EIt was splen 'splsy. The Repub.

9Th inst. Miss-BERr JONES grocery had
some candles in the windnws.. The Re.
publican club room in the second story
had some candlrs in the windows, and
an illuminated Cinnamon was carried
from the Gazette ON 70 anil suspandpd
from the club room window. That pic

didn't have his old pistol with him. A
bon fire in the street msde ...he darkness
visible" About twenty boys were very
enthusiastic; in fact they nlonopolized
the enthusiasm. JoHN w. DoHEsrY was
conspicuous. GOODRICH smoked and
gsxed at the "explosive rockei."' FRANK
MARTIN and john MoBLr worked ~
Roman candles, and dodge,i frequently
when the things spluttered and wouldn't
go off right. The repeated cheers for
HANCOCK annoyed the Chinese advc-
Gates. The crowd was composed of 10
Democrats to every Republicans. Tue
Roman candles made 'splen .splay -
There must have been 9 or To- dollars
worth OF fireworks. BILLY BEARDNoRE
contributed two cans Of tar to the bon
fire. The cheers for GARFIELD we're
few. The band proposed to play for
$40; the managers couldn't raise more
than s.; clear split the brnd didn't
play. The darkness north OF KErrERER
q HeEFrLER's store was intense, in fact
painful; the Republican managers felt il
deeply; the Democratic sympathies went
out toward them, but couldns quite
reach. We forgot to mention that q
hammer hung from window in the Re
publican club room :'also several small
flags. When the time arrived for the
speakers to appear there was long,
painful pause, and then the crowd Of
small boys yelled for DoHERrY, CASTLE
and JOHN BYERs; but neither appeared
and --and-the failure of the 'splay
became more and more apparent Some
candles we're displayed in several win-

man from tha. section informed boy
friend. privately, that the lights cut that
way we're part Of the performance
Had the night heen very dark one, the
people on the street might have thought,
from seeing lights IN several windows,
that some persons expected to be out
late and these we're to guide them to
their homes in safety; but the night not
being very dark, away from where the
was, we concluded that the
Republicans were really making an ef.
fort to jollify over GARFIELD's escape
from defeat.
