sounded the keynote of the cam
paign and cried fight to the bitter
end. The General reached here from

each having bands of music. Du.

Republican nominee for Lieutenant
Governor, arrived here in response
to telegram Of invitation, request
ing him to participate in the dem
onstration. He, with State Treasu.
rer Bailey, were at the depot in a
barouche, and when General Beaver
arrived he got in with them and
rode through the line, which extend
ed from the Lochiel Hotel to the de-
pot. Red lights in profusion lit up
the scene, and the cheering, as the
barouche passed by, was very hearty.
After General Beaver had entered
the hotel, the clubs massed on Mar

by both bands, the crowd cheering

the noise had subsided, Captain Geo.
G. Boyer, President of the Young
