Garfield Ready Workers.
The march took in the more promi-
nent parts of the city, and all along the
route the homes of Republicans, and
an occasional Democratic home were
illuminated from basement to garnet,
windows were gay with tri-colored
curtains, national flags were displayed
everywhere, and piazzas, lawns and
trees were ablaze with tri-colored Chi
nese lanterns. The display of fire.
works and Examinations were contin-
uous along the line of march. The
scene was joyous inspiration.
More than thousand torches were
borne in the evolutions of the march,
five bands and the drum corps lent
the inspiration of martial music to the
occasion, the oyerfowing joy of the
column found expression in repeated
and loud huzzas, which made the
very heavens ring and send back the
echo of gladness. It was a gala time
for Racine. and thousands of her citiz-
ems lined the streets and witnessed
with delight the dubious demonstra-
ton. The transparencies carried were
numerous, and the notices were to
the point. Among them we note:
A Union of Hearts.
Racine and Kenosha.
Our mothers, wives and sisters rejoice
with us.

On the front of the porch of the
house of George Slauson, Esq, which
stands opposite the east public square,
was displayed large and beautiful
half-length Illuminated portrait of the
President-elect. AS each company APP
preached the portrait, it was halted,
brought to a face, and three rousing
cheers and tiger were given.
The line of march was ended when
the head of the column reached Third
street, and the Kenosha companies
were halted directly opposite the tenn
perance coffee rooms. The Republi-
cans Of Racine had made ample pro-
vision for refreshments for their
guests. The long march, the hearty
cheering and the cool night air were
promotive of keen appetites, and the
Kenoshans were told off in companies
of 125 and marched into the coffee room
in succession, and were RECALLED with
an abundance Of fine oysters and fra.
grant coffee.
The hospitality of Racine was over
flowing and hearty in the extreme, and
will never be forgotten by her Keno
sha guests. In the coffee room the
Major in command of the marching
column in a few eloquent words gave
them staying welcome to the Belle
City. In fact, the Major is Staver in
name and nature as everybody knows.
Hon. III. B. Hinsdale, of Kenosha, res
pended for the guests, thanking most
heartily Major Staver and the Repub-
licans of Racine for the cordial greet
ing and hearty hospitality extended to
them. The occasion inspired Mr..
Hinsdale, and in a few eloquent SEN
fences he referred to the glorious vic
tory which was the occasion Of their
rejoicing. The eloquent words of both
gentlemen were responded to with
ringing cheers and huzzas which
fairly shook the walls.
Four companies were detailed to es-
cort the guests to the depot, and they
took the cars for home at 11.3O P. M.
Nothing occurred to in the least mar
the pleasure Of the occasion. The
event afforded the opportunity Of ex-
preston Of the exuberant joy which
filled the hearts of the people for the
grand victory won for human rights
and good government.
