AT LAST
This town went wild last night. A
toreh-light procession of Democrats
paraded the streets, JOnfires were set
blazing, cannOns rOared, the City Hall
bell rang out the glorious naws and all
the factory whistles blew, c eating a
splendid din and mingling wi Il the I'M
ceasing yells Of the triumphant DemOc-
racy, who crowded Main street and
listened to half dozen different stands
of speakers, vA.o were hauled from the
crowds and put up to talk and to swell
the enthusiasm which burst all re-
straints Of dignity Eand every trammel
of custom.

present emotions of the Democracy of
the South, and there is no use trying to
find them. We hoped that after the
first flush of victory had passed and the
delightful shock of triumph was less

measured by words; mo 10Y is too wild
and magnificent to be Ghaped and

ear-piereing rebel yells which will send
the atmospheric sound waves laden
with triumph and joy rolling and vi
brating through the streets, and over
fields and hills until they break and die
among the remotest echoes. For three
days conflicting emotions Of hope and
fear, JOY and anguish, have been tear
ing Democratic breasts, and they have
produced a cyclone Of feeling which
cannot be controlled, moderated or
limited. There Is no proper expression
OF our feelings except the wild, ear.
