The Greatest Political Rejoicing on
Record.
POMONA, Nov. 12.-The booming of
anvils yesterday ushered in the eve of
the ratification in Pomona of Democra-
cy's triumph, the election of Demo
cratic president and vice-president of
these United States, Grover Cleveland
and Adlai Stevenson, respectively, and
the battle.sca red unterrified Democrats
paraded in brilliant array amid the glare
of torchlights, calcium lights red fire,
the trailing glory of roman candles,
amid the noise of shouting hundreds,
an enthusiastic bedlam of footing horns
and deafening and oftrepeated firing of
the shotgun brigade, which was one of
the features of the procession, victori-
GUS army caring not for order, "a tax for
revenue only" had won the day, and
pumpkins, prunes and pigiron-a bril-
liant galsxy-are to be taken care Of.
Later on in the evening the people
poured into town from the surrounding
country, Azuss, Covina, Spadra, Lords
burg, Rincon, Chino and other places
sending in contingents, literally packing
our clty's streets by z O'Clock, and
helped swell the number of marchers,
to make it night of iolification to be
long remembered, succeeding admirably
in their undertaking.
The parade formed at O'Clock and
marched down Second street, passing
the HERALD office in the following
order: Thirty horseback riders, includ-
ing a number of the fair sex; Ninth
Regiment band; then the multitude Of
torch bearers; a wagon load of young
women followed next came the "plural-
ity" float. an appropriate emblem, con-
tanning the Democratic states repre-
sented by young women; citizens in
carriages bringing up the rear.
Several unique designs were dis.
played. The brigade OF Cleveland
young men. with shotguns, made lots of
noise, firing at intervals during the
march.
Mr.. Phil Stien rode a magnificent
charger and led an unwilling victim-a
donkey-astride of which YVES an in
domitable Republican, James H. Todd.
Another Republican who had to sue
cumb was Howard A. Broughton, in on
evil moment ne having promised,
should Cleveland be elected. to carry
two torches. The generous Democrats
to compensate this young gentlemen for
the chagrin of having to face the music,
placed him in carriage among Pomo-
mas fair Democratic daughters, and he
was happy thereafter.
The procession countermarched on
Second street, and proceeded to the
stand opposite the M. Z. church, where
speech making took place.
