THE BEST YET.
The Grandest Political Pageant
wheeling Ever Saw.
Over Two thousand Men in The
Endless Line,
That Re quires Thirty Minutes to
Pass a Given Point.
Parade Pellets and General P0lit-
ical FONTS.

A large parade on Saturday night was
expected, because it Was the last. But
no one expected such an outpouring as
actually occurred. No one dreamed Of
seeing over two thousand men in line;
or such glorious and general recogni-
ton by illuminatiOnS; or such crowds
upon crowds of enthusiastic Democrats
along the line: or such brilliant dis
play OF fire works; or altogether such a
grand and inspiring time as We had on
saturday night. 1t surpassed the fond
est hopes of the most sancuine. 1t
was the brightest omen of a grand po-
ltical victory 1t drove another nail
through the lid of Gartield's collin and
clenc eel it on the other side.
Ii was a demonstration that must he

the Democracy is not couchant, but
