to take part in the celebration
Great preparations had been made for this
event A committee, appointed over a week
ago, had set their wits sc work, and the result
was that Red Wings citizens never before wit
messed such display, and the enthusiasm was
unbOunded.
As early as half after elk the crowd began to
assemble on Broad street square, where the
speeches were made, and with the blazing OK
torches, the firing OF cannon aud the lurid light
OF burning barrels, the scene presented was In

bearers were Assem- bling at the corner of Main
and Plum streets TO take part in the procession.
A large banner had been suspended across Main
street bearing the names, ''Cleveand and Hen
drieks," and under this gathered the enthusiasts

mounted the rostrum, and spoke in substance, as
follows:
Fellow Democrats, let us smile. Are you
readyf Three rousing cheers. Upon
this melancholy occasion we are
here to rejoice, but we cannot in words fttingly
celebrate the event. We have been called Cop
perheads, and il is said we are now engaged in
removing the capitol of this country from Wash
ington 20 Richmond. We have no rebel briga-
diers to offer you tonight, but we have among
US those who went through that great conflict.

know Wm Cotyfflo

came to the front amid three cheers. He said
this was a victory Of the people. The first sixty
years Of this government was under Democratic
control, from Washington through jefferson to
Jackson, aud II wa prosperous country, and it
was largely owing to free trade. 1t stated and
maintained that the war was against slavery, but
! say it was for the Union, and to day, for the
first time, all to realize what the soldiers
fought for-the whole Union.
The federal party had advocated protection
aad had gone down.
The old Wing party tonight for protection, and
they were buried. Then the Republican party
ame into power, under the plea of high
lection and what is the resultg Be
fore the war we had double the number OF ships
OF commerce of any nation. To-day we have
hardly ship. IL we want a sack OF coffee we
have 10 send TO London for IL, and It has 70 be
brought over in a British ships But tonight we
have our freedom, and we won't be counted out
of IL. In 1876 II was stolen from Us, bat this
time we have majority OF the states, majority
OF the people, and 2LQ electoral votes. We all
feel good, and for one feel that the triumph OF
the war is just now realized for the first time.

was the next speaker. He said have been
voting for good many years, but am proud to
say that for the first time l have voted for the
successful candidate. We now see the promised
land before US the gate is aar.and we shall enter
Ia. This is victory of the people. This cruel war
now is over and Cleveland is marching home
But this victory is more than the mere
muster OF the men at the polls. l am free
to say that this victory was largely achieved by
the Democratic masses, aided by the better class
Of the Republican party, believe that Cleveland
will conduct his administration in such a manner
as to have nothing but the cleRnest record. We
have heard nothing for the past twenty five years
but that the Democratic party was dead, dead,
dead, bat there seems TO be power of vitality
in the tail. and like the snake II has continued 70
wiggle until the tail has wagged the whole body
This is no time for talk, and in closing propose
three times three and tiger for Grover Cleve-
land.

Mr. Hal then thOughtit was time for another
cheer, add IL was given Justify. lie said that at
the battle Of MurfresbOrO,in 1862, council Of war
was held as 10 whether not the army should sur
render or make fight. AT that council there
we're two men who voted to fight to the death.
They are with tonight. The one was Capt
E. l.. Baker, whom shall have the pleasure of
introducing to you, and the other our old and
esteemed fellOw-citizen, Deacon Dekay. / now
have the pleasure Of Introducing TO you
CAPT. <. L. BAKER.
Capt. Baker spoke a. follows: Fellow
eitizens-we Democrats have finally con-
eluded that this time we have secured the
election OF the president OF our choice, and,
therefore, you all the old liners out in force
old cocks who have been hunted into the fence
corners these many years, come out to crow. The
Republicans have held the reins so long that they
consider the whole team, wagon and all their own
personal property. and give IL mp with reluctance
They are hanging on to the last hairs of the tail
OF hope, but IL is slipping, slipping from their
grasp: that tail Is creased. Our majority is not
large, 1,23S, but ''it is enough; twill serve"

proud Of all our countrymen who so calmly
await the final decision, with full confidence that
justice and right cannot fail in the great state OF
New York. Partisan leaders will do well TO
learn that Americans will have no cold decks
drawn on them in elections hereafter We are
all alike ashamed OF the juggling OF 1876, and
will have no more OF it. Thank feaven the
perpetrators OF that foul blow to our political in
