THE Democrats had a fair demonstra-
ton here last night, but the parade did
not extend beyond the paved streets.
The clubs from Wheeling and Martins
Ferry Joined in the parade aud made a
creditable showing, under the marshall
ship OF George L. Morgan. AT the
Elysian theatre there was splendid
crowd. Mr.. George W. Yost called 1t
to order and announced Newell X, Ken
non as chairman Of the meeting. 1t is
not true that the officers occupied the
auditorium and the audiense the stage,
but it is fact that the list OF vice presi-
dents was so long that Mr.. Yost said he
presumed they had all learned Of the
honor thrust upon them, and did not
take time to read them over Mr.. Ken
non made brief but splendid address,
presenting Judge Pearson to the audi
ence. He made one of his character
istic speeches. He is hopeful, or at
least expresses himself that way, and
declares that he voted against the re-
peal OF the 10 por cent tax on state
banks and will do so again. The Judge
is fair talker and manages to please
his Democratic friends pretty well, but
one effect OF the meeting here last
night was to set the friends OF Colonel
Poorman to work in earnest to make q
good showing for him in his home
town.
