THAT PRocEssIoN.-After a week
ofzpreparation and a great deal Of
drumming for help, securing delega-
tions from Henderson and Mt. Yer.
non, the Democracy turned out IN
force. At about eight o. clock the pre-
cession commenced moving from the
corner Of Third and Main, down tc
Second Street, aud up Second Street
and thence on its lonely march, The
procession was immense, reaching
just Que and half squares, and no
more. There was not more than TIVE
hundred men, all told, in the process
sion; the balance were boys who haC
nothing else to do, but delighted il
the fun. Of all the professions eve
gotten up in Evansville. it was mos
: emphatically the most perfect failure
The Democrats lost greatly by no
having the procession before thei
S voters repaired to the country again
n or resumed their duties on steamboats,
+ The notices on the transpareucie
!, were stale and fat, there being not
single pointed or witty motto on an
of the few transpareacies Candi
Democrats regarded it fit failure
IS So far as enthusiasm was concerned
5 it was even more insignificant. and a
T. the procession moved from " grocer
), to grocery, the crowd grew beau
!. tifully less and small by degrees"
