SERENADING THE VICTORS.
Music, Fireworks and 'Enthusiasm
Speeches toy Williams and Winston.
The Democrats had something of a
jubilee over their great victory, in Ox
ford last night. The Granville Grays'
Cornet Band headed a procession of
enthusiastic citizens and marched to
the residence of Capt. A. H. A, Wil
liams, Democratic Congressman-elect.
When his beautiful 4wn was reach
ed, the band struck up a patriotic tune;
the boys sent upky -rockets, fired ro
man candles, and exploded giant-
crackers, and the men broke into wild
yells and cheers. After everal pieces
of music were rendered, there was a
great cry for "WilliatA," and the
gallant Captain appeared on the front
porch.
He made a brief, graceful speech,
expressing his appreciation of the hon
t r conferred upon him. He said it
was not a gang of revenue officers and
marshals, such as would have visited
his competitor if successful, he saw
before him, but patriotic, liberty-loving
people. He congratulated them up
on carrying the county, and gloried in
the party's success, State and national.
Y In 1892," he said, amid shouts of
applause, "we will put Grover Cleve
land in the White House again !"
Dr. E. T. White, Chairman of the
Democratic County Executive Com
mittee, S. W. Cooper, Treasurer elect,
Capt. John A. Williams and B. S.
Royster, were called upon for speech
es, and each responded briefly and happily-
Then there was more music, and
the band and people marched over to
the other end of the city to pay their
respects to Hon. R. W. Winston,
next Superior Court Judge from the
Fifth Judicial District.
Again fire works illuminated the
skies and hearty hurrahs awoke the
echoes of the night. Judge Winston
came out in obedience to the invita
tion of the crowd. Of course,he said,
being elected to a iudicial office he
could not make them a political
speech. He spoke pleasantly a few
minutes and retired.
This ended the. demonstration. The
procession returned down town and
dispersed.

ing the cuttinjg of the best timber from
