The Democratic excursion and rally at
Pasadena last night was glorious sue
cess. 1t was gotten up under the auspices
of the Iroquois Club and the immediate
direction Of Mr.. Sid Lacey, who appointed
as committee of arrangements, Messrs.
D. ]. Tobin, T. J. Mccarthy, P. ]. Mac
Manus, Stewart and DR.. Choate. These
gentlemen left nothing undone to insure
the success of the turnout, and TO their
untiring efforts the thanks of all inter-
ested are due. A special train was char
tered and at z O'Clock, the hour appointed
for the start, goodly throng, numbering
many ladies, had assembled at the First
street depot and boarded the cars that
were in waiting. But the host was to
come. A procession had been for med
up town, and soon the glare of hundreds
of fambeaux were seen in the distance,
and, marching to the music of Doh's
band, came the representative Democracy
of Los Angeles. The four passenger
coaches failed to furnish accommodations
for all, and as the train steamed out of
the station, ringing cheers went up from
the crowd assembled at the depot, and
met with hearty response from all on
board. At the Downey Avenue depot
another contingent was in waiting, head
ed by the Plata Fina Club of East Los
Angeles, and when they were all aboard
the party numbered fully 500. As
the train sped through the inter
vening country on the way to Pasadena it
met with glowing reception from the
many settlements. At Lincoln Park
large bonfire was burning and here the
train stopped and another detachment
crowded on, headed by the well. known
figure of Major Patton. As Pasadena
came in sight an indication Of what was
to be was given. The depot was aglow
with lights and when the train pulled up
it was evident that the whole city had
turned out. The crowd extended far
back in dense mass and the square was
lit up by the torches of the Pasadena
Democratic Club, who cheered Justify as
the visitors alighted. A procession was
soon formed and the grand parade began.
The Reliance Club OF this city under
command of President w. l.. Price,
marched in the lead, it's members being
all uniformed and making a very fine
showing. Then came Doh's band, fol-
lowed by the Iroquois Club, headed by
Sid. Lacey and Major Patton. A canvas
on which was painted huge rooster was
borne aloft by Henry Schwanecke, and
preceded the standard Of the organiza-
ton under which marched a body of
good sterling Democrats. Then came a
carriage in which was seated the orators
of the evening, Lieutenant. Governor s.
M. White and the Hon. r. F. Del Vale
and Judge Eaton and Mr.. John Moriarty.
The Pasadena Club was next in line, and
is evidently very strong organization,
for those who marched under it's colors
numbered over hundred. The city
band was next and the column
wound up with good detachment
of "irregulars," who were, however, as
enthusiastic as any in the line. The
route taken was through the principal
thoroughfares and all those who were
not in the procession we're certainly in
the crowds that lined the sidewalks and
shouted approvingly from the windows
of buildings overlooking the scene as the
procession went by. Colored fires were
lighted all along the line of march and
added weird effect, while the lustv
cheers that were given in one voice for
Cleveland and Thurman thrilled the
hearts Of all who had the good luck to be
present. The objective point was the
Haymarket, and here a grand
stand had been erected, affording, in
addition to q vantage ground for the
speakers, seating accommodation for
hundreds of which the ladies present
were glad to avail themselves.
AT THE HAyMARKET.
The clearing was soon we'll filed, and
various estimates OF the numbers present
figure that the attendance numbered be-
tween 5000 and 1000. The stage was
occupied by the officers of the evening
and number of prominent Democrats,
among whom could be seen nearly all
the candidates on the city and county
ticket. 1t was $3.50 when Mr.. Auchen-
paugh OF the County Central Committee
raped on the table and the meeting
came to order. Judge B. S. Eaton of
South Pasadena was called to the chair
and Mr.. j. M. Shawhan appointed to the
honorary position of Secretary. Judge
Eaton in few we'll chosen words ex-
pressed his qualification at being called
upon to preside over such a magnificent
meeting, and then introduced as the
first speaker OF the evening the Hon. R.
+. Del Vale. When the gentleman
named advanced to the front the enthu-
siasm of the gathering broke bounds.
Cheering both loud and prolonged rent
the air, and a call for "Three cheers
for Del Valle!" were responded
to with a will. When quietude
was finally obtained, Mr.. Del
Vale commenced what proved to be a
very telling address. He spoke in his
best style, warming to his work in a man
ner that kept his auditors in state of
indescribable enthusiasm, and it was with
difficulty that he was able to conclude,
as cries go on!" "Go on!" rang out
whenever he spoke of resuming his seat.
He first expressed his qualification at
seeing such an outpouring at Pasadena,
and then explained that he had not come
to fight with any one or any party, but
simply to speak Of matters in which
every patriotic citizen should be inter-
ested. "The hour has passed" he said,
" for entering into q scrutiny of the
