gratulate ourselves as Democrats In the cleo
ton OF Grover Cleveland and Thomas A

%, which viii consist of a torchlight pro-
cession, firing salutes, fireworks, illumina-
ton, speeches, etc.
The chairman of the various clubs in the
city and county will please call their mem

sary arrangements. Let there be no unto
ward demonstrations which shall cause our
fellow citizens of Republican pro-
clivities TO feel any i'll will
toward US. Rather invite them

THE FUND.
The demonstration will doubtless cost
thousands Of dollars, and there will be no
lack of funds. Every Democrat in the city
manifests desire TO contribute, and in this
connection it may be stated that all who
want TO enjoy the honor Of having con-
tributed to the grandest celebration ever
given in the city, and probably one of the
grandest that will ever be given should
call aud leave the same at the store of John
G. Oswald. Mr.. Oswald is the chairman OF
the finance committee.
A joint meeting of the above committees
will be held in the parlors Of the West hotel
at 1880 this evening, when further arrange
ments will be made The committee on
parade will probably report the time of march
or route at that time in order 10 give the cit
izeas an opportunity to illuminate their bus
iness blocks and residences. A request has
also been made that Democrats, whether they
happen TO be located on the line Of march or
not, illuminate their buildings, and there
seems TO be general disposition on the part
Of everybody TO do so.
Invitations will be extended to the Demo-
cratic clubs OF st. Paul, Saltwater, Excelsior
and other points 10 participate in the parade
The Saltwater clubs have already signiiied
their desire to be present.
In conversation with a member of the
committee on speakers il was learned last
night that the Hon. Ignatius Donnelly would
be the principal orator.

Davids seated at table-Davids looked up
and said SHOW do you dos" Patch said IT
don't want you to speak to me-" paid
for his cigar and went out Davids followed
him mp and caught hold OF him by the arm
at the same time making a motion as If to
draw weapon. Patch pulled his revolver
and shot, the bullet inficting a fatal wound.
from which Davids died in about an hour.

patty for Patch, the husband, and he was re-
leased on 81, 900 bail. Members of the G.
