THE wELLsBURG o
last night was Wellsburg's night, and
right rOvally did il come TO time IN iur-
nIShing a Democratic boom, the like oil
which it has not seen in a long time.
Notice was given in yesterday morn
ing's REGISTER of the cln,t mplaetd
blowout, and q large number OF our
boys expected to attend; but a report
was generally circulated at q O'Clock,
the time the special train was to leave,
that a later train would 80 out at 6:4J,
10 allow the working men a chance to
20 out in force. Inquiries at railroad
headquarters ELECTED the fact that no
such late train was expected 10 leave.
This news came too late to countcract
;he first report, and the result was that
hundreds were i"fL behind on [: Q
sr.nyth Of the ia'55 rIu.Or, the origin
OF which many Democrats are a~IXl0usty
trying 20 fad out. However, about 100
of our bows boarded tine train, headed by
Nass' band. They arrived a Wells
burg at Z o'clock. The people Ul BroOHe
and especially the residents OF Wells
bury, seemed alive 10 the enthusiasm
which ~isswecpinc the country IN favor
OF Democracy. They had heard the
news :rOm Maine,and brilliantly lighted
residences, transparencies and bunting
cleaned out and waved welcomes which
more than made the procession bring
down" the line of march.

famous Cannonsburg, Pa, band, and q
