i'm a Monster Demonstration.
1t was not for moment to be supposed
the Democrats could permit such remark
able victory to pass over without suitable
expression. And they did not. They ''ex-
pressed" last night and gave the city
jubilee as it had never seen, in a political
sense. before. phere were no special ar
engagements, no set program and no assign
ment of position, but with the same unan-
unity with which they went to the polls for
Dr. Ames, the people turned out last night,
10 jubilate and jOlify. Dodgers were scat
tered about in profuSion, during the after
noon and in response to the call came a
procession that for numbers, originality
ma enthusiasm eclipSed ali record.
Col. Glenn was marshal and on
foaming grey steed passed along the
line and marShalled the marchers just as
skillfully as he marshalled the voters thirty
hours before. These marchers, who were
made up of every age, class and condition
of life, from the newSb0y with his rude
transparency, to the retired business man
in his carriage, filled the streets from
Warrington avenue to the river ana at the
command joined the line at the city hall and
marched up Hennepin avenue, All the
central portion of the city was depselY
crowded with spectators, making pedes-
treaniSm on the sidewalks almost imposSi-
BILE. Portraits of Mayor Ames flashed in
every hat, while the air was vocal with the
tiny melOd of thousands of horns which
drowned the music of the bands and al
lowed only the cheers to rise above their
clamOr.
The procession, which was a mile in
length stretched out of sight on Henne-
pin avenue in either direction and was
-ovealed by the glare of torches in the hands
of all who could secure them. Hurriedly
prefaced but
POINTED AND PITHY
tranSparencies cleaned out at intervals and
a few of the carriages sported bunting and
japanese lanterns. One-third of the line
was mounted and section of these was
made up of the silk hat brigade. Dinner
pals showed with amusing frequence in the
line and occasionally on poles, elevated
with evident pride. The transparencies
referred to all of the leading points in the
campaign and included the following:
Rum, Romanism and Rebellion did it in
1884; 50 Head in 1886" 1.-The Lower
Strata Carries the Day." did You Hear
from the Dinner Pail Brigade?" 1.-The
Dead Uine) Rats" mo Pills For
Us" Mayor Pillsbury Told the
Woman Suffrage Convention He Could Buy
Foreign Votes at 50 Head" lone More
Tribune or Journal and the Majority Would
Have Been Is, OOO." And dozens of others.
The demonstration had for It's OBJECT an
expression of satisfaction as to the result of
the election, and it certainly did, in an up
roarious but not disOrderly way. Capt. A.
l.. Schafer had his Jumbo club out nearly
a thousand strong, and was as proud as
though he had been elected president. A
score of captains, each in the splendOr of
an improvised uniform. led their battaliOns
horse and foot, and half dozen marshals
refining fiery steeds pranced along the line
and enjoyed their prominence. Every
man in the procession was twenty
times repeated in the crowds on
the side. and the din of cheering, the uproar
of horns and blare of brass instruments was
deafening. Fireworks were displayed at
intervals along the route and the line was
kept bright by coloIed fires. AS the process
sion passed out Hennepin avenue and APP
preached the West hotel, cheer after
cheer rent the air. Mayor Ames had
appeared on the balcony and stood with un-
covered head while the line passed. AS
each division caught sight of the familiar
face and figure the enthusiasm grew and
spread and the cheers were continuous. Fol
two hours the march continued, ending BY
coming down First avenue and giving the
GLOBE a serenade and chorus of cheers.
There was no disorder, no improper up
roar, only hearty and enthusiastic ratifi-
cation OF the verdict at the polls
