New Ulm Democrats Rejoicing.

To the Editor of the Globe:
New ULM, Nov. 15.-The Democrats Of
Brown county claim that theirs is the banner
Democratic county of Minnesota, consider
ing It's increase in the vote cast for the Dem
ocratic ticket Four years ago Garfield
carried it by majority of $50 over Hancock.
In 1888 this majority was reversed aud twas
carried by majority of 354 for Bierman.
But 1884 was an 'off year" Other counties
formerly Republican, like Blue Earth, gave
Bierman a majority and the state gave Hub
bard only about l4000 majority. This year
the state goes Republican by 40, 600. The
other counties have fallen back into their old
lines, but Brown county was carried for
Cleveland by ten votes, change in four
years of 500 votes out of a total of about
2,400. This result is due TO hard work
The Democrats of the county not only claim
the banner, but they have the finest
organization of any county in the
state. They are led by a number of
active and able men who have devoted time
and energy to the work of organization.
While there are many who deserve credit,
special mention is due to T. E. Bowen, edi-
tor of the Sleepy Eye Herald; f. L. Randall,
c.. w. Heideman and E. G. Pahl, of New
Ulm.
Tonight the Democrats gathered at New
Ulm to celebrate the election Of Grover
Cleveland and Thomas A. Hendricks and
their own local success. Delegations were
present from the village of Sleepy Eve aud
Springfield, and hundreds from the country.
Nicollet county also sent in her quota aud
patrols were present from Tracy, Marshall,
and even more distant places. They con-
gregated at Turner-hall in dense throngs aud
at z O'Clock the Silver Cornet band COM
menced to play in front of the hail. Half an
hour later the display OF fireworks began, and
was continued for over an hour.
At O'Clock the battery under command
of Capt. F. Burg began the firing Of a ma
tional salute. With the sound of the first
gun the ranks were formed in front of the
hall under command Of Col. Francis Baasen
and six mounted assistant marshals. Five
hundred torches lit the brilliant procession,
and twenty-five transparencies were borne in
the line.
The streets and sidewalks were literally
packed by joyous and enthusiastic people.
The town was ablaze. The illuminations were
] beyond all expectations. Scores OF Indepen-
! dent Republicans joining with the happy
, Democrats in doing honor to the occasion.
The cannon doomed; rockets lit the air all
along the entire line of the procession: the
fcty was almost as light as day; red, green
and blue lights were burned at every street
corner: music filed the air, and tremendous
| cheers from the ranks and from the crowds
along the sidewalks greeted the day of iubi-
lee. The city of New Ulm, justly celebrated
! for her posing celebrations, has never be-
fore presented snch a scene.
Tue decorations of business houses and
residences, the elaborate transparencies
which adorned them, and the Examinations
in detail were too numerous to be given.
