London FOrgete the Explosions
While She RejOiCes.

The siege of KhArtoum has been matter
of interest to the world. To England 1t has
been source of great anxiety. Shut up
within its confines, one Of her favOrite gen.
erals and contingent Of her braVest men
lived for months, able to send no tidings or
at best but frsgmentary reports OF their con-
dition, while to reach them with promises OF
succor was an impossibihty. There seemed
to be an unwarrantable delay on the part Of
the English Government in sending relief
to Gordon. The people grew impatient and
the newspapers csptious. Gladstone was
roundly abused, and the dislike at
home to his methods resulted in
impstienee abroad The Premier assured
the English nation that Gordon was safe;
that the preparations making for his succor
were ample, complete and in good time.
He was not to be moved from his plan by
the distrust of friends or the assaults of his
enemies.
After months the relief expedition started
on its march across the desert toward
Khartoum. Still the caviling continued
and did not cease until the news of Gen.
Stewards splendid victory sent the proud
blood into the eyes of the British lion.
Immediately succeeding this cheering
word came silence OF days
that grew into almost fort
night. Again the Premier was
attacked by the opposition press and
even his friends, encouraged by Stewards s
victory, began again to doubt. 1t was said
the relief expedition was suicidally small
and had been annihilated. Gladstone
quietly proceeded with his annual wood
cbopping." Yesterday news was received
from not only Stewart, but KhaFtOum Cor
don is safe. He has not been in danger al
any time. More than that, ho sends word
he could have held out for years.
With the 6ckleness of all April day Lon
don went wild and forget Stewards bravery
and Gordon's bulldog pertinacity to honor
the ssgacity of Englands greatest states
man, Gladstone.

A DEMOCRATIC LOVE FEAsr.

Not long ago our friends, the enemy, pre-
dlcted thatthe effort to perpetuate the Demo.
cratic Club would end in smoke. The boys
PAld no attention to this sort of pother and
reflection on then Affsrss but vent f;Obt on
ninding their own business ana S.,e,;,ad

arrangena-.s - s--h . manner Gnat the
smoke" burst into brilliant Democratic
fame last night so dazzling as to complete
y obscure the light that was alleged
to radiate from the LINCOLN club since Mr..
CLEyELASD's election.
The fret social series Of the club, last
night, at the Opera house was g regular
gusher. BGRRY SULLIVAN, RoBsoS and
CRANE, MAGGIE MTTcHELL. or any other
star, or stars, never made such hit or so
crowded the auditorium as did this initial
entertainment.
It was real Democratic affair, too, in every
particular. As for instance there were no
reserved seats, so that those who came first
were best served, as they should be. Then
the jam was as Democratic as the intensest
wish. The lady, with her escort who came
late, and expected to keep her sealskin
sacque unrufled was wofully mistaken.
But even that discomforture did
not keep her from staying
and enjoying the varied amusement. Be-
sides our local talent, the Hon. DANIEL B.
Lucas, of jefferson, and Judge A. H. HAY
MoxD, of Marion, very kindly aided the club
in diyersifying the entertainment BY short
and appropriate addresses. The presence
| in the city of these two Democratic Her
eules was quite happy coincidence. AL,
though the club is q partisan institu.
ton, these gentlemen avoided any ap-
peal to prejudice, but simply dis
cussed pure and plain Democracy
in the abstract and told OF its virtues and its
benefits alike to the government and to the
individual, not forgetting to laud the club
as il deserved tor its successful effort in in
! creasing and strengthening true JEFFERsO-
MAN Democracy.
Mr.. OSCAR SEELEY, the President Of the
Club. delivered happy. dignifed address
upon the object of the organization that
was only excelled by his excellent voca
effort. The REGISTER, on behalf Of the city
county and State Democracy, congrstulstes
the club on its work and its success. The
labor so well begun is but an earnest efort
of the heavy yield of fine fruit that is SURF
to fall in the harvest season of future politi
cal campaigns.
