To rejoice over success IL d OF tn
privileges of the human family that j
seldom foregoes, and republicans hav'
been no exception during the past week
Monday afternoon the republican Ia
dies of the city, with the party emblem
the red, white and blue, abundantly dis
played on hat and carriage and wheel!
and harness and horses, formed a very
nice procession, driving through tn.
principal streets Of the city. It was
unique, brilliant, splendid display.
In the evening, at dusk, the anvils be
gan to roar, the bonfires to blaze and the
procession to gather, the air resoundine
with music from the two brass bands
the drum corps band and with all Other
kinds of noises that could be thought of
old men in the procession adding to the
clamor by blowing loud, toy tin horns
and in all pleasant, harmless ways be,
coming boys again, in their gladness.
The first line of march was in conduct.

meandered through the principal streets,
bringing up at Fitzpatrick's Hall, where
the speaking was done. Among the de-
vices on the transparencies were: Good

At the hall, which was crowded to
OVERLOOKING, several gentlemen were
called upon by the chairman, G. W.
Barnhart, for short speeches, and re-
sponded briefly, each heartily congratu-
lating the party upon the grand success
of the campaign and contributing a SEN
timent or an incident to the interest of
the occasion: L. Gerard said that q day
or so after election he met J. E. North
who said this suspense is terrible
Gerard said it might be to democrats,
but republicans took it very easy. Col.
NJ. WhitmOyer said he had studied v
the matter a good deal, but could not
see how it is that the people would vote
for the democratic party which had
tried to destroy the nation. c. j. Gar
low told how his little state had gone
republican the first time since its birth;
West Virginia, rocked in the cradle of
democracy, nourished by the ~confedera-
cy, had broken the chain which bound
it to the solid south. j. NJ. Mcfarland
followed in the same strain. Carl Kra-
mer made some ~jocular illusions to the
democratic campaign in this county and
E. D. Fitzpatrick declared he had al
ways voted for the president elect.
Altogether the jubilation was one long
to be remembered.
Miss Aetz's Concert.
The entertainment given by E. Metz
was we'll attended and did the young
lady great credit. We hope she will give
us another such treat in the near future.
The programme was commenced by a
piano duet by Misses E. Metz and S.
Fitzpatrick. The piece was an imitation
of sleigh bells and showed that the
young ladies have had good training as
well as natural talent. The AriOn Quar-
tette sang two selections, the last one
cut short by the disturbance of some
small boys. Just as the gentlemen made
their appearance n Of the small boys
