The Daily Clarion

A GLORIOUS DAY.
The Closing Features of the
Grand Demonstration.
THE TORCH-LIGHT PROCESSION.
The Finest Demonstration Ever Seen in Jackson.

As promised yesterday we now give the concluding features of
THE BARBECUE.

After Hon. J. W. C. Watson and Gen. Robt. Lowry had spoken, Rev. Jerry Blow, of Rankin, was called upon and made a telling speech. He called upon the colored Democrats to stand firm in the faith. Mr. Blow is a colored man and has done splendid service during the present canvass.

THE DINNER followed next. The table was bountifully supplied, and it fully testified to the liberality of our citizens, and the energetic working of the committee. After dinner, speeches were made by Hon. J. L. McCaskill, Capt. U. M. Young and Hon. Joe Bennett.

THE CRYSTAL SPRINGS CLUB was not able to reach here in time for the day parade, but arrived on the 5 o'clock P. M. train, in strong force. They were handsomely uniformed, and full of the enthusiasm that is now sweeping everything before the Democratic Conservative hosts in Copiah county.

THE TORCH-LIGHT PROCESSION was formed promptly at 7 o'clock, in front of the Capitol. The Grand Marshal and his assistants performed their duties to perfection, and each Club was put in its proper place without trouble or delay.

Thos. A. McWillie, Grand Marshal. Assistants, Matt. F. Ash, Marion Smith, A. G. Lewis, J. B. Harris, J. W. Langley, M. Green, W. T. Holland, and D. Shelton.

THE CRYSTAL SPRINGS BAND led the column, with soul stirring airs, such as Star Spangled Banner, Dixie, etc. It was immediately followed by the
DEMOCRATIC-CONSERVATIVE HEAD-LIGHT, a beautiful transparency in front of a wagon. On each side of the frame in large letters was HEMINGWAY, our candidate for Treasurer. In front, a rising sun, in red letters, "For Congress, C. E. Hooker;" in yellow letters, "For State Senate, A. R. Johnston, J. L. McCaskill;" in blue letters, "For Representative, O. Clifton, M. R. Jones, Marye Dabney, Geo. W. Harper." On one side of the wagon, a horse using both feet and wings, and attached to an ice cream wagon, driven by old father Time. In front a man running at lightning speed; underneath "Old Time himself beaten, from Clinton to Jackson, 10 miles, Fisher's time, 1:14½." On the other side, a very fat boy, surrounded by pumpkins, which were marked, "Pearl River Navigation," $55,000, militia, Congress, etc., etc., the boy was marked Warner, and saying, "Oh! Johnnie see here." Underneath, "Don't I wish all them were pies."

THE ROOSTER, which was decidedly the feature of the procession, came next. It is the property of the Crystal Springs Club, and is sixteen feet high and white speckled. It had in its beak, a transparency upon which was "Hurrah for Hinds." It was a rooster on wheels, and was driven by Mr. Terry, of
THE CRYSTAL SPRINGS CLUB.

This handsomely uniformed Club followed their rooster. They carried a United States flag, a club banner, and Wide Awake coal oil lanterns. They kept step like trained soldiers, and showed by their general appearance that this was not the first time they had been in line during the canvass.

JACKSON HOME GUARDS.

The battalion of Home Guards were next in line, Capt. J. H. Morris, senior Captain commanding, followed the above Club, marching right in front.

COMPANY A lead the battalion, 1st Lieutenant R. L. Saunders, commanding. Its principal transparency had upon it, "North Ward, Company A." The men carried Chinese lanterns and miscellaneous transparencies, a number of them only having "A" upon them. The other principal officers are 2d Lieutenant, J. W. Langley; 3d Lieutenant, James Shelton, and J. J. Green, O. S.

