THE TRIP TO NEWARK pREvENTED-A ]
FINE TURN OUT OF THE DEMOCRACY.
Last night the Democratic clubs of |
Wilmington turned out in large numbers
for the purpose of attending the Demo-
cratic rally at Newark, but were unable
to 60, on account ofthe failure of the ar
rangements with the P. W. B. Il. r.
Co. for special train.
A special train of ten cars had been
engaged several days ago but yesterday
morning ticket agent Dodmun telegraph
ed to Gen. VIM Reynolds that the Com
pany could not allow the train to run for
the price agreed upon, $3.50, but would
issue excursion tickets for the trip at 40
cents each. 1t being too late to arrange
for the issuing of tickets, Chief Marshal
Brady went at once to Philadelphia and
had an interview with Mr.. Dadmun.
The latter stated that the Company
would not agree to carry more titan fifty
passengers to a car, and therefore would
not, furnish ten cars for $3.50, but would
furnish twenty cars (Which number they
deemed necessary for the purpose) for
$500. This proposition Marshal Brady did
not feel at liberty to accept, and as twas
too late to make other arrangements the
affair fell through. -.
THE STREET PARADE.
As the clubs had all turned out, provi-
ded with music, it was determined to have
street parade, and the line was formed
on French and Walnut streets, right rest
ing on Fourth. There were three divi-
sions, as follows:

Tenth Ward Hiskory Club.
THIRD DIVISION.

line. and with their torches, Transparent
cies and banners they made splendid
appearance, while their fine marching
eliciated much commentator. Along
the line of parade the residences Of citizen
were brilliantly Illuminated.
THE BIRD GUARDS IN GOOD COMPANY.
The Bird Guards, last'night either acct
dentally or Intentionally, got themselves
for a while into good company. The
Ware club, Sharpley club, and Terrapins
headed by the Newport band, were com
ing down Market street, and just as the!
neared Sixth the Bird Guards, headed by
the negro band, filed around into Mark
ct street. So nicely had the start of tn
Guards been timed, that their rear fel
into line with the right ofthe Democrat
clubs, and they marched down to Fourtl
: street side by side. The Guards continued
/. down market street, and the Democrats
f clubs turned down Fourth.
If this was an attempt on the part o
the Bird Guards commanders to create
t disturbance it signally failed, as not evel
. an unkind word was exchanged by tn
members of the two clubs. In fact, tn
, Bird Guards seemed rather pleased a
getting into good company, and marchin
!, for awhile to the music of white band
: instead of keeping time with the, blac
musicians who headed their line.
