denied majority of 1,745 in 1886. turned
out en- masse tonight. The reception
amounted to an ovation, and said
as plainly as if shouted from the
Threats of the thousands that
turned out. "Well done, good and
faithful servant" Shortly after 2
o'clock the Democratic clubs came
marching up to the headquarters at
Central park from various quarters of
the city until thousand torches were
in line. Hundreds more could have
been used had not the supply been ex-
hauSted, but the workingmen who could
not march with torch lined the street
and manifested their approval of the
demonstration by frequent cheering as
the clubs marched by. Several brass
bands were in the procession and the
streets were
BRILLIANT WITH RED LIGHTS.
The procession included the FRS
Ward Democratic club, Polish Demo
cratic club, Fourth Ward Democratic
club, Scandinavian Democratic club,
Cleveland and Thurman Democratic
club, Young Mems Democratic club,
German Democratic club, and many
who are not members of any club.
Conspicuous among the Examinations in
the parade were ''Save the Tariff on
Whisky, Tobacco and OleOmargarine,"
"Trusts are Largely Private Affairs"
"Jingo JIM" Its a Condition Which
Confronts us. Not a Theory. I'VE Have
Paid War Taxes TwentY-Six Years."
Eugene Wilson Did Not Buy Up His
Nomination. "This is No DOllar-a-Day
Crowd" and many others. The parade
was witnessed by thousands. After
marching about the principal streets
the procession stopped at Philharmonic
hall, where only a small portion of the
vast multitude were able to crowd in,
and hundreds were compelled to go
home.
About 9 o'clock Hon. II. W. Lamber-
ton called the immense assembly to
order and nominated Senator G. f. Buck
as chairman. In taking the chair Mr..
Buck said: IL have The honor of intro
ducing a gentleman with whom most of
you are acquainted, and the most of
whose life is an open book, not only to
the people of this city, but of the
whole congressional district. You all
know the eXcellency of his character.
| may be permitted to remark that this
political contest is the most important
one that has taken place since the or
ganizatiOn of this government. We are
called upon not only to determine who
shall represent us in the presidential
chair and in congress, but it's time
when we are called upon TO determine
the character of the government. There
is a question that affects the integrity
of our government. The important
question is whether the people are TO
continue to pay tribute to the benef-
Charles of the government. The i'm
pOrtant question is whether the labor
ing man is to enjoy the
FRUITS OF HIS INDUSTRY
and whether we are to be free men in
fact as well as in name. TwOyears ago
Judge Wilson was elected to congress.
The Democratic party unanimously re-

honor of introducing Judge Thomas

wild as Judge Wilson stepped
forward and round after round
of applause greeted him as he
began: "Fellow citizens, it is difficult

there are principles at stake that touch
the interests of every one of us, and if
President Cleveland has done no other
good thing he has set us to thinking,
and all over the country the people are
thinking of the great tariff question.
President Cleveland has been four years
in office, and he has walked straight Tor
ward as noble, unasSuming man. But
he is firm as rock in what he believes
to be right. Opposed to him is Gen.
Harrison, against whom nothing can be
said personally: During, ThuEman's
whole public life he has been recOg-
niZed as
THE PEER OP ANY MAN,
and his whole life has been one conflict
against mOnopolies. Against him is
Levi p. Morton, man of
very ordinary ability, and were
it not for his purse he never would have
been nominated for any Office. We
have at the head of our state ticket
Eugene NJ. Wilson. l have known him
ever since he was boy, and no man
can say a mean or dirty thing against
Eugene Wilson. Against him is Mr..
Merriam, who would give a whole
