anornlng the panner tHaI neaueu 1ho PlO-
cession taking the Southside by storm last
night.
The novelty of Billy Brennen's grand
march seemed to take we'll. and at every
stopping place crowd awaited him. The
further along the route be went the larger
was the crowd ard the more intense the en-
thusiasm, until up in his old baliwick il
took the form of an ovation Cheers greeted
every speaker, and the procession passed
through red lights seemingly without end,
while the sky rockets and roman candles
added their mite to the affair and frightened
the pranciug horses.
The party lett the rooms of the County
Democracy, on Smithfield street. atf:2O' In
the first carriage were Mr.. Bremen, Fatrlch
Foley. william Walls and Thomas Mullen.
The second carriage was occupied by lin
otbv J. OLeary. Jr, P. w. Joyce, Frank
Kirk and o. f. Mccarthy, OF Luzerne
couutv. Ia the third carriage were George
II. Hoffman, of Philadelphia, J. NJ. Miller,
John Cofey and Timothy Hayey. Dennis
ISovle and John Lytle occupied another car
rage. while still another carried Harry
Beltzhoover and members of the press to the
scene of the fray.
THE BAND WAGON ON FIRE.
The fireworks began a little too soon to
please the party, especially the band. A
torch on the trout of the band wagon be-
came displaced and fell on the canvas
cover OF the wagon, causing quite blaze.
This occurred just before crossing the Point
bridge. and the entire party stopped while
the manipulato- of the bass horn "blew"
the fire out. This was the only incident
that marred the pleasure of the occasion,
and the Southsiders seemed glad to see their
old friend. even if hey did have to wade in
mud to see him.
The first stop was made at Bridge street,
where not over 200 people were ready to give
me party an enthusiastic start. Mr.. Bren-
men was the first speaker, and he began by
saving that he was not ashamed to come out
ard meet tie people OF his district and tell
tnem how he stands on the questions of the
da-. He promised that If he was elected
and a committee called on him he would
give them his attention. He also attacked
Mr. Dalzeli's record, and questioned some
{ the proceedings of the House in which
bat gentleman figured prominently. Con-
nuing. he said:
JUMPING on HIS OPPONENT.
Now. my friends. if you do decide to send Mr..
aIzgn back to Congress he will do you no
BOD The next House is almost as sure as
tie 70 be Democratic and he will be of no
ore use than a wooden tobacco sign. They
il urobahly pnt him on the alligator COM
I5tee'' which nasn't met since the revolution.
ld take l. he'll be on the tail end OF that.
This little wi.icism seemed to catch on so
ell that at every stopping place Mr.. Bren-
en- sprung it and with good effect every
ime His speech closed by asking for
-gfes but he SAID he would submit TO the
Ayill of the people and not ask to have Dal-
AeIl unseated as the Republicans had un-
Esated Democr It's in the present Congress.
II Patrick Foley followed and stated that he
Vas puddler and had voted in that ward
7r 30 years. but this was the first time he
n sd ever bad a chance to vote for a genuine
Ia boz candidate.
The first carriage then drove on, and Mr..
D. J. Mccarthy, of Luzerne county, made
S-oeech. He SAID at the beginning: 81
e 1me from the East bringing you tidiDgs of
r.eat Joy. The miners are up in arms, and
With their assistance you will be able to de-
throne that hvdra-headed monster, Matthew
stanley Quay" The speaker then pro-
ceeded with talk on tine campaign issues.

At Iwenty-sixth street nearly ], 900 people
we're present, and the enthusiasm ran wild.
At the last stop on Twenty-eighth street an
