Thousands of Our Friends See

LAntern-An Immense Jolly. Cheer

It was a big, jolly and enthusiastic
crowd Of all sorts Of people who turned
out BY thousands last night to look at the

Kansas avenue 50 wide was never more
fully demonstrated, and if they had made
it wide enough 70 extend to Mr. Giles
front gate the throng would have liked It
better.
It is hard to estimate the size Of the
crowd It is safe to say that the biggest
half of Iopeka's male population turned
out The crowd extended from the north
side of Eighth street south half way to
Ninth. There were at least 700 or 5000
people in it. So denseIy packed were
they that the street cars made
about the same rate Of speed in that
block attained by fat man going out Of
a crowded church. The gOngs were
pounded desperately, and for time
street car traffic was suspended entirely
There were great many women IN the
crowd, also boys.
The STATE JOURNALS bulletins were
received through The regular telegraph
wires, running into the JOURNAL

"high art on the canvaa-higher than

However the pictures were uniformly
greeted with hearty applause.

Sterne occupied the seat nearest the win

was discussed by people best capable of
judging its effect or meaning. County
Clerk Charley McCabe was able to tell
from memory how each district went IN
1892.

In POLICE COURT.
Not Many Drunken Election Enthusiast
Taken In.

Taken In.
There were several cases in police
court this morning but none of them we're
the direct result Of election enthusiasm.
Jerry Donovan, who had been arrested
for stealing an OvercOat from one Of the
numerous cheap stores on the lower end
of Kansas avenue, was wise enough to
plead guilty and accept a twenty dollar
fine.
Joseph Leland had been drunk. There
was no question about that although
Joseph fastened to assure the court
that he had not been. He made an elo-
quent plea but the judge made his fine
so. This hurt J0seph's feeling and he
demonstrated loudly whereupOn the
judge called him back and made his tne
50 more. Joseph was just released from
Jail the other day.
Tony Olson had been out with his
trOtter and pleaded guilty to fast driving.
He was fined So.
Thomas Burnes was a vag and ad-
mitted it. Tommy is getting trouble
some in the frequency of his police
court appearance and the judge gave
him a $50 fine with a suspension OF SEN
tence for twenty-fOur hours Tommy IS
Ear away by now.
Thomas Collins, too, had been drunk
and he admitted il. He was fined So.
Mary Wade, one of the old cases, was
in court again on the charge OF stealing
a watch. but the complaining witness
was glad to withdraw the charge az ainst
her and she was dismissed
Patrick ~ cAndreWs was in court this
morning and his nose had an aggravated
scab on it. The evidence was that John
Dollgreen had entered his house and
toyed with his face in an unbecoming
manner. An officer had been called and
they had both been arrested. D0llgreen
pleaded guilty and was fined SO for
disturbing the peace. Patrick was dis
charged

Crowd Of Washburn Bows Create a Dis
turbance att the Populist Headquarters.
At 4 O'clock this morning there was a
small sized riot at the P0pulIst league
rooms on East Eighth street The room
was filed with POpulists waiting for re-
turns who were continually shouting for
Lewelling. a crowd of a half dozen
Washburn boys forced themselves
through the crowd and when they had
secured a position near the middle Of the
room one of them shouted for Morrill,.
The Populists tried to squelch them
and when they refused TO subside started
to put them out of the hall The boys
were armed with canes and used them
on the heads of the men. Noses were
smashed, some Of the crowd were
knocked down The police were sent
for and induced the boys to 90 out and
they shouted for Morrill, for an hour or
more on the sidewalk ia front Of the
building.

