the Los Angeles Boom" The wagon IN
which rode the boys bore on it's sides,

Boys AS Rides at Democratic Whoop-
ups" while the horses bore design rep
resentlng Harrison as saying, "We'lI
sleep Together at the Foot, John China
man, My Joe." This part of
the procession was everywhere greeted
with cheers which the boys returned with
will.
OTHER DELEGATIONS.
The Santa Ana Band preceded the DEL
eyation from Anaheim, Santa Ana and
vicinity, which required eight cars to
bring to this city, and made an excellent
appearance. Pomona and vicinity, with
its two hundred delegates, each decorat-
ed with the bandana and badge, fol-
lowed, and Monrovia with its band.
which was only formed five weeks ago,
marched behind. The Santa Ana dele
cation arrived too late to procure torches,
but they were cheered for their devotion
to the cause as shown by their presence
in the Parade. The Cleveland and Thur
man Club, OF San Fernando, hundred
strong, was followed by the Working
mans Club, of this city, both adding to
the success of the affair. Then came the
Plata-Fina Club, of East Los Angeles.
and the First Ward Club, each bearing
transparencies with inspiring notices.
The Franco-American Club, French Club,
East Los Angeles Democratic Club, and
Boyle Heights Club were also in this
this division, as well as many Democrats
who belonged to no organization.
When the last torch bearer had passed
the citizens, and even the most enthusi-
astic Pepnblicans we're heard to remark
that the Republican parade, short time
since, with its 500 men in line was
the best that had occurred
up to that time but it was not to be COM
pared with the Democratic celebration
laat night in point of numbers or in ap-
pearance.
Among the banners carried were those
bearing the following notices: "Ameri-
can Protection and industry our motto "
"The Presidency not hereditary" IRE
turh the Public Domain" Hail to the
Chief" "Welcome home, "No section
alism, we will win, Cleveland and Thur
man will be elected" Economy and
Reform" "No monopolies in ours"
''No free trade but reduction of the
tariff, Protect the many not the few,"
Germany against China" Down with
the Anarchists" The German Club
bore sign which, translated, read
Cleveland loves wine, woman and
song" and the rest Of the couplet, "and
he who does not remains fool all his
life long,. might have been added.
A full list of the notices would .occpSse
more space than it is available. Int g
sufficient to say that there were in the
line 426 banners and transparencies.
many of them bearing four and some six
notices.
AT THE GRAND STAND.
The scene at the Grand Stand was
without parallel in the city's history.
The multitude crowded into every avail
able nook and corner in the territory
laid off for the meeting place and ex-
tended far into the streets beyond. The
temporary seats which bad been
ranged twelve tiers high on either side
of the platform were crowded to their
utmost capacity, the number of ladies'
present being far beyond the usual at
tendance at political congregation.
The platform was surmounted BY two
mammoth portraits of Cleveland
and Thurman, and was gaily dec
Grated with red, white and
blue bunting, while the National flag
foated proudly near the speakers table.
1t was occupied by the President of the
evening, Colonel John E. Platter, the in

Eugene German, Chairman of the
Democratic County Committee, who in
troduced the President of the evening,
Colonel Platter, who spoke briefly, as
follows:
"LADIEs AND GENTLENIEN-We are as
sembled here this evening not as serfs
ukder the sway of despotic Gear, but
as freemen to hear the enunciation of
the doctrines of political liberty by true
Democrats. We shall advance no new
theories but stand simply under
that broad canopy of Democracy with
hearts full of love for that constitutional
liberty which has been handed down to
us since the days of Washington" Mr..
Platter then directed the Secretary to
read the list of Vice-Presidents of the
evening, and after this had been done by
Mr.. Kearney the first orator of the eve-
ming the Hon. Reel B. Terry, candidate
for Congress for the sixth District, was
introduced amidst considerable enthusi-
asm.
