THE MEETING EXCITING !

The much.talked.of Democratic parade
and mass meeting has been held, and as a
fizzle nothing in the past ten years of
local history has equaled it. 1t was not
only big disappointment to the voters of
both parties who had been led to expect a
demonstration of extraordinary effect,
but also caused the managers to confess
that they were chagrined by the manner
in which their picture of splendor and
enthusiasm had been hung upside down.
Judging from the results in this county
yesterday the newspapers are justified in
calling Singerly's tour funeral, and
what is worse, it is not respectable
funeral. The mourners are fighting
among themselves. During the trip from
Tamaqua to Ashland yesterday afternoon
there was an exceedingly lively discussion
between Colonel Singerly and his imme
diate following and the county Demo
cratic managers. The latter tried to i'm
press upon Mr.. Singerly the import
ance of making visit to Shen-
andoah and addressing the people
there, as the candidate for Gov
ernor had been advertised to ap.
pear in the town and the people were
anxious to hear him. Mr.. Singerly was
obdurate. He said he had prior engage.
ment made at Reading and he proposed
to start for that city Immediately after
the close Of the Ashland meeting, not
withstanding advertisements and other
announcements to the contrary. He said
he could not be held responsible for any
mistakes or false announcements the
Schuylkill committee had made, and he
would not visit Mahanoy City or Shenan.
doah.
And Mr.. Singerly kept his word He
did not come here. Neither did Governor
Pattison, nor Hensel, nor Harrity, nor
Greenland, nor Beck, nor Collins in fact,
the only visitors were the tailenders of
the funeral, and only three of them at
that
Shortly before six O'Clock last evening

aker.
At about half past seven a part of the
committee started back from Mahanoy
City escorting David f. Magee, of Ian
caster, Democratic candidate for Auditor
General BENZ, F. Meyers, Harrisburg,
and George j, Wadlinger, of Pottsville.
A part of the escort remained at Maha
noy City to accompany Hon. James b
Reilly and David F. Patterson, of Pitts
burg, to town, the latter gentlemen
remaining behind to make the closing
speeches at Mahanoy City. They arrived
here at about ten o'clock.
The car which brought the first section
of the party over was an eight.wheeler.
AS it passed through the patches enroute
the occupants made liberal use of Roman
candles, and as the car appeared on the
brow of the hill at Columbia Park the
First warders heralded the coming of the
party by the discharge of the cannon
which did so much service in the
past when the Modoos of the First ward
were in existence.
An immense throng greeted the car at
the Main street terminus of the railway
and there was a great straining of necks
to get glimpse Of the Governor, Col
Singerly, Harrity and others who were
supposed to be on the car. When the
people learned that none of the notables
were on board there were murmurings of
disappointment and dissatisfaction. 1t
put cold water on the demonstration.
The managers put the best face they
could on the situation and formed line
of parade as follows;
Eleven Mounted Men.
Annunoiation Band.
The National Club.
Lithuanian Band
Escorting Committee.
Grant Band.
