THERALLYLASTN NIGHT
Tue Two Lines of March Pass Each Other Upon Their Re
 Spective Routes.
The Republicans Outnumber the Democrats. Cries of The Dem-
 ocrats are Not in it.'.

Last night, Monday, was rallying night both the Republicans and Demo- crats came before their constituents to ratlfy their chances at the polls on the following day by respective parades in the columns of which were the adher- ents of their respective parties. The parades started early Tn the evening as the winter evenings are inclined to be darkeued at an early hour and the moon
 being little Tn arrears as to the exact tune of procession afforded an opportu- nifty for the torches and transparauces to appear to their best advantage. The Democrats formed in front Of their Hall on Church street and after parad- ing around proceeded to the Opera House to make speeches, among the speakers were Franklin, Barnes. Rouse, Lowell, Hughes aud F. Heney, the Opera House was not crowded as one would suppose on an occasion of this kind would call for but slim as the at
 tendance was when the eloquent Judge Lowell even with his we'll known elo- queDce attempted to tackle the wool tariff question something in which Ari- zona is sparsely interested, the march of emigration took place from the Opera House and the audience disappeared as if wool was disappearing from the back of a sheep under the shears of vigorous application and by the time that Barnes and Heney tackled the audience a cor poral's guard of listeners faced the man who says Republican newspapers are in sincere and many quorums of vacant chairs stared the presumptuous speaker in the face when be tackled the Metro politan Journal known as the Tucson CITIZEN and by atmospheric md hygen- ic utterances sought to bolster up tot terIng party locally. In the meantime the Republican rallyists, were marching with vigor and earnestress through the streets of the city. They had bands of music fife and drum and the tone of the drum beat had that splendid ring and flavor about It that said there goes the Nations defenders. The Republicans with banners and emblems among which were Mickey works" Mark Flirts" "Vote for Taxpayers" Statehood" Free Coinage" and emblems and signs calling attention to local offices. .'Vote for "F. A. Stevens for sheriff." "J. V. Paul for treasurer" Remember Old Man Grant" and numerous oth- CT conspicuous sigrs that bob ed up and down in the vast procession as it files south from headquarters along Meyer to Stone avenue, thence to Con- gress; down Congress west to Main and Pennington passing the Opera House where the Democrats were trying to de- fend free trade proclivities (under the guise of tariff reformation and spouting about insincere newspapers) passed on northeasterly up Pennington to Stone avenue, marched and countermarched oD Stone avenue opposite the new post office amidst great cheering whilst roc kets and Roman candles and drums and cymbals Kept pace in attractiveness with scenes that could be witnessed in the streets of New York or San Francisco. The procession then doubled back to Pennington, marching easterly along Pennington to Fifth Avenue thence to 10th and up Congress to Headquarters The route of the procession was packed with dense crowd that cheered the processionists and urged them on with words of encouragement. The Repub- lIcans held full swing of the city until near the morning hours with bands of music and good-natured crowd that said, "Harrison was the best President that the nation had elected and the local and Territorial Republican ticket was good enough to tie to-" There was no scene of disorder, nor insult, nor fracas of any kind that required rolce officers attention and is a fitting tribute to the claim of a peaceful statehood"
