ne tfio Knew where to get the latest
i'il . o'nlation on returns. The Times has
pu.il up ms department as a feature.
LAST night was no exception 10 the rule.
eight o CLOCK the crowd began to
ssuier on me south slope of the Capitol
Square. where 1ardella's Band disconrsed
hNeiS music A large canvas, had been.
spread across Bank Street from The
mes building. On this was disnlavod
through powerful stereoptican tho 70
turns from various and sundrv noi,ts ~
virginia; and. in fact. from New York
Maryland. Ohio. New Jersey, Massacn,1,
setts' PENNSYLVANIA. and wherever cleo
IONS were held. These returns were fur.
pS Inc Times we'll trained corps
Oh special correspondents at all the imnnr-
tant points. by the Western Union And
Postal special bulletins. the Associated
frcsS dispatches. and long-distance teIe-
phone- AS fast as the returns were So
ceived over private wires looped into The
Times building they We're flashed on tho
canvas and shouted through the MON
ster megaphone from the third floor t,r
Inc Times building by a gentleman with
a fog-horn voice that spread all over the
Capitol Square and fiattened itself against
the southern exposure of the City Hall.
Many instructive and amusing pictures
were also given.
There were some two thousand people
gathered in the Square. These were va
riously interested Some wanted to know
Just how great would be Montague.s ma.
iority over 71oge. others We're curious to
find out the dimensions of the WALTON
which Seth Low gave the temporar: dis
ciDle of Tammanv hot after a municipal
Job. While still others were interested in
the returns from different quarters.
The band DrOSeI an cotSrtaiNcr y nd
kept up folks spirits between acts. The
weather was raw. penetrating. cha ppy,
and tho ground was lust damn enough TO
create n little business for the bartender
across the street. Still. when the returns
',cran to come in the spectators remained
firm AT their posts and had individual
comments to. make at intervals.
THE ONLY SOURCE.
No display of returns was made any
where else III Richmond except from The
Times building. If one wished TO know
how any special district or precinct in
Virginia or elsewhere went, whether Low
or Shepherd was elected in New York,
how New Jersey, Ohio or other pivotal
States i'll which an election was bcin. held
turneu out he had to 90 TO The Times
building to learn what he wanted
know
Considerable interest was manifested in
tke New York fight. The sentiment ap-.
peared 10 be against Shepherd and Tam
many. which he represented while the
job was focused in coveted proportions
before his eager eyes. And here is where
monste: voice got in us work This
voice originated away up on the brow of
the hill almost beneath the Father of his
Country. 1t was penetrating. emphatic.
heavy accumulation of sound that started
from down in the neighborhood of the
diaphrag m. gathered force up about the
larynX and spread all over the neighbor-
hood with an accompaniment that sug-
gested several rye high balls.
Il remained for the Richmond returns
to be shouted through the meaaphone or
flashed on the canvas for. the big. fat
voice to get in its effective work.
Clay Ward returns We're. an Inspiration
To most people it appeared that so far as
Hoge's name was on the ticket only to
fill up space.
Montagues majority in what is famil-
iarly known as Africa" aroused the on
tire crowd. will YOU look at that..'
asked a peoples candidate man with. 4
taste for gooGs government. and then
general cheer responded to thegnews.
CHEER, AND REVERENCE.
II was Il notable fact that when the late
President Mckinley picture was thrown
on the canvas Z, general round of cheers
greeted it. The band slleil played the
martyred CHIEF S favorite HMM. Nearer,
Ny god. to Thee Cheers ceased, =. There
was a silence full OF reverence Some
even bowed; their heads as il. conscious of
being in the presence of the dead. ana a
spirit of respect seemed strained through
the entire audience.
