Lake Shore Switchmen Strike.

CHICAGO, August 2S.-The switchmen
in the employ of the Lake Shore railway
struck last night, completely tying up
all the business of the road, so far as
Chicago was concerned The trouble
grew out of the stock yards trouble.
Superintendent Amsden took crew of
men down to the stock yards
yesterday afternoon. When they
reached there the men deserted. Ans
den then discharged them. This pre-
cipitated a strike of the night men. At
a meeting this morning, OF the day force,
at which Amsden was present, thirty
four of the company's men present
signed a paper agreeing to stand by the
company. The remainder decided to
go with the strikers.

A brilliant AFFAIR.

The Cambria. democracy opened the
campaign early and in earnestness, and
kept up steady and aggressive fight to
the end, and this no doubt inspired the
democracy all along the line, that resulted,
not only 10 crushing republican defeat,
but in irretrieveableI.rou Be this as 1t
may, the Cambria democracy deserves
credit for an equal share of honor for such a
glorious triumph. The event was cele-
brated last Friday night in a becoming and
jubilant manner. The town was "painted
red" while decorations and illluminatiops
adorned the residences of jubilant demo-
Gratis, and few republicans showed their
appreciation of democratic victory by illu.
minating and decorating their residences
on this occasion. Our detected republican
friends are as good neighbors and citizens
as can be found iu any locality, but we can
only say to them in their emergency, Come
along with us and we will do thee good"
The streets were illuminated with red
light while hundreds marched and counter
marched, carrying banners with sugges-
tive notices in honor Of the event OF the
collapse of the q o. p. and the usherinR
of an era of emancipation from monopo.
lstic despotism. The ladies OF the town
and vicinity took an active part in the
celebration and though they Couldn't vote
their daddies did" was inscribed on theil
banner. All honor 10 the ladies. Theirs
is the victory. ].
