and produce a spontaneous combustion of NOR
talty! Next in the rear followed eighteen OF
nineteen carriages with flags, which looked quite
well. Several of the young men in these car
wore blue badges,--in order, no doubt, to-
distiRgu guish themselves as advocates in heart and
principle of the doctrines of the buelght, Hart
ford Convention federalisis. Ii was thought that
a black cockake for each would have made the
exhibition complete! At the rear end of the
procession was a two-horse wagon loaded With
about dozen sickly-looking Young coons -lhe
smallest Of all small fry. They had been Sc
lecied for the occasion, as the choice spirits of
the Cadiz Coon Glee Club, whose particular
office, as their name imports, was 10 create fun
and laughter by singing coon songs This,
should Judge, they were well calculated 10 do al
home or abroad; Tor who could look upon such
ridiculous picture as they made in the Club wag-
on without laughing. if he felt disposed 10 ridi-
cule, or without feelings of modification and pi-
~ for the moral depravity Of youth, ifhe thought
to;a moment on their meagre, lcentious and de-
oauched appearanceP They had been exposed
TO shower of rain, during the afternoon, which
made their clothes stick drippingly close 10 their
bodies; and from observation, one would not
doubt, that they were equally we'll soaked with
something stronger within! For, as they moved
lalong singing, or rather attempting to sing,
"Oh, Polk! Polk and Dallas are first rate yoke .
their heads reeled and tottered fore and aft like
a tllthammer, or young chicken dying of the
gapes!
The procession moved down Market street to
tGimlet Hll--returned-passed up Ohio street.
lcrossed 10 Main, and moved slowly TO the cast.
In the meantime, The Democrats had hosted
their f3g, and as the wings approach the tall, ma
Ilestlc young hickory, the Democratic flg it bore
aloh, waved proudly and riumphanhy in the gen.
lie breeze Of even. TIE procession on reach
ag the little poplar pole second time, Stacked
tackle, and drew UP at tie corner Of the public
square in front of the Court House, where they
were addressed from the stone wall by John A.
Bingham. His remarks were principally nten-
ded 10 operate against the Cadiz Sentinel, which
he said 'swas controlled by band of black
guards" Now, it is an old maxim that " dirty
, sayings always come from dirty persons," and
f such person as his hard phases depicted out
should have judged him to be, even had not
, known him TO be. branded as base, licentious
! blackguard before. 1t was thought by many he
was robbing himself of hard names, and making
. dreadful slcrfce of well earned titles! Won
. der if this Johnny A. is the same trucking tool
who, in the fall of l842, was threatened TO be
! made the object Or centre of attraction for a
large portion of rotten eggs with dead chickens
: in 'em," for Safeguarding the citizens of New
I Philadelphia? Wonder if this is The same John
: my A., who was promised free passage out ol
D town on rail, by the citizens of Dover, for a
+ like offence, and only prevented their putting the
2 threat into execution, by changing his wherea-
bouts in time to save his bacon? Wonder ifthis
IS the sumo Johnny A., who, in political debate
at Port Washington, last fall, writhed, frothed
/ and ioamed, like fiend from Pluto's darkest re-
I gions, in consequence of being fayed alive by
James Matthews the Congressional Representa-,
tive Of that District? Mr.. Bingham, having lost
all the confidence and respect of the people OF
Tnscarawas county, returns 10 Harrison, to vom-
\ It forth his federal slang TO tie citizens of Cadz
, Would it not be we'll for Johnny A. to take ar
other six-day trip to the State of Maryland, be.
fore the fall election, and stump it for the coons
j, by passing himself off as The "Buckeye stage
drircr!" Surely if the example of Bear, the
Buckeye Blacksmith" was worthy of imitation
in 1910, it is worthy of further imitation now!
After Mr.. Bingham closed, the crowd dispor-
sod, each coon, no doubt, returning 10 his own

E at the foolish trip and display they had made
Thus closed the sccne-sic transit gloria yhig,
