Dem ocrat,c Enthusiasm.

On the receipt of a telegram Friday
from DR.. Anderson, Chairman of the
Democratic State Central Committee, Civ
ing assurance of the election of Cleveland,
a great .outburst of enthusiasm was mani
tested by our Democratic friends Flags
were raised, cannons fred, cheers rens
the air AID the Democratic populace was
wild with excitement over the prospect of
being restored to the control of the Gen
eral Government after "a years of watch
ing and waiting. n the evening torch
bearers paraded the streets, fire work
went up, buildings were illuminated and
the air resounded with music and boot
ing. Republicans stood by and surveyed
the scene with as much complace as
could be expected from them under the
circumstances. Wisconsin they knew
had not contributed particle TO the re-
suit that caused all this Democratic Joy
business, and SO were somewhat comforted
with the idea that if the Democrats were
installed in Washington, the Republicans
still held the fort al Madison, with Re
publican state officers and Republican
Senate and Assembly which assures ;hem
of Republican United States Senator this
winter in place of Angus Cameron.