TOO MUCH REYELRY.
Drunken Men More Numerous Last Night
Than for Many Years

At no time in the history of Topeka
were there so many drunken people on
the streets at once as last night A great
majority Of the people that were out
after 1 o'clock this morning appeared to
be under the influence of liquor.
The small boys with horns and other
instruments Of torture were about but
they were only equalled by their drunk
big brothers This resulted in numerous
street fights.
Early this morning husky voices with
more strength than sweetness would
break out with "Rah for LeIling" or
some body else The whats the natter
man was out ia force. Any person wish
ing a fight had merely to declare himself
and he could get any kind of q game.
One man claims to have seen ten fights
IN 30 minutes. The only serious one was
the smuggling of a young man with
slung-shot on the East of Eighth street.
The blow sounded like the pop that
follows the opening Of key of beer and
the injured man thong ut for a nome Mt
his eye was put out. His friends took
him home The "inebriatory belt'' ex-
tended as far as the river and down in
the bottoms the night was one continual
trough house" al number OF tough
colored young men, Dick Justus among
them, were slugged. A tough voung
man of this type stationed himself at
the corner Of Fourth street and Kansas
avenue with club as big as a bat in his
hand Pulling his hat over one eve he
began for the benefit of the crowd
Use badr'
He paused to note the effect Of his
words. Nobody disputed him. He was
not satisfied.
Use forty times badr'
Here a white young man paused
through curiosity
Here, 20 white - -, what 70
starin' ate'
who's white -= -?"
The young man picked up a rock as
big as his fist and the man who was
forty bad" lost 40 time iii getting be-
hind telegraph pole. He got there
none too soon for the rock struck with a
Jar that made the wires revibrate, and
left a big nick in the pole.
Policeman Campbell caught one bad
man and found it necessary to hold him
on the ground Six or eight of the bad
mans friends jumped on Campbell and
used him roughly. The police appear to
have made no effort to check the
hilarity. Had they attempted to arrest
all the drunk men the Newmarket
wouldn't have held them all They paid
no attention to misdemeanOrs. and kept
their eyes open for felonies only.
The visible liquor supply in Topeka
was severely taxed, and the Joints and
joint drugstores played to standing room
only.

Still up and down and all around

Which may be so, but this we've found,
We're swimming in the soup.
Now all you blank republicans
Who raised us out this deal,
Go soak your heads like pelicans,
Until you come to feel
The error of your ways with pain
And anguish at your fate,
So when you next shall vote again,
You'll vote the ticket straight.

What the Editors Say of Owosso and the
Banquet.

From our exchanges we clip the following
relative to the editors meeting and the ban
quet, space permitting the items to be given
in part only:
State Republicans: Elegant in every de-
tail.
st. Johns Republicans: Republican news
paper men held two days session at Owos-
so last week to talk shop and politics. 1t
was very much like other trade conventions
and will no doubt result in good to all
present. AT the close of the meeting Thurs
day the citizens of OwossO rendered the
visitors a magnificent reception and banquet.
Their hospitality was unbounded.
Chesaning Citizen: The Michigan Repub-
lican editors had fine time in Owosso on
Wednesday and Thursday Of this week.
Thursday evening banquet was given the
visiting pencil-pushers at the Armory. 1t
was a republican love-feast in every sense
of the word and the Citizen will be mistaken
If good does not come of 1t to the Republic
can cause at the ensuing fall elections.
Ovid Register The two days business
session of the Republican editors of Michi-
gan, held in Owosso last week was meet
ing of profit to all in attendance. A number
of Ovid people were present and they all
say that the citizens of Owosso can not be
beat as entertainers. At the Armory Thurs
day evening over 400 were banqueted.
Stanley Parkill, of Owosso, officiated as
POSTMASTER, and presided very happily.
Livingston Republicans: At the banquet
rendered the editors, state officers and
invited guests. Thursday evening, the
people of Owosso did themselves proud.
The banquet was at the armory and was
everything that could be expected. The
ladies of the Congregational church prepared
the viands and served at the tables. Some
of the democrat ladies said that the atmos-
phere was little heavy with republican
enthusiasm, but they did not mind 1t as that
was part of the program.
Grand Rapids Eagle: Republican editors
of Michigan have reason to congratulate
themselves upon the success of their con-
vention, held at Owosso Wednesday and
Thursday. These men of Michigan who
assist materially in fighting the battles Of
the republican party renewed their pledges
to the principles of their party and gave
evidence of increased enthusiasm and vigor.
The entire party Of the state has reason to
congratulate itself upon the excellent con-
dition of this association. Nothing will be
