handsome flag, the gift OF loyal hearts and
fair hands, to the Junior Garfield and Ar

decorated with flags, notices and trans,
psrencies, presented an imposing and
elegant appearance. Mr.. Jno. w.

thrilling speech, and Capt. Fred. Fisher
received 1t with bushes, aud made brieI
speech OF acceptance. rendering their
many thanks OF the club. Jacob kemple,
Esq was the next speaker introduced.

teriug applause. and was often cheered
during his brilliant speech. He stated
that he was fresh from the interior, where
Democratic arguments were made to the
baser passions, rather than TO the in
teligence OF the people. He had
met some orators and leaders there, the
dirtiest, slimiest and meanest tadpoles
in the mud.hole Of the West Viz.
ginia Democracy. A party made up oil
nothing but hopes, wishes and dreamsi
whose platforms aud principles are as
varied and uncertain as the whims OF q
flirt at sweet sixteen.
Lincoln Bryant, Evansville boy OF II,
made handsome closing address to the
boys massed in front, aud the meeting
adjourned with three cheers for the entire
party.
