Wheeling preparatory to their departure
for Martins Ferry, to attend the mass
meeting at that place, and at the time
of departure from the club rooms

ranks bearing torches. All along

numbers joined the ranks, hurrying from
their homes to do homage to those true
Retormers, Tilden and Hendricks.

buildings, Chinese lanterns were sus-
