Old Probs favored the Democracy
Saturday, and true to his prediction the
sun shone out with resplendent rays
throughout the day, and sank behind
the hills of Ohio in the face of clear
sky, all of which was the cause of much
rejoicing by the Democrats, Saturday
night being the time set for the jollifca-
ton meeting in honor of the recent VIC
tories in the October States. Through
out the day numerous vehicles were no
ticeable on our streets, well filled with the
sturdy yeomanry of Ohio county,
who had rallied hither to
witness the demonstration and
to participate in the festivities incident
thereto, many of the vehicles being deco
rated with profusion of bunting. AT
about seven o'clock in the evening, large
crowds began assembling at the different
ward club rooms and at the central rooms
on Main street, where they were to re-
ceive torches previous to forming into
line at the Capitol building square. In
short time the large number OF torches
which had been procured were in the
hands of voters, and still the crowds
surged to and fro in front of the build.
ings, eager to secure torch, and great
disappointment was manifested when it
became known that of the 2,6OO torches
in the hands of the committee, all had
been disposed of, and many people were
left unprovided for. However, the next
best thing to carrying torch was done
by those who had arrived too late, and a
great number fell into line without them.
At the Capitol building square the
scene was magnificent, and the lurld
glare of the torches and innumerable red
and blue fires, penetrated through the
lowering cloud of smoke which oe' rspread
the city, and reflected far up into the
heavens beyond. On every side came
squads of torch-bearers from different
sections of the city, and from Bellaire,
Martins Ferry and Bridgeport,
to swell the ranks of the now jubllant
Democracy, and the hearty cheer OF well
come that arose from the Threats of the
people who lined the pavements on
either side of the street, as new club
put in appearance, was deafeniag, and
came echoing back from the mountains
in Ohio, as though our sister State was
the rejoicing likewise at brilliant prospects
OF the future.
Finally, the procession being formed,
order was given for the long column to
move, and it marched down towards mar
ket street, filing to the right at the custom

down Seventh to Maine, down Name

As the procession moved over the
route, the streets, the windows, and in
some instances even the roots
of the houses were crowded
with spectators, large proper
ton of whom were ladies, and who did
all in their power in the way of cheer
ing and waving of handkercbiefs to make
the affair a success A noticeable feature
of the procession was the numerous trans
parencies, many of which were made
especiallv for the occasion, and contain
some decidedly good hits at the opposi-
