"0n TO Pittsburgh !" is now the rally
ing cry Of the Republican clubs Of this
city, and OF many enthusiastic Republi-
cans who do not belong to any marching
organization, but who are with the boys
every time.
Next Saturday night the Republicans
of the Independent State of Allegheny,
with her $4,000 majority, are to lave the
first OF a series OF four mammoth street
demonstrations, and the Wheeling clubs
have been cordially invited through the
Plumed Knights, by Major George NJ.
Won Bonhorst, chairman OF the county
committee, and by the gallant old
Americas Club, to visit Pittsburgh and
take part in the affair, which promises
to be regular "paralyzer."

and decided to go. While thry were in

ters' Protective Tariff Club and the U.
S. Grant Club Sixth warders) to the effect
that they would probably go to. The Gen.

for nearly the entire distance are lighted
by electricity. A display OF fireworks is
promised that shall rival some OF the
most noted exhibitions in tLat
line ever seen in Pittsburgh. The Pitts.
burgh clubs in themselves make a show
well worth seeing. The "Six-Footers"
and other clubs are gorgeously
uniformed, and the Americas Club
and the Young Mems Tariff Club
compel admiration by their numbers,
turning out about 400 each. Every Re-
publican who can possibly go from here
will lose nothing by taking in the show.
1t is hoped that there will be good
big turnout from here, for Pittsburgh
Republicans have promised TO do the
square thing by the Wheeling Rcpubli-
cans on next Monday night, when the
big parade and reception to visiting
clubs takes place here. The brethren
from above have promised to come at

goes up from here and shows the Pitts
burghers that there is earnestness in the
work at this end, il will probably have
the effect OF making them enthusiastic
over West Virginia, and result In their
doubling their turnout for the Wheeling
demonstration.

Charles Vankeuren, chairman, Il. Il.

up, etc, etc. 1t will greatly facili-
late the work il the commanders
Of clubs that decide TO go, will
leave word to that effect as
soon us possible ut Vankeuren's rcstau-
rant on Twelfth street, go that enough
cars may be secured. All those who
have been spoken to about the trip are
enthusiastic over il, and big crowd in
anticipated. 1t has been suggested that
Colonel Travis take charge Of the West
Virginia division in Pittsburgh Saturday
night, provided three OF four Of the
clubs go up, and the suggestion is good
one.
The knights will parade on Market
street in front OF headquarters Nincoln
