The torch.light procession and demon
s~tration by tho Democrats OF Wheeling
last night in celebration Of the election OF
Cleveland and Hendricks to tho %..l'resi-
lency md vice-presidcncy, was perhaps
the largest similar turn out Of that party
in Wheeling this year, excepting the one
on the evening OF Mr.. Hendricks visit to
the city. The decorations and illumina.
tons were not so general nor on such n
scale OF magnihcence, but they were
nevertheless very extensive and quite
creditablc. A larger quantity Of red fire
was burned than usual, but aside from
this there was not such Il manifestation OF
enthusiasm rs might have been expected.
The party was joyful, but not hilarious.
SHARING THINGS RED"
The expression "painting Tue town red"
until recently used in a iiguratiye sense,
has durin. this campaign CONE to be &C.
copied IN q literal sense, and in the dec
ora.ions last night red pfedominated. Red
calico and red flannel were probably in
greater demand yesterday than ever be-
fore. They were wrapped around hats,
ieStooned 0ver wagons and carriages, htng
OH the house fronts, and red ribbon dec.
grated b%uttonllolcs and other convenient
places. 4 leather dealer, OIL Market street
removed everything from his windows and
hung them with red leather in.the piece.
The decorations extended from the ex.
treme north end TO the extreme south end
Of the city, and clear round the hill upon
McColloch street. Twelfth, Fourteenth
and Fifteenth streets were notable for
artistic decorations, and Market and Main
above Eleventh Tor the generality, with
which the houses OF Democrats were deco.
rated and Illuminated.

SOME OF TIE FEATURES. -
There "ercn moi as many happy hits nthc
way OF transparenC!es md the like as there
might have been, but what there were
showed u commcndable absence Of bitter
ness, except in n or two ill.adyised in
stances.
In oua carriage was u monster rooster
on canvass aboht G by S feet. boosters
were the marked feature Of the pro-
~cession. There we're live ROSTERS, painted
roosters, big ROSTERS and little ROSTERS. A
lady remarked that she had not seen so
many chickens since the State Fair. There
vas one big white rooster on a pole, and
two iittlo bantams on another pole. The
Captain of tho Martins Ferry club wore a
tiny rooster, stuffed, on his high red hat.
One club had ROSTERS cut from cardboard
nailed on their torches. Besides tits the
marchers kept up a continual "cock-a-
doc !le.dno!"
Oae club carried new hrooms, suggestive
OF a clean sweep" Another rang street
car bells-signitlcancc lost on tile spec
tators.
