THE CELEBRATION Greatest Political Parade Ever Seen Here SPLENDID SPEECHES Great Ovation to Chnirman'Simroons-.-Credit Due to the Chief Marshal ou Stronach--Brilliant Illumluatlon, The magnitude and success of the great Democratic jubilee last night ex ceeded by far anything of the kind ever witnessed in Raleigh before. The pro cession was witnessed by over 15,000, and conservative estimates place the number who took part in the proces sion at more than 2,000. Hundreds were mounted, and behind these crowds surged through the streets hearing torches and banners. Great credit Is due to Chief Marshal John Stronach for the promptness with which the parade started and also to Mr. John C. Drewry and the other managers for the perfect system of the entire affair. The turn-out of spectators was Im mense and the enthusiasm unbounded. The ladies were out in great force, and residences along ; iie route of march were brilliantly illuminated. Nearly all places of business and private resi dences along the line of march were decorated and illuminated. The ar barrels shed a blaze of glory. The only accident was fhe partial burning of the white cloth which covered the "Arch of Triumph," it having caught from a passing torch. The appearance of the streets, ablaze with long lines of tar barrels, was grand. There was a continuous shower of rockets. There was no disorder, and never was any celebration more enjoySd. The speech es were well-timed and well-received. There were two speeches along the line of march, these being by Francis D. Winston, of Bertie, and R. D. Gilmer, of WaynesVille. At Nash Square, the end of the route, there was a great concourse, and there the speaking went on for two hours or more. Mr. Josephus Daniels presided. The speakers were Chairman Simmons, Congressmen-elect Theo. F. Klutz and J. W. Atwater; Lee S. Overman, W. TVT. Gibson, a red shirt from Richmond, who was a feature of rhe parade; W. B. Shaw, of Henderson: Locke Craige, B. F. Long, of Statesville; D. H. Mc Lean, of Harnett; ex-Judge A. C. Av er-, J. H. Currie. and R. A. 'P. Cooley, Telegrams which were loudly cheered. were read from A. M. Waddell, Charles B. Aycock, Congressman Kitchin and Tims. J. Jarvis. The speeches were in fine taste and full of enthusiasm and pride in the redepmtion of the State. The feature at Nash Square was the ovation to Chairman Simmons. His name was mentioned by every speaker and was received with wild cheers. When Congressman-elect Klutz said he people were for Mr. Simmons for any place he would take the audience went wild with cries of "Simmona to succeed Mary Ann," "Senator Sim mons," &c. Col. Olds is authority for the s:ate- ment that one old negro said yesterday evening: "Dey's gwine ter be er parade tcrnight o' dem Angry Saxons." Mr. A. M. McPheeters says the pa rade last night reminded "TSm of the Log Cabin and hard Cider" campaign in the forties. Hundreds were here from an parts of he State. The musi.c was furnished by the Durham and Raleigh bands and Capt. J. J. Bernard's drum corps. The sashes were provided by the com mittee and the torches were very kind ly furnished by Mr. J. C. S. Lumsden. By the way, Mr. Lumsden was a prom inent figure in 'the parade on his pranc ing steed. MUCH IN LITTLE.

The following account of the football game played at Auburn, Ala., Monday afternoon appeared in the Atlanta Journal yesterday: A large crowd of wildly excited foot ball enthusiasts, wearing the orange and blue and giving college yells saw the pigmies of the Auburn team go down in defeat before the massive bulk of the giant Tar Heels by a score of 24 to 0. It was a game brilliant with hard tackling, fine interference and magnificent line bucking and end run ning. The playing was fas'f and furious but devoid of all unpleasant features. The boys" from North Carofina showed tha.t they were gentlemen as well as football players, and the cadets upheld their reputation for pure sportsman ship. The plucky and gritty play put up by the Auburn boys was remarkable when it is taken into consideration hat they are eleven younsters playing tht-ir first season, while their burly rivals are vet erans on the gridiron. The average of North Carolina was 160 pounds, that of Auburn 145. The feature of the game was the brilliant work of the Carolina bucks, especially Captain Rodgers, Howell, Graves. Copeland and McRae, the no less startling play of t'aptaTn Mitchow. Huguley, Feag'n and Skeggs. The game was begun promptly at u o'clock, Auburn taking the kickoff. The Carolinians received the ball and after six minu:es of live bucking, with an occasional end run, left a lineman on a trick play, took the ball thirty yards and a touchdown. Goal was kicked. score 5 to 0. Nothing discouraged, the cadets were at the magnin. and by fast snappy play succeeded in keeping the ball in the middle of the field until within five minutes of the end of the firs, half when the Tar Heels carried the ball across for a second touch down. Goal was neatly kicked. Score, 10 to 0. During the scond Half Howell took McRae's place at half back. Thus streng;hened they were successful in making three touchdowns. One of the touchdowns was made by Captain Rog ers and was decidedly the pretties play of the game. Receiving a punt in the middle of the field, he ran the ball back 55 yards to touchdown. At the end of the game the scene was indescribable. The specta:ors rushed on the field, surrounded the players and wild with joy yelled themselves hoarse. While the score was a large one, yet when taken in comparison with North Carolina's 44 to 0 against Georgia, it is highly satisfactory to the friends of the Auburn team. Last night the town was in ;he hands of the students and everything went as merrily as a wed ding bell. The offi.-ials were: Umpire and ref eree, P.illie Williams and Osborne, of North Carolina: time keepers. Smith, IT., and Ruxbre, of North Carolina; linesmen, Sloanc and Martin, of North Carolina. Among the ex-varsity men on the field were Mills. Hnlcomb, Toom er, Tiehenor, Williams, Smith and oth ers. They, as well us Coach Heisman. expressed themselves as well satisfied with the exhibition of football given by the '9S team. RECORD UP TO DATE.

To a Suffering Public: As 1 am always anxious to alleviate pain T desire to make the following statement without any hesitation, men tal reservation or secret evasion of mind in me whatever. I have never been, am not now and never expect to be a candidate for Mayor r.f Raleigh or any other berg. While a good many who read this ran not deposit a ballot on account of age or sex, all can de posit part of their hard earned cash in the Mechanics' Dime Savings Rank and thereby show more onnfUer.'-e in me than giving me a political office.
