SCENE IN NEWSPAPER ROW
The offices of the correspondents of the various newspapers throughout the country are
located under the Ebbitt House, in Fourteenth Street, and to this focus of news the crowd
tended on the night after the vote had been taken. The sidewalk on Newspaper Row was
blockaded during the whole evening by anxious searchers after news, and the offices of the
New York papers and that of the Cincinnati Gazette agent were crowded until
midnight. But as it is the duty of the correspondent to collect news of the many and
dispense it only to his editor, the crowd became the dispenser of rumors rather than the
recipient of facts.
