GRAND RATIFICATION AND TORCH LIGHT PROCES- SION THURSDAY NIGHT. ree On the receipt in this city, Fri- day morning, of the glorious news of the election of Cleveland and Hen- dricks, the enthusiasm among the democrats was the most intense of amy that has vet been displayed by members of either party, here. At an early hour the streets were throng- ed with people ; shouts and yells rent the air; glad huzzas filled the heav- ens, and altogether the jubilee was complete. tensified as the day grew, and even dispatches indicating Blaine’s The enthusiasm was in- elec- tion only served to make the demo- crats more confident ot the final suc- cess of the gallant young reform gov- ernor of the empire State. When night came the real fun be- gan. Scarcely had the sun gone down, before the popping of fire— crackers and the booming ot anvils told the citizens that the democrats ot Putler were fully awake tothe glor- ious victory about to be celebrated all over this broad land = A_ bonfire was built on the northeast corner of tne square and the anvils were placed in tront of the Palace Hotel.

New York, Nov. 8.—Mr. Blaine says ina dispatch to Chairman Jones that he is advised that trauds have been committed in New York state, and that he believes the honest vote of the state gives a republican plu~ rality. This means ct course that he intends to contest the election of Cleveland. It is doubtful, however, if he will be sustained by his own party in this effort. The republi- cans generally feel that the state has gone ter Cleveland. The drift ot public opinion is all in that direction and it is understood that everybody even in the Tribune office has given up the fight except Wm. M. Gros- venor, who 1s not unknown to the people of Missouri. The democrats here to-day are more confident than ever, and the friends of Governor Cleveland may feel perfectly assured that he will be president. Indianapolis, November $.—Rev. James McLeod, pastor of the Sec- ond Presbyterian church of this city and who formerly occupied the pul- pitof the Presbytenan church at Buffalo, N. Y., says he has it good authority that Governor Cleve- mar- on land will shortly be united in Tiage with avoung lady ot Buffalo. North Carolina.

He Writes a Letter to Governor Cleveland Extending Cengratu- lations. Albany, November 8.—There is no diminution in the number of con gratulatory dispatches that were re ceived by President-elect Cleveland to-day. Colonel Lamont, the gov- ernor’s private secretary, and several attaches of the office were constant ly engaged in arranging messages. Atleast 4,000 of these have been re- ceived during the last two three days, and they have come from near- or ly eyery state in the unton. New York, November 7. To Hon.
