tire and much less expense by
having the speakers visit Hayden
vile.
The procession was a daisy.
1st There was a brass band bold
ly blowing.
End The Haydenville Harrison
Howlers, composed of about one
hundred men and boys on foot, and
and dressed in q costume which
any one might safely worship with
out danger ofidolatry, for the rea-
son that there is nothing like unto
it, neither in Heaven above, nor in
the earth beneath, nor in the
waters under the earth. 1t was q
triple cross between that of
Senagambia, the western cowboy,
and Modoc Indian.
Then came an ox-team drawing
a wagon, on which was Il log cabin,
with Il live coon on the roof and a
dilapidated hornet nest fastened
to it's side, to remind all that the
&. .. p. is forty eight years behind
the times, also that it wants to
get a good start and is going back
to a period sixteen years before it
was born.
Next followed the chief hearse of
the procession, driven by Major
General Isaac (good jewish name)
Eontner, at whose side perched
aloft was Silla Pursell. This car
riage contained Clerk Lanning,
Renegade Burgess, John B. Neil
and the Great guardian of Rebel
Flags, then some more wagons,
t4hen wagon used by Stiers and
Sons of Haydenville to advertise
their South-down sheep.
| A few other caricatures not
worthy of mention, and empty
wagons finished the imposing
| funeral cortege which,
alike n wounded snake
Wound its slow length along"
our streets in mOnOtOnous silence.
Not a shout of recognition was
granted to Foraker from the be-
| ginning of the dreary march to its
end. A poplar pole said to be 95
feet high was set on end and then
the squad adjourned for
In the afternoon Foraker faunt-
ed the bloody shirt for about two
hours in the faces OF about 500 peo-
pie assembled on the market lot,
two-t thirds of whom were women
and children. The speech was a
weak affair and his voice could not
he heard by more than one third
of the assembly. Altogether the
meeting was a great success
for Democracy.
NOTES.
John B. Neil made little, weak
unfinished speech at the Opera
House on Tuesday evening.
Vice President of the Republican
club wasn't represented in the pro-
cession. We should have thought
his place would have been with
the old veteran Foraker.
A little difficulty between two OF
our citizens on Tuesday drew most
of the crowd from Foraker to the
scene of the racket. 1t seems that
the Republicans In this locality are
not thirsting after knowledge tc
any great degree.
The Republican party want to
get some dynamite 10 raise the Ell.
thusiasm in Hooking.
Tom Shotwell served II free
lunch of watermelons to the Re-
publicans just before the pole rails
ing. They need strength.
How was it that our large g,
Republican club didn't turn out on
Tuesday?
Little Breeches don't draw worth
a cent. Try Burgess.
If Foraker had just brought q
couple of comedians and q banjo
he might have held part of the
crowd anyhow.
Oh, Foraker, what did you do il
for! /!
Such a warm greeting will GER
tainly draw little breeches to this
city again.
An old Republican remarked
that there We're very few of the
familiar Republican faces from the
country.
Oh, how Charley Bowlby enjoy
ed the meeting.
The Haydenville boys did theil
best to make the meeting success.
and were surprised to find tha
they We're the only ones who die
anything.
The Haydenville boys were dis
gusted.
