REPUBLICANS JOIN In, TOO

Triumphant Democracy took possession
of the city last night. She filed the air
with her shouts of victory and the shrieks
of her exulting rockets, and lit the skies
with the promising glare of her pyro-
technics and bon fires. The citizens gen.
orally Wed with each other in giving ex-
prossion TO their joy at the triumph OF
Grover Cleveland and good government.
Lanterns were hung out everywhere, and
SO unbroGen appeared the long blocks OF
flag bedecked buildings that you would
have thought there was not Republican
in the town.
The main feature of the celebration was
the monster parade of the club and Demo-
cratic organizations of the city. This

street, and after moving down Jersey
avenue to WAYNE street, to Grove street.
To Montgomery street. marched around
Van Worst Square and passed in review
at the club house of the Democratic
Society. The club house was arranged
much as it was on the night President
Cleveland visited this city. The two
platforms which were then built In the
thing. more elaborauely decorated than
then The stand upon which the review
ing party stood had an immense rooster
in front depicted in the act of emitting a
loud, triumphant crow, while the stand
itself was a harmonious mass of red,
white aud blue.
DROWNING REPUBLICAN SORROW.
A notable feature of the cluo house was
the presence of many OF the leading mem
bers Of the Union League Club. The Hud-
son Society conceived the idea that 1t
would (be a good thing to disperse as
much las possible the gloom that hung
over their political enemies, but club
neighbors, at the other end of the block,
and q cordial invitation was extended to
the members of the union to come down
and review the procession from the soci-
ety's rooms.
Many of the gentlemen in the League,
appreciatinR the spirit in which the tnvi-
tation was given, accepted and among the
throng in the Society's parlors We're:
Judge John A. Blair, president OF the
:, ( Union League; Fiavel MCGEE, Leroy
Il ISchermerhorp, George A. Walker, Assem-
= blyman-eleetA Henry H. Holiness George
F. Perkins, Judge Lockwood. Joe Totten,
James Hansel and John Gallagher.
OF course the PanRborns, the Bensons,
the Douglasses aud the other narrow
minded political bigots refused the kind
ness of the society and sat in the gloom OF
their sackcloth and ashes and peeped at
the procession through the closed blinds
of their darkened clubhouse.
The visiting Republicans were taken in
hand by the members of the society and
soon convinced that they were in good
hands. While the fraterniziRg was at its
height, word was brought in that the pro-
cession was coming. Governor Albeit, ex-

A MAGNIFICENT SIGHT.
The sight which met their gaze as they
locked about the square was grand one
On Barrow street the residences of Chan
ce1lor McGill, DIR. Dougherty and Henry
McCartin were ablaZe with light.
Chinese lanterns Of beautiful hues decor
ated the residences or General Heppen
heimer, Thomas Kelly. Michael Doyle
and Mr.. Heicke on Montgomery street,
while Governor Abbett's residence at Jer-
sey avenue was decorated with flags
which were distinctly brought out in the
red glare of the Greek fire which burned
before il. Eugene v. Hartnett on Y ork
Cleveland in his yard. while red light
lit up the beautiful decorations of his
home.
The reviewing party had scarcely time
to take in this beautiful scene when up
came John Parnell Feeney, astriGe a
powerful charger. and, clad in the, at
tractive uniform of a colonel in the Nc
Laughlin Rifle Corps. He saluted
smiled at the tremendous applause which
greeted his warlike appearance, and
passed on. Then came the great leader
Dennis Mclaughlin. himself, riding in q
coach and bearing alort huge picture
OF the President elect The Dennis Nc
LauRhlin Association and the Rifle Corps
followed and that was all.
THE MARCH BY.
Everybody wanted TO know Il that was
the end of the procession. The sound o
martial music in the distance and the
passing of Pickering lights across Barrow
street at Wayne answered the question
In the negative. 1t seems there had beer
some misunderstanding about the route
of the procession, and the McLdughlins
had proceeded down Jersey avenue
while the remainder went through Wayne
street. Soon tue head of the othel
column appeared at Montgomery stree
and came around the square. As seer
through the trees Of the park the view
was most beautiful. The illumination OF
the buildings on Montgomery street, tht
waving lights of The pRraders and thu
bright glare of the Greek fire combined
to make grand spectacle.
The Davis Pioneers led the column and
received hearty applause as they saluted
the Governok The O'Neills also got q
rousing reception. As the O'Neills turn &c
into York street the stick of rookie
coming down struck James Ellington
one of the Pioneers on the head. It pene
trated bis silk hat and grazed his skull
The force of the blow, however, was suf
ficent to stagqer Mr.. Ellington, and he
would have fallen had not two of his as
sociates caught him. DR.. Smith attended
him and he was sent home in a coach.
The railroad employees of the Fourth
district looked fine, and SO did the
Thomas Kelly Association led by its in
trepid standard bearer in person. The
Philip Tumulty Association came along
in three divisions; horse, foot, and in
valics. The first rode war horses; tn,
second plowed through the mud witt

third rode in coaches. Phil. Muldoon'
