The long talked Of parade OF tho Repub'
ucsn party came off on Saturday evening.
FOR about month past the managers
nave been busy making arrangements for
the event, aud clubs from every town In
the eastern part OF the state received in.
vltations to DO here. Tho manager of tho
affair was Frank SHREDDER, who two years
ago assisted In the defeat of General
Beaver. He received valuable assstancs
from Low Hartman aud other John
Stewart Republicans. Tho Stalyarts
wero very much disgustcd ut tho promi,
nence of these men In the affair, aud many
not only refused to take any part IN it, but
advised Others not to parade. No later
than Saturday morning there was row
over the turn out, but SHREDDER and his
partners were bull headed and declared
that the parade must take place. II did
come off and was q great disappointment
| to those who Witnessed ". BY actual
count there we're OLE persona in Hue, and
OF this number 500 were boys and visitors.
Among those who came from distance
| was the Young Mems club OF York, who
presented q tine appearance, in their bright
| red uniforms They also marched well.
| The other club worthy of u notoo was from
Columbia and 1t was we'll drillod. The
other visitors were from tho different
townships in tho county. There were
several organized clubs, but most OF the
paraders seemed to have como TO town ON
their own account. Twenty different kinds

neck with 'hummern whskey aud kept

have become famous, all along the line OF
march.
The clubs from this city, which were
uniformed for this parade, presented
funny appearance. Capt. ElEerly had
charge OF this affair and ho WAS greatly
annoyed by the bosses. Many piomincut
men Of the party were soen ia the lin0 aud
they walked side by side with wolf EnDwn
toughs. The club which was supposed tO
be the best was tho Young Mems, but they
looked like tramps alongside of similar
clubs from other towns PHuclpll mon
In the line OF this company, were Freddy"
Jacobs and others. The central club,
OF which Mr.. SHREDDER ia the distinguished
president, was the funniest organization in
line Men of oil kinds masquesalui as
business men" and tho many ki0ds OF
high hats presented iunuy sight. Boys,
who are sweeping out stores, wtro marched
as merchants and the crosd was greatly
: sSellcd by statesmen from d agreHs parts
of the county,
Tho different ward clubs contained
some funny material. The one tuning
out the largest number OF men was tho
