In Rtaze of Glory.

The StOuteSt-hearted Republican III Mill
neapolis lost his courage and crept home
dismayed last night, sick at heart and for
lorn. after the magnificent demonstration
with which the Democrats closed the CAM
paign. The Northwest has never seen any
thing in the way of political festival that
at all approached this regal affair, and it
was accepted as an earnest of the testi-
monial to be given Mayor Ames at his home
in Hennepin county on Tuesday next 1t
so far exceeded the Republican display that
it is generally believed to be an indication
of the excess of the Ames vote day after
tomorrow. The Sixth ward alone TUNED
out as many torches as were in the entire
Republican procession. and the Sixth and
First combined were as many as the Repub-
licans can possibly turn out at any future
time. The line extended from Second ave-
nue. north on Washington, up Hennepin to
Tenth; thence to Nicollet. down to Wash
ington, and down Washington to First
avenue. distance Of thirty long blocks, or
nearly two miles and half, and occupied
nearly an hour in passing the intersection
of Washington and Hennepin avenues
The Democrats had confidently relied upon
turning out I 900 men, but when that num-
Der of torches had been distributed and the
demand was as great as ever, it was known
the line contained al least II, 900 men.
The actual count gives more than that, but
as a few boys crept in, every allowance is
made and the number stands solid at
1000.
THE CROWDED STREETS
were a sight in themselves and 1t IS safe to
say over fifty thousand persons turned out
To view the spectacle and add their cheers
to those which, from the line. made the
city ring. From o'clock until s. the
music of bands and rattle of drums told of
the assembling squadrons and each street
crossing Washington. from Hennepin to
the viaduct, held its long line of clubs.
The numbers were so great as to be I'M
wieIdv and considerable time was required
in getting under way. The clubs from the
sixth and Seventh wards gave little parade
in their own vicinity before coming up
town. VII CHI occasoned still further delay.
but al $50 the line got under way. The
march was accompanied by the utmost en-
thusi asm along the line and in many places
by beautiful displays of fireworks.
THE IRANsPARENCIEs
were many and their notices peculiarly
apposite. Each club displayed its own
name, with a trite line expressive of its
sentiments. the crowd cheering as the mat
ter was read aloud by hundreds of voices.
Everything WIS Ames. Rice and the county
ticket while every language spoken in
Minneapolis was brought into requiSition
to express the feelings of the different ma
tionalities. English. Morse, Swede,
French and German notices were
conspicuous and the names of candidates
on all the tickets occupied prominent
places. As the name of Anes came INTO
sight on one transparency after another.
