agree on Republicans to fill them. The
changes shonld be just as quick after
March 4th next.
In publishing the official vote last
week there was a mistake in the total
vote credited to Mr.. E. C.. Tual, Re-
publican candidate for Assessor. Mr..
Tual's vote was printed st 624 when it
should have been 554, Mr.. Reyburn' s
majority being 342 votes. 1t was SIM
ply typographical error.
For the reason that there were not
five thousand people in line here Satur-
day night some of the Republicans sar-
castically interrogated, ..Where is the
crowd?" We should have thought
that there were enough Republicans in
line on election day to- have satisfied
the Republicans for years to come.
The REGISTER knows of two or three
Republicans hereabouts. who will GER
tainly die of broken hearts, if the
country does not suffer from depression,
calamity, famine, and even war, under
the Cleveland regime. And yet they
doubtless would grow very indignant if
any one were to question their patriot
ism. Humanity is hard, very hard to
understand, at times.
ats all right for the Republicans to
ratify when they secure victory, but
it's all wrong when the Democrats do
it,, was the spirit evidenced by some of
the local Republican leaders last Satur-
day night. And the marked differ
ence between our parade and the one
they had four years ago was that we
did nothing to hurt anybOdy's feeling;
we didn't carry collins and pictures of
the defeated candidate with a black
eye as they did.
As the Democratic procession passed

played a transparency on one of the va
cant lots with this inscription, NO

Knob, with her vacant houses, disman-
tied mines and neglected furnaces, it
would seem had already had enough of
:. protection. Let any fair-minded
man make a trip over there, view the
surroundings and render his honest
opinion.
The tactics of some of the local Re-
publicans since the election have been
highly amusing, and, if they only had
perception enough tc realize it, they
are making themselves the laughing
stock of the community. These self
same oracles are predicting war, fam
inc and pestilence. and all on account
of Democratic success. Now isn't this
silly twaddle for intelligent men?
Aren't the Democrats that you know
fully as patriotic as the Republicans?
OF course they are.

The election of Cleveland and
Stevenson and the general triumph of
Democracy in the late election, was
celebrated in a fitting manner by the
Democracy OF Iron county last Saturday
night. A torch light procession, num-
boring between three and four hundred
people. headed by the Graniteville brass
band, was formed in front of the court
house about 1870 o'clock, and from there
marched up Main street to Pilot Knob
and back There were a5outy fifty

comfiture of the Republicans. were dis
tributed along the line. Tin horns
were numerous and stout-lunged Dem
ocrats made the welkin ring. A num-
Der of the business houses and private
residences were elegantly illuminated
and it was gala night in every par
ticular. The streets were lined with
sight-seers, and it was model demon
stration in every respect. Everybody
was on good behavior and everybody
seemed to take special pains to see that
all went gaily on. AS the order to
march was given, the canons doomed,
the populOus cheerea, and the band
played. Grand and beautiful displays
of fireworks illuminated the line OF
march, and the tin horns echoed the
dead March in Saul for the enemy.
