MARTINS FERRY PEOPLE

Arc sInlttnS Extensive Preparations for
tho Republican Club Demonstration
Tuesday Evening.
Many clubs are accepting Invitations
10 take part In the great tri-state Re-
publican demonstration In Martins
Ferry next Tuesday evening. The indl-
cations are, that 1t will be the biggest
thing the city has ever saw. Martins
Ferry has never taken as much interest
in anything as In this parde. The pen-
pie are not only talking about the dem
onstration, but are preparing for 1t in
many Ways, The different committees
arr hard at work. The people are get
ting ready to decorate and the Bryanites
will find that there Is lots Of yellow
fever" in Martins Ferry. The stores
are having good sale. OF bunting, flags
and other decorations. There Is q big
demand for gold colored goods. The
sales are growing larger as the time
draws nearer. There never has been
such 4 demand for the picture OF any
man as for Mckinley.
The Wheeling clubs are considerably
interested In the demonstration and will
30 good and strong, as there IS nothing
on hand for that night. Nearly every
Republican marching club in Wheeling
has either decided to go or Is contempla-
ting going. The same Is true OF the
Benwood clubs.
For the accommodation OF the Wheel
nlS and Benw0od clubs, II Is the iEten-
ton 10 run special train on the Ter
msnal railroad, OF as many cars N will
be required for the purpose. The train
would start at B2nwond. stop In South
Wheeling and take additional cars at
the Terminal depot. The fare for the
round trip would be only twenty cents
from both Bcnwood and Wheeling. This
would be Q. very satisfactory way for the
Wheeling and Benwood clubs. besides
the rate is low. The Terminal people
say they can accommodates l 500 or 1000
people II necessary. Their special would
return after the parade. The North
Wheeling clubs expect TO, cross on the
fcrrybHat Climax"
The sccretary.Of the Tippccanoe club,
OF Cleveland, wrote that they would de-
eide last night, the decision depending
largely on rates. The East Liverpool
and WGllsville clubs have appointed
committees TO make arrangements. The
Stcubenville clubs expected TO decide on
the matter last night The Bellaire. MI.
Pleasant, Colernin, Bridgeport aud other
clubs have promised to participate.
Each mail brings favorable reports. The
Young Ladies Mckinley Club. or Farm
lngt0n, Is expected.
Martins Ferry will cut big figure In
