A Gala day for Evening Shade.

A Gala day Tor Evening Sllade.
Last Monday was day long to
be remembered by the democrats Of
Sharp county, especially those who
were present and participated in the
demonstrations Of the day. 1t being
the day which Col. P, d. McCnl'
Tough would address the people at
Evening Shade, as the Cleveland and
Thurman elector for this congression-
al district, the democrats of the
county begun to assemble early, and
by 10 o'clock between 500 and 500
men were on our streets. The work
of raising the ll3 foot flag pole occu-
pied the attention of crowd in the
forenoon, and at o'clock the dem
ocrats formed in double rank at the
Christian church, Eve. Shade brass
band in front, the Jackson Demos
cratic club of Sullivan township,
next, then the Red Bandanna club
of Evening Shade, followed by a
large representation from nearly
every township in the county, max
ing up a procession which numbered
about 400. The line of march was
down Main street to Cammack,
thence south to Clear branch, thence
down Cogers alley to the cardmg
factory, thence north to Main street,
and up Main street to the spring
where the procession filed left and
passed under large, new copy OF
the stars and stripes which went up
amid the loud huzzahs of at least a
thousand persons, while the band
played that grand national air,
cred White and Blue" and an ''anvil
chorus" made the enthusiasm more
deep and every patriotic breast throb
with emotion and pride and the
grand thought Tm an American
citizen, and this the grand ensign Of
our common country" The flag is
25 feet long by l2 feet wide, and
cost the sum of S24 so in st. Louis.
After few moments rest the line
moved up to the grove west of the
Baptist church where seats had been
ARRANGED and a comfortable platform
erected. Mr.. Mccullough was soon
introduced by w. A. Turner of Ash
Flat, and the immense audience was
listening with beaming faces to the
best and most lengthy political speech
ever delivered in the town.
Mr.. Mccullough is a scholarly
gentleman, progressing in appear
aace, Just the right size and age, with
the proper strength of face, an ora
tors voice and an elocutionist's de-
livery; hence the audience was cap,
tured with the FIRST sentence. All of
the leading points Of three-hours'
speech would be hard to give, even
if we had time and space; but suffice
TO say that the tariff and all kindred
topics were presented in mastery
stvle, and no man IN the vast crowd
could have had the slightest reason
for being anything but democrat,
he having been an unpredjudiced
booror of tho sneech

ADJUSTMENTS.
The "Littla TYcoOE.

The Little TycoO1.'
 The performance of the opera Little Tycoon was greeted by small attend ance at the opera house last night. It was, however, deserving of large house. The chorus was good and the presentation was the best ever seen in this city. Fred Len nox IS not powerful singer but his rendi- ton was good, and the soloists were better than have been heard here for some time.
 Frank Mayo in ''Nordeck."
 "Nordeck," as presented by Frank Mayo and his competent company, which appears at the opera house this evening, ranks among the best romantic plays on the Anne! ican stage. There is no sentimental ism about it. It is purely romantic piece and gives Mayo the best opportunity to e2- hibit his greatest talent. Dayy Crocket does not hold candle to it, and no Water bury theater goer should miss seeing Mayo tonight. His support is excellent.

Demand for Tripe.

The much abused but easily digested tripe has at last received proper recognition from quite an unexpected quarter Dr. Beaumont proved that raw oysters digested in two hours and ffty-five minutes and boiled tripe digested in one hour. Acting on this in- formation, epicures with weak digestive organs have taken kindly. to tripe, and the demand for it at the leading restaurants is on the increase.-New York Sun

another View of It.

There is, indeed, a positive harm that re- suits from tabooing of the theatre by relig- ious people. Why is so large proportion of our plays frivolous and vulgars Because the frivolous and vulgar predominate among theatre goers. If the large number of refined people who avoid the theatre were to attend, this proportion might be reversed, and more of the managers would find it profitable to bring out clean and wholesome dramas Henry T.

Mr.. Atkinson. OF Pennsylvania, declared
himself a. wholly in favor Of protective
policy.
Mr. Iard'ey, Of Pennsyyania, entered a
strong protest against the passage OF the bill.
II there had been any earnest desire 10 di-
minish the surplus the House might have
passed the Blair educational bin as it had
come from the Senate instead OF allowing Il
TO be etrangled IN the House committee, or
the Administration might have purchased

AR. Tracy, OF New York, speaking, as ne
SAID, for the Empire state, declared mat bis
people wanted large reduction OF import

with the aid Of quotations from messages
and documents, the assertions that Andrew

Mr.. Newton. Of Louisiana, in few brief
remarks, expressed hls general approval OF

form Of the tariff was needed.
Dir. Lane. Of Illinois, said 1t was time to

burdens OF the Government. The labor Of
the House bad been devoted to the surplus,
but the real calamity lay behind that, and II
was the Infamous iniQutOus system Of taxa

Mr.. Gambler, OF Georgia, while denouuc-

Mr. Post, OF Illinois, said that II the de-
nunciation OF the tariff by the Admmlstra-
ton were we'll founded then he did not see
why we should have q tariff for either pro-
lection or revenue.
Mr.. Vance, Of Connecticut, in humorous
little speech declined in view Of the lateness
OF the hour TO inhict upon the House the
