shone a display that was the boosted
test Of Radical power. 1t goes to snow
that the Democrats all over the county
have been aroused and are fully awake,
and as their procession outnumbered
the Republicans, so will their votes out
number them at the ballot box in Octo-
Der and November.
The Republicans.
For at least two weeks back the Re-
publicans have been making extraordi-
nary preparations for their parade on
Saturday night. All honor to them for
their success. They had very fine
procession and did themselves no end
OF credit. When it is said they fell short
OF the Democrats by only a lew humid
red, it is paying them u compliment, by
allowing them a great many. We would
not abate one 1.-THE of their due and will
say they marched well aud behaved
better.
The procession formed at the Capito!
and marched in the following order.
Col. Travis and STAFF.

1hlId w~ard-Capt, Jones,

Young Mems q. * A. Club-Capt, Bailey.
Martins Ferry Club-Capt. Lash.
COlOrcd Club from Martins Ferry,
Eighth w~ard-Capt. ID. McCready.
The Republicans changed their line OF
march several times, it is said, and this
brough the two professions together
oitener than was necessary, though no
Earring resulted.
At LlBelie street a meeting was held,
and Capt. Lorenzo Daniord, OF Bellaire,
was the orator. From thence the clubs
separated and marched home.
Parade Pellets.
1t was glorious.
The office OF Marshal is no sinecure.
The Wcllsburg club had some very
opposite notices.
Capts. Devries, Mason and Wilson, of
the South Side, illuminated handsomely.
The Radicals r%cjoiced over their loss OF
$4,000 in Maine.
Blaine's hand in the ballot box was
the subject OF a sketch on m trans
parency, and Garfield embarking for
Salt river on another.
Ahont midnight a lively little fight
occurred at the orner of Market and
Fourteenth streets. The Colored troops
were passing up, making considerable
noise, and became involved in a row with
a few Democrats. Presently some Re-
publicans happened along and took up
the ~iracaS, which o transferred to
them exclusively. Nobody badly hurt.
From all accounts the visitors from up
the river had a lively time OF it, going
home. The Wellsburg Democrats out
numbered the Steubenville Radicals and
had things all their own way. Just
how far the row extended is not known
butirom the reports in circulation things
grew very warm. Shots were fired and
windows broken, but by which crowd
is not known.
There came near being a bad accident
in front OF the Mcclure House as the
cavalry came by. They were away in
the rear. and the captain ordered a
trot and they started. One cavalry
man did not see the hole caused by the
water pipe break and down into 1t he
went. The three horsemen following
him could not stop in time and they
went down also. Fortunately no dam
aye was done outside oil q few bruises 10
both men and beasts.
A scene occurred on Main street
which, ii repeated, will he the cause OF
a broken cOlored head. Both professions
were passing a certain point where a
group of Democratic ladies were stand
ing. One OF them cheered for Hancock
and a member of one OF the negro clubs
turned to her and made a most vulgar
and indecent remark. No men were
near or the words would have been
struck back with a sound thrashing.
The colored clubs have a right to par
ade, but ii they would avoid a riot in
which they would be inevitably worsted
they had better contine their vulgarity
to their own set.
Campaign Notes
A regular meeting of the Young Mems
Democratic Club will be held this even
ing. Business of importance will come
up and a full attendance is requested.
Tonight, in the Eighth ward, Col.
Ben Wilson will deliver an address on
the live questions OF the day. The Col
onel is in fine trim, and will make an
unusually good speech. He. has made
several speeches in this county recently,
and they are spoken OF as unusually
fine. The meeting will no doubt be a
good one, and the Colonel will tell some
wholesome truths.
SATURDAY AT DALLAS,
Correspondence OF the Register.
In pursuance of arrangements pre-
viOuslv made by the executive commit
e, the Democracy raised a Hancock
aud EnG,lsh pole on Saturday last at
Dallas, and had speeches from Hons.
Ben Wilson and Fontain Smith, II a
candidate for Congress and the other
candidate for State Senate.
The Republicans had a meeting at the
same time and in the same town. They
had the advantage ofhaving agood brass
band, and consequently more ladies
and children, and then the place OF their
meeting had the advantage of a good
shade. Notwithstanding this fact the
number Of voters at the Democrats was
as large ii not larger than the Republic
cans had. After dinner and Just before
the speaking began an effort was made
to have a joint discussion between
Messrs. Wilson and Smith, for the DEM
ocrats, and Mr.. Dovenor, for the Repub-
licans, but this could not be agreed
upon.
The Republicans offered this as their
