at Warren.
This YEARS memorable and exiting
campaign was wound up in Marshall
county by big jollifcation meeting
at Warren on Tuesday evening this
week. That night surely the city
was overhowing with Republican en-
! thusiasm and good humor. Repub-
licans from all parts of the comfy
had come in to celebrate in a fitting
manner the recent glorious victory
A hundred came up from Argyle on
the evening train and about fifty
from Stephen, and large numbers
we're in from the country towns. I'm
mediately upon the arrival Of the
train from the northa grand torch
light procession formed at the de-
pot, headed by a mammoth 'Ele-
phant,'' p symbolizing the &. 0. p,
and the Warren Cornet Band. Many
unique features suggestive OF the
campaign were introduced into the
procession. The Argyle contingent
brought with them q jack ass, having
on a covering labelled ''Popocrat''
and "l6 to II on side and
rear, led by a man with swallow
tail coat, labelled ssBryan'' on back,
and :Sewall'' and .sWatson" respect
lively on each tail. An OK led by
the side of the ass was supposed to
represent the defunct Populist party.
A golden rooster on top OF a flag pole
was an emblem of victory. Trans
parencies with pictures of Mckinley
and Eddy appropriately inscribed,
we're carried, and Roman candles
were discharged along the line OF
march, which extsaded through the
business portions of the city on the
east amp west sides to the opera
house. The ringing Of COW bells and
the capers of calathumpians gro
tesquely arrayed enlivened the scene.
The opera house was soon complete
Ilypacked by the enthusiastic admirers
OF Mckinley, and here the following
program was rendered:

Rev. Spicer pointed out the response
bilities resting on the victorious par.
ty, believed it should faithfully carry
out it's pledges to the people, and be
magnanimous to those who had op.
posed it in the contest. He believed
that the dawn of better era had ar.
rived, and that under Republican
leadership the country would ad.
vance in prosperity and national
grandeur. Mr. Grindeland's speech
was largely in a humorous vein and
was great hit. His reference to in.
cidents in the local campaign, and
especially his many witticisms and
puns at the expense Of the local can.
didates brought down the house eve.

taken an active part in politics, and
he hoped the time would never come
