The Republican Rally.


There was large and enthusiastic turnout OF
the Montpelier Republicans on Friday evening
The painful disaster, recorded elsewhere, cast
deep shadow over the spirits Of the participants
and suspension Of the contemplated proceed
ings would have been more in harmony with In
dividual feeling; but the necessities Of the oc-
casion seemed to require that there should be no
interruption in the proposed programme Ac-
cordingly, the
MAGNIFICENT BANNER
purchased by the Young Republicans, which had
been placed in position between the post-oflice
and the Ballou building, was flung out above
State street about seven o'clock, amid the cheers
Of the assembled crowd, and saluted with the Star
Spangled Banner by the band. The banner Is
novelty In this village in the way Of political
paraphernaa. The groundwork Is open netting.
Across the upper end, scroll, In large letters,
are the words: Young Republicans OF Mont
peler" Mammoth portraits OF Garfield and
Arthur occupy the upper center, with Union
shield between them. Beneath, on separate
scrolls extending across the banner, are the
words: "For President, James A. Garfield of
Ohio" "For vice-president, Chester A. Arthur
Of New York" The enterprise Of the young
bloods has given the capital most attractive and
inspiring visible token OF the spirit that Is to ami
mate and prevail in the campaign now fully
opened. Honor to the Young Republicans!
