The Republicans attempted to be jolly last
saturday evening, Quite number of the sturdy
"old patriots" were pressed into line. We noticed
our old friend Dr.. Kachler and Father Welker,
late Of the Independent in the line yelling for
Whase Heller, as Justify as school boys. They
had about three hundred torches, more or Less
we think less After marching the city over they
stopped In front Of the American House when a
yell was set up for Kicks, to explain to the boys
what they were trying TO be jolly over. He un-
dertook the task, but some one reminded him that
Manly would be the next Recorder, and that
Pease wouldn't be the next Judge He didn't
undertake to explain how grandson of Presi.
dent had been slaughtered in Indiana, but tried
TO explain to the crowd that Tilden's barrel" of
money prevented them from carrying the State
by the promised $4,000. The boys didn't seem to
be satisfied with his explanations, and hence
made loud calls for Capt, Ulman, who in response
told them in his bland and happy style, that it
was all right, that Haze would carry Indiana next
time. Just never mind they understood what
they were about if the boys deserted. At the
close of Capt, Ulman's remarks, loud calls were
made for an eminent orator from New York, who
is said to be stopping at the American, but from
some cause they didn't trot him out The boys
think he wss enjoying part Of that Hayess
'barrel'-at least he come out the next day with
new silk hat on, which is suspicious, to say the
least
The Democrats had jollilcation on last Mon
day evening, which surpassed anything of the
kind ever witnessed in Massillon; fully six hun
dred torches were In line, and two hundred more
who were anxious to join In the procession, but
could not procure torches. The greatest enthusl-
asm prevailed throughout the whole evening.
The Massion citizens Band, the Brookheld
Band and the Drum Corps of the Tilden aud
Hendrickss Club furnished the music for the oc-
casion. Quite number of banners were carried

OH top was special attraction, aud beneath was |:

For the victory won IN the Hoosler State"
The line of march took in the first fourth, third
and second wards respectively The boys did
some enthusiastic cheering In passing the resi-
dence Of John G. Warrlck, Esq, in honor of his
liberality in presenting the club with two hun
dred torches. The whole procession stopped in

Band, A. Howell, Esq, complimented the club on
the magnificent display they had made, aud as

stimulated with the success In Indiana and the

bridge over the small majority claimed by the
Republicans, and add Ohlo's twenty-five electoral
votes to Indiana's fifteen. L. c. CJle Esq, was

the next President, That it was no longer a solid
South, or a solid North, but solid country we
need, At the close of Mr.. Coles remarks three
rousing cheers were given for our standard bearers
Tilden and Hendricks, after which the crowd
dispersed with the best of feeling Set Perry
