The Repub lican headquarters proper were throng ed, tlie hall leading to the inaiu room was filled and there were groups in the vicinity of the Magill drug stor.- wherever they could find shelter from ! the rain. The usual post-election snow did not wait until the day after the casting of the ballots, but came last night in a little sleety tall preceding the rain. Vl ill street, near tho headquarters of tli" Repablioan and Democratic com mittees, was crowded early in the evening, but the rain caused a scatter ni' ut.
