New YORK, June 19.-Thed day broke
auspiciously for the formal welcome
TO Bartholdi's great statue of Lib
erty." The sky was cloudless and the
rays of the June sun were tempered by
a gentle southwest wind. Along the
lower river fronts and the Battery
wall great crowds gathered early in
the day. As the morning wore on, the
multitude increased. Over the waters,
which sparkled brightly, all sorts
of gayly decked craft sped hither
and thither. They swarmed with
human life, and many carried
small bands of music. The tall
buildings in the neighborhood OF
Bowling Green, notably the Stock Ex-
change and also several OF the dwell
ing-houses, displayed the stars and
stripes. Here and there might also be
seen the national colors of France
Governors Island looked like a great
emerald gem. Thescene in the harbor
was one OF the liveliest description.
Nearly every vessel, small and large,
waved the tri-colOr and the stars and
stripes, and all were dressed up, so to
speak, for the occasion.
When the vessels that were to escort
the Isere to Bedloe's Island arrived in
the lower bay, the water was swarm
ING with craft, and as far as the eye
could reach there were vessels without
number. Every sort Of a vessel had
been pressed into service by ambitious
sight -seers. Soon volumes of smoke
were belching forth from the tunnels OF
the Isere, her propeller began to
revolve, and she was headed in
the direction OF Bedloe's Island. The
French man-of-war LAHORE headed
the procession. Soon her gunners
opened the salute OF honor, by firing
twenty-one guns in the short space Of
sixty-one seconds Hardly had the

citizens caucus. The citizens caucus
wa gotten up and organized by Demo.
Gratis and Republicans, and a mixed
ticket Of Democrats and Republicans was
nominated. The Democrats who took
part in the caucus simply refused to be
whipped in by the would-be bosses. We
understand an undetermined fight is to
be made upon the editor of the INTER.

A Democrat was chosen chairman.
Three we'll known Democrats were put
upon the ticket. The Democratic caucus
sat until the citizens had finished; then
it nominated a ticket, choosing three
Republicans, but refusing to nominate
the leading Democrat on the citizens
ticket.
We understand that Mr.. Ferguson is
to be disciplined; that is, he is to be sent
to the foot of the class. He is ".no good
Democrat unless he submits to party
castigation; he is "no good Democrat"
unless he consults the little bosses; he is
mo good Democrat" if he has mind
enough, n enough, independence
enough to do, and act, and think for
himself, and Bob isn't deficient in m
of these qualifications. So he is to be
disciplined.
God forbid that Devils Lake, or Ram
sey county, or Dakota, or the Nation
should have a majority who so love to
grope in darkness; who will not take

who refuse to move with the tide;
