DE('ORAruOND DAY,

Since the management of the "decOra-
ton ceremonies has passed out Of the
hands Of the so-called "Union League"
into the hands of the citizen since 1t has
become ceremony in which Democrats
may share without being insulted by the
political demagogues who too often pro-
nounce the GRAFTON; since 1t has become
an affair of the people instead Of fanati.
cal party, 1t Is the duty Of every citizen
to take part in its observance.
