Crate atthe Rink.
Agreeably to programme the Young
Mems Democratic Club, with the Opera
House band, gathered at the clubs
headquarters on Twelfth street last
evening, and from there marched down
Main street over the creek and back up
Market. There were in line twenty files
of three men each, with about sixteen
threes in the nice black uniform OF the
Y. NJ. d. @. The band OF course made
good music and the club marched fairly
well. At two or three points red fire
was burned rs they passed.
They came up to Sixteenth street and
filed into the Capitol rink, where good
crowd had already gathered. When al
got in, the rink was probably half full
and the unocCupied room was taken NJ
by two or three little girls swinging on
ropes depending from overhead, man

the campaign OF 80, and the band
There was so much confusion that the
opening remarks OF President G. G.
Hannah, OF the Central club, were
scarcely audible beyond the stage. New
ertheless he was heartily applauded. He
wound up by introducing Col. Robert
White, who kept the enthusiasm alive,
paid glowing compliment to theticket
and did not dwell on the platform.
Col. Arnett followed. He made q
speech which evidently pleased his
Democratic hearers. He said: "That
man who says the Democratic party has
taken a step in the direction OF free
trade, utters a lie" whereat the crowd
cheered mildly.
After Col. Arnett retired amid APP
plause, the band struck up "Dixie," and
the crowd went wild, yelling and waving
hats, canes and red handkerchiefs.
Hon. Alfred Caldwell followed, and rs
the kids had abandoned their play
ground in the rear OF the hall by this
time, he was heard to better advantage.
He was received with the same hearty
enthusiasm as the othersi indeed, the
applause reached THE high water mark
while he spoke.
State Senator B. II. 0xley, OF Charles.
ton, then spoke little piece, and John
O. Pendleton was presented. His voice
was audible 10 all in the hall. He com,
pared the protective thrift with the
''robber barOns" Of feudal ages, and in
the next breath said, II am projections

future.
The band played an bet my money

The speaking oyer, the crowd and

the platform, besides the speakers
named, were Secretary Alex. Updegraff'
OF the club, Uncle John Boring, Mr.. NJ
Reilly, Col. I. P. Shallcross, Mr.. William
Myles and one or two others. The dec
orations OF the hall, in flags and eyer
green, with pictures of Cleveland and
Thurman over the stage, were pretty
and in very good taste, rejecting credit
on Messrs. Frank Jepson and p. l.. Kim
berry, who put them up.
In the afternoon there was not much
enthusiasm. Lots OF Democrats wore
red bandanas and Cleveland badges, and
a cannon was fired on the hill near the
crematory for several hours.
