conversation over the river yesterday.
Captain Danford, who all through the
campaign staked his reputation on l,OOO

OF many high compliments No matter
how much the local discussions were
pressed upon him. the captain
maintained that nothing could pre-
vent the people from giving
voice to their pent up feel
ings through the ballot box. The re-
suit shows that he had gauged the pub
lie pulse correctly. Colonel Poorman
was also sanguine, but never got his
figures that high. The colonel was n

cause he regarded it as being on his ac-
count, but it came i'll such a way that
he is enjoying the result OF the election

HOW IT WAS.
Yesterday INrELLIGENcER reporters
attempted to get expressions rs to the
cause of tho result from Democrats in
all the walks oil life, but the members
OF the party who had anything to say
were scarce. Some expressions are
given below:
One well known Democrat said:
"Therc was no election. The Republi-
cars over in OHIO held their primaries
aud nominated Mckinley for President
We will vote next year."
Judge George Il. Boyd-"The natural
course OF events. l fully expected it,
and suppose everybody did"
Denis 0'Kectie-"O don't ask mo.
There was 10 politics in it; it was
visitation OF providence"
John Waton-"I don't explain it. l
am Democrat. i am saving wood"
Assistant City Clerk Fee-"rhe hard
times were the main cause, but there
were great many things entered into
it."
Herman Bentz-"I can't explain it."
CITY Clerk Thoner-"It didn't snow
the next day, as it did last fall"
Eugene q. Hankc-"Thc dilatory con-
duct Of the senate on the silver bill aud
Cleyeland's delay in dealing out offices
were the main things"
Charles Bosley-"What ipducement
was there Tor Democrats 10 vote? Here
a year after a Democratic administers
ton goes in Republican Publication
parade stops mt the postoIlice and sere-
nades the Republican force. That is
enough to make Democrat lukewarm."
Judge l. S. Jordan shook his head.
Peter Dolaplain-"How do you ex
plain lt?"
General Manager Jolly. OF the street
railway-"I see by tho INTELLIGENcER
that you have been having sort OF Re-
publican election over the country.
Haven't had time to look at our Demo

prises, did not look very sad.
