GRAND TORCHLIGHT PROCESSION

J
noon, was, without doubt, the largest and
most enthusiastic political demonstration
ever made in the city of Richmond, and the
torch-light procession at night was the larg-
est, best equipped, most orderly, and i'm.
pressiye that ever passed through our city.
The entire effort was credit to the able
and energetic committee who had the ar
rangements in hand, to the Republicans of
the entire State, and to the principles and
candidates of the party of progress; and
furnished the most gratifying evidence of
the popularity of the good cause in the Old
Dominion. By their works we shall know
them; and the work performed yesterday
is ali earnest that the work will be well
done throughout the campaign, and fitting
" crowned with a glorious success in. No
