STILL SIZZLING.
CHRIS OF SMOKE STILL RISING FROM TIE
DEMOCRATIC VICTORY.
Tbs Rsuublicans Not Yet Fully Recovered From
the ShOck-Thsy'rs Living, But That's all.
Scenes and Incidents Of That
Phenomenal Victory.

All the hat stores nave engageu eAtrd
clerks this week, so it is said.
The number of confidence men is only
half as large now as it was Tuesday
morning.
The oldest political inhabitant can
recollect nothing like the political storm
of Tuesday since the death Of the Wing
party in 1852.
AS a result Of the election, William
Coss, driver for Schenk, will go around
all to-day on the team dressed In
Mother Hubbard.
Iris said that a prominent Republican
out the pike discharged his colored man
because he would not vote the Repuollcsn
ticket. He did not vote at all.
Iris said that one of the letter carriers
told Democratic friend that they would
not care much about the slump" but that
they had been pinched for SO per monln
for the past four months
The alIusion to j. V. L. Rogers in
Yesterdays issue was not intended as a
reflection, or anything OF serious mo-
ment, but simply bit of pleasantly in
cident upon the great battle, and de-
serving only Of passing glance.
Mr.. S. 81. Egger received a telegram
from his brother at Pagosa Springs,
COL. who is only thirty-one years OF age,
stating that he was elected to the office
of county Judge. This is high honor be-
slowed on a young Monroe county,
Ohio, boy.
A prominent Republican, who has
more thar the average amount OF cour-
age, created some amusement on Mar
ket street as he walked along early yes
terday morning with a wide piece OF
ribbon pinned on his breast bearing the
words, I'm Not in 1t"
Three young urchins tried to ascer-
tain from a facetious individual about
IL o'clock election night some good
method of determining the final result.
Said the facetlous individuals: "Get a
brick and throw it up in the air-if the
brick stays up, Harrison's elected"
Two weeks ago City Clerk Thoner
predicted that Cleveland and Stevenson
would capture 800 OF the electoral votes,
and get Illinois and Ohio, and other
States. The actual result shows how
close the guess came. Tom certainly
deserves to pose as political prophet.
Reporters and other newspaper at
taches will now be compelled to come
down to the hard-pan of news, and they
merit the sympathy of the public. They
have been having merry time during
the past two months, and the sudden
transition will be very embarrassing for
a time.
A prominent manufacturer in this
city, a wel-known Republican, told a
REGISTER reporter on the quiet yester-
day, that If he had known as much
about the Democratic platform on cleo
ton day as he does now, he really be-
lieved he would have voted the Demo-
cratic ticket
Among the many congratulatory tele-
grams that Grover Cleveland, the Pres
ident-elect, received was one Of a hui
morOus nature from our neighbor Mr..
n. Kuhn, the ice dealer in Bridgeport,
which contained the following:
Hon. Grocer Cleveland, NeC York:
Won pot OF money on you God bless
you. NICHOLAS KUHN.
VIM. Winters, of Tenth street, had
to wheel A. Ii. McNichols last night in
a wheelbarrow from Tenth street to
the Belmont mill to pay a bet he lost on
Ohio. He feels sore now, but COM
pleted his job like little man. The
paying of the wager attracted large
crowd last night, and all got hilarious.
Certain Democratic ladies Of the
South Side would like for the parade to
60 up Market, down Main to Four
teenth, then down Market to TWEEN
tenth, and from there to Chapline, and
down that street, instead Of up that
street on the return, as many are then
likely to disband. They do not feel so
much like decorating unless the parade
takes this route.
At two o'clock this afternoon DR..
Heath, a Republican, started to wheel
Mr.. McHenry, q Democrat; to Wheeling
and return in a wheelbarrow, in pay
ment OF an election bet. The Doctor
also agreed to buy a drink for his Dem
ocratic friend at every saloon on the
route. 1t is safe to bet that il the wag-
err is carried out the parties concerned
won't know as much as the Wheebar-
row when they return.-Belldire Trib-
u1le.
Among the novel bets on the result of
the Presidential election, one made by
six students Of Washington and Jeffer-
son College is hard to discount The
bettors were three Republicans and
three Democrats. The terms Of the
wager were that the losers were to stand
In a ring six feet In diameter, and the
winners, from q distance of forty feet,
be allowed TO throw one dozen eggs at
them, the unlucky ones not being al
lowed to dodge. The bet also provided
that the losers shall furnish the eggs.
An amusing incident occurred in the
contest for School Commissioner in Clay
district, in which the candidates were
Victor Rosenberg and Prof. John NJ.
Birch. During the day a prominent
merchant on North Main street, not
knowing that Mr.. Birch was running
for the Office, himself, CHANGED to meet
him as he walked along, and immedi-
ately importuned him to vote for Mr..
Rosenberg, dilating at considerable
length upon the matter. Nov, the
truth is" said Mr.. Birch, II have prom
ised to vote for another man." The
merchant continued to argue the mat
ter, when Mr.. Birch continued, "And
the other man is standing right here
before you" The merchant wilted.
Ali during the campaign Mr.. w. 3.
Humes, proprietor OF the billiard hall at
the corner of Market and Twelfth
streets, has been very kind in allowing
his lady friends to occupy the windows,
as the view was slightly out upon the
square during political parades. As the
campaign nesred the end the girls con-
