DAILY INTELLIGENCER.
Tuesday, Nov. 2. 1880.
LAST NIGHT OF THE CAMPAIGN.

The final effort Of both parties, look
ing to the battle of today. wss made
yesterday. From early morning the
preparations vent on, AMI as evening
approached were more active. more
earnest AMI mme exciting. Il became
evident that tao Democrats were en-.
deavoring to overcome the desperate
odds against them. looking to effect
something extraordinary by the DEM
onstration they were about to put forth.
The Republicans were not to beoatdone
and they worked quietly and deteru'in-
edly and as the ultimate result showed.
to much more purpose. Afew eompar-
isons will establish The truth Of what
we cay. The Republicans had two
magnificent bonfres. each Of which
was larger than the one lit by their
political opponents They also had .
procession, while the De@ocrsts bad
none, and the Republican procession
was the longest and greatest IN point
OF numbers ever seen in the Territory.
Several hundred torchlights were in IT,
and score ofnen engaged in sandina
of fireworks. Not even bunch Of
frecrsckors was fired OF in honor Of
Burke. The Republicans also fred =
salute, but nary gun belched forth
Democratic powder. The Democrats
iudulged in the extravsgancs OF baud

followed them, and the dissmilarity
OF their appearance TO the long Repub-
licsn procession made the former look
contemplate enough. fhe Democratic
Hall was not full by long shot, while
the Opera House occupied by the Re
publicans was not half big enough to
bold the mass Of ladies and gentlemen
who we're anxious to get inside. An

demonstration. Not the slightest act
of theirs could be construed into so
cial improperly. while ON the contrary
insults from Democrats were free and
foul enough. The most common Of
these was the blowing OF fish horns by
q lot Of boys. intended 10 drown the
music and disturb the movements of
those in the procession. There we're
also shouts and jeers. all Of which must
react upon those who instigated and
perpetrsted them.
The Democrats met in Yeslcr's Hall,
and were addressed by l. b Andrews.
w ii White and G ii Larrabee. The
speech Of the former fell Hat enough
upon the hundred voters before whom
i: WA delivered. His renegade selfish
position in this campaign cannot be ap-
preciated even by Democrats. The
speech of Nj White was of more
.enliYening character. but was persona
and bitter. and not Of the kind tn do
Burke good. Larrabee was also often
% sively personal, and dry as usual. if aud
he hung on little longer. would have
sdcceeded 10 clearing the Hall.
BY o'clock every foot OF room in
the Opera House was occupied by in
tslligent and patriotic ladies' and gen.
tlemen Of this city and the surround.

tue vital issues Of the present cam paign
discussed by men of ability ami repu-
tation.

The President introduced Judge ia.
cobs, who proceeded 10 discuss briefly
the attitude OF the Democratic party
toward the railroad. He showed that
the grant to the railroad company was
In harmony with the plstfosm of the
Democratic party. and that the restric-
ton placed upon the company were
Republican aud not Democratic meas
ures. and that John ] McGilvra wa
