LAST NIGHTS GREAT RALLY
Unfortunately Muddy Streets and Roads
Interferred Somewhat.
FERGUSONS THEATRE CROWDED.
Speeches Made by Congressman Stone, OF
Allegheny City, and D. c. Henning, of
Pottsville-The Congressman Made
an Excellent Address.

The first parade and general Republican |
demonstration of the campaign in town last /
night was a great success in spite of disap- |
pointment from some sources from which the |
committee of arrangements expected sub |
stantal aid. The disappointments, however, |
were not due to lack of interest, but to
weather conditions The st. Nicholas Nc
Kinley and Hobart Marching Club hoped al
most to the last hour to take part in the
demonstration, but finding that the condi-
tion of the roads left in such bad condition
by the recent rains did not inn
prove Il sent delegation to town
by train to express regrets and say that with
more favorable conditions the club will take
part in the next demonstration MahanOy
City sent delegation with similar message.
Ashland was on hand with nearly II hundred
men in attractive campaign uniforms and
torches with flames that seemed to vie with
the enthusiasm of the bearers. The marchers
passed along the route of parade ON the pave
ments, acting ms escort with the Grant Band
| and the mounted guard under command of
Chief Marshal James S. Williams and Edward
| Kester and NJ. p. Blazis his aides, to the
carriages containing the speakers and several
| prominent Republicans of the county.
| Tableau lights and fireworks made the route
of parade brilliant and the cheers and other
expressions of enthusiasm of the people as
the marchers passed through the streets
showed plainly that the campaign Of educa-
ton has caused as big a drop in the Bryan
/ sentiment as the white metal has taken in
the markets.
Upon arrival at Ferguson's theatre the
Grant Band took position on the elaborately
decorated stage and rendered one of its
favorte selections as the people poured into
the theatre and filed all the available seats.
The assemblage was large one and the
speakers were listened to with great atten-
! tiOn.
