The City on Fire with Glory and
PyrotechnicS.
IN Effort that is n Forecast OF the
Splendid Victory for Protection d.
in November, when we will
Break the Solid South.

The Protection demonstration aid re-
ccp,ion to the Republican clubs OF Ohio,
Pennsylvania and West Virginia last
night, was the greatest success OF any
campaign in the history of this city.
Miles Of lecontionsand fireworks, miles
of handsomely uniformed clubs, march,
inc with the precision ofveterans; miles
Of brilliantly colored lanterns and fam
inrtorhcs; miles OF lluttering handker-
Chiefs flags and shouting people; brass
bands and drum corps innumerable and
unlimited cnthusiasm-that was the
Wheeling Republicans showed what
they mean to do in November.
Special train after special train rolled
into The depots all day. What ii it was
raining! Wasn't it going to rain harder
for the Democrats next month? A lit
te water couldn't dampen the inten-
ton to show Ohio and Pennsylvania
Republicans that their brethren in this
State meant to stand in line with them
on election day. i,
AZ 6 o'clock, when the Plumed
Knights, the Junior Plumed knights
and the Island Escort Club turned out
to meet the visitors. there were 5000
strangers in the city, and at the time the
great parade started there were 10000
strangers and at least 10000 people on
the streets.
But they made enough noise for one
hundred thousand.
At every point along the line OF
march where the least advantage in the
way OF seeing could be obtained, there
were crowds gathered.
Fireworks Of all descriptions were put
off at all available points and the star Of
Harrison, Morton and Protection blazed
out brilliantly from the beginning to
the end.
The Pumed Knights with their drum
major, led the procession, acting as
escort to the visiting clubs. They were
Immediately followed by the Americus
Club, Of Pittsburgh, with their beautiful
red, white and blue umbrellas. How
they did march and how they were
Chpercd.
But for that matter, every visiting
club covered itself with glory. The dude
COlored club OF East Liverpool, and the
Mckinley club OF the same place, re-
ceiyed cheer after cheer. The Pitts
burgh cIubs.a came to the front in the
very best style. Their marching was
superb and the music they brought with
them excellent.
Wheeling is indebted TO Pennsylvania
and Ohio. Either State can call on this
city at any time and the response WILDE
instant aud generous.
The second and third divisions, COM
posed Of Western Virginia clubs
showed up well. The cavalry was a
feature and each person in line was
voter Marshall county came up in force
and the banner they bore promising one
thousand majority for Protection in No.
yemher is no idle boast now. The ward
clubs turned out in large numbers and
only added to the general enthusiasm.
Protection Wheeling is proud ofits sue
tess.
The parade wound up with a review
OF the visiting clubs by the marshals, in
front of the lNTELLIGENCEE office. Then
came scrCnadcs from bands and drum
corps, cheers for Harrison, Morton, Golf
and the State ticket, the Gscortlng OF the
guests to the depots, and the greatest
parade in the history OF this city was
