The Republican CLUBS were OUT IN
blaze Of glory Saturday night. They were
dazzling in their brilliancy and eciiPsed
all former parades. The Republicans are
alwsys in the advance Of the Democracy
in the matter Of parades in this city, both
in get up and the precision Of their march
inc. Thcae are noticeable features, and
are conceded by the opposite side.
The Republicans formed their line on
chapline street and were marsbaled by
Col. ". Il. Travis; Major !. W. Lewis;
Major James Day and Adjutant Harry
Hubbard. At s o'clock the procession
started, led by the Young Mems Garfield
club, bearing red lanterns and wearing
white hats, aud making decidedly hand |
some advance guard OF the column, The
Wheeling City Band followed, rousing the
enthusiasm by their inspiring music. Inc
clubs forming the regimental line came IN
regular order as follows: First ward junior
club. First ward senior club, Capt. QUO
Third ward club, Capt. T. II. jones' Fifth

As the procession moved up Chapline
street, the Democratic line had 10 be pass
ed, and, to the great credit Of both sides,
| moi single harsh word was uttered. The
| line proceeded across Eleventh street TO
| Market, up Market 70 Tenth, down Main
10 Twelfth, up Twelfth TO Market,
down Market to Sixteenth, and
thence TO the place Of meeting at the cor
ner OF Wood and Seventeenth streets. The
boys were received with the greatest en-.
thusiasnl along the entire line Of march,
and drew from the people on the side
walk the most hatteriDg compliments.
The display made by the Republicans was
certainly very credita6le, owing TO the
short notice given the clubs 70 turn out.
| It Is proper TO say that some Of the elnos
[ did not have out their tull ioTce on
account OF not having their uniforms at
hand. In week all the clubs will be IN
/ formed and the next procession will wit
ness the full force mustered.
Attic corner Of Seventeenth and WOOD
streets stand had been erected, where the
clubs massed. The crowd in attendance
numbered about two thousand, and
were attentive listeners 10 the speech oi

organized by calling Capt. John Carlin 70
4 Ihe Chair. Hon. Geo. B. Caldwell was
then introduced end spoke Tor over an
bour and bali, dealing with the tafih
question, and giving the record Of both
parties. He also treated at some
length the financial policy OF the Repub.
| ican party, and exposed the tAllacy oil
Greenbackism. He closed his remarks
with glowing eulogy on the Republican
candidate for President, and when he
finished was greeted with rousing cheers
Hisspeech was logical and contained many
points which made an impression on his
audience.
Mr.. A. W. Campbell, who occupied
seat on the stand, was called for, but ex
cnsed himself owing tothe lateness OF the
hour. Captain Doyener was also callet
for, but excused himself aud proposed
three cheers for General Garfield, which
were given with great JUNCTION. The audi
ence then gradually dispersed, and here
ended a very successful and enthusiastic
meeting, which will influence the success

Saturday night was rather lively ont
in political circles in this city. Besides
the immense Republican demonstration
which, by the way, was entirely unpre
meditated on the part Of the party, tn,
! Democrats also had aturn.out, and yer!
large one SO far as numbers are concerned
} Richland township, Fulton, Benwood ant
Bellaire all sent their "mites," and wbel
these joined the different ward clubs
about. eight O'Clock, procession Of con
siderable proportions was the result. Jno
G. Hoffman, Jr., acted as Chief Marshal
while O. A. schaeffer, Leo Riester, Killial
K,ess, Joe He's and William Friese actet
as aids. After marching through thu
principal streets, the head OF the column
reached the old Washington Mill property
. about hali.past nine. The Chairman o
. the County Committee, Mr.. Kimberly call
| ed the meeting to order, and named l.. @
Q Stifel az Chairman. Mr.. Stiiel, in a few
= remarks, introduced Judge Laing; Whose
} speech was entirely in German, and il
! consequence there was but q slim audi

man, and rather progressing in appear
ance.

position on this. Col. Hearne was called
70 the Chair by Mr.. W. @. Handlan, wht
proceeded without further preamble
10 introduce Col. Robert White. Thu
|. crowd, let US here remark, was very smal
at this stand, but the Colonel began:
envy friends, when you see lot oil mer
with dark lanterns, do you suspect any
good OF them2 Well, tonight saw lo
Of gentlemen with big white hats on thei
heads and dark lanterns on their arms q
the head OF the Radical procession, and
tell you thought It good place fortheu
TO be: Well, dark lantern men have I
good deal OF impudence, and will Otter
slip in where they have no business. To
night as our magnificent Democratic pro
cession went along Chapline street Thu
band OF dark lantern men slipped in be
. tween their ranks. Our Democratic friend
were too well trained and too well educa
ted. however, to interfere with those whC
were marching TO their death and let then
pass"
the Colonel has a keen appreciation o
! the humorous, and tells joke with tinl
! etfec. and so good one rs he had just mar
ated could not fail to please and the usua
modicum Of applause greeted 1t. -
"Jeems" A. Garfield came to the from
as usual, and for the next fifteen or twenty
minutes was mangled in horrible man
ner by the terrible political scalpel Of thu
, gifted orator; his Rri.tari2 record; BIZ
lifelong antipathy to the patriotic Demo
cratic party; his frantic efforts to reduce
: and humiliate Hancockand other glaring
: enormities were pictured with telling Ell
feet and wonderful fidelity, and the work
ingmen were led to infer that in the event
OF his election a dynasty, more terrible
than any Sin the annals Of history" would
be erected on the ruins oil their fortunes
