Capt. Burg commenced firing a salute
of 80 guns A bonfire was lit on the cor
ner of State and Centre street, and the
procession of between two and three
hundred torche- bearers took up their
march Of triumph through the city.

at least hatf of the torch bearers were
school boys. The bloody shirt was
carried in the procession, and several
of the transparencies bore coarse aud
insulting inscriptions. Although it
was one grand hurrah from the time
the procession began to move until it
returned to Turner Hall, as a general
thing the procession was orderly and
good feeling prevailed. A few indi-
viduals improved the occasion to in
suit Republicans standing on the side.

language was used that a number of
men in line threw down their torches
and left the procession in disgust.
We are glad 20 say, however, the prin-
cjpal offenders werh non-residents of
New Ulm. The route of march was

The enthusiastic Democrats and
curious Republicans then assembled
in Turner Hall, which, by the way,

of yore.

Mr.. NJ. G.. Robertson, was then called

do honor to the occasion. Tom Bow

view of enthusing the audience he
was sadly disappointed. Frank Ran.

he seemed to be carried off by the On.
thusiasm that was within him. OF
course nearly all the speakers sang
the same song. Mr.. Blaine and the
Republicans in general were roundly
berated and Cleveland and Hendricks
and their faithful followers were pic
tured as saints. The meeting closed
with the announcement from the
chair that u representative of the
