ELECTIONS AFTERMATH.

the Returns.
EXCITING SCENES IN NEW YORK.

A Night OF Tremendous Celebration and
Display---The Returns Indicate That
the Gold Forces Will Control Both
Branches of Congress After the 4th Of
March, 1S97--Election Day Incidents.
New YORK CRY Especial. New York
City turned out Election night. Such a
crowd az hos never before been known
in the city thronged every place where the
returns could be seen. City Hall Park was a
mass OF faces from Park row to Broadway,
and the overflow from 1t filled Newspaper
row from Ann street to the bridge. Upper
Broadway was solid with humanity and
Twenty-third to Thirty-thrd street. All
other places-snd there were many OF them
in the cIty-where returns were buletined
filed up as II by magic and stayed filled
until certainty was doubly certain. and there
was no room for doubt Of the triumph OF
Mckinley.
1t was night o. tremendous celebration
and display Flash lights Streamed across
the sky. Bonires lighted up the streets.
Rockets and Roman candles darted through
the darkness In lines OF hre, anu prlila9l
decorations OF coIored lights gave hundreds
of buildings a festal appearance. 10 the
ear, even more than to the eve. the ce!ebra-
ton appealed. Thousands upon Thousands
of horns and rattles were pressed into
service. Brass bands were hired by the
political clubs to discourse triumphant music
from balconies and stands, and, most I'm
pressive OF all, tens Of thousands OF voices
blended together In cheers that thrilled
through the air like one tremendous deep
note Of muaic. The air was instinct with
excitement and the man who stayed at home
and forewent the elation that comes from the
enthusiasm of an enormous mass OF men all
intent on one idea, missed an experience
that comes perhaps but once In lifetime.
No man can guess when the city will again
be stirred and reused as 1t was on :his night.
Compared to It other National elections have
been INSIGNIFICANT.

received at Efangham House by cable and
Immediately forwarded to them by telegraph.
Elaborate preparations were made at the
various telegraph Offices 10 the city, the
West End, and PIccadilly TO announce the

In Berlin, Paris and throughout Europe,
in fact, the result Of the election was awaited
