Some Special Features.
Owing to the lack of torches tho limo
was not rs brilliant in some parts as it
might have been, but the blaze Of fire
works, bon fires and tho illumination of
residences and places Of business alOn.
the route shed t!;:ir light upon the line
sufficiently to make conspicuous the more
picturesque features of tho display.
Among these ono of the most striking was
the device rugged up by Mr.. Henry F..
Hartman, the popular limo burner Of East
Lampcter. 1t consisted of his team draw
ing wagon Oh which were 4 party of men
engaged in drilling rock, and it attracted
a good deal of attention and applause.
Bucky'' Hambright's Salt River boat
and the disconsolatc crew Of representa-
tive Republicans was another unique fea-
ture. The Yohn steer was driven in single
harness to 4 wagon at the side
of which was the inscription "Our
OK is Not Gored." Nearly every division
of the line carried banners with a great
variety OF comical and suggestive notices
such as 100000 Majority" :" After
Twenty Years Absence We have Como to
Stay" There were many gaily decorated
vehicles with men riding in them, and
groups of merry maskers. The Seventh
ward banner had a representation of the
''cooked coon," and the Mint, ward
among its various devices carried 4 live
rooster and an opossum, loose ON top of
the banner, labelled They Had No
Coon"
Tho line of march was as follows
Down North Queen to Center
Square, to South Queen, to Middle
to E. King, to Shippen, to Orange, to
Duke, to James, to Mulberry, to Walnut,
to Prince, to Orange, to Mary, to w.
King, to Dorwart, to Manor, to w. King,
to Centre Square. to +. King, to Marshall,
cOunter:narch to Lime, thence to the resi-
dence of w. U. Hensel, esq.,, No. 43 North
Lime street and dismiss.
The il;uminations
AS will be seen it Was q very long route,
involving the marching by most of the
organizations Of about six miles through
muddy streets and in some places over
freshly macadanlize3 highways and
great deal of up and down hill work 50
that by the time of the cOuntermarch tho
line was well thinned out. The first of it
was halted at Mr. Hensel's house and the
Young Mems club with the Ironville band
rendered him u serenade. Later the
Ninth ward club and its baud also sere-
naded him, and in rcponse to calls, the
state chairman, WHO had marched over the
route in the ranks of his (the Second)
ward, appeared at his front door and made
a brief speech of congratulation to tho
Lancaster Democracy and of thanks for
their uniform courtesy to him.
The illumination of the city was very
general Democratic homes were lighted
from cellar to attic, tho blinds raised and
the windows, doors and interiors decorated
with flags, evergrcens, inscriptions and
portraits of the governor elect. 1t was
wonderful in how many places the
facc of Mir. Pattison was displayed. Of
public buildings the INTELLIGENCER
Office was conspicuous with lines of Ian
terms around every story Geo. Wallis,
Wacker's and John Pontz's and other Sd.
looms were brilliant, rs we'll as a number
Of other business places. Among the more
imposing and prominent residences of the
city that offs. II. Reynolds, esq.,, was hand
somcly and tastetully decorated and
made striking appearance also those of
A. j. SteiGman, esq. and Mrs. Kelley,
Mr.. G. N. Reynolds, T. A. Metzger, X.
II. Brubaker, Newton Lightncr, w.
W. Brown, II. T.. Slaymaker, Mrs.
Reilly, S. p. Eby, Ii. L. Swarr. II. E.
Leaman and many others in tho interior |
Of the city. But tho most effective and |
illuminatiOns were in some CT |
tho smaller houses, where live Democrats |
Of humber means but Of equal fervor and |
On Middle, DOrwart and |
Manor streets especially there were solid |
blocks, in which not 4 dark window was |
20 be seen. Rows of blazing candles |
made a most brilliant effect, heightened |
~ wreaths, notices, portraits, flags and |
unique devices of every sort. AS the |
parade moved past these the enthu
;iasm Of the clubs was unbOundcd, |
Ind cheer after cheer from tho ranks sa-
uted tho occupants Of the houses. On
the front of the house Of Geo. POntz, the |
bard, were q number Of blazing
orches, which lighted up the whole
square. Hundreds Of houses testified by |
heir display tho political sentiments of
he people who lived in them and their re-
oicings in Democratic victory.
The whole affair passed OH without un-
,ieasant incident or disorder, and the gen.
raj decorum which prevailed was OBJ
erved with pleasure by good citizens of
IL parties. NJ. Brosius, esq, defeated
candidate for congressman-at-
arge, viewed tho procession from his
ront door and was saluted with cheers of
ood will to which he gracefully bowed
NEW TICKETS.
