THE LOCOFOCO POW WOW AT THE
HICKORY POLE.

This long-talked of affair announced in the pa
pers for week past to come off at four o'clock
yesterday evening, took place last night about
eight. All conceivable plans were used during
the day by the faithful to get up an excitement
guns were fred At day -break--a national flag uas
placed for the first time at the head of the Polk
stalk, which we we're told was the very identical
flag used at the surrender at Yorktown, (but I'M
fortunately for that item it had luentysir stars
it, few more than adorned the flag OF 76,) cour-
ers flying through town in search OF Transparent
cies, &C., but the hour of four drew nigh, the
faithful gathered but smly at the appointed place.
heavy rain came up which dispersed them until
about 5, when they assembled again, formed a
procession, numbering not over $50 persons, and
proceeded to the steamboat to await the coming
of their friends from Alexandria. At about half
past they returned up the avenue in increased
numbers and organized at the hickory pole about
8 O'Clock. We presume the proceedings laid
down in the programme were carried out--aH
but DR., MundIng's history of Europe, which APP
pears to have been previously ruled out by the
managers. The speakers tor the occasion were
Messrs Hoban, C. s. Wallach, w. D. Wallach,
J. B. B. Wilson, and Nnrris with DR.. Munding's
apology for not addressing the meeting. We are
informed the evening was rich with incidents,
making 1t altogether quite an Agreeable affair." at
least to the Wings present. We hope we shall
have an account of it in full from some of our
friends who were present, for we are assured that
it contained enough of the burlesque to amuse
our readers for week.
After the adjournment, (about 10 o'clock,) a
procession was formed, which proceeded to the
Presidents House, (dd Mr.. Hoban accompany
them there after his speech during the evening y
and we have heard it stated they were not able
to draw out the Captain for reception From
thence they proceeded down the Avenue, with
numerous transparencies. hickory bushes, &c,
headed by band Of music, numbering, by count.
but little over three hundred, with about seventy
or eighty boys. SO much for Polk and Dallas in
the District of Columbia.

NASHVILLE, Aug. /

NASHVILLE, Aug. 10, 1914.
"The great Locofoco convention is over, and a
heart sckening one it was to the knowing one of
that party. 1t fell far short of their expectation.
The Wings have considered it failure. They
were counted at four different places as The pro-
ces~lon marched out, and the highest count was
3,4OO. They certainly had not more on the
ground than 10000. Some do not give them SO
many. You may set Tennessee down as certain
for Clay and FreliugIuysen.'
