with the shrieks of the locomotive and
whistles rent the air and were heard for
miles around. The train steamed
slowly into the depot, which was reached
at 8.35 p. m. The Idrizzling rain which
set in early in the morning and con-

no terrOrs for the multitude, who
thrOnged the streets leading TO the
depot and the depot itself, until
they were absolutely impossible.

Republicans and men of every shade OF
political belief wed with each other in

tinued to fall In q determined driZZle
and the air was chilly and uncomfortable
as on a bleak November night, were
packed with people; stores and houses
were illuminated as never before In the
