rhe Democratic Rally To-night.


The Democratic meeting tonight on
Market Square bids fair to be we'll atten-
ded and those who are in doubt-who are
hesitating whether to leave the Republi-
can party, as we'll as all Greenbackers are
urged to bespresents and hear the able
speakers who will address the meet
ing.
The Hon, William j. Hynes. of Chicago,
Hon. Lawrence Harmon, OF Peoria, and
Hon. Chas. Cameron. of Chicago; are
among the most eloquent debaters on the
rostrum. These gentlemen deal with
facts discuss living issues, and make no
charges which cannot be abundantly pro-
ven.
The people are ready for change in
the administration. The corruption of
the Republican party is susceptible Of
proof, For years the tpeople have been
disgusted with the transactions of the Re-
publican leaders andshave been crying
aloud for change. This change the peo-
pie voted for in 1875, and elected 8. J..
Tilden and Thos. A. Hendricks president
and vice president of the United States,
and yet by the most outrageous frauds the
people were denied their choice. denied
the change they voted for-by the corrupt
leaders of the Republican party aided by
perjured scoundrels paid to do the work
of these stalwart leaders. Thus was the
change of administration delayed for four
years The people are now ready for q
change. and this time will have it, There
will be no electoral commission in 1880,
but if the people by their votes lawfully
elect Gen. Hancock president of the Uni
ted States-mark the qualifying clause
please, you Republicans. If the people by
their votes lascfa Hy elect Gen. Hancock
president of the United States-he aill
take his seat.
The scandals under Republican rule
have become a stencil in the nostrils of
the people. The hypocrisy of Re-
publican leaders. the unfulfilled prom
ises of the Republican party, and the
policy of sectional hate has served to dis
gust many conscientious Republicans,
and they are now pronounced for change
believing that our material interests, north,
east. south and west can be best subserv-
ed under Democratic rule.
Let every Democrat. every Greenbacker
and all doubling Republicans attend the
Democratic meeting tonight on Market
Square.

who had otiiclated as best man to the poor
bridegroom, lose in his seat when Mr.
Christiany's name was called in the senate
roll, and begged leave to state that his
colleague had paired In Philadelphia
the bride was homesick, lonesome, and
wretched She wept and boohooed, swelled
her nose, and redeemed her eyes, called the
city stupid old town, and probably
thought the same thing of her spouse, if
she was forbearing enough not to say so.
On her return there was questioning and
querying among society ladies as to whether
hey should call on her, but Mrs. Fish set
tied that matter by being almost the first
one to call and congratulate the lite bride.
Among the rumors was one of q gay young
lover from the south, who had given her up
for the while. promising "to wait for her."

the senator At reception at the
White House, which they attended soon
after, Senator Christiancy and ms bride

in her wedding-dress'o white silk, with
long, pulled plastron down the front, like
an infants christening robe, she chung
timidly to his arm, her eyes gazing round

seventh heaven to which she had at last
penetrated. To it all now she has had to

last appearance in society here was at Lady
Thonrton's reception, last February just
after Chrstiancy's confirmation as our min
lister to Peru, and fatterine attentions were
then paid them during the evening. As
soon, now, as the present complications be-
tween Peru and her negRbors are adjusted,
Mr., Christiancy will return, ard thea wo to
the little woman who once bewitched his
venerable fancy.
