There were perhaps 600 men and boys in the
democratic procession last night. The line
moved promptly at 8.25 o'clock, Just 25 min
utes later than the hour announced for the
march,
The procession was divided into three divis-
ions, comprising about 1926 torch-bearers, cav
alcade of 70 horsemen, together with bands,
drum corps, carriages and citizens
The special features were apparently design
ed to create laughter, rather than enthusiasm.
The citizens, or business men, as they were
styled, were SO in number, carried canes, wore
tall bats, the style of which dated back in the
forties. A transparency, guarded by ia large
number of the attaches of the Preble House,
was one of the bright spots. The exhibition
of horsemanship made by the participants in
the cavalcade was astonishing Blankets were
substituted for saddles in many cases: one or
two of the knights appeared, smoking clay
pipes, an officer carried a sabre the point of
which ran gracefully behind his ear, and a
pompous fle-closer brought up the rear, attired
in market mans frock. Many of the uni
formed companies marched well, and carried
their torches handsomely. Some of the illu-
uliHutivIiS aivDg the rouUe were very handsome,
but Why was it that the line of march was not
extended beyond High street?
The block occupied by the sailor boarding
houses on Free street, between Market and
Pearl streets, was decorated, bat the old Mexi-
can War Veterans headquarters, corner of
Pearl and Fore streets, was black as Erebus.
They will hold the fort for Blaine and Logan
until the last gun is fred.
While the procession was passing down
Middle street, the stick of rocket, which was
exploded in honor of their approach, fell upon
tie back of horse attached to horse car,
creating eommotion among the crowd for a
few moments.

SUBURBAN NEWS.


On the entire line of the Maine Central we do not
believe there is a station which for years has been
so neglected as this one at Yarmouth junction. If
the railroad can be held responsible for anything
it should be for giving just for much pro-
family In years past. Surely if ever the travelling
public had cause to swear it has been at the cold,
dreary cemfortless building where hours of tedious
waiting have been spent in curses loud and deep
These have doubtless reached the ears OF the
officials else their consci ences have been oper-
ating lately, for to our surprise and great pleasure
We found to-day that ground had been broken, and
a good granite foundation was being put in place,
which to construct neat and attractive station.
1t is to be after the style of the Richmond station
and when completed will do away with much of the
dreariness of the situation. We know that this
item will be read with pleasure by all who are
obliged to spend two three hours at this junction
While in town we found that the cannon from the
yscht Vixen was being cleaned and put in shape to
use Tuesday night.
If Cleveland is elected one of Yarmouth's
staunchest Republicans, will do the honors, and
take charge Of the firing; while if Blaine is vctori
GUS one equally staunch Democrat will oversee the
salute As this Democrat has had considerable ex-
perence in the management of this particular
cannon we confidently expect that he will send
forth no uncertain sound when the time comes for
action. SETH.

MIR. wright's Testimonial.

The following letter from the Rev. a. H.
WRIGHT, Pastor of St. Lawrence Street
Church, speaks volumes in praise of the Health
Lift, a system of physical exercise which is
growing in favor the more it is becoming
known.
From long acquaintance with the Health
Lift as system of cumulative exercise from
the beneficial results of its use in my own case,
and from actual knowledge of the benefit 9th.
ers have received who have used it systemati-
cally and perseveringly, 1 am prepared to add
my testimony to its great value as a simple,
safe and agreeable means of physical exercise,
for either man or woman. 1t will stimulate
the blood, induce healthy circulation, develop
muscular power and tone and strengthen the
whole system. Much more might be said in
its praise, but will simply add that if persons
OF sedentary habits, like myself, who require
more exercise than they usually get, or find
time to take, will commence the use of the
Health Lift, and continue its use with perse-
veraDce and regularity under Mr.. Gaubert's
directions and cautions, l am satisfied they
will find th6 same cause have, to prize and
praise its excellence.
