litical demonstrations ever held In the
state. There was no such demonstra
tion. Altogether 1t was . very tame
affair.
As the train pulled in, Senator Pet
tigrew alighted from the side farthest |
form On the outside Of the track was
more than large enough to aocommo-
date those who gathered there TO meet |
lection of citizens his hand was heartily
there to give him q personal instead Of
to . carrige in waiting to carry him to
accompanied by G.. A. Jewett, q. G.
Bright and Roy williams. Who took
seats with him. BY request, those who
iudorsed the senator's walkout ut st.
Louis we're ranged in line after the
carriage, with the New Hope band to
lead the prOcessiOn-and there 10 dis
crepancy in the count Of the number
who joined In the parade-the variance
being between 1873 and 1874. This dis
crepancy can perhaps be explained
upon the basis that those who enum-
Grated 1874 did their counting when the
procession started from the depot.
while those who counted 1888 in line
found them therv ~ the parade reach
ed the hotel, for 1t was observable that
during the progress of two blocks there
were several who dropped out Of line,
perhaps on account of THAT tired feel.
Ing" The large proportion Of p0pu.
lists in the procession was . matter OF
general remark.
The occasion was enlivened by three
explosions from q pair OF anyils, and BY
the blowing Of two or three steam whis-
ties and the ringing Of the bell In the
Presbyterian steeple, together with
several selections by the New Hope
band. The proportion Of inscribed
banners to the size OF the procession
wa somewhat larger than the occasion
seemed to be fitted for, there being
| eight Of these A. follows:
