ness. There was a torchllght procession
and a mass meeting at the opera house.
The Parade.
The procession did not equal in point
of numbers the demonstration ofthe even
ing preceding election day, but the en-
thusiasm was unbounded, evidencing that
realization is more soul inspiring than an
ticipation. The marchers were led by the
city band, while the 18th infantry band,
the G. A. r. drum corps and COW bell
and tin horn ~detachments furnished the
remainder of the music. There were py-
rotechnics and Examinations without limit
all along the line. Several new trans
parencies were borne aloft, notably,
"Grand-Pa's Hat" and Growers Col
lar" One banner read, Good by
Grover" and was doubtless furnished by
some one who has adopted phonetic or
biography.
During the parade over 100 salutes
were fred from two small pieces on East
Sixteenth street. Though the cannons

and shocking. The town was all excite
ment during the merry making. There
was loud cheering from the victors and
responsive yells from the unsuccessful.
The best of feeling prevailed throughout
the celebration. The winners were gen.
erous and joyous. Why envy or attempt
to mar the pleasures of the celebrants?
THE MASS MEETING. ,
On the opera house stage, handsomely
decorated for the occasion. were A. Gil
christ, Hon. f. E. Warren. Hon. Willis
Van Devanter, Hon. j. NJ. Carey, Col.
Allan Miller, Hon. w. A. Robins, Hon.
4. D. Kelley.
The military band had favored the aud
fence with one of its choice selections and
been applauded to the echo by the occu-
pants of the great auditorium when Wa.
Robins called the vast assemblage to or
der, and in the smooth sentences Of a
neat and brief address, presented Col. A.
t. Babbitt. who was TO ~oficiate as pre-
siding officer of the meeting.
THE cHLIRMAN.
Col. Babbitt's speech was, as are all his
remarks, pithy and sensible, but of course
partisan. He stated that the national
battle had been valiantly fought by the
contestants, but no Democrat should hesi-
tate to endorse the victory. Col. Rabbits
tribute to the Democratic soldiers was
urnrfhr tho uatoroa u,lo ,ttorol - H.,
~gentlemanly reference to federal officials
was quite unlike a few sentences on the
same subject uttered on the occasion of a
Republican rally some two months since.
GLEE CLUB.
The vocal band for the occasion includ-
ed Gen. j. W. Muldrum, R. n. Heath,
Prof. Geo. +. Inman, Lockwood Hebard,
DR.. w. N. Hunt, II. S. Bush, Fred Ran
som, Jno. L. Chenery, Sam'l Atkinson
and Marshall johnson. In introducing
his trained troupe Gen. Medium made
some funny remarks about THE LEADER,
but acted in bad faith towards this jour
nal. Yesterday afternoon he promised to
say that TIE LEADER was the leading
daily paper of the leading town Of the
leading territory of the leading nation of
the world and that it had full Associated
Press reports, many specials, all the local
news, good stories and a first class Job
office attached. Medium failed to do
this and will be sued for the recovery of
the $2.45 paid in advance for bis services.
HoN. A. D. KELLEY.
Friends, citizens of Wyoming" said
the progressive and enthusiastic Kelley
after being introduced, Il greet you with
fraternal regard. In your presence l bow
to the will of the people" There's a
beautiful sentence for you. 1t was con-
structed by Dan Dougherty, the silver
tongued, and first used when that orator
rcnominated Cleveland at St. LOUIS. The
remainder of Mr.. Kelley's address was
like the man himself-practicaI. 1t was
timely and genteel and was enthusiastically
applauded.
HON. A. GILCHRIST.
Cheyenne's well known merchant and
stock grower is a more able speaker than
many had heretofore supposed. He
handles topics of the hour clearly and
without prejudice, His views on the eff
feet of the change in the administration
on territorial affairs seemed applicable and
were certainly hopeful.
Song, medley-glee club.
HoN.T T. B.. ADAMS.
Mr.. Adams address was quite enter
tanning. Although the speaker had been
a Mugwump four years ago he was now
pleased to assist in celebrating the election
of Gen. Harrison. Mr.. Adams tariff re-
form ideas are just a little too advanced to
suit his political associates and were not
received with In marked degree of en-
