DEMOCRATIC WHOOP- UP.
A Noisy Street Parade and Speeches
at the Plaza.
Cow-Bells and Roosters Galore-Con-
gratuIations Over the Recent
Land-sllde--The Oratory.

The local Democrats had a great
"whoop-up' Saturday night over their
recent victory.
The festivities opened up with
triumphal march, and noisy one it was,
too.
The streets were crowded with people
who were curious to know what Demo-
cratic jollifcation was. They had seen
plenty of Republican ratifcations, but the
Democrats had had so few opportunities
to get out and celebrate victories that
everybody apparently was interested in
seeing what one looked like.
So far as looks went there was not much
TO the parade. But the noisel 1t was
enough to set a populace crazy. And
there were more Democrats to be found
that night than any one ever supposed
existed in Sacramento County.
The procession formed at the Old Pa
vilion, and started off promptly at 1870
o'clock, moving up NJ street to Ninth,
thence to j, to Second, to X, to Tenth
and to the Plaza. A squad of police,
some on horseback and some afoot,
headed the line and then came Grand
Marshal w. S. Leake and his aids, all
mounted. The aids We're: W. II. Will
Gardner. Joseph Hahn, William Nc
Laughlin, Mike Desmond, Charles
Trainor, Maurice Sheehan, William
Zoller, J. w. Hughes, Charles Leonard,
Il. A. Bovyer, NJ. r. Beard, j. E. Tade,
Oscar Flint, w. o. Bowers, J. C. Kelly,
Captain NJ. j. Burke, John Hantzman, j.
NJ. Sullivan, Mike Corcoran, NJ. j. Kill
gariff, Ed D. Tesreau, NJ. J. Scanlan, r.
&. Irvine and j. G. Davis.
After these came several carriages con-
tanning the speakers of the evening,
elected candidates and others, and they
were followed by the Hussar Band. Then
came the noise 1t was composed of
nearly four blocks of enthusiastic Demo
Gratis. Nearly everybody carried a Re-
publican torch, wore a rooster on his hat,
blew tish-horn, ratified a cow-bell, shot
off Roman candles and yelled like Co.
manche. There was no attempt at orderly
marching. 1t was generally understood
that there would be none, as everybody
was out for a good time and to make as
much noise as was posSible-and both
were accomplished. The bands selec-
tions could not be heard thirty yards
away. There was also drum and fife
corps in about the middle of the parade
but anyone who could guess what tune
they were playing would have been
looked upon as a mind-reader.
h. ID. Stephens marched along with
Frank Miller's Harrison plug hat on his
head and Business Mems Club umbrella
torch, looking for all the world like
Yankee Doodle. Near him was Robert
Barnett, wearing Joseph Stefiens' cam
paign hat and several other scalps.
The transparencies carried in the pro-
cession were unique. They were such
expressions as: Friends, did you hear
anything drap ?" Mckinney protects the
rich. Cleveland protects the poor; The
Democratic party is dead! What a lively
corpsep' 1--WE are for the people, you
bet'; TITS our turn now to shout'';
Twinkle, twinkle, in the Doodle sky,
how's the Australian ballot for high ?''
Columbus discovered this country in
1892, and Cleveland saved it in 1927;
WHISKY is whisky any way you mix it,
the tariff is a tax any way you fix it'';
"Caminetti will now finish what he so
well commenced" and many others of
similar expression.
The rear Of the parade was brought up
with big float left over from Columbus
Day. 1t was originally a representation
of Columbus ship, but the Democrats
had several forlorn-looking individuals
aboard and labeled the boat, "Republi-
canism going up Salt River"
