Hurrah for Cleveland! How are cur

election in this precinct passed off
quietly. A good sum was raised at Ft,

and civilians all contributing gener-
ously, A comfortable room was fitted
up in the old Delaney building and

at the hotel, served nice lunch which
the few Republicans stood sadly in need
Of as by that time the news was

m. Denver said That's all for tonight"
80 nothing else to do but try and con-
sole the down cast.
Mr.. Delaney, staunch Republican,
contemplated taking in San Francisco

news came that that city had gone Dem
