SUBURBAN SIFTlNGS.

PRESUMPTION, Oct 22-The grand
rally OF the ''plumed knights" of Preemp-
ton took place last night The great and
only Petrie landed here betimes. The re-
ception committee was very conspi cuous
by its absence, and the (Hon) speaker,
after wandering around for while and
almost getting lost, was compelled to ems
quire of democrat the way to the repub-
lican headquarters. After much marching
around for about an hour, the great pro-
cession was formed in the mud and then
slowly struggled down through town. The
great exhibition Of fireworks was repre>
sented by half bunch of firecrackers.
The total number in the procession was
So, including boys and IA ladies. After
all the blow about republican hosts,
the leaders had to call upon Hamlet, Rey-
nolds and Cable Cable furnished Z men,
who after much labor managed to get here
on handcar. Hamlet sent eight or nine
men and about as many boys. The Rey-
nolds hosts was the most amusing feature
of the menagerie. When they were a
short distance from here they resembled a
few very few fire tlys.
Petrie was the speaker, who seemed to
talk most with the ladies, as he sail that
the ladies now were more beautiful than
they were twcnty-fOur years ago, and
that all this was owing to republican rule,
and another thing was that the bonnets
were not so large AS they were twenty.
four years ago. He next made the start
ling assertion that there was no lady in
the audience who paid $50 tax on beer.
There were fully as many democrats in
the town as republicans, but as soon as
Petrie got to talking fashions and loading
his cannon with beer and bonnets, they
left in disgust. On the whole it was one
of the slimest affairs that ever took place
