every quarters going IN all sorts
of seonveyance. Anderson Town
shin turned 0ut~e0 delegation
of four bundled. This delega-
ton was headed by q wagon beauti-
fully and tastefully decorated, which
bore lady representative for each
State The wagon was drawn by
tn lrteen yoke Of oxen, and attracted
a great deal of attention. The people
were addressed by General Brown,
General Veatch, of Indiana, and Mr..
j. q. Hazweh, of Hardinsburgh, Ky.
No such a political gathering was ever
held in Perry County by any political
party, and good results have followed.
BE assured that the Republicans are
wide awake In Perry, and that they
will give a good account of themselves
in October and November.
lit is well known that Tell City, two
miles below this place, il, and always
has been a strong Republican Town.
The Democrats have, of late, been
laborinp most assiduOusly to get
foot hold in the place, and to make
an impression on the minds OF the
neaDle. and as a means of doing
something In that way, last Wednes-
dav the Democrats of this place and
Of Hawesville, KY, assembled In Tell
Citv to raise Seymour and Blair
mole. You may judge of their sue
cess when / tell you that but three
citizens of Tell City attended the pole
raising. This would not look like
this labor of love on the part of the
Democrats of Cannelton and Hawes-
vile, was appreciated In the highest
degree by the Tell Cityites.
When the pole had been raised. as
is the custom at q good gathering "
of Democrats. they partook freely Of
lager. As the lager began to work,
their pugil5stic pr0pensities began to
develope, and before the crowd left
the place. many quarrel had taken
place. While on the boat, as it was
returning to Cannelton, scene of in
Edeseribable confusion took place. Ii

A Catholic priest who commanded
the peace, and who attempted to sep
arate the fghtists, " received himself
several stunning blows. Even be
: clothed with all the power of the holy
Office of the priesthood, could not
cheek those maddened and Infatuated
Democrats. During this scene oil
: confusion and excitement, men were
! frequently heard to cheer, at the tor
of their voice, for JEFF. Davis, anc
even after they had reached Camel
4 ton they oheered for the man of pet
ticoats. 1t is not thought here tina
this demonstration was at all damag
! ing to the cause of Republicanism.
On Wednesday night, after The
} smoke of this Democratic victory II

ence of the people of that place a
