triCt's Cleveland
Banner.

Seldom has Hoboken been SO stirred ur
as it was last night. The Ninth District
Democratic Association raised banner
and the occasion was marked by the
prettiest street pageant that the city has
witnessed in years. The city was ablaze
with fireworks. and the streets from one
end to the other were crowded with peo-
pie, who cheered the paraders and all the
Democratic candidates until they were
hoarse. 1t was long after midnight be-
fore the streets were deserted.
The Ninth District Club has been but
recently formed and its headquarters are
at the corner of First street and Park
avenue. Thus far. the club has been
very successful. Last night was fixed
Tor the banner raising and political clubs
from all parts of the county were invited.
The banner is the largest in the city and
bears excellent portraits of the Demo
cratic candidates.
GATHERING OF THE CLANS.
AS early as eight o'clock the clubs be-
gan to form In line on Monroe street.
Ihis street was ablaze. The houses were
completely hidden with bunting in honor
of Columbus and In many residences the
the portraits of Columbus and Cleveland
hung side by side. Rows of Chinese lam
terms stretched across the street made a
fairy like scene, and at all the shops
about red fire was at premium.
Shortly after eight O'Clock the gallant
McLaughlins arrived. They marched
over Grove street to Ferry street, Hobo
ken, and up Munroe street. They were
headed by full band of music and they
wore their new uniforms for the first
time. To use the popular expression,
"They were out of signt." In front of
the association in carriages were County
Clerk MCLAUGHLIN, the popular stsndard
bearer. Superintendent Smith and others.
Then followed several of the members on
horseback and then the rank and file. As
the association marched up Monroe
street, cheer after cheer went up.
The members of the Michael J, Coyle
Association, of Hoboken, made their first
appearance in their new uniforms. They
were headed by the Seventy-frst Regi-
ment Band of New York City, and were
200 strong. AS they marched down First
street to the starting point they receiveda
perfect ovation. The new uniforms, be-
sides looking well, are serviceable. They
consist of light mouse-colored overcoats,
derby hats and gloves of the same color
and canes.
L l0 bOAb OTgdulZdU1Ou TO arrive was
the George b. Fielder Guards. To this
crack campaign club was accorded the
right of line, and they deserved it. They
were a fine looking lot of men and their
regalia set them off nicely The other
clubs. all accompanied by bands, were
not long in arriving.

MARCH AND MEETING.
Up First street, between unbroken lines
of cheering Democrats along both sides

stand where the speakers were, the en-
thusiasm was greatest. Over two thou
sand people were congregated there, and
they cheered for Cleveland, Stevenson
and everything Democratic. Rockets
and bombs burst in the air, Transparent
cies and many colored lights lit up the
paraders, and hundreds of people from
windows ana housetops waved handker-
chiefs and threw their hats in the air.
Any Republican who saw that demon.
stration must have'gone away very tired.
King Simon the First, of Weehawkeu.
rode in coach at the head of the Wee
hawkeD Zoueves. Simon is very plain aud
democratic in his ways, and he objected
strenuously to occupying a coach. He
wanted to march, but his subjects would
not listen to any such arrangement and
provided their King with conveyance

and was heartily cheered.
