Makes Short Address to His Adj

| night Was the most enthusiastic outburst
IL pent-up hiiarity ever witnessed IN this
city.
AT 7:30 there were two dense lines OF pop,
uiation on the side of the streets extending
! from the Cary hotel to he court house and
II seemed that every individual had some
noise producing instrument. Men, wo-
men and children of all colors, ages, sizes
and previous condition of servit ude were
10 the throng and every one OF them was
/ am bilious to make the most noise. Tin
| horns were the predominant factor in the
| dlscord, bat there was great Bumler OF
| cow bells, sleigh bells, resined boards,
| drums, tin cans, kettles and other instru-
ments of torture used. TO a Republican
this mu>ic was angelic, hut to a Pop it
WAS as discordaut as If il was made by the
First Regiment baud Of Bedlum. The
Democrats didn't find any hing particu-
larry sweet about it, but they bore it pa
| tienily. Unlike the Pops, they were ex-
prciing it and had their ears fairly well
attuued TO Is melody.
| There was one notceab bic feature about
this chaotic orchestra, and that is tie
girls had as much tun in it
as the boys, If not more Fully
ninety per cent OF the young
! ladies on he street carried horns in their
hands and applied them to their sweet
| lips quite frequently. 1t didn't make
| much difference whether their SUNDAY

the tin horn and fox chaser and
they certainly furnish their proportion OF
the racket. II was Regular TORNADO of
noise from one end OF the city to the OIL her.
