TIE SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATES SER
ENDED.
Having Good Cause for a Jollification, Last
Night Was Made Merry BIeeting--The
Voters and Their Favorites Have a Good
and Speeches.
The Democratic party resolved itself into
Notification party, last night. Headed by
the Great Western band, the friends of the
Irregular Democratic Ticket paid each sue
cessful candidate visit, and honored
him with serenade. The assembly was
made at the city hall about 8 O'Clock, and
under the guidance of Hons. w. H. Murray
and Brisbin, and others, the procession was
formed and marched to Sheriff Kings resi-
dence.
SHERIFF KING sERENADED.
Arriving at the Jail, the band discoursed
sweet music. Shortly after the sweet sounds
had gone out into silence, Sheriff King ap-
peared, and was greeted with hearty cheers.
Hon. J. B. Brisbin gave him an elegant
salutation. He referred to the late canvass.
and congratulated Sheriff King upon his
we'll merited success. He, King, had fought
against the most malignant opposition that
had ever disgraced local campaign in Ram
sey county. His indomitable spirit and ex-
ertlon had overcome the righteousness of his
assaiants, and his fellow citizens of the
Democratic party had rallied handsomely to
his rescue. The speaker augured from the
unanimity of the party at the last election
that solid front of mighty phalanxes would
be presented to the enemy in the national
fight of 1880. Abiding to this coming con-
test, he named his choice for the Presidency,
Senator Bayard, of Delaware, who
like his illustrious p edecessor in
name, Chevalier Bayard, was
without fear and without reproach. In
further reference to the Democratic party
and its mission, he said, it was the party of
the people, and among other privileges con-
tended for, it upheld the sacredness of the
ballot, and the free will of manner to vote
untrammeled by fear, favor or affection.
just here the speaker took occasion to men
ton the mooted question of contest over
the late election. A contest, by the defeated
candidates, because the Democrats had voted
Irregular Democratic ticket" He felt
pretty sure that any man voting ticket SO
superscribed, had the presumption
with him of having voted ex-
actly right. daughter and cheers.)
He characterized any such attempt as le-
gally absurd, and called to the attention of
his hearers that such an attempt was con-
templated, but would meet with signal fail
ure. The Republican election law had had
one hole knocked in it, and enough could be
in 10 no 90
of the tattered and riven flags of the late war
in the capitol. Cheers. The speaker then
closed with hearty congratulation at the
success of the whole ticket.
Sheriff King stated he wasn't given to
speaking. He felt deeply grateful for the
honor conferred, and for the cordial sup
port given him last Tuesday. He
thought the fight made against
him had been uncalled for by
any act of his, and called upon all citizens,
irrespective of party, to merely judge him
by his acts as a citizen, for good or bad, dur
ing his residence of ten years in the COM
munity. He pledged himself to administer
his Office faithfully, economically, efficiently
and for all of Ramsey county. SHOW, gen
tlemen, please come in and look through the
jai.''
AT this the crowd went, and took in but
one room of the jail. One in which Sheriff
King and his good wife had laid out spread.
Justice was done the 'casion.'' After appe-
tltes had been somewhat appeased, Mr.. VIM.
Barrett made O few happy remarks.
Capt. Reaney followed in few we'll chosen
words, which met general approval.
"Come out, boys And, after numerous
calls, the boys came out, and the line of
march was taken up to Auditor Lee Davis
residence, on Pleasant avenue, near Third
street.
AUDITOR DAVIS VISITED.
ALVEY tune brought Mr.. Davis out He
returned his thanks, and expressed his high

and expressed himself we'll and to the point,
closing with the remark, 81 have a small
watermelon in the house, which has been
ripe for few days -Qaughter) I in
yite you in to cut it''
MIR. Murray-Hold on boys, will 90 in
and sample it, and let you know if it is good.
The Boys-No you don't.
The hospitality of the house was bounte-
ously extended by Mr.. Davis, assisted by his
wife.
Some one, in jocular way, said to Mrs.
Davis, "This Democratic party is terrible
mob. is it not?''
Mrs. Davis, with considerable spirit-No,
sir; I just think the Democratic party is
splendid
Meanwhile the guests were enjoying them
selves hugely on both substantials and
fluids.
JUDGE o'GoRMAN VISITED.
From MIR. Davis the jollifcation party
found their way to Judge O'Gorman's home,
on Iglehart street. Here Mr.. Murray in

congratulations at his election. 81 have said

say, O'Gorman.''
Judge o'Gorman said his say by return
ing thanks for the confidence placed in him
by electing him to Office, and for the favor
and compliment extended him this even

all hands to come in. All hands accepted,
and went in. There big spread awaited an
attack, which was not long coming, and was
vigorously sustained. Jokes were cracked,
and a genial good time had by all who were
on hand.
HON. JOSEPH oPPENHEIM CALLED ON.
Somewhat thinned out in numbers,
the crowd at 11:3O o'clock left
the judges hospitable mansion and took the
route to Hon. Joseph Oppenheim's. Here
they were greeted with a further evidence of
courteous hospitality, and treated to the best
the land affords in solid and fluid. Happy
speeches were made and general good time
was voted the order of the day-the long
sinewy minute hand of time was over the
border of II o'clock.
THE WIND-UP.
Thence the band and a few faithful follow
ers made the Hon. James Smith Jr., call.
Here again the ''good time" met with gen
