A JUBILANT PARADE
Ten Thousand Gotham Dem¬
ocrats in Line.
GENERAL political gossip
OF THE DAY.

The Banner* anti Their Inscriptions.
Mrs. Cleveland in New
York—Other Nows.
New York, Oct. 13.—[Special Corres¬
pondence by Wire.]-Early this morning
the pedestrian began to find difficulty in
making his way through that vicinity of
Broadway which is between Nassau
street, and down almost as far as the
battery.
Numerous bodies of young men
attired in smart campaign uniforms,
stood on the pavements chatting and
smoking, and the lights in the club win¬
dows had never once relaxed their vigil
during the small hours.
It has been a great day for the democ¬
racy. No less than 10,000 citizens have
formed in line, and, with banner aloft,
paraded the streets until near dusk. To¬
night there has been a tremendous torch¬
light procession, eclipsing that of the
Blaine contingent by splendor and num¬
bers. As the parade showed the intense
loyalty and enthusiasm of the people to¬
wards the ticket, so the mass meeting at
Cooler Union closfe
displayed ical side of the the straightforward canvass. Enthusiasm log¬
is well, but it has the too frequent effect
of blinding men to facts which should
be received and discussed. I believe the
day when a campaign can be run on
wild ebbulient joy is over, and the party
that utilizes logic and republican princi¬
ples is the wiser and stronger, and there¬
fore more apt to succeed. There is noth¬
ing artificial about Secretary Fairchild.
He is not a great orator, but his speech
to the crowd from the steps of the Wall
Street convincing. Sub-Treasury Who was should both powerful be
and more
thoroughly of the nation posted than on the tho secretary business of affairs the
exchequer? He was the head business
man of a great country; he was a tried
democrat, and he addressed a multitude
composed “The theory of business of protection,” men. lie said,
“is a fallacy cherished from generation
to generation. On this account, and
wholly because of it the majority of the
representatives heretofore of fifty millions of peo¬
ple have countenanced its
perpetuity. But the time has come to
throw off the fallacy because we are a
greater, wiser and stronger people.”
When Secretary Fairchild had finished
the crowd shouted and cheered them¬
selves hoarse, until Speaker Carlisle
stepped allur on the edge of the platform.
He ed to the true statesmanship,
the probity and courage of the adminis¬
tration, and at the close said there was
no need no eulogize before ten thousand
democrats the greatest democrat of the
country’s hosts. There were many other
speeches, and then the meeting at Cooper
Union followed.
It was amusing carried to to-day's note some of the
banners in demonstra¬
tion. One derided the Maine gentleman
who has republican so kindly consented to aid his
poor brother from a more
western state by displaying the words:

strength to an already strong ticket.