COMPANY C, the color company, (Richardson Guards,) Capt. J. C. Webb commanding. They carried a large banner, upon which was enscribed "West Ward," reverse, "Eternal Vigilance is the price of Liberty." They also carried Chinese lanterns, and a number of transparencies upon which "C" shown out clear and strong. Officers, A. J. Addkinson, 1st Lieutenant; M. L. Bennett, 2d Lieutenant; Chas. Farish, 3d Lieutenant; David Ewing, O. S.

COMPANY B, being on the left of the battalion, brought up the rear. Capt. J. C. Rietti commanding. They carried at their head a handsome
United States flag, upon which was the letter of the company, and a transparency inscribel, "South Ward Boys," reverse "a clear poll, or a free fight," upon each end, "B." They carried nothing but transparencies, some of them were very suggestive, viz: "B ready," "B on hand."
"B means business."

Officers, Robert Sproule 1st Lieutenant; Harris Barksdale, 2d Lieutenant; W. J. Hale, 3d Lieutenant Chas. Dudley, O. S.

CAPITAL CLUB was next in line, but owing to the large number of its members who were on committees, in the Home Guards, etc., they did not turn out a very strong force.

THE VISITORS from other places who had remained here after the Barbecue followed Capital Club. They were several hundred strong.

THE SILVER CORNET BAND, than which there is no better in the State headed
THE MOUNTED MEN.

Large numbers of the members of the mounted clubs that were in the day parade had remained to the torch-light procession and these with the citizens of the city who had horses brought up the rear of the procession.

THE TRANSPARENCIES throughout the whole length of the line, were very fine. We can only describe a few of the most conspicuous. One, a man shooting a woman with one hand and receiving a $450 pardon with the other. Reverse, "Noonan wants Davis;" another, a bulletin board inscribed, "Hinds county 800 Democratic majority," a number of mules gazing at it, the mules were branded with the names of prominent Radicals—beneath. "After the election:" reverse: "Remember the black line in the Legislature." A man hanging from a tree, inscribed: "His crime was a false count." "A tree that bore good fruit;" reverse; "Democratic boxes must not be thrown out:" a little darkey fastened to a cart, and kicking a man out; above, "Can't ride any longer;" underneath: "Jim Hill kicks out the carpet bagger;" reverse: "Proxies $100: apply to Robt. McAlpin."

Many with such inscriptions as: "Early to the polls, and stay all day;" "A fair count and a full count;" "Vote for Hooker;" "Vote the whole ticket;" "We are going to carry Hinds;" "If the polls are packed, we will break the line," &c.

The Transparency Committee, Mr. C. H. Manship, Samuel Tant, J. F. O'Sullivan, W. T. Deason, David Manship and others, performed their duties alike creditable to themselves and the Club.

THE MARCH The procession moved promptly at 7½ o'clock, amid the booming of cannon, band playing and fire works illuminating the skies. The line of march was on State street north to Barksdale, on Barksdale to President, down President south to Mississippi, on Mississippi west to West, on West to Yazoo, on Yazoo to Congress, on Congress south to Capitol street, on Capitol west to Railroad Avenue, thence south to Pearl, on Pearl east to Lopez, on Lopez to Pascagoula, on Pascagoula east to Congress, on Congress to Tombigbee, on Tombigbee east to State, on State to the Capitol. Throughout the whole route the
PATRIOTIC LADIES of our city, than whom there are none more patriotic in any part of our own Southern sunny land, greeted the procession as it passed their residences with waving handkerchiefs, which were responded to with cheer after cheer from one end of the line to the other.

THE ILLUMINATIONS. Nearly every private residence in the city was illuminated.

THE CANNON that had been doing duty during the day was equally loud-speaking during the night. The Cannon Committee: J. W. Harrington, Jno. Collins, Jno. Kavanaugh, and F. B. Hull and others, worked like heroes during the whole rally.

When the procession reached the starting point Judge Campbell, W. L. Hemingway, Col. Hooker and R. V. Booth, made speeches.

The Clarion Office was of course illuminated. We return thanks for the hearty cheers the office received from the clubs as they marched to the forming point.
