Democratic Rejoicings.

President and Vice President, and mustss as a matter of course, as they have done for the past twenty years, go through the motions of having jubilee at the outset and then wake in November to find themselves badly de- feated. The old, old cry, ''We have met the enemy and they are ours, :" was quite as ap- parent as when they nominated General Me Clellan for President, and the result showed that they were most ingloriously defeated.
 The fun commenced at the headquarters of the Democratic Central Club in Whittel sey's building, where, in the absence of Judge Bradley, the president, the meeting was call. ed to order by William R. Shelton, second vice president of the club. After the meet ing was called to order the American band played with great vigor the doxology to the tune of t'Old Hundred" The minutes of the last meeting were read, and after the names of new members were announced and referred to the appropriate committee, other business was in order.
 Vice President Shelton said he regretted that the president of the club had been called from the city on urgent business and that he was called upon to preside. The convention at Cincinnati had done
 a noble work in nominating Gene ral Winfield Scott Hancock (cheers) for President of the United States. John Kelly has buried the Tammany hatchet and success is assured Let New Haven be united and she will give majority of 2,500 for the tick ct this day put in the field. He said further that no definite plan had been adopted for the demonstration, but it was proposed to run out flag, salute the Register and other Democratic newspaper offices and then pro- ceed to the Jeffersonian Club, where another flag was to be flung to the breeze. From there they would proceed to the residences of Governor English, Judge Bradley, Governor Ingersoll and Governor Bowers
 E. M. Graves then presented the following resolutions
 Resolved, By the Central Democratic Club of New Haven that we regard the nomina- ton of General Winfield Scott Hancock of Pennsylvania for President, and William H. English of Indiana for Vice President, by the Democratic National Convention at Gin cinnati as guaranty of success in the ap- preaching campaign. The ticket is invinci- ble, the candidates are beyond reproach, and Democratic victory is assured under such magnificent leadership.
 Resolved, That this club pledges it's heart jest and most energetic support to the nonli- nations this day made by the Democratic National convention, and we look confident ly to majority in this town surpassing any previously given to the nominees of Demo- cratic convention.
 Resolved, That we recognize in James B. English, our fellow townsman, the character GeI, unambitious man. With the presidential nomination in his grasp, with the greatest office in the gift of the people open to him, he declined 1t for reasons which were para mount to him. We would have hailed his candidacy with delight, and deeply regret that we are deprived of the pleasure and duty of supporting him. He has made sacrifice, however, which few men could have made.
 Resolved, That from now until the second day of November this club will work unceas- ingly for Democratic harmony and Demo- cratic success.
 After the resolutions were presented loud calls were made for Mir. Graves. He re- sponded and made short speech in favor of the resolutions. The resolutions were passed unanimously.
 Then Vice President Shelton arose and in- quired again if any plan had been made for a line of march, and there being no response he inquired if any one present had any to of fer.
 Then Sheriff Byxbee stood up in his place and proposed that after the flag was raised they proceed to the headquarters of the lief fersonian Club and assist them in raising their Hancock and English banner.
 This programme was carried into effect. The banner, on which was inscribed the names of Winfield Scott Hancock and Will liam H. English was flung to the breeze from the headquarters of the Central Club amid a blaze of fireworks and the ''Star Spangled Banner by the band The crowd then marched to the headquarters of the Patent Leather Brigade" otherwise known as the Jeffersonian Club, and while the members of the Central Club did all the hurrahing the Patent feathers" flung banner to the breeze similar to that of the Central Club. Their display of fireworks was also much more elaborate than those of their more mod est brethren. After this show was concluded the graveyard scene was continued at the Register office, where the band played and Hon. Henry G. Lewis responded. He rejoiced with his fellow Democrats on the nomination of 8 man who was soon to adorn the presidential chair. CD Faint cheers. ! Continuing, the speaker said that the Demo- cratic party demanded honesty in politics Not hurrah. The Republicans demand war, and if they want war we have General in nomination who can give them all the war they WdnG. ne clOSeu Oy saying: LeG our motto be peace, equality and harmony throughout the land, and under this banner we will conquer,
 Governor English's residence was the next objective point, and while the Patent Leath- CTS remained in the Lyon building, the ''un- terrified" marched to the Governors resi- dence, where more cheers were given, more fireworks displayed and more speeches were made. Mir. Shelton introduced Governor Fr The (HOuorDnr o1droccnd ba crowd as fellow citizens, friends and neigh bors. He thought it unnecessary for him to say that for the past three days the attention of the country had been directed to Cincin- natl. That convention was a patriotic one, and how well they had discharged their du- ties, the whole country was well aware. The nominations have been made, and if the can didates are elected it must be by the patriotic vote of the entire country. We must organ ize and march to victory in the election of Hancock and English. [Cheers The Governor assured his fellow citizens that he should put his shoulder to the wheel and do all in his power for the success of the ticket put in nomination. In conclusion the Gov ernor said that he felt grateful to the friends who had put his name in nomination for the presidential office, yet he had said to them that he was too far advanced in life to accept such position and could not allow his name to be used. He would, however, aid the Democratic party in every way he could, and he believed victory was certain.
 From Governor English's residence the crowd proceeded to that of Judge Bradley, the president of the Central Club There cheers were given for the Judge, red fire was burned, and he being out of town Judge Blydenburgh addressed the multitude. He made spread eagle speech in which he pre- dicted that the Republicans would have to send the ''bloody shirt' to the laundry. He also hailed with delight the stars and stripes which he said would float as the emblem of victory from every hickory" from Maine to California.
 The line of march from here was taken up to Governor IngersolIs residence, where ex- Mayor Sperry acted as master of ceremonies so far as lighting the fred fre' was con- cerned. Ex-Mayor Shelton, however, intro duced the Governor, who made the best speech of the evening. He thought the en- thusiasm over the Cincinnati nomination had kindled an enthusiasm that extended from ocean to ocean. Those present had great req son to be happy They had reason to rejoice in the nomination of Winfield Scott Hancock [cheers], who had devoted himself to the in- terests and welfare of the entire country. The enthusiasm of the people was presaee to victory, and he would gladly join them in efforts to accomplish the election of Hancock and English.
 After three cheers for Governor Ingersoll
