AGRAND PARADE.
REPUBLICAN ENTHUSIASM PRINTS
THE TOWN RED.
5000 People witness the Parade

Between five and eight thousand
people thronged the streets Of Milford
last Tuesday evening in honor of the
great victory Of the Republican party
at the polls in Delaware and the
United States. Special trains were
run from Wilmington and Lewes,
which brought 500 people; composed
Of enthusiastic Republicans as individ-
uals, and a delegation Of the Young
Mems Republican Club Of Whining
ton. Five bands Of music quickened
the patriotic feelings, and the thous-
ands Of flags, lanterns. red fires, can
dies. torches and window illuminations
served to form a brilliant picture ana
make an impression on memory.
Many private houses were decorated
deliberately from caves to foundation,
and the appearance Of Milford was
such as but few have ever seen. Ger
tainly the crowd was the largest by
several thousand that has gathered in
Milford for twenty years past. Not
one disturbance occurred TO mar the
pleasure of the demonstration and
while many were hilarious from ar
dent spirits, none were quarrelsome
or beastly drunk.
The verdict of the best class of Dem
ocrats was, that the parade was a sue
cess; and, barring that it celebrated
their defeat. it was pleasing. A few
narrow-minded, and mostly ignorant
Democrats, criticized the parade aud
disparaged it by crying "nigger;" but
they are the same class who claimed
they would buy the negro vote, and in
many instances sold their own.
The parade commenced to form at
$50 p. M, with its right resting on
Lake Avenue near the depot, and when
the order was given to march, it was
about mile in length. First came
the marshal and his aides, followed by
the speakers and prominent Republi-
cans in carriages. Then came the 1st
Regiment Band of Wilmington, lead
ing the Young Mems Republican Club
Of that city,who carried torches of red
FIRE that illumined the parade beauti-
fully.
A novel feature of the parade then
followed; it was composed of a mum
ber of floats that were typical. On the
first was handsomely constructed
log cabin with its hard cider and coOns.
Another had a small engine and print
ing press at work printing 'salt river
tickets" Others bore transparencies
and fancy decorations. In one wagon
was sheep with a transparency "nO
free wool" Many wagons were loaded
with veterans and men who voted for
Harrison in 1910. After these came
the Cedar Creek and Milford Republi-
can Clubs, headed-with IL band of
music. Then followed the Lincoln
Colored Republican Club with its own
colored band of music. Following
them were hundreds of horses and |
their riders, and the end of the paraGe !
was brought up by a representation of
"J0hn Bulp' with mo Free Trade"
pinned upon his back. When the
reached the grand stand |
erected in front of the Milford Hotel,
it was halted aud dismissed.
A multitude Of people packed Wal
nut and Front streets, at the intersec-
ton of which the stand was placed,
and heard speeches from Charles H.
Treat Anthony Higgins, J. S. Willis,
Geo. P. Fisher, Geo. Massey, James
H. G Knowles, J. r. Lof
land and others.

No picture of fancy could be more
beautiful to the eye than was the res

minated in honor of the great Repub-
lican victory. From every window
of the beautiful house double rows of

and decorations spoke the happiness
Of the host About eight o'clock the
crowd began to gather, and in re-
sp0nse to vociferous calling. Mr.. Will

notmakea speech but he desired every
one to pass into the dining-roOm and
partake of his hOspitality-which was
literally done. After this, VIM. P.

Two million Readers.

are a great many to claim for one publica-
ton, but it is undoubtedly true that as many
read The Youfh's COMPANION every week.
1t has a worldwide reputation, and is sent
al over the globe where the English Lam
guage is spoken or read. The reason for its
large circulation is found in its exceptional
value. It is always safe, pure, entertaining
and instructive. Its influence upon growing
boys and girls can hardly be over-estimated.
It is remembered affectionately by their par
ents who read it a generation ago.
We would call the attention of our readers
to the special offer of the publishers, an op-
portunity which comes but once year. Any
new subscriber to The Companion who will
send SIS at once, can have the paper free to
January 7, 1889, and for full year from that

THE annual inspection by Genera
Armstrong and Colonel Records. Of
Company B took place on Wednesday
evening last at their armOry. Gen'l
Kenney, Major Marshall and Lt.-Col.
Marshall were present. The inspec-
tion showed the States property and
the company in a deplorable condition.
Guns and accoutrements.w in bad
condition.; the clothing and other
stores damp and mildewed. The ar
mory roof was blown ffand the build
ing exposed to the elements. General
Armstrong spoke to the company in
unvarnlshed language, and his Gd-
dress should do both officers aud men
good. The order for this inspection
had been issued for two weeks, and yet
men presented themselves without
uniform. and to cap the climax. only
twenty-five out of roll of fifty-four
were present in any form. General
Kenney inquired of some of these men
why they were in the ranks not
equipped, and their reply was, that
they knew nothing of the inspection
until they came to the arnory. This
showed lack Of duty on the part of
commanding officers. One good re-
suit of the mOrtifying inspection was,
that the trustees afterward held a
meeting and authorized the roofing of
their armOry with corrugated iron;
which will be done at once.
