music of the martial band and by ev.
cry movement evidenced supreme en-
joyment in the celebration of the re-
turn of the grand old party to power.
They were out in goodly numbers. The
young voters, however, were the life
and enthusiasm of the occasion. There
were about fifty in line wearing colored
capes, bearing torches, and hurrahing
with an uncomfortable zest. They
were under the command of Capt. ID.
l.. Freeman, of Chas. Stuart Camp,
Sons of Veterans, and made a grand
appearance. In the column of business
men almost every establishment in the
city was represented by a cheering re-
publican. The trades display was ex-
cellent when it is considered that all
arrangements were perfected within
forty eight hours. One wagon con-
tanned the local instruments of the
Western Uuion Telegraph Co., with
Operator +. ID. Parsons receiving news
of the grand triumph al over the ma
ton and sending out the glad tldings
of a clean sweep in Audubon county.
Other conveyances bore w. H. S. Bed

tOnsils of happy subject and prepar-
ing razor for smooth work; brawny

Bofnger pushed neatly decorated cart
loaded with articles representing the
hardware firm of Mckarahan & Van
denburgh. This display was very in
geniously arranged and received tho
plaudits Of the crowds along the walks.
In the ranks, were carpenters, harness
makers, painters, and nearly all trades
piled in this city. 1t is proper that the
industrial classes should rejoice over
the triumph Of the American idea, and
those in Audubon happily demonstrated
their feeling last Saturday night.

way the procession countermarched and
the young voters reached the climax of
enthusiasm in cheering and firing roman
candles and SKY rockets creating one of
the grandGSt effects ever witnessed in
western Iowa. The sky was aglow
with cOlorcd lights for the length of
two blocks and the whole street was in
a respondent glow 1t was the general
comment that the scene was the most
brilliant ever witnessed in Audubon,
