ToRCHLIGHT PROCESSION.
On Saturday night the RePubli-
cans held q jollifcation over their
late victory. Early in the day the
streets began to ill with enthusiast
tic McKinleyites and lease people,
and by the time the hour arrived for
the demonstration, the crowd was
very large. The parade was headed
by the City Band. The larger por-
ton of men in the line of march
were on horseback. The streets
were all pretty well travelled by the
procession, and the houses along the
line of march were gaily decorated
and brilliantly illuminated. A large
bonfire was built on the site of the
old tower. Many transparencies
were carried, among them being this,
"What Morgan Did to Mcdonald
Was a Plenty" Many were origi-
nal and unique. The "same old
COON up tree, played conspic-
uous part in the affair, by being
hauled in road wagon. Alter the
parade had ended, Hon. U. S. G.
Pitzer, of Martinsburg, addressed the
people in front Of the Court House,
and brought forth such cheers and
hurrahs as only Pitzer knows how
to call out in this county. Pitzer's
only equal in enthusing the people OF
Morgan is Hon. J. J. Hetzel. The
paraders went to their homes having
apparently enjoyed the occasion of
growing over their fallen foe, to the
extreme.
