Hill, where the disappointed adherents
of the q. o. P. had closed their resi-
dences and put out all the lights, max
ing the streets as dark as a dungeon.
This action OF the Republicans was the
subject of a great deal OF unfavorable
comment.
Down street, however, all was ablaze
with light and the marchers were given
q flattering reception. Rockets and
candles followed each other in quick
succession, and heightened the pretty
effect produced by the elaborate decora-
tions, while cheer after cheer went up
from hundreds OF Threats on the side

echoing the familiar campaign songs.

are Democrsts-in their excitement
Joined in the general applause.
Several tranparencies were carried In
the parade, and a number of fac SMILES
of Salt River packets were conspicuous
ly displayed. The irrepressible small
boy was out with his tin horn, and an
other horn, adult size, was carried in
the line. A big cannon on the river
bank belched forth the glad tidings Of
Democratic victory, and added to the
general din. Taken all in all, it was a
most successful demonstration, and
Bellaire Democrats have reason to fee |
proud of it.
