marched up Main street to the Julien House,
Vhere they gave three faint cheers for "Doog-
fas,' then moved on to the corner Of Aain and
Fourth streets, where they beheld cur gallant
flag waving in triumph across the street, from
the Wide awake Head Quarters; the sight Of

gotten. Thsnk God, the spirit Of seventy s1x
still beats in the hearts Of the Republicans Of
Dubuque city. No such insult would have
been cou m;tted at @ less price tlan that
of blood. It il but rikht to rem ark that
the flag was not displayed for any other pur-
pose than to celebrate the gloziout Republican
victories Of PeunsJ lyania, Ohio and Indians, and
party. 4 more ridiculous sight cannot be con-
ceived Of than to see the " unterzitied" Of Du-
buque retreating from the flag Of the Amer-
CEN Republic at the bidding ct their demagosuc
leaders. Alas how low hare the "glorious
Democracy Of Dubuque fallen since their
palmy days Of 1876! But to return to the
street aud dorm another, more like = crowd of
mourpers- No enthusiasm was displayed. The
fact is, ~ news from The States alluded to cast
wet blanket over their intended jolli6eation.
The only loud demonstration mede was when
some boisterous Doug'asites shouted out To

ton, *e pitied their fo1.orn situation, and ex-
cused their f1ailties,

he left the stand, jumped into carriage and
returned to hie hotel, sick at heart At the gloomy
prospects ahead.
The afternoon exercises were concluded by
Gus Harrington Of Illinois, brawling Demo-
cr4t, we'll adapted for the useless calling he is
now engaged in. lie "d----d the Dutch" in un.
measured terms. Gus und Henry Clsy Dean
(,he G1easy) would make an excellent team to
traveiin company. The " Greasy" is a little
the biggest political blackgra1d of the two.
Gus is 1erdAut, and consequently little more
excu.able than bully Dean. AT o'clock P. ~,
the Catholic priesthood OF thus city pad Flslt
to the Julien House, for the purpose of greeting
the "Little Giant" but were just in time to be
too lale, as the "inznortal Ar. Douglas" had
just departed for Dunlieth.
The grand torch light procession q. night
numbered eight hundred and serenty-6Te per-
Sons, more than half Of which were boys. The
noticeable feature in the procession, was the ab.
sence Of every one Of the leading Democrats Of
the city. 1t wa1 general remark, Where's
our big gunsY They we're not thar" for tho
reason that they didn't desire to mix in with
the bowling rabble. as Breckinridge Demo-
crat styled them in our presence. Take the
whole Of the g. grand dem ,nstra'ion into con.
sideration. and it WAS dead failure in poiut Of
numbers and enthusiasm. 1t is the last Demo-
cratic rally that will be held in this city during
the present campaign. The comb Of the
Douglas Geek is cut, and tho "creter" wont
tight any more. For the future they may only
be eeen but not known. The Democrats 10 Il
