Delaware gazette and state journal. (Wilmington, Del.) 1883-1902, 1894-11-15

The Republicans had halleluiah |
time Monday night. Their joy over the |
result of Tuesday weeks election was |
unbounded and found expression in uu-
restrained enthusiasm.
Citizens regardless of party affiliation
helped celebrate the Republican victory.
In the decoration of buildings and IN
the display of pyrotechnics Democrats
took a prominent part.
The demonstration was big affair
but in some respects it was not what II
was expected to be. The colored man
was in his glory and was largely repre-
sented. The irrepressible small boy was
also in his element.
There were probably 1900 people in
the parade. Most of the organizations
marched in platoons of eight. Fifty
minutes were consumed in passing a
given point. Many of the Inscriptions
on the transparences were insulting.
A significant inscription read : well
have mixed schools now" 1t was
borne in a wagon occupied by white and
colored children.
Although It did not reach the stand
ard OF excellence expected the parade
was creditable. In few places the
participants struggled, and in one place
there was break u square in length.
On Market street it was matter Of
. comment that the colored men marched
the best and the police declared the
negroes behaved best Many organiza-
tions dropped ont of line soon after
leaving Market street. The parade was
dismissed few minutes after midnight.
Buildings in all parts of the city were
illuminated and the town Dlazed with
pyrotechnics.
The procession was headed by six
mounted policemen, commanded by
Captain Kane. They were followed by
Chief Marshal Edmund Mitchell, Jr.,
and his staff, also mounted, the latter
being composed of a representative from
each club in line.
