Elko's Celebration.

The Fourth OF July was properly
celebrated in Elko yesterday. Flags
were displayed fran nearly every
business house in the town and the
hotels were handsomely decorated
with flags and bunting.
Young America was out bright and
early with his tirecrackers and made
the usual amount OF noise despite the
strike and the hard times.
About IL o'clock the people gather
ed at Freeman Hall to listen to the
literary exercises. l.. F.. Morgan,
President of the day, called the audi
ence Ia order after which the choir
sang the ~Star Spangled Banner
Rev. w. II. 1. Houghton, chaplain,
read an appropriate prayer and the
choir sang a patriotic hymn.
Il. S. Harrington, Esq. was then i'll.
troduced and delivered the Grafton.
The first part Of it was rcplete with
fine sentiment and was appreciated
by all, butby far the greater part was
Il labored attack on the Legislation OF
the country that had enabled a few
men to build up colossal fortunes
while the great mass OF American
people were becoming poorer every
year. He went into statistics to prove
his assertions and convinced every
body that the distress prevailing in
the country to-day was due TO the un-
wise tariff legislation OF the last thirty
years and the characterization of sill
yer by the Republican party in
1873.
While the subject matter OF the ad-
dress was good, it was wholly inap-
propriate for the occasion. Had the
gathering been a campaign meeting
of Populists, the Grafton would have
been p%unctuated by rounds Of ap-
plausc.
After the Grafton the choir sang
America and the audience dispers-
ed to give the ladies an opportunity
to set the tables and prepare to feed
the children of the town on ice cream,
cakes. nuts etc.
At l:30 all the children gathered at
the hall and were entertained by the
good ladies of Elko. Young America
was in his glory and, il his hide was
not stuffed full of good things, it was
his own fault as there was plenty to
feed a multitude. The children vot-
ed that part Of the exercises Of the
day the biggest kindOf Il success.
AT 6 o'clock, there was Il parade OF
very tough looking horribles under
command of General o. l.. Calhoun.
Following the parade WIS a tug of
war between two teams, captaincd by
Jake Nelson and F.. T.. Bilkey. This
was Il hard pull and resulted in Il
victory for Bilkcy's team.
After this there WIS Il fine display
of fireworks by the Gem Hotel, while
rockets, bombs and i~irccrackers were
popping all over town.
The dance in the evening was large
~ attended and lasted till the early
hours this morning.
The celebration, considering the
short time in which il wns gotten up
and the adverse conditions under
viii ch it's originators worked. was n
big success.
