DEMOCRATS CELEBRATE.
They Make the Qualification Unanimous,
and Turn Out, Too.
A UNIQUE PROCESSION,
Made Up Largely Of Defeated Candidates
and Other Election Mourn
erS.


can victory has not been confined to
the Republicans. The Democrats have
been forced to admire its magnitude and
symmetry, the close attention to every
detail displayed in its construction.
AT first they were paralyzed, then dis
mayed. next disheartened. Finally
came the reaction. The defeat was so
complete that it became positively
funny. Heavy losers paid .heir bets
without waiting for official counts. De-
Heated candidates came up smiling, and
declared it was all a dream and that
in reality they had not been running
for office at all. The American sense
of humor asserted itself, and the whole
affair came to be looked upon as huge
Joke. Republicans and Democrats felt
Differentiated toward each other and
fraterniZed as they never had before.
So. by the time Saturday arrived the
spirit of jubilation had become infec-
tious and all classes of citizens ha de-
termined to join in the celebration.
This led to an imprOmptu procession
of Democrats, which for uniqueness
and originality took the cake, as
the expression goes, and. although 1t
did not equal the Republican demon
stration III numbers, it certainly at
tracted as much attention, and created
even more enthusiasm. The procession
formed on Washington avenue north,
with its right resting on Second avenue
north, and the line of march was the

There were but few torches. owing to
the fact that the Democratic torches
had been sold to the Republicans, but
the procession was made visible by the
burning of election tickets. pastors and
badges on the sidewalks en- route.
Many of the transparencies and banners
created considerable amusement, among
them being ''Grover, you're rolled
