Dear Mag 
Was glad to get yours of the 9th 
The landslide was so great that Mrs. M such a good Democrat that I presumed you escaped the usual lecture for staying out till 3. I thank you for the mighty well to get in so early. 
When I went to bed at 1:30 the crowd was yelling + when I woke at 5:30 to catch a train the yell was still there. 
These people went wild + have not so yet quieted down. They are planning demonstrations for every night next week. Savannah[?] has here on Thursday Macon Tuesday + the other places full this week in.  
It has been a long time since a child was born the White House, what an elegant opportunity for Grover, better give him the tip, may experience[?]  take next election. 
From the present outlook I will go to Augusta tomorrow, Sunday night returned her Monday night + if the current holds as it is working now will leave for Kansas City on Tuesday night reaching there on Thursday or Friday morning. Will have the office. 
I think we have gotten on the trouble. The Telegraph, in charge of the Chief Dispatcher + as in such cases everything goes ahead of the Telegraph, hence the delays. Another thing concerning the delay so that I cannot lie at both ends at once.  
However in he case Cleveland is elected + it all goes. 
Regards to all 
Yours truly
