now TINT the ball is here and it is an as
sured fact that it is to roll, a demonstra.

"stunucr" is with good reason conf.
IDENTIFY anticipated.
All the campaign marching clubs will
be out in force, and in addition there will
be hundreds OF stalwart voters who do
not ASA rule tramp the streets for political
effect, but who arc going to turn ont on
this occasion il for no other reason than
that they may be able to boast withpride
in future years OF the part they took in
rolling the big ball in 1883 for Young Tip
pecanoe and Morton, too, as their fore
fathers did for Old Tippecanoe and
Tyler, too, in the good old days OF 10.
Those thatare not goiDgto paradeare ar
ranging to decorate and illuminate and
shout and cheer rs the ball goes a-rolling,
a-rolling, a.rolling,
1t is bound TO be n great time, for the
reason that the people have made up
their minds TO maize it such, and when
the people make UP their minds on an
occasion like this there is nothing Gun
