NOTES AND INCIDENTS.
A large number of sound money Demo-
Gratis Illuminated their houses, among them
John G. Damon, Jones S. Davis, O. G.
Crltchett, G. B. Hazeltine, r. FL. Moody.
Capt John Moore, Selwyn Thompson, Fred
W. Brown.
One of our local insurance men had his
house surrounded by blazing tar barrels, an
indication of the extreme to which political
enthusiasm will carry a man who must re-
gard ire as an enemy.
Many of the stores on Main street were
handsomely decorated. Mansfelds store in
Masonic Temple had one window draped
with gold colored silks and satins and in
front pile of gold coin fanked by bags
labelled 81 900.
Frank Whitmore's house, corner of High
and Spring streets, was ablaZe with light,
decorated with flags, portraits of Mckinley
& Hobart and a transparency bearing a
rooster Mr. Whitmore deserves great credit
for his fine display and he was heartily
cheered.
The only accident of the evening was the
frightening of the horses of one of the buck
boards. They ran away and collided with
the team in which j. W. Wilkins was carry
ing flag. Mr.. W. was thrown ont and one
wheel of the wagon was broken, but no one
was hurt.
The behavior of the horses in the caval-
cade was noted by all. Few of the horses
or riders were familiar with horseback work
and yet amid excitement of firing bell ring
ing, music, etc, and the flashing of lights
and fire in all directions the horses kept in
line we'll and there were no accidents.
The Mckinley rooster was work of art
and attracted much attention. 1t stood 8
feet high, was constructed by Joseph A
Montetiore and II. o. Archibald, printers,
and testities alike to their ingenuity and
skill. Mr.. M. furnished the motive power
and did the Growing.
Havner's stereopticon, which was to have
been feature of the parade, came to grief
before it could get in its work. The team
also contained red fire and other combust-
ables and premature explosion resulted in
breakage of the slides. One of the skts to
have been displayed on the screen was
"Geo. Fred will accompany Bryan up Salt
River. There are others"
The residence of Edward Sibley on High
street and the spacious lawn in front We're
brilliantly lighted and tastefully decorated.
and the same may be said Of the house and
grounds of A. Q. Slhley, nearly opposite
The grounds of Dana h. Southworth on
Church street We're hghted with a gross of
Japanese lanterns, and the house, grounds
and Shrubbery We're taStefully decorated.
The lawn of John IL. Quimby was very
prettily trimmed and illuminated. Con-
gress street was blaze of light from one
end to the othe", there being but few houses
in more than half a mile at which there was
no illumination. The journal office had Its
big rooster in the centre window, japanese
lanterns and decorated portraits of Mckin-
ley and Hobart. Wm NJ. Thayer had
transparency with a portrait of Mckinley,
the word ''this' and a clock, "MckiuleN
this time" At Sheriff Nortou's a trans
parency was made of the large campaign
poster showing by comparison the mills and
the mints. The residence of John G. Da-
mon bore, among the decorations the words,
Gold Democrat" In many places the pur-
traits of Mckinley and Hobart draped
with bunting, We're displayed. The resi-
dence of George w. Frisbee bore upon the
summit of the tower a large transparency Of
d rooster labeled Mckinley strain" Many
places Of business and residences We're very
tastefully decorated and illuminated, but
lack of space forbids a more extended
description.
