delightful in every respect. Oft1'e Milwaukee.
ans our citizens speak in the loudcst terms Of
praisc. They >ay that nothing WIS withheld
from them, everything that could a'e extended
to them was given. and IS for spending money,
it WAS impossible for Il Clicasoan to do it, except
perhaps, by connirance.
Thc Plane. left I'll Monday night amidst music,
fireworks shouts, aud the boouninE of Douglas
Campaign, cannon. All the way up there WAS
dancing. and at 1. O'Clock the party reached Mil
