl
Elected President Of
the United States.
A GREAT LANDSLIDE OF PUBLIC OPINION
Indiana and Illinois Democratic
and Wisconsin Shaken.
VERDICT FOR CLEVELAND And TARIFF REFORlI
And the Tide is Now Sweeping All Over This
Great Country.
A GRAND AND GLORIOUS VICTORY IN DELAWARE
The Hosts Of Hggnssm Routed From the Blue Rocks Of
BrandyWine TO the Sands Of Sussex
THERE WERE VOTERS WHO COULD NOT Be BOUGHT
Money Flowed Like Water in Kent and Sussex and Though
the Result Was Close the Margin is Enough to Save
the County-Kent Was Also Overwhelmed With


its hopes and fears, found expression in
the biggest volumes of thousand voiced
acclaim, as bulletin after bulletin, an-
nouncing the news was placed on the
large boards in front of the building.
For six consecutive hours the crowd
did not bulge from its position.
There was tremendous enthusiasm
over the news OF victory from the out
side states, but what kept the big throng
packed in an almost indissolublc mass
was the feverish excitement over the
news from the city wards.
AS the figures came in slowly from
each district gradually indicating Dem
ocratic gains, oven in Republican wards,
the excitement in front of the EVERY
EVENING was simply Undesirable.
Men could not restrain their feelings.
At best, to meet the excessive Republic
can claims throughout the city an even
result was looked for. But when
hitherto strong Republican districts
commenced, one after the other, show
ing decreased maiorities over those of
two years ago, the Democratic masses
broke out in a jubilation of shouting,
| ttn-horn blowing, and general jubila-
| ton that did not close till n. m.
Never before in the history OF journal
ism in this State was there witnessed
such sight as the enthusiastic thou
/, sands that stretched in vast sea of
heads from, at one moment, the centre
Of Market street to beyond the west side
of Shipley.
| During almost the whole of the night
and until an early hour this morning it
was impossible to get through the block
AT times with the tremendous pressure
that drove and jainmed the throng
against the front of the Office building
it was almost as much as ones life was
worth to attempt to reach the office doors.
But the big crowd was good tenn
pered one. All took the crowding and
pressure in good humor. No one was
hurt and all that each one of the thou
sands needed was an opportunity to see
the big white bulletin boards and the
messages as they appeared That was
heaven itself on Presidential election
night.
The notable feature of last night and
also of yesterday afternoon was the
quietness that rcigned throughout the
city.
1t looks as If the Australian ballot
system is the thing suited above all fol
genuine Democratic success in Will
mington.
1t was Just the fair test; no bull
doing, and fair opportunity for all tc
vote that the citizens of both parties
asked for, and the result was gloriou:
Democratic victory.
Wilmington's electoral army of deputy
marshals, police, special constables
deputy sheriffs, stood quiet all day il
mixed admiration and contempt for one
another. No one was called upon tt
act, and had there been no movement
towards swearing in several hundred
deputy marshals, nothing would hav'
been heard of the 1000 armed mel
watching Wilmington's elections.
An impromptu parade was made be
: tween and a. m. by members of thu
Y. M. ID. @. and tine First Voters Club
They marched in ranks of 10 or 10 deel
into the western wards of the city ant
then up Market street.
