RAIN AND RADICALS.
BOTH DESCEND UPON THR STREETS, IN
LIMITED QUANTITIES, LAST NIGHT.
A JOllihcaton Procession Of TweV3 Hundred
Parade the Tuwn-About 0ns-Fcurh Of the
Column from 0ut-Of-ihs-Ciiy.

The Republican Publication parade, Of
which We have heard 50 much since the
election, came off last night, and was .
very successful affair.
As is usual upon occasions of this sort
by our Republican friends, TRAINED, which
made the parsders feel thoroughly athOms.
But, fortunately, Natures tear-drops did
not commence to fall until the route Of
march had been pretty well covered.
Wheeling Republicans say that If they
had the campaign TO 20 through again,
they would adopt an uniform Of Mackin-
tosh hat, gum coat, and rubber boots, and
march with an alpaca umbrella reversed
under the left arm.
But to return to the parade.
We have said the affair wa successful.
1t was-judged by the average Of Rsput-
lican psrades this campaign. But there
was none of the wild enthusiasm of former
years. The impromptu parade after it
was known that Garfield was elected, in
1880, when the ''boys'' MARCHED through
the streets in solid platoons reaching
from curb to curb, and yelled themselves
hoarse, and then made signs at the specta-
tors, was not to be compared to last nights
''set'' demonstration. Marshal Travis
had made an official appeal to the Repub-
licans of tie city TO turn ont en- mdsse, but
the result was rather disappointing, only
about eight hundred answering the call,
the remainder Of the column being made
up from out oftown.
Still, il was q nice little procession, con-
taine1 no objectional features, burned q
good deal Of red fire, and probably eI-
pre- ssed the real measure Of Republican
satisfaction. The great trouble was, the
demonstration wss delayed tOo long. The
managers hsd hoped that by putting it of
from Monday night to Wednesday, they
would be enabled to add q victory in West
Virginia to their triumph in the nation,
but they were disappointed, aud ss the ar
dor Of the rank ana file had cooled they
declined to undertake q tramp around town
at q time when the election was almost
ancient history. This state of affairs was
fully appreciated by the managers, aud to
bolster up the fAithful and iufuse some de-
gree of enthusiasm into their cries, q bull
le.in was flashed upon the murky air,
down at the mtsligeRcer Office, claiming a
net gain for Golf in Preston, Hancock and
Richie of 81 votes, and that he was elected
by 1l6 plurality. Messengers were sent
around thu streets with this intelligence,
hut the effect was nil. The defeat Of Golf,
and the probable defeat Of Atkinson was
too mnch.
The parading column formed on Main
street, between Twelfth snd Sixteenth.
and about eight o'clock moved over the
following route:
East on Sixteenth street 10 Jacob, north
to Fourteenth, west to Chspliue, north to
Eleventh, west TO Market, north 10
Seventh, west to Main, noIth TO Third,
counter march south on Main to Twelfth,
east to Market, south 10 TGerty-second,
east TO Chapline, south to TweDty-seventb,
east to Ecff, south to Thirty-siXth, east to
jacob, north TO Thirty-third, west to Eoff,
north to Twenty seventh, west to Chap
line, Forth to Twentieth, west to Market,
