Saturday night the town wa
the scene of demonstration

of he kind ever held in the State
ii indeed the Democrats of an,
town ever bsfmg had the temer
lily and au,acity TO conceive sucl
81 thing. Friday night was the
time set apart for the Republican
ljollification. The Democrats had
been betrayed. There was very
little consolation they could
gather from any quarter, but they
determined 10 show their pol:ti
cal enemies that even in the hour
uf defeat they were not cast
down. The preparations for the
demonstration proceeded quietly
and when the hour arrived for
the column to move, the kepub-
l,cans We're dazed by the size of
the crowd and realized for the
first time that Svenithe thunder
that is supposed 10 be the prop
eriy of the viclors had been lost
TO them.
Promptly at Z o'clock two for
lorn looking creatures, loaded
down with bundles and marching
under an umbrella, started from
Rempei's Opera down Main
Street. Behind them came the
Hook Hooking band, playing
funeral march. Thousands Of
people crowded the streets, but
after the arst strain OF music was
sounded the street became as
quiet as a chamber of DEATH
After the band came an open ba-
rouche in which were seated sew
erai persons. On a stand was
wine. Il was fitting picture of
the political aristocrats who had
defeated the honest Democracy
of the country by the free use OF
doodle al The late election.

On a dray were playing "seven-
up" for the post office, and it was
demonstrated that Mr..
,eabury was getting there.
There were many transpsrencies
n the line. The, persons OH foot
ollowing in the parade were
oaded down with various bun
lies, and as they marched to the
solemn measures of the funeral
march. il looked as if the ghosts
