hours" Sunday morning. b..
The RAIDS bad conscripts from three
states. six cities and ten villages in their
army on Saturday night.
The RAIDS had larger turnout, but the

the I. and Ii. demonstrations. ..r. .
The Tilden and Hendricks procession
was heartily cheered by the citizens on
the line of march.
Tilden's name must have been yelled
80, 900, 600, OOO,O 600 more or less on Sat-
urday night.
The fumes from the lamps-of course
it was nothing else-capsized many a
HAYES and Wheeler man last night.
Nineteen cars came down Saturday
night from Pittsburgh, Steubenville and
ether cities laden with RAIDS to join IN
the march.
The Democratic outpouring was from
the city alone, almost without notice,
with the exception of about two hundred
from Benwood, Bellaire and Bridgeport
The burrahing for Hayes was mostly
in the Republican ranks while the
hurrahing for TildeR was general on the
sidewalks as well as in the ranks.
Eleven hundred and elghty.seven Til
dea and Hendricks voters passed over to
Bridgeport. This Is the toll keepers
count.
The allowing mob" as the Intett'-
qsncer calls the Democratic parades, was
wildly exemplifed in many places in
the Radical ranks on Saturday night.
Many of the delegations in the Repub-
liean procession Justify paid respects to
the REGISTER office as they passed down
Market street. We appreciate the COM
pliment.
MANY residences were Illuminated, and
brilliant-hued flames assembled as the long
line of merchants, mechanics, clerks and
working en in the Tilden and Hen
bricks procession filed by the respective
points on Saturday night.
The Martins Ferry Democratic dele
CATION were unable to come over to the
CITY on account of the Republicans having
chartered the ferry boat. They marched
to Bridgeport, however. They numbered
l55 footrnen and 81 horsemen.
Oh, but the RAIDS In procession were
mad because the citizens on the side
walks along the line of march persisted
in indicating their preference by cheer,
| ing for Tilden and Hendricks Some
of the RAIDS were even so intolerant and
demonstrative as to come out of the
ranks to brighten people into silence.
A volunteer, with II. & W. stamped
on his cape, was found trying to cover
| the area in front of Turner " Dillon:
door, on Market street, Saturday night
Some Of the T. Il H. boys kindly picked
him up and conveyed him to Nc

In South Wheeling, as Tiiden and
Hendricks uniformed club were coming
up from Bellaire to join the Democratic
procession, they passed knot Of Re-
publican ladies and gentlemen. The
groupe taking them for Hayes and

the proprietor OF the premises IN from

As the 7. and II. boys neared the group'

as these: How nice they look" What
Inc men, they are, how far superior to the
Democrats, don't they march splendidly,
and so on. By this time the Tilden ane
Hendricks boys, were abreast Of tht
groupe, and gallsntly responded to tn
illumination, and waving of handker
