JUBILANT REPUBLICANS,
The Brilliant Demonstration With
which BrnttIebOro Celebrated Hnrri-
son and Wotton's Election.

and Motton'H Eiecttous
Brattleboru has long enjoyed a reputation Of en-
tering heartily into everything IL undertakes and
Of doing nothing by halyes but We remember no
previous occasion when this spirit was 80 striking
y manifest az in the grand Republican celebration
of last Monday evening There has never been
any similar demonstration here which was taken
hold Of 30 generally and with much spirit by
all our people The reason is not far to seek DE
ing found In the fact that Republican rejoicing
over brilliant victory won has never lF'en 80 SIM
cere aud 80 irrepressiblc n there ever was q
time when town was in blaze NJ glory, the
time was last Monday night and the town was
Brattleburo
Preparations Tor the event Of the evening were
visible all over town all day IN fact, We fcart that
now and then a thought " how some decoration
or other should be arranged crept into Sermon

possible; II was genuine Republican weather IN
fact made 10 order for the occasion. At night

residences the business part OF Main street pre-
sented an appearance which will not soon be for
gotten The buildings were covered with the ma
tiona colors in all sorts Of arrangement aud lines
Of Chinese lanterns were continuous ON both sides

their curved lines Of candles and Crosby block
was ablaze with double rows of candles ~ every
