Celebration No. 9.

Again, last Saturday, the democracy
gave themselves oyer to high degree of
jubilation in honor of the election Of
Cleveland and Hendricks and all the
sweet plums that event will bring to
them. At daybreak one of the cannon
under the State control at Madison boom
ed over the city and lifted everybody
from their feet. Firing Was kept up at
intervals all day and at 2 O'Clock p. m.
the real fun commenced by the Philhar-
monte band marching "up and down
through the town." but oy this time the
rain began to pour and interfered mater
tally with the further festivities. In the
evening Main street and streets inter
secting presented a handsome appearances
with Examinations OF different kinds
some of the displays being very fine but
of course the rain was great detriment
to the beauty of the scene. A long street
parade had been prepared for. but here
again the elements spoi'e things as the
teeming rain had the effect of cooling or
lessehing the ardor even of Democrats
and few turned out with torches and
brooms compared with the number that
intended to DO so. BUT not to be daunt
e5 by rain, mud or slush number of
ardent, good feeling specimens Of the
Democracy, considerable many of whom,
however, rers Juveniles, did brave the
Storm and marched bearing torches and
transparencies. A small cavalry escort
made up part Of the procession and the
ho.ses seemed as wild with delight as
their riders oyer the Democratic triumph.
The procession broke rank at Turner
Hall which was crowded and addresses
from G. Fl. Gardner and J. G. Conway
closed the demonstration Everything
WIS conducted orderly and with friend
ly spirit and no Republican could find
fault with the good time enjoyed by their
Democratic friends.

EDITOR REPUBLIcAN:-Wh defeat
has its disappointments, victory is not
entirely unmixed with perplexities. The
Democrats OF this city are already expert
ercing some of the annoying concomitants
of success. The number of candidates
for the postmastership, if the gossips are
TO be relied on, is increasing at prodigi-
Gus rate so that lively time may e
expected before the matter shall be finally
titled 1t is charged quit. extensively
that the jollifcation of last Saturd, y
evening was inaugurated by, and epgir-
eered in the interest of, one of the sup
posed aspirants, and that the contribut ors
to the expenses Of the affair were nost
woefulIy duped and deceived and it is
further claimed by the knowing ores
that the individual in question rather
overshot the mark and damaged his
chances of success instead Of promoting
his prospects. From the numerous and
conflicting remarks heard on every hand
it is quite difficult to forecast the final
outcome of the struggle, though i: appears
to be fact that the current of popular
favor is turning in the direction OF q
certain grocery-keeper, who seems to Fl
the bill as true blue Democrat and
hard working and unassumising par
ty man, it being also claimed in his
behalf that he was the first and orig nal

EDITOR REPUBLICANS: One thing set.
tied by the recent election was that the
ex-rebels are to come to the front. OF, the
2l9 electoral votes which Cleveland will
receive, 1853 will be contributed by the
South. This means the domination Of
that section in the next administration
as all know who understand the dough-
faced democracy of the North The
question as to who is to be the coming
postmaster may therefore be considered
as we'll settled now as if the appointment
had been made. Who of all the appli-
cants stands better chance, or is more
deserving from democratic standpoint
than Major Charles H. Gardner? He
won his title OF Major in the ranks of the
Confederate army. He shouliered his
musket and battled for the cause which
he thought wss right. Democrats who
object to his army record are too squeam-
ish, by far. Men who could vote Tor
Thomas A. Hendricks, who in the senate
of the United States never cast vote to
sustain the Union army, but was always
in full sympathy with the south, should
be consistent. Major Gardner was the
Drawer, better and more honorable man
of the two, for he had the courage of b 8
convictions aud fought for them. while
Hendricks staid at home and PLAYED the
sneak and copperhead. Furthermore
Major Gardner has claims upon General
Bragg, who will control the appointment
which that gentleman cannot well ignore.
Therefore | cOnsi Ter the selection OF
Major Gardner rs the one most likely to
be made. | maintain further that 1t
should be. It would be in accordance
with the eternal fitness of things He il ag
competent as any of the other aspirants.
He is representative democrat who has
claims upon the party When he passes
up his dish for his share of the official
crumbs falling from President Cleveland's
table it ought to be well filled, and as
one of the little band of Independents
who voted for The Democratic candidate
to the end that "the rascals may be
cleaned out" | sincerely hope that when
Postmaster Moak walks the plank he
may give way TO my candidate, Major
Gardner INDEPENDENT.
