THR PROCESSION ATTACKED


ling anything of the kindever witnessed
in Ohio county, and had the supply OF
torches been greater over five hundred
moro men would have been in the ranks
The humber of men in the procession
was IyariOusly estimated, but we think
we Dire safe in fixing it at from fifteen
hundred to two thousand. The process
sion formed at the corner of Main and
Monroe streets, and the different cross
streets, and all the principal thorough
far& in the centre of attraction were
crow ded with men bearing lights. At
aboht half past seven o'clock the line of
march was taken up, and the vast con-
coufse of voters proceeded through the
streets previously designated rs the
roue.
The display made by the tremendous
outpouring of men bearing flags, torch
es, ttransparencies, lanterns, ETC., ETC.,
was grand beyond description, and by far
exceeded the expectations OF the most
sanguine. There was large number
of hacks and buggies in the procession,
ialfof which were heavily laden with
men, and the turn ont of horsemen was
unusually large.
The procession was composed of Ohio
comfy roteys. not imported Ohioans
and Pennsylvanians from neighboring
counties of those States. The process
ion was made up of workingmen,
soldiers, and the sturdy yeomany OF the
coilnty, not boys and youths following
cannon which never saw action nj
Winchester or Independence. 1t was a
turn out of men who will be heard
from at the polls on Thursday next
Along the line of procession, the dis,
play made by way of illumination was
magnificent. In some places dwellings
and business houses for whole squares
together. were brilliantly illuminated
we at one time thought of taking a list
Oh the names of our citizens who LET
their lights shine, but we have conclu'
ded that the shortest plan by which
our readers can arrive Mt IT, viii be tC
take the city directory, and erase the
names of a few shoddyites and men who
! have been removed from official position.
Roman candles, sky-rockets ant other
fireworks were set off from dwellings
and business houses in every section OF
the CITY, and those i'll the procession
almost everywhere were greeted with a
welcome Grafton, by either the waving
of flags or handkerchiefs, and the men
were hoarse from cheering, before they
passed over one-half the route.
For beauty, wit and pointed hits
the display of transparencies was new
cr e0ualled in this city. We were una
BILE to copy half of them. We give be-
low a few of the principal mottoes dis
played.
