enslgns were displayed. On Castl
street the houses were generally illu
minated and gave evidence that tn
Fifth Ward had not only We'd wit
the other Wards in regard to an in
creased vote, but had determined no
to be outdone in the matter of i!lr
nination.
The Procession then turned dow
Fifth street, VIII c we found the samt
spirit of enthusiasm manifest, thu
houses nearly all being illuminated
most prominent among which was tha
of Mr.. Fl. 3. Eilers.
The Procession here turned dowI
Orange sereet, where the residences
were all illuminated, with but few ex
ceptions, from whence they turned NJ
Fourth street, where the same spiri
OF jolhtication was manifested. UI
Market, from Fourth to Fifth streets
the houses were all in blaze of ligh
from Orange to Market street, Mr.. G.
w. Williams being most noticeable
DIR. Bellan1y's residence on the cor.
1er of Market and fifth streets, pre-
sented splended appearance. Or
Fifth street to Princess, the houses oi
Mr.. Eli Murray, Mr.. Fl. VonGlahr
and Mr.. P. Newman, were also illumi-
mated. Up Princess as far as the eye
could reach the honses were in halo
of light, most prominent among which
were those of Mr.. L. Nj. Williams, L.
H. Bowden and DIR. Cobbs, and others.
From Princess up Fifth street the
houses of ". ). Yopp, M. Frank & Bro :,
! Walter Coney, and others were illumi-
mated. Down Chestnut every house
was illuminated; those attracting es-
pecial attention were Mr.. Dinglchoff,
n. w. Schenck, 0. 2. McEwen, Thos
J. Southerland, John l.. Holmes, -
Brown, and G. A. Price. Here the
procession turned mp Fourth street,
where the houses Of all the citizens
! presented exquisite taste, most promi-
nent among which was that of Mr..
Brad. Jewett, where the lights in the
windows were SO arranged as to dis
| play the names of our successful can
| didate5. On this street the houses of
II. G. Eashagen,-Schulken, TT. II.
| Munson, Josiah Jones, John G. Heyer,
s. ID. Wallace, ". III. Parker, p. Smith
and others showed tho same spirit that
had characterized the citizens on other
streets. Above the bridge, in tho First
Ward, ncnrly all tho houses were IL
iuminatCd. The Procession, after hay
ing taken the course laid down in the
Programme, marched back to Red
Cross street, aiId down that street
to Front, wherc, on all sides. the spirit
Of gloriiication was manifested. Down
Front to Market street every house
was in n blaze Of light. On this
street thc residences OF Capt. john
I. Rankin, hIr. 4. WE'LL, the Gas
ton House, Dr.. William E. Freeman,
Mrs. DIR. Dickson. J. G. Lumsden,
Col. Z. ID. Hall, L. L. Bridgers. IIar-
dy < Jones office, Express Office,
Gi'cs / Murcison, First National
Bank, Now Hanover Dank, the stores
Of y. Well, II. Webb, in fact every
house ana stOrc~from Princess to Mar
kct was in a halo OF light. The pro-
prietors of the Purcell House and the
National Hotel seemed to vie with
each other as to who should make the
grandest display. The Purcell was
certainly one of the grandest looking
houses we ever looked upon. Even
the old Market House was transform
cd into decent looking building.
After the Order of Procession was
carried out, the vast multitude gather
ed around the Speakers Stand at the
head Of the Market, where commenced
THE SPEAKING.
When the Procession arrived ut Mar
ket street dense throng surrounded
the platform where the speeches were
to be made.
The Chief Marshal introduced Hon
George Davis, who spoke only as he
can speak. He congratulated the peo-
pie upon their victory, and urged
them to other and greater victories.
Mr. Davis closed by introducing Gen.
". L. Cox. Chairman of the State
DemocraticC Conservative Executive
Committee, who also spoke for nearly
an hour, calling forth the plardits of
his hearers.
Col. $. ID. Pool, Superintendent of
Public Instruction, Col. Robt. Strange,
Hon. \. n. Waddell, Mr. Edwin Kerr,
from Sampson, Major |
Stedman nnd Capt. Norment, Solicitor
of this District, entertained the vast |
with able congratulatory |
speeches.
At the late hour that our report |
closes it is impossible to give even a
brief synopsis of their speeches. We |
ca,. say that the speeches which closed |
tho Grand Jubilee was worthy of the
occasion and worthy of O.lr great VIC
tory.
