THEBALL ROLLS Tonight
And all the People will Tum
Out to Assist the Cause.
THE CHIEF MARSHAL S ORDERS
Which Club officers VIII do Well
to study-AII the Arrangements
Completed for n Grand and
Enthusiastic Amir.

The big campaign ball will be rolled
or Harrison, Morton and Protection in
Wheeling tonight, and every one in this
,ity and in the surrounding places who
believes in this glorious ticket and the
grand principles It stands for are cordi-
lilly invited to turn out and help the
good cause along.
The rolling will be the first thing in |
the way Of Ia big street demonstration by
the Republicans in this campaign, and
while the affair will be one OF q largely
inrpromptu nature, it not having been
definitely known till Friday thatya pa.
rade would be had this evening, there is
every reason to believe that it will be OF
proportions that will astound the ma
tives. If half the reports are true
that were circulated Saturday as 10 the
number OF men the various clubs are to
turn out, the delegations that are coming
from outside points, and the decorations
and fireworks that are to be displayed,
the reception OF the ball will be y mem
orable one for years to come. Like the
famous rolling OF the ball OF 40 that
aroused such enthusiasm for Old Tippe-
canoe, this ball OF SIS as it has revolycd
for Young Tippecanoe throughout the
East, has awakened memories OF that
great campaign Of fOrty-eight years ago,
and il such thing were possible, has
aroused an even greater enthusiasm for
the ticket OF Young Tippecanoe than
prevailed before.
The rolling Of the ball tonight has
been looked forward to with the greatest
interest for the past forty-eight hours by
nearly every one, Democrats us well as
Republicans The men who remember
the ball OF 40 and who speak with pride
Of having either seen it or helped roll II,
have done much towards arousing this
interest. People, irrespective OF politics,
want to see it in order TINT in after years
they may be able to boast OF it MS the
older ones do now OF the other famous
ball. Those who have not arranged to
help roll the ball by taking part in the
parade will be OH the sidewalks to cheer
and applaud the boys, old and young, rs
they tramp along. 1t is going to be a
great night, and those who think differ
emily are certainly doomed to dlsappolnt-
ment. -
