A SPLENDID RALLY.
The Democrats Greet the
Famous Orator Grady.
A GREAT ENTHUSIASTIC CROWD
He Delivers an Eloquent Address al
the PaviliOn-A FOrerunner
of Victory.

Long before the hour appointed for the
grand Democratic parade in honor Of T.
F. Grady last night, the thoroughfaref
along which the procession was to pass
we're lined with an anxious and ex-
pectant throng. Owing to the number ol
applicants for place in the line, some
little delay was experienced in starting,
but was compensated for by the admir-
able manner inwhich everything went off.
Those who looked down Spring street
about fifteen minutes to 8, saw in the
distance a mass of waving lights, and
ever and anon rocket would speed its
way heavenwar6 and burst into shower
of golden rain made still more effective
by the clouded sky above.
On prancing steeds the advance
guard of the pageant came into view
consisting of the marshals, who wore
sashes and rosettes as insignias of Office,
and good-naturedly cleared back the
crowd, who pressed forward into the
roadway to see what was coming. Then
followed Meine's band, with J. Harry
Conlan looking very dashing as tam bour-
major, and directly after the musicians
marched the stalwarts OF the Iroquois
Club, wearing hatbands indicative of
their organization. A piper in Highland
costume came next and then the French
American Club, which preceded the
Tammany Hall. This organization made
a very effective showing and were deter
mined to make the parade a success.
Its members carried number of illumi-
mated notices, among which were
noted, "Tammany Hall greets Brother
Grady" "The Chinese must 60 and so
must Sackville- West" "Grover, Grover,
you've got walk-over," "Four, four,
four years more," and these met with
commendatory plaudits as the on-lookers
read them as they passed by. Doh's
band playing stirring tune next fol-
lowed. showing the way for the S. M.
White Club, the German-American
Club and the Fourth Ward Club. This
latter body was preceded by G. Haight
and E. Englandle, of the Manhattan
Club, who were attired as Zouaves, and
played lively tattoo on kettle-drums as
they marched along. The Plata Fina
Club, of East Los Angeles, was next in
line, its members attired in their striking
uniforms, and the evolutions they per-
formed as they marched along
showed how we'll they were trained,
and won for them hearty applause.
The were followed by the Cleveland and
Thurman Club and the Spanish -Ameri-
can Club, after which came the popular
Reliance Club under command of its
President, w. L. Price. 1t was eighty
six strong and the handsome uniforms
of its members were much admired. The
rear was brought up by the Garibaldi
Guards, the Fifth Ward Club, the Santa
Fe Club and the Workingmen's Demo.
cratic Club, the review taking twenty
minutes to pass any given point in spite
of the fact that the pace was pretty
lively Que.
THE SCENE AT THE PAVILION
Beggars anything in that buildings his
tory. Long before the procession arrived
every seat was crowded and the addi-
tional host was compelled to find stand
ing accommodation where best it might,
the result being that every available foot
OF vantage-ground was covered. The
stage was handsomely decorated and was
occupied by the officers of the evening
and number of the members OF the
Democratic County Central Committee.
After the orchestra had played an open
ing tune those who were watching the
platform saw q sturdy-looking in
dividual attired in the conventional
black appear from the wings, and thun-
der of applause went up as he was re-
cognized as Mr.. Grady, the orator OF the
evening. When the clamor had subsid-
ed, Mr.. Eugene German, Chairman of
the County Central Committee, advanced
and introduced Major Geo. S. Patton. as
president of the evening. Messrs. T. J..
Cuddy and A. G. Clarke were called up
on to act as secretaries, and the latter
named gentleman read the following list
of officers:

G. CLARKE, Secretaries.

Great amusement was created by the
appearance of Mr.. T. Springer, on the
platform. He carried long pole sur
mounted by a red bandana on the top of
which sat a live rooster which, excited
by the glare Of the footlights, stood up
and tapped his wings.
Major Patton, in few pleasant words,
announced that Miss Jennie Metzler
would sing "The Red Bandana," where.
upon that young lady advanced to the
footlights and rendered the political re-
frain in excellent style. She looked very
charming fn black crepe costume and
at the conclusion of her song met with
such an enthusiastic reception that she
was compelled to give an encore and
sang political version of "I've got Lit
tie List" rI
The President of the evening then
made short address. He congratu-
lated the Democracy ON the excellent
showing it made and said that, although
the campaign is far advanced, the ranks
were yet as bold and unbroken as on the
first day of the fight. After slight
reference to the Republicans dying effort
with the Murchison letter, be introduced
as the orator OF the evening ''the De
mosthenes of American Democracy, the
Hon. Thomas F. Grady"
