DEMOCRATIC DAY AT CINCINNATI.



CINCINNATI, o, Oct 26-Democratic day
at the centennial was great success. The
streets were full of strangers at an early
hour and all were bent in the direction OF
the exposition buildings At 10 o'clock the
galleries of the music hall began to fill up
the people remaining in their vantage seats
until the paraiing Democracy marched in.
Judge Thurman was literally besiegsd all
morning by friends, who called at the Grand
hotel to pay their respects. At u the parlor
doors were thrown open and until the time
of his departure for the reviewing stand on
the centennial grounds, the judge shook
hands with hundreds of ladies and gentle
men who crowded in TO see him.
Hon. John G.. Carlisle arrived at the hotel
at / p. m. and accompanied Judge Thur
man and party to the reviewing stand where
they renamed until tue procession had
passed by. Fully 2l0 Democratic clubs were
in line, mostly uniformed The paraders
were one hour and thirty minutes in passing.
During tins time Judge Thurman remained
standing with head uncovered The clubs
marched into Music ball from Elm street
and were greeted with tremendous ova-
ton.
The crowd inside the buildings when the
exercises began Is variously estimated at
from 80, 0l0 to Is 700 When Judge Thur
man rose to speak children clustered
| around him and waved bandanas. 1t was
several minutes before quiet could be re-
| stored sufficiently for Mr.. Thurman to be
| heard. His speech was brief, and began
| with compliments to the managers for their
| success in getting up the demonstration, to
90 1,s,
/ for their enthusiasm The tariff was dis
| cussed in a line of argument similar to that
| given heretofore, and the Democracy de
| clared the party of the laboring man. On
this point he said:
| "Ali the privileges they enjoy, all the hap
| piness they have on earth, Is derived from
| Democratic principles, which have cheered
| them in their struggles and made them sue
cesssful and happy and prosperous What
gave you the right to votel Democratic
| principles 1t is all in one sentence, written
| by the hand of the father of Democracy,
| Thomas jefferson. Tint sentence is all men
are created free and equal. This is the foun.
datlon stone Of Democracy Democracy
| sprang from that sentiment That sentiment
has done all for the human race in the way
| OF ameliorating their condition from the day
| that sentence was written down to this day y
While the judge was speaking a gentleman
in the audience presented to Mr.. Thurman a
horseshoe, which be said he Lad picked up
and that it was emblematic Of victory. q
will nail it on my door to keep away the
witches that preach protection. [Cheers and
appIause'.l

admiring acquaintance who endeavor to

Prince of Wales, who has become disguised
with the slavish imitation of his dress affected
by dudes and Washers, Last year he took
effectual means to put a stop to this folly
He ordered from some unknown source an
ugly suit Of dirty blanket tweed He then
put on a hideous red shirt with blue collar,
a soft felt hat with a low cream colored
crown and band Of orange ribbon, and
thrust a silk handkerchief into his breast
pocket The costume was something fearful
to behold, but it effected its purpose, as he
had it all to himself. 1t was so hideous that
even the cads would not copy it-Chicago

JACKSONVILLE Fla, Oct. 81 There has
been an increase in the number of cases Of
yellow fever at South jacksonville and a

leaving and the town will soon be deserted.
The resident physician said that a number of
cases of fever there wers not yellow fever,
but physicians from this city declared that it
was yellow fever, and Wednesday the resi-
dent doctor acknowledged that it was yellow
fever The alarm of the people at South
Jacksonville was increased by another
death yesterday morning, making five
altogether The people have closed their
houses, thrown away their clothing, and
gone to the woods. The physicians say this
is a very foolish move as medical aid can
not reach them there in case Of sickness Last
night South Jacksonville like other suburbs,

The situation at Enterprise causes great
alarm. The president Of the board of health
there telegraphs that there are nine people
now sick, six Of them in critical condition.
He asks for an additional physician and other
aid. The surgeon general has ordered DR..
Posey to proceed to Enterprise at once, and
two nurses have been sent from Sanford.
There was quite an increase in the number
of new cases reported here yesterday, soven-
ty-onebeing reported-the largest for any
one day in the past four weeks. This in
crease isparJly accounted for by the fact that
one or wo physicians have reported two days
