[Apostle Franklin D. Richards Diary] ... after closing of the poles spent 2 hours with a number others at Dem. headquarters hearing returns as they came in from various parts of the Territory & United States. By 10 pm were satisfied that the Territory had elected JL Rawlins & the country had elected Grover Cleveland ... Immense excitement in the streets nearly all night by the Democrats over their victory today all over the United states as well as in Utah.
