PARIS, Sept. 2l.-I Special Last night
Paris put on her gala attire. The whole
square seemed to be one blaze Of light,
In fulfillment of the request Of the ex-
ecutive nearly every business house in
the city was brilliantly illuminated.
The display of Il. :. Lynch was particu-
larry brilliant. The tOrchlight process
sion, composed of the various Demo-
cratic clubs in the county, formed near
the opera house and headed by Il band
and Il troop Of horsemen, marched down
Main street and around the square up
Wall street, thence over to Main and
down to the opera-houso agaiH. The
square was one dense mps5 Of
surging humanity. II seemed rs If the
whole country were present. There was
a brilliant display Of fireworks just mt
the start Of the torch light procession
which was kept up at intervals during
the entire evening. The usual political
anvil was brought into play and did
some resonant work. The announce
ment was then made that the crowd was
invited to the opera house to hear the
speeches. In very few minutes a
thousand persons had assembled there
aud hundreds were turned away.
After some music by tho band
James Baird, Of BaiIdstOwn,
was introduced and rccited some
original poetry on the tariff and other
political issues. IL was quaint and
characteristic. Mr.. Collins then intro
duced Judge Sills Hare as man who
! had done yeuman service in the dark
| days OF Democracy and had maintained
the rights Of Texans. Judge Hare be-
gan nv paying II high compliment to the
| speakers of the day. He said he was
! glad he lived in country whose people
demanded n good government, econOm-
ically administered. Upon the admin
istratiOn depends, in a great measure,
your prosperity. The Government con
trolls It's financial policy, and upon that
policy depends the state of
the money market and upon the
| individual prosperity. This is also
greatly affected by the manner aud
amount of taxation. Then followed a
fOrcible arraignmcnt of the Republican
! party on the score of dishonesty and
corruption. lie said tho people de-
manded a change. He said the object
OF government was TO got as good gov
| crnment ~ possible Tor IA little money
rs possible and that under the present
| system the people were paying too dear
| for their whistle. lie then spoke of re-
construction days and reconstruction
acts and their effects and closed with an
arraignment of the National banking
| system.
Col. Chenoweth was then introduced
as the pride of North Texas. Your re-
porter found it impossible to report Col.
Chonowoth's speech. He speaks so rap
idly that no one short of frst-class
shorthand reporter could report tho
exact words, and his language was SO
beautiful and Ornate that where tho OK
act words are not used it sounds COM
inonplace in comparison. Col. Cheuo-
weth was at his best. Enthuscd by the
music and the lights aud the immense
crowd, he soomed almost to lit his audi
ence to their feet by the occasional
| bursts of his matchless eloquonce. He
devoted himself almost exclusively to
the personnel of the candidates. lie
showed the effect Of the Blaine or ma
chine methods in politics. llo showed
up his record rs disclosed in the Multi
gan letters. He compared the "rcll the
truth policy of Cleveland with the
whlmpcriug letter sent to Fisher ON the
owe Oi the Cincinnati Convention. on
the whole, I was tho finest specimen
OF oratory that Lamar county over
listened to.
