II was gloiions affair and passed
of very pleasantly.
The Democratic demonstration In
this city was great success in every
particular. Il was one Of the largest
atrairs o. the kind ever attempted here,
The principal streets along the line
q march were y jam Of people whose
enthusiasm was uilboundel.
The decorations were very band
some, especially at night when the
numerals lights lent ap added charm
to their artistic effect.
The illumination and decoration Of
private houses was not confined 10 the
streets along the ronte but they were
general through the town.
Tho Afternoon procession formed on
John street and moved about three
o'clock over the routepublished in The
World. The Martinsburg City Band
and furnished, the music ably ahetted
andassisted the by Mckinley Tin Band
numerous private instruments Of more
or less harmony. The men in the pa
-rade decorated themselves TO their own
taste and many Of them looked pictures
que. The horses were MI strictly Dem
ocratic for personal reasons and with
their gay trappings stepped proudly
along.
In one wagon rode the twenty wise
virgins, representing twenty States
whowith theirlamps trimmed and bnrn-
ing, entered the Democratic Party ere
it was too late,
After long march the procession
disbanded in the Public Square and
things quieted down for little time
before whooping up glorionsly for the
night demonstration. And then
reinforced by many numbers and with
the added charm Of faring torches,
lighted transparencies and brilliant
illumination along the route, they had
it all over again. Every one Of these
staunch Berkeley Democrats have
been feeling especially Joyous ever
since the sth, even IL, as one of the
transparencies expressed it, . Poor
old Berkeley.is still in the sonp" and
they Let off their surplus feeling
and enfhused with wild and royal will
last night. They blew horns and sang,
-Four years more of Grover they
finally made it eight and shouted nm
til they were too hoarse to speak: They
felt like they were in it with both feet
and they made themselves heard. And
the youngsters, the hope of Democracy,
carried their torches higher. made more
noise and were prouder than anybody
efsesin town.
There we're . great many Transparent
cies and we managed to catch some Of
the inscriptions, as follows

Of course The WORLD was in it
with a Transparency.
TWAS late when the procession again
broke ranksat the Square andthe streets
were crowded until midnight. Detach-
ment Of our county friends babe the
town good night with whoopas they
left. and no doubt woke many still
echo on their homeward way when
their spirits got the better Of them.
