Only the Higgins Club, negroes, COM
plimented Anthony Higgins, Esq, by
three cheers, as the parade passed his
office, while Levi Z. Bi d, the party's
pet, recaived q number of hearty rounds.
Various rumors we're rife that distur
bance would be the result il the line
marched through certain Democratic
sections of the city, but these reports
were untrue aud the entire line did
parade through those sections without
b ing molested, shnder or even an
impertinent remark made 10 them. This
part of the city was under the surv i'll
ance of large detachment of special
police selected by Mayor Almond dur
ing the day. These officers attended TO
their duties to the letter and deserve
many tbanks.-West Chester Record,
Rep.
What contrast when tho Democrats
paraded on Saturday night week, and
negro Republicans fired murderous
volley upon them, wounding twenty
white men!
The Republican papers failed to com
phment the South Christiaua q. and
A. Club, comprising about fifteen corn
field darks, uniform in gorgeous style,
and marching hike veteran moDkeyS.
Surely. WILMINGTON saw last night
more Republicans in line than there
are voters in the State.-West Chester
Ne,ps.
Oh, no; there were not quite 5000 In
line, and there are many more than
5000 Democrats, in New Castle County
alone. There are four thousand in
Wilmington.
No disturbance of any sort occurred
and there was shown to be no reason
for the apprehensions that had been en-
tertained In some quarters as to the dam
ger of having such q procession.-West
Chester Record Rep.
Yet when the Democratic parade
passed the Republican headquarters, on
Saturday night week, savage and un-
provoked volley caused twenty white
men to feel the uncomfortable effects oil
cold lead. @
Wilmington and New Castle County
Clubs were completely lost sight of
among the vast concourse of visitors.
Every man who has returned from
| Wilmington 10 loud 10 his praises of the
treatment received at the hands of the
generous Wilmingtonians.-Chestef
Ne,os.
| Wilmington Democrats are not loud
in their praises ofthe blood thirsty negro
Republicans who wantonly fired mur-
derous valley into their ranks, Saturday
night week.
There were many..negroes in the paI ade
and many ladies from houses along the
line gazed admiringly upon the pro
cession. To these ladies the negloes
naid their respects by throwing kisses
from the thick black lips. 1t is hoped
the ladies properly appreciated this
unusual compliment.
Some of the Philadelphia Republican,
who did not turn out in the parade
amused themselves by robbing tht
houses which people had deserted while
they went out to see the demonstration
At 7th and Market streets the Demo
Gratis have their headquarters and as the
Young Mems Republican Club, of yves
Chester, , passed this point the boys ("ho
nv the way, were marching perfectly
we're loudly cheered aud applauded.-
