flags and brilliantly illuminated. The
streets are full Of people and the largest
procession ever witnessed in Writ county
is parading with two bands of music and
the heavens are brilliant with fair display
of fire works, and from the mountain top
on the opposite side of the run Democrat
ic cannon awakens the echo. Parkersburg

A Large Delegation.
The Young mems Democratic club, mum.
Bering about sixty, accompanied by the
Dcspard drum corps and a goodly number
Of Parkersburgers, arrived in time to join
he procession. The meeting was addressed

that Mr.. Leonard is held in high esteem by
the people Of Wirt,as evidenced by the hear
ty reception which greeted him on every

Marked Attention
and frequently interrupted by hearty ap-
plause. The meeting was grand success,
and shows that the Democrats Of Writ
county are up and doing and will give an
increased majority for the national Demo

town can take the cake for genuine mean
ness. The Democratic meeting was organ

and Just as Mr.. Leonard opened his speech
the old court house bell began TO
peal forth its musical p chimes

few Republicans in town for a meeting but
the real purpose was to create confusion
and drown the voice Of the Democratic
speakers, but few stalwart Democrats
rushed up to where that Republican was
Pulling the Bell
and the old clapper ceased its ear-splitting
clargs, and the Democracy were allowed to
proceed without further interruption with the
exception of few noisy Republicans who
kept up unearthly -howls for Blaine ana
Logan. The Republicans, numbering about
twenty-five, organized a meeting in the
Court room and had some young fellow on
the Judges stand telling some stale jokes
and managed to keep up all the noise they
could until the enthusiastic Democratic
meeting outside had adjourned Look out
