or three times, and its reception varied In
the early evening, when Lows majority
gave promise of being very large and as
there were no returns from any other sec
tion of the country, the crowd cheered very
family. But as the night advanced the
democrats took heart and released their
voices, so that about 8 O. clock the German
picture was heartily greeted. Messrs Low
