Nashville Had q Big Time.

NASHVILLE, Nov. 15.-The demon
stration in this city tonight in honor of
Cleveland's election, was the most i'm
posing ever witnessed here. All the
prominent buildings were illuminated
and decorated with flags. The pro-

halt in passing a given point. 1t
was composed of infantry and mounted
torch bearers with numerous floats;
young ladies representing the states of
the union in open carriages, and
large wagons contained little girls rep
resenting states which voted for Cleve-
land. There were $50 children of the
public school sin line, singing national
airs. The mounted men were 800 strong,
One hundred brass bands furnished the
music, and $500 torches and 200 trans
parences lit up the line of march. The
special features were 500 commercial
travellers in linen busters, preceded by
40 wheelmen on bycicles, and followed
by the Mexican war veterans on foot.
Gen. Il. +. Cheatham was chief marshal.
The city is wild with enthusiasm ssand
the streets are densely crowded by the
addition to the local population of those
from the surrounding counties.

West New Brighton, n Y, Nov. IL
DEAR SIR: l have your letter of the
18th. There is no doubt Mr.. Cleveland
will encounter tremendous demand
for a clear sweep, but think that while
changes will be and ought to be for per-
fectly legitimate reasons, he will respect
the letter and spirit of
the reform law, and that non-political
officers who have been honest and efli-
cient in the discharge of their duty, and
who have not m'sused their positions
for party or political ends, will not be
arbitrarily dismissed for political rea-
sons. OF course / have no authority to
speak for Cleveland. My faith is
founded on knowledge of his charac-
ter and convictions.
