hstitJi ing the Democratic romlnatiops.
After several days Of suspense the
Democrats Of this borough yesterday
received the news of tho nomination OF
Cleveland and Hendricks. Last night
about ono hundred Democrats with the
Citizens band ut their heal paraded some
of the principal streets. Tho attendance
would have been much larger had there
been time To make 1t known that there
WAS to be parade. Much enthusiasm
was manifested, and tho streets wtre
crowded with as demonstrative set of
people AZ we have ever seen. The horns,
etc, served u make diu, while the
cheers OF the happy Democrats added to
tho general confusion. Tho parade was 80
quickly gotten up, that but few of our
citizens had time to prepare for it, and
this no doubt accounts for the absence Of
torches, etc. However, this defect was
made up for by the great enthusiasm.
