NEW YORK. Nov. 9.-Mr Cleveland did
not go to bed until 4:3O o'clock this morn
ing. He was the last to leave the telegraph
instrument that had brought the news of
his election into the study over private
wire. 1t was L lot only election returns that
kept him up so late. but host of congratu-
latory dispatches from friends in every
State. These messages began to come in
about midnight and continued up to the
time when the President-elect left his chair
beside the key and went into his bedroom.
At midnight, after all the ladies who had
been hearing the returns in company with
Mrs. Cleveland had gone, and only two or
three Of Mr. Cleveland's close friends re-
manned, an enthusiastic crowd began to
gather ontslde the house. At that hour, in
spite of Republican efforts to make the re-
suit appear doubtful, there was no question
that there had been a great Democratic
sweep all over the country, and the joyous
Democratic crowds in the streets uptown

Many wanted a glimpse of Mr. Cleve-

Mrs. Cleveland Greeted Heartily.
Behind the next President, just within

cheering became a tempest, and it was
some time be:ore Mr.. Cleveland could be
leard. He spoke only few words OF con-
Eratulation over tine big victory, and of
thanks TO the people who had cast their |
votes and the committee which had |
managed the campaign. The crowd then
dispersed with a cheer
Within the house Mr.. Cleveland and |
his friends from Democratic headquarters
had q great rejoicing. Mr.. Cleveland spoke
IN heartiest praise of the way in which the
campaign had been managed. The visitors
remained about 20 minutes.

noon. Ali the morning kilograms and
letters of congratulatioI hal been pouring
in, and his table contained a heap of COM
