and sustained enthusiasm. to help
swell the vast procession and grand

visitors, were the Council Grove and
Dunlap Aambeau clubs. Council Grove
has done herself proud. But on this
occasion she has, like Emporia, outdone
herself. They came down with one OF
the largest flambeau clubs in the state
containing q full hundred members
The DunlaY boys are good ones, too

And then tho Reading fiambeaux.
They too have distinguished tn, m.
selves, aud all in u good

own the heartfelt thanks of EmpOria
and OF all good Republicans throughout
our broad commonwealth tor the kind
ness and the presence OF our ntighbors
and our friends who would and will
be equally welcome in any capacity for
the sake OF the same cause.
AS the twilight began To fall the
crowds of people began pouring toward
Sixth aud Commercial from every direc-
ton. 1t seemed as If the. darkness had
poured forth and turned loose horde
after horde-thousands from the north,
thousands from the souLh, thousands
from the east and west, ali eagerness
and anticipation, all lhusiasm, and all
on the tip-toe Of expectancy.
Soon the blare OF the bugle and flare
of the hambeau spoke IN tones and colors
TO vast and seething mulutudes who
lined the streets, crowded the corners,
doors, windows, piazzas and house tops
All were forGetful of everything but to
mud where to witness the splendor which
comes once lifetime. At O'Clock the
procession formed and started. 1t was
march TO victory. Those
who COMPOSED the rank and file were
brave mGn from the rank and file OF citi-
ZeRship about TO battle for cause. in
comparison with which the causes of
kings and princes pale in comparison,
for our sovereign Is the citizen, his
throne Is the nation and his sceptre is
the ballot. Preserve It's purity, and the
march Of Kansas will be remem bered
longer than Sherman's march To the sea.
