ever seen In Belmont county. anu the
sound money and protection people were
out in force. q
TWAS a gala night and Bellaire was.
equal to the occasion. The town was
Illuminated from one end to the other.
and the claim that Bellaire was a free
silver town was shown 10 be a case OF
mistaken identity" for the free silver
sentiment was found to be wanting on
every side, Cold money. signs were see
ond only to the display OF pictures OF

Wheeling. clubs were In the parade
good and strong and made great ap-
}pearance. They left this city on time at
1880, but poor service on the electric line
delayed them greatly. It was an I'M
fortunate occurrence and the people Of
iBellaire were the losers. q. a
The clubs assembled at their rcspec-
tive headquarters at $50 p. M. aud
marched to the cars which had been or
dered to Fourteenth and Main at TBS.
The cars were filled and left that point
promptly at7:30 o'clock. The clubs ar
rived In Bel!aire In time to start the
parade at $50 p. m. Unfortunately the
fuses In two cars were burned out at
Bogg's run and the power gave out
many times both going and coming,
and beside this the operators and con-
ductors OF the cars, showed very bad
taste in wearing Bryan badges on the
trip, and persisted In tauntlng the pas
scngers with teering remarks. It Is but
Just 10 say that had the proper authori-
ties knownsof this 1t would not have
been permitted.

The parade, as will be seen by the
number Of organizations in line, was n
big one, and surprised everybody. Tia
clubs marched well and made q great
showing. Every one of them turned
out strong and the boys seemed to be
on their mcttlc.
The Wheeling division made a great
hit, When the staff passed everybody
applauded. and kept 1t UP until the
procession had passed. The route was
a long one, but the boys stuck 1t out
nobly, even though the rain started to
come down In torrents; they marched
through 1t all to the last.
A meeting was TO have been held in
Turner hall after the parade was over,
but owing to the latcness of the hour
It was abandoned. 1t was after II
o'clock when the parade was over and
the boys were glad enough to get back
home. The speakers, Messrs, Nash and
Hollingsworth, met with an ovation as
they were escorted along the route Of
parade. n.
