PIG CELEBRATION.
Thorough Preparation for the Great
Rejoicing.
Demonstration Worthy OF An Honest Gov
eminent and Redeemed NatiOn-St.
Paul to Be Wave Of Joy.

any Cleveland man would have dared To hone
for At first the elder members Of the party
were disposed to be satisfied with the jollif-
cation they had at the Market hall. which
was really big affair. To these gentlemen
that meeting, which was a sedate
and digni6ed affair, at which
number of good speeches were made,
seemed to have covered the ground aud rem
dered it unnecessary aud really superhuOus
that another should be held. Not so with the
younger portion of the Democratic party.
They saw every town in the state celebrating,
and the length and breadth OF their phnoso-
ply was not sufficient to enable them to study
out reason why they should not have an
opportunity 10 celebrate as well as other peo-
pie, and the n ore they talked it up the more
everybody began to think with the younger
members OF the great and victorious Demo
cratic party, that, after many struggles, last
ing through more than quarter of cen
tury, had at last dislodged a party
which was entrenched in ali the government
Offices throughout the land, and which had
millions of money TO put into the great con-
test The sentiment that such a victory
called for a decided and marked demonstra-
ton, increased so rapidly aud naturally that
1t seemed 70 run along inyOluntarily aud TO
carry everybody along with il, Democracy
came 70 the conclusion that there must be
some noise made on the occasion, some
powder burned. some Emusic in the air"
some fire works and big racket, that would
show to the world that the giant Democratic
party was alive to the demands of the
occasion. Il looks now as
though those interested in the celebra-
ton were likely to see bigger demonstra-
ton than they anticipated. The matter is
growing and increasing so rapidly that it
looks now as though it would outrun the
widest anticipation.
THE MEETING LAST NIGHT.
Last evening wide awake meeting was
held at the council chamber, and very de-
cided progress was made. 1t was proposed
at drst to have little lOca. celebration 70
cost $500 OF 5000, and some doubt was ex-
pressed as to whether either of these sums
could be raised, owing to the opinions
referred to above in regard
to not having celebration. All
doubt was removed, however, at
the meeting last night, when the finance
committee reported that they had not had
time to see many parties but that they had
made sufficient progress to show ''the boys
could go on aud yell" II they wanted To.

enough could be had to celebrate, as Mr..
Ringwald said, Every hard.n The meeting
last evening was a large one and full of vim.
Everybody was ready TO 20 TO work and make
all the noise possible over the event. There
