The | arrangements for the Democratic jubilee for tomorrow night in this city are being rapid ly perfected. They expect to have one thousand mounted men in line under the di- rection of the Old Guard and the business men will have one of the finest bands in New York. Governor Waller and staff and the mayors and other dignitaries from several of the cities of the State will be present. Gov ernor Waller and staff will review the proces- sion. The reception committee will be made up as follows: Mayor H. G. Lewis, ex-Gov- ernor James E. English, ex-Governor Charles R. Ingersoll, ex-Mayor L. w. Sperry, ex-May. or J. B. Robertson, ex-Governor c. B. Bow CTS, Town Agent James Reynolds, Maier Zunder and John E. Earle. The headquar- ters of the committee will be at the Tontine Hotel. The Register says: "All the Democratic campaign organizations of the city have reported to Colonel Healey their intention of turning out in the great demonstration. One of the new features in the procession will be the broom brigade, an improvised organization of young men, whose arms will be brooms, signifying the clean sweep. made by the Democrats. Another contingent proposed was the coffin brigade. Badges, banners and placards Illustrating the burial of the grand old party were ordered by volunteer organization that proposed to turn out. These emblems were for individ- uaI use, but the projectors of the scheme had also engaged hearse 4N 4a 4hai1. haT1 these arrangements were reported, however, Colonel Healey told them that they could have no place in the line, and the other members of the committee on arrangements endorsed his views. They considered that mock funeral pageant was offensive to good which it might call up in the minds of the spectators, and vetoed the scheme with much promptness and emphasis. "The brewers of the city are to contribute fifty teams, drawn by four or more horses and with the wagons handsomely decorated to Wednesday nights demonstration. The Thespian club and the Register Chap er club, the latter being composed of em- ployes of the Register Publishing company, have also reported for the parade. The Chapel club announce that they will appear in the ranks with fifty men.
 ''The appeal from the committees for con- tributions of refreshments to entertain visit
 
 favorable responses. Still there will proba- ply be 50 large a number from outside the city to be fed that largely increased quanti- ty of donations in the refreshment line will be required to make the managers feel alto gether easy about properly discharging the duties of hospitality. Baked beans and sand wiches are donations which will be especially acceptable"
 The line of march has not been decided upon and will be arranged to-day.
 The Ingerson Phalanx will have Colts band of Hartford for tomorrow evening, and will probably go to Bridgeport tonight to take part in the parade there The invitation they received from the Young Mems Democratic club enjoins them to come and promises to kill the fatted calf for them One hundred guns were fired in Middle town on Saturday in honor of the Democratic victory. Henry Rich and William H. Prior were somewhat injured by premature ex- plosion. The Democratic campaign clubs invaded Portland last evening.
 The Democratic clubs in East Hartford eel ebrated last evening by a parade in that place. The Hancock corps (formed four years ago) joined in the procession There was general illumination by Democratic residents along the route of march. The Hartford Courant says: "A portion of the local Democracy paraded the streets on Saturday in celebration of the election @ of | Grover Cleveland. It was uniuue process | sion and carried one back to the days when ! the Ancients and HoIribles used to parade on | the Fourth of July mornings. There were | upwards of 2,0OO men and boys in the pro- ! cession. The campaign organizations, espe- cially the New Britain company, looked fair l ly well, but nothing can be said in praise of the remainder of the procession, as it was largely composed of the hoodlum ! elements, made additionally unattractive by uncouth costumes. There were numerous hQnnnTl Gn irnI Ir 4hnI 4o | make many Democrats who saw the proces- sion blush for their party. As a whole the parade was an undignifed affair, not even approaching the level of burlesque. Its march was through the principal streets of the city. A salute of one hundred guns was fired from the west park. Some of the pa raders in place of their usual number six hats wore huge tiles evidently procured to meet the requirements of the next morning :" The Branford people hit upon unique plan. A salute was fired there the other night with the understanding between both parties that the party that should win should pay the cost of the performance. The money has not yet been paid and both parties are waiting.
