The ladies' department presented much

One Of the young ladies-Miss White

into full run, then dropped the bride

Her horse was one of those unmanagea-

the course Of the exercises, showed that
she had perfect command Of herself and

the Republicans appropriated all the hon
ors Of the victory, made the speeches
with one exception) and scolded the De-
mocratic party and called it nasty names
as usual.
The exception above alluded to was the
speech of Judge TuFrs, Of Niobrarah.--
In calling out this gentleman our Repub-
lican friends and their cats paws, the
boilers, mis.ook their man, as the sequel
proved. In responding to the call, the
Judge said be was at loss to know why
they requested him to make speech at q

Of Bengal tiger, and proceeded to pitch

made the prongs Of bis swallow tailed

business to inirude upon their meeting,
plainly inimating that it was their town

TO participate. The Democratic OK bad

The whole performance was complete

the climax, and the crowd dispersed, NUT

misfortune.

see men who claim to be Democrats re,

has thrown this District into the hands OF

A LITTLE TOO FAST!
Hurrah for Indiana!

So sanguine were the Republicans that
they we're going 10 carry everything before
them this fall, that without waiting for
the figures, they announced Indiana as
having gone in their favor by 5 900 or TO-.
600 majority. Msled by their announce
ments We last week stated that Indiana
had gone over to the enemy by elec;ing
the Republican State ticket. Subsequent
information proves this to be erroneous
and We now have the pleasure of announe,
ing that Indiana has elected the Demo,
cratic State ticket by from 1900 to 5000
majority. This sounds better Hurrah
