Democratic Meeting

The largest political demonstration of the
campaign SO far in this city was that of
the Democracy on Saturday night. The
Cleveland and Hendricks Young Mems
Club, and the Democratic Fire Brigade, in
full uniform, 80 in number, and supplied
with torches, formed at 7;30 P. NJ. on Sixth
street, in front of their headquarters.
Headed by the Hussar band they marched
down X to Second, to J, to Tenth, to X, to
Fifth, countermarched on X to Seventh, to
L, to Armory Hall. AT the Capital Hotel a
orator of the evening Governor Stoneman,
Senator Fred. Cox, and Hon. r. d..
Stephens, was given the post of honor be-
tween the two organizations, and escorted
to the hall Those in line were furnished
with colored lights, fireworks, and few
transparencies. The procession was orderly
three blocks in length, and altogether very
creditable.

was called to order by the Chairman of the
County Central Committee, r. d. Stephens,
who named the following officers: Presi-
dent, Frederick Cox; Presidents, Gov

menting the Democracy upon their splen-
did demonstration, and then introduced
the orator of the evening, the Hon. John
2. Irish. In the procession was a large
Transparency which had occupied a posi-
ton on an express wagon, and this, in their
enthusiasm, four of the Fire Brigade placed
upon the platform They did not notice
that it took up nearly the entire space.
Mr. Irish, being an orator who likes con-
siderable room, stepped down in the midst
of his audience. He spoke for upwards of
two hours, devoting nearly his entire
speech to the question of free trade.
The tariff, he claimed, protected the
manufacturer, not the laborer. He said
the history of the old Republican party
contained many things that were good, but
the leadership had fallen into the hands OF
men who were not representative of the
best interest of the country. He said the
country demanded a change, and what the
Democracy wants to-day is to get hold OF
the books at the national capital. He said
there was but one way to perpetuate re-
publican form of government, and that was
to have an occasional change in the par
tisan management of public affairs. He
said the Democratic CRY was now and al
ways had been, Equal protection to all,
and special favOrs to none" The major

Americans. His speech was listened to
carefully throughout its delivery, and was
frequently and enthusiastically applauded.
FELL FROM \ TRAIN.-An elderly man,
apparently a mechanic or rancher, was
found by section men lying alongside the
railroad track about six miles east of Wash
ington Saturday morning, having appa-
rently fallen from passing train. He was
insensible, and had bruises about the head,
but 1t did not appear that any bones were
broken. He was conveyed to Washington
on a hand car, and later in the day taken to
the County Hospital at Woodland by Con
stable Todhunter. Up to the time the Off
Ger left the hospital returning the patient
had not recovered consciousness. Il Is be-
Heved that he was passenger for Saera-
mento by the Woodland train of Friday
evening, and that he fell from the platform
of one OF the cars, possibly through being
intoxicated. At Woodland parties who saw
him stated that they knew him, but could
not tell what his name was. II was thought
n the hospital that he would not recover
ACCIDENTALLY SHoT.-A few minutes
before the. curtain arose at the matinee at
the Tiyoi Saturday afternoon shot was
heard behind the scenes. A man was heard
to fall, Others cry with pain, and from the
noise there appeared to be considerable
confusion. The audience was qIieted,
when the announcement was made that a
pistol III the hands of Tully Marshall had
been accidentally discharged in the faces OF
Clint Woodwork and James O'Neal, two
stage assistants. Their fureheads were
badly powder-burned, and the latter was
injured in the eyes, If the point of the
pistol had been an inch lower both would
have lost their eyesight. They are all right
again, except that their faces will always be
powder-marked.
To-NIGHT's DEMoNsTRATIoS.-Thi even
ing's demonstration by the Republicans, in
honor of Hon Joseph Mckenna, candidate
for Congress from this district, will be very
much more brilliant than anything of the
kind that has taken place this campaign
and it may not be equalled by any that
follow it The clubs will introduce many
new features and viii carry them out in
grand style. Brilliant uniforms, plenty OF
music and fireworks in great quantity will
add interest to the occasion. The pre-
gramme is published in full in the adver-
Using columns, and also notices for club
meetings.
