which all Democrats entered into 1t made
a general jollification over the recent victory
About O'Clock the procession was formed
In front of the. Young Mems Democrats,
Club room on Market street between Fiftl
and Sixth, and started off, headed by tn,
City Cornet Band. Martin Farrell acted a.
Chief Marshal. His aids were William
Maxwell, William Blake, DR.. John Spcck,
DR.. Howard Ogle, Samuel Chambers and

Directly behind the band came the run
ming gears of a lumber or long wagon drawn
by two mules. Upon the wagon was placed
bottom upwards, the wreck Of skiff The
ribs were broken and STAYED in and the
whole appearance was one of disaster and
decay. Upon each Of the rotten sides was
painted the word wrecked" which repre-
sented the fate of the "New Constitution. +"
number Of Chinese lanterns lighted up
the boat, while astride the keel, along which
young men who employed themselves in
burning red fire. The float created con
siderable merriment, and was greeted
with cheers and laughter wherever 1t
was taken. Following came another
wagon upon which was carried
trim and wcll-fnished model of a vessel.
In the wagon were a number of young men
bearing flags, brooms, lanterns and repre-
sentation Of q growing rooster perched upon
stick. Then followed long line OF
civilians, who marched in platoons under
the direction OF chosen leaders. There were
perhaps thousand men in line, while on
the sidewalks the throngs were almost i'm
penctrable. The air was rent with cheers
for the party Of honesty and good manage

Mr.. LoRE's SPEECH.
After recognizing the plaudits with which
he was greeted Mr.. Lore said in substance:
Fellop Citizens: suppose it Is nearly i'm
possible for me to be heard by all of this I'm
mense assemblage Permit inc to express
my heartfelt gratitude for this token OF your
esteem, on the eve of our great victory.
This sercnade is not so much gratifying to
me personally as to me as the candidate of
the Democratic party, through a campaign
which has been one of the most exciting /
have ever seen in this State and which has
resulted in the political triumph of our side
and the crushing defeat of our adyersaries.
[ Applause. That defeat signiled to them and
to the people of Delaware that VIC were no.
ready to adopt the devious ways of the cort
rupt men who sought to come iuto power
ana rule us. 1t means Q long lease of
power for the Democratic party in this
State, and it will be Il matter of history that
this year the people of Delaware saved their
State from the hands of the bold, bad men
who sought to use her. If the Democratic
party is only true TO the interests and we'll
fare of the people hereafter there is no end
to Democratic POWER. [Applause.]
We may learn lesson from this-that
the truth, honesty, principle and decency
will prevail with the people, and the public
interests must be fairly served. Public
good and not party benefit must be served
now that this Is all over. may say that up
to November I we were the candidates.
now we are no longer candidates, but the
of the people of Delaware.
Applause. We to-day must lay aside the
partisan in our efforts to serve all our people,
SO that they shall say of the Democratic
party that it gave them men who were
careful that her interests should be Looked
after and that the life and liberty and hap
piness Of her people should be promoted
My whole endeayor will be to
serve this interests of the whole people of
Delaware as best can. Applause. Per-
nit me to say good night.
