'The drums dia beat and the ntes did play.
And Johnny went marching along the way"
As triumphal march, TIE Democratic
parade Saturday evening was success;a ;as
massing of the adherents of that party,
it WAS a decided failure. All along
the route of march there was red fire and
sky rockets in abundance, but in the
ranks there were not over one hundred
voters. The line was formed about
$50 with the Newport Bard in the lead,
followed by the Second Ward Political
club, with some fifty men. Then came
two carriages; in one was Mayor-eiect
Waters John GfipiH, ex-Asyer- -slocum-
Frank r. Nolan; Councilman Young Of
the Fourth Ward, Professor Fredericks,
ID. w. Maher and f. M. Wheeler were in
the other.
seventy-five "citizens," twenty-five of
whom probably have vote. Bringing up
in the rear was crowd OF urchins,
headed by three youngsters on horses.
Owing to the heavy rain earlier

of election to include Ii in the route, to
prevent there being any trouble.
There were three transparencies carried,
two expressing Joy at the victory, and one
with instructions to vote for -bapham.
Sad TO say, the candles in the latter
went out at early stage OF
the game, thus probably saving Newport
from another Democratic victory, for

whose eyes fell upon it would have fol-
lowed the advice, with due consideration
for the source.
Someone asked IL the huge white
chrysanthemums worn in the buttonholes
OF the gentlemen in the carriages was the
flower of the Democratic party or an adj
vertisement of the chrysanthemum show
which opens tomorrow.
