Grand block, so that the scene IN tnat
vicinity from O'Clock until the time for
starting was
ANIMATED AND BRILLIANT.
Each club had one or two Transparent
cies. and the lights from the torches
threw a titful glare into the eyes of the
crowds of curious spectators who lined
both sides of the street. The notices
upon each bit of Illuminated cloth were
read with interest, and we're all of them
most appropriate, and elicted on all
sides most favorable comment. Among
the transparencieS were noticed such
notices as True and Safe;'' "A Pa
triot Soldier-Eugene NJ. Wilson,"
''FOr GOVernOr-NO 5 in Ours; Labor
ing Men Demand Rice, Cleveland and
Thurman;'' "Daniel Buck From Blue
Earth for Lieutenant Governor Our

"FOr Peoples Choice, Edmund Rice;"
"Tariff on Rice. 5000 Majority in 1SSS;"

Support of the Government" Fifth
Ware Bohemian Club" ''Mein Dog
Schneider Vas Gone Dead" "Vere Vas

Unite on Rice" 1.-The Twins are for
Wilson, and many other well executed
notices full OF timely hits.
The clubs were all OH hand by S:15,
and at 500 the procession, under the
marshalship of Col. William Crooks,
started, and moved over the following
line of march: From Grand Opera
House block Oh Wabasha street to Sew
enth street, to Seven corners, down
Third street to Sibey, to Sixth street,
to the Ryan hotel.
The streets were lined with spec
tators, and, as the 1000 Democratic
voters passed in review before the
crowds of the curious, the applause and
cheering was continuous until they
drew up in line under the Sixth street
balcony at the Ryan.
In the lobby the next CONGRESSMAN
from the Fourth district had been
HOLDING AN INFORMAL LEVEE
for a half hour No better indication of
the uend of popular opinion could have
been found than by keenly observing
the warmth and cordiallty with which
Mr.. Rice was greeted on all sides. He
reached the city travel-stained and
tired at an early hour yester-
day morning, and last evening was
the first opportunity which presented
itself for the voters of the county to
do him honor. There were cOnServa-
tive business men, capitalists and
politicians surrounding him in an
effort to grasp him by the hand. and
assure him of personal support.

O'Brien and John w. Willis. Mr.. Rice
chatted atfably with all, and had a
pleasant word to say to each man as he
came to offer his congratulations.
As soon as the distant strains of music
warned the crowd of the approach of
the procession a general rush was made
for the Sixth street balcony. Windows
upon that side of the house we're thrown
up, and out of each leaned the heads of
the guests of the hotel, who Joined
with hearty good will in the ensuing
enthusiasm.
Edmund Rice, under the escort of a
guard of honor, stepped out on the bal
cOny. and his appearance was the sig
nal for hearty cheer from the crowd
below. Many well-knOwn men from
cities were also awarded posts of honor,
and after brief review of the process
sion and a short Serenade the formal
welcome home to Hon. Edmund Rice
was inaugurated.
As soon as the clubs had arranged
themselves in points of vantage, so that
each club could hear to advantage, John
w. Willis slept to the front of the bal
cony. and. in behalf of the clubs, pre-
sented the next congressman in the fol-
lowing well-choseD words:
