The entire street was lighted by Japanese

so Mrs. William Morris.
But the best ct all was the display on Lin
coin street. This street was called the
night before, by one Of the orators at the
Prohibition rally, the ''banner Prohibition
street of Deering." Judging from the flu
limitations last night the Prohibltionists
must have been few and far between. The
scription, hundreds Of yards Of bunting dec
GRATED the houses, scores of flags floated on
the night air and numberless torches were
planted in the ground in front of numerous
residences. The portraits of the Republican
by stereopticop in the yard of one Of the resi-
dents, framed portraits were placed in the
windows and red lights burned all around.
Especially attractive among the many hand
soInely Illuminated houses on this street was

A log cabin was erected on Fessenden
street, and "Tippecanoe and Mortar too
was the cry that reseunded in the vicinity.
Charles Allen, Niles Elk, Elias Hersey. and
J. n. Winslow burned lights in their win
dows to show that they are still loyal Ia the
grand old party. The Deering Cavalry es.
c0rted the Portland battalion as far as the
base ball ground, ami then turned homeward
The Portland companies marched to the city
and broke ranks at the Republican head,
quarters. Thus ended the most brilliant
successful and enthusiastic torchlipht nro'
cession that ever passed through Desrino
The Examinations, which consisted in almost
every case, of numerous Japanese Lanterns
of varied designs and odd, combined with
burning torches and red lights, were bv far
the most beautiful ever displayed by the cjti-
zens of Deering. Last nights demonstra-
tion will probably be followed by a grand
victory on the 10th Of September
in that town.
