The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1892-11-11
HAPPIER ALL TIE TIME.

| Another Day OF Good Feeling Over the
Great Victory.
The political excitement gave no evidence
Of subsiding yesterday. The interest was
almost equal to that of the two preceding
| days. The announcement in the MORNING
| NEWS that Ohio had gone democratic by a
safe plurality was an unexpected surprise
and the bulletin boards were sought for con-
firmation by later returns.
Wisconsin, which also went into
the Cleveland side of the table,
was known to be close but
Ohio had all along been conceded to the re-
publicans. The news from Indiana was
| still eagerly inquired for yesterday, and as
the returns still maintained the report Of
the small democratic majority, the oonvic-
| tion grew that Indiana was safe.
The landslide was 80 huge and unexpected
that it excited democratic merriment yes
terday.
MAI. RYALs' PROPOSITION.
Maj Ryals made a novel proposition to
| Collector Tom johnson, who is one of the
most popular republicans in the city
I'M tell you what let's do, Tom" he said
Lets telegraph Harrison aud Weaver to
| just make this thing unanimous. It's SO near
unanimous now That it would be pity to
have the vote split up at all. just ask Har-
risen to make it unanimous for oncen
The Savannah republicans had no expla-
nation TO make yesterday OF the unexpected
landslide. Most of them seemed 10 think it
was for the reason given by Senator Quay,
lack OF votes. The opinion was generally
expressed among democrats that the Repub-
lican party will never recover from shis de-
feat.
The Issue was sQuarely made between the
two parties and the battle was fought on
principle. The republican defeat was over
| whelmiug and they have nothing further
to hope for. The Peoples party, it is
prophesied by many, will take its place four
years hence.
GEN. WEAvER's PROPHECY.
1t will be remembered that whom Gen.
Weaver spoke at Waycross no predicted
the election Of Cleveland and the defeat OF
Harrison, but said that tie third party
would hold the balance of power.
The latter. however, is not yet true.
An active third partyite said yesterday
that If the Weaver electors had held the
balance Of power in tho electoral college
they would never have allowed the election
10 go into congress. They would have
made deal either with the republicans
or the democrats and the result would
have been Harrison and Fields or Cleveland
and Fields, according to which was willing
to make the best deal. He seemed 60 prefer

Fully S25, 0OO changed hands in Savannah
on the result of the election In cash. besides
the numerous hats and other articles of
wearing apparel.
SOME WHO BET AND LOST.
Collector johnson LOST 81, 500. Another
prominent republican is said TO have lost
| $500. A well-known democrat lost $500 on
Harrison. and there are a good number of
men whose gains and losses amounted
to 500 one way or the other. Every alter.
nate man at least had a bet Of some kind on
the election. Losses we're being paid right
| along yesterday.
There were not many bets Of a peculiar
| or ridiculous character made in Savannah.
| but there were few. A staid- looking old
citizen was seen walking down the center of
Bull street yesterday morning, studiously
going around the squares instead Of taking
the sidewalks across. IL was said that he
had agreed to walk down the middle OF
Bull street from Bay street
to the park If Harrison was
defeated and that he was paying his bet.
WHEELED TO THE PARK AND BACK.
The most novel bet settled yesterday was
between r. l.. Parks and H. C. Cooper.
both employees Of the Southern Express
Company. Parks agreed with Cooper that
il Cleveland was elected he would ride
Cooper in wheelbarrow from the
Southern Express Company's office cut Bull
street TO tue park and Cooper agreeing 20
perform the same service by PARKS II Harri-
son was elected. Parks acknowledged his
defeat yesterday and the ride began from
the express Office at o'clock. Cooper was
seated in wheelbarrow with
a buggy cushion for seat and wearing a
big Cleveland badge. A large crowd OF
spectators gathered in front OF the Office to
see them off.
Parks performed his part of the contract
religiously and gave Cooper a good ride
The latter smoked a cigarette aud smilingly
saluted his friends as he rode down the
street.
