with democratic fireworks, and demo-
cracy was the order of the evening.
Great preparations had been made to
celebrate the democratic victory in good
shape, and there was a sort Of general
expectancy to witness the results Of
democratic energy. Notwithstanding the
inclemency of the weather the streets
we're lined with people at an early hour,
who we're present to see the parade.
The decorations and Examinations
about town we're quite extensive, and
there were Chinese lanterns in abund-
ance. Ever and amor the booming of
the cannon awoke the silence and rever-
berated throughout the city. Now and
then a cannon cracker made itself
heard. A sky rocket shot into the air,
and a number of them filled the heavens
with beautiful colors. Roman candles,
too, formed no small factor in the gen.
eral display. Everything was suspicious
for a celebration, which should be grand,
indeed.
The procession formed near the
AGheneum, and from down Main street
could be seen the twinkling of a hun
dred torches, as they were borne in the
procession by as many persons. Soon,
however, the procession disappeared, and
then the Main street crowd amused
themselves with fireworks and bonfires
until the procession had made it's Cir
cult and appeared on the lower end of
Main again.
And at last it came down the street in
all its glory. First came the torchbear-
ers and the band. And then was a ship
rugged up in style, and bearing an in
scriptlon to the effect that it was for the
convenience of republicans who intended
to make the Salt creek trip. From
this ship we're sent up numbers of
rockets, Roman candles and other fire.
works. As the procession passed up
the center of the street, the heavens
were illuminated by packages of blue
fire, until the scene wal beautiful in
deed.
The procession finally reached the
Atheneum, and the hall was filed with
persons, who were present to listen to
the promised addresses. Jos. Hare first
introduced
SENATOR KINTER
Of LaMoure. MI. Kinter's address was
unsatisfactory to persons IN the rear
part of the hall, as the low tone in which
he spoke prevented those who did not
occupy front seats from hearing what
was said. Mr.. Kinter said he always
felt at home in Bismarck, and was
pleased to greet a Bismarck audience.
He spoke of the recent campaign as hav.
ing been one of the most important
since that of 1860. Said that in his
opinion, the republicans ha9 become
opposed to the masses of the people
and to this their defeat was due. He
promised that every reform which waE
advocated by the democratic platform
would be made, but that it could not be
accomplished at once, as it would take
time to change what it had taken the
republicans thirty years to establish
His address was not a lengthy one, anc
he was followed by
JAMES f. CAMPBELL,
who spoke briefly. Mr.. Campbell tolt
