ing and the republican members failed
to get onto it.
The residences of Capt. Braithwaite
and M. P. Slattery were two Of the most
beautifully illuminated houses in the
city. Every window was brightly
lighted, and Chinese lanterns hung from
the trees and bushes in such a manner
as to render the scene beautiful, indeed.
From their transparencies the demo-
Gratis evidently want sound money, and
they seem to forget that the repeal of
the state bank tax, as advocated in their
platform, will knock sound money higher
than a kite. The democrats must have
gotten that transparency out of the re-
publican closet.
The band which greeted the honored
guests as they stepped from the tram
was the n which has been organized
but a short time, and for the small
amount of practice which the members
have had, did excellently we'll. 1t is
handy to have a band for just such oc-
c%asions as that of yesterday, and the
members should be aided as far as is
practicable.
1t was a disappointment to many that
D. W. Maratta and Jimmy O'Brien, the
brave Hi5ernian, failed to materialize.
They were confidently expected and no
reason is assigned for their absence.
Maratta is a host in himself, where dem
ocratic Publications are concerned, and
those who heard OBrien speak in Bis
marck prior to election, would have
enjoyed hearing him again, after the
"bitterness of war; had all died away.
It was noticeable that although the
democrats we're responsible for the Dec
orations, the actual labor-or at least a
great deal of twas performed by old
line republicans. OF course, an explsna-
| ton of this is at once to be seen-since
| the democrats have not had much of it to
do for about thirty years, and are con-
quently a little out of practice-and to
do the thing up in good shape they we're
forced to employ experienced repub-
licans-who are adopts at the business.
Although the democrats has every
thing which money could buy to help
them out, they were unable to secure
| one thing, and that was the good will of
the elements. The SUI positively re-
fused to shine, at any time in the day
but kept his face hidden, in sorrow. The
snow god, too, showed his anger by
filling the air with snowhakes-some-
thing most unusual on the Missouri
slope. Democrats may be able to bam-
boozle and befuddle the voters-but
when it comes to fooling the elements
they are not in it. The sun knows when
he is we'll of-and he positively refused
to favor a democratic blowout with one
ray of shine.
Republican Figures of Chicago Election .
Chicago News-Record: Now that the
official canvass of the returns of the cleo
ton in Chicago is complete a word in re-
gard to the showing of the vote may
prove instructive. 1t appears from
these returns that every ward in the
city that is dominated by the foreign
vote went democratic, while every
American ward save the First, the Eigh-
tenth, and the T~wenty-fourth went re-
publican. Those three wards contain
many lodging and boarding houses, In
these respects they have a marked char
acter of their own. The other Ameri-
can wards-the Second, Third, Fourth,
Eleventh, Twelfth, Twenty fifth, Twenty
seventh, Thirty-frst, and Thirty-second-
went republican. In the Thirteenth and
