Greeley and Brown flag, over Washing
ton street, between the Bardwell House
and the Town Hall. The cannon, which
had been used to ratify the Baltimore
nomination, or endorsement, was also
brought into requisition and a salute
fired in honor of ''the Democratic vic
tory in North Carolina" About the
time the last gun was fred, the hour of
