A grand mass meeting and torchlight
parade was announced to be held under
the auspices of the Fourth Ward Blaine
and Logan club, at South Prince aud
Conestoga streets, on Thursday evening,
which was 10 have been addressed by j.
W. johnson, esq Col. Il. +. Eshlemau, J.
Hay Brown, esq VIM. A, Wilson, esq,
and others The route preparatory to the
meeting was gone over by the Young Mems
Republican club, the franklin and
Marshall College club, the Penn Iron Lea
que and tho Blaine and Logan Colored club.
IL was supposed that those four orGaniza-
tions would make fair parade, but only
40 could be mustered.
In addition to tho marching clubs less
than hundred voters gathered around
the platform, erected at the corner of
Beaver and Couestoga streets. Capt.
George Nj. Franklin mounted the stand
and informed the gathering that the
intense cold would interfere with them as
welt as the speakers, and as the commits
sioners were absent from town, no provi.
sion could DO made to secure the court
house. He then proposed that the
marchers mako n short parade through
much manifest disappointment among
the torchbearers at hearing this, and
Mr.. Franklin left without even asking
| a cheer for their candidates. Hay Brown
| and Frank Eshlemau were hiding in their
ulsters near by, bat neither would venture
| to remove his tile and spout. There
seemed to be little inclination to form in
line and again tramp about dozen who
were disgusted, tagged out and half frozen
extinguished their torches and skedaddled
home. The inevitable small boy took al =
vantage of the opportunity to exercise his
| customary capers, aud with brief inter
missions he would yell at the top of his
voice ""Rah for Cleveland, 'Rah for
Blaine" which was invariably answered by
"a rope to hang him" Indeed the young
idea seemed to usurp all the glory of the
| occasion. Then Alderman Spurrer, in
Hessian attire, stretched himself over the
handboard, spologized for the disappoint
ment and remarked that the 'clerk of the
weather went back on u.s." After pro-
posing and assisting to family utter three
cheers for Blaine and Logan the "mass
meeting" was at an end, after which the
squire marshalled the remnant of the squad
over q short route.
