THEsrREEr PARADE.

Most Magnificent Denomination aud
Display Last Night-The streets Sea
of Fire aud an Ocean OF Euthusiasn,
The demonstration last night in this
city was certainly one OF the. largest and
most imposing that has ever been seen
hereabouts. Notwithstanding the fact that
other engagements deferred most of the
clubs from neightoring towns from being
present, yet the enthusiastic and general
turnout OF our city and county clubs, aug
mented by our neighbors from Bridgeport
and Martins Ferry made up a procession
that has never been surpassed in this city
for beauty of appearance, excellence in
marching, high proficiency in drill and
general department. 1t had been prear-
ranged that the procession would be made
up on Maine street, the right resting on
Twelfth, and at these points at half past
seven the various clubs in the city assem-
bled, each properly oticered and uni
formed. About Is minutes OF s the
Young Men Garfield and Arthur Club,
Capt. q. E Baily, seventy.two men, headed
by the Wheeling City Band, marched to a
point near 1lth street, on Main, where
they rested until the other companies got
into position, which they did in the fol-
lowing order:

third, down Twenty.third TO Market, up
Market to the Postoftice, where the clubs
south oil the creek and OF East Wheeling
were dismissed.
Along the whole line OF march, at near
ly every turn was one blaze OF red aud
other colored lights, the store rooms, and
other places OF business all along Main
street to Tenth were beautiful with bunt-
ing and Chinese lanterns. Beginning
with the Grant House, which was pro-
fusely decorated with bunting, flags and
lanterns, Main street, north Of Tenth, was
one blaze Of light and beauty.
The Anderson boarding house, and
particularly that part occupied by Col.
Sterling. was deliberately and tasteiully
trimmed out in flags and lanterns, while
thesdlsplay OF fireworks and red light was
grand.
Logan, List & Cos, Drug House, the
residences OF ]. N. Vance, D. @. List, ST.,
D. Q. List, IT,, DR.. Ulrich, Jacob Snyder,
o. O. Dewey, W. A. Isett, G. K. McMech-
On, and George K. Wheat, were all beau
lifully aud tastefully Illuminated and dec.
GRATED. Fl. X. Lists entire residence and
grounds were illuminated and ornament.
cd In manner that attracted universal
attention and admiration. Farther north
the residences OF Jacob and
George Wise, William II. Irwin,
Col. Fish, Captain Jim Mcdonald and
VIM. Ripley all attracted their share OF ad-
miration. There were scores Of other
houses equally beautiful, and we do not
omit the names Of the residents on account
OF space, but because we did not know them
nor from our position in the ranks were we
able TO ascertain them. Everybody
did nobly and never did North
Wheeling, and especially North Main
street, shine so resplendently, and
do herself and the thousands OF Re.
publ icans the honor she did last night.
Market street, from Filth down to Twelfth
was only less beautiiulthan Main, and
showers OF rockets and Rom an candles
lit the way for the procession MS It slowly
made its way down street.
