THE REPUBLICANS
Paraded Six Hundred and Thirty Men in
Bridgeport, Last Night.

Paraded Six Hundred and Thirty Men in
Bridgeport. Last Night
Bridgeport Republicans have had the
first last and only Publication they will
have this campaign,
1t was only one of expectancy, which
will be crushed in dire despair on next
Tuesday at the polls.
The town. il seemed. was taken in charge
by the Hanna crowd. for they placed
transparencles over the arc lights, shot
Roman candles and sky-rockets among the
crowds. doing good deal of damage to
the wearing apparel of a number of peo-
pie
The parade was a fairly good turnout
for the size of the town and the mud it
contains. but many were disappointed,
for q far larger turnout was expected.
Owing to the situation of the little viii
lage and the easy access to it by street
car line. Bellaire and Martins Ferry sent
large crowds, the majority of them being
young people out just for time.
The parade formed about eight o'clock
on Bank street, and wadcd through the
mud i'm the town in the following order:
Meister's Band.
Wheeling Division:
Elkins Cadets and Drum Corps-55 men.
Six Footers-33 men.
Tariff Champions-41 men.
C.. b. Hart Boys Club and Drum Corpse.
Young Mems Republican Club and Drum
Corps-1 men.
Martins Ferry Division:
Danford Guards and Drum Corps-6i men.
Gold Bug (boy's club and Aetnaville
Clubs-50 men.
Bellaire Division:
First Ward Republican Club and Drum
Corps-3S men.
Mckinley Colored Clubs men.
Young Mems Sound Money Club and Drum
Corpse men.
Blackburn Cadets and Drum Corps-5i
men.
Mckinley Club. of Bridgeport-IS men.
After parading Kirkwood and the pike
as far AS the toll gate, they started for
Aenaville. where David Armstrong OF
cleveland was TO speak. The Wheeling
clubs could not stand it any longer ana
they dropped out of the parade the re-
mainder marching to AetnaVlhe.
Here Mr.. Armstrong addressed an open
air meeting consisting of about 500 people
including the clubs. The train Tor the
Rellaire contingency arrived during the
speaking. and they broke from the crowd
Yelling. shooting of their exploding canes
and heating their drums. Mr.. Armstrong
However. continued. threw his arms in via
desnair. and cried for that honest dollar

The longer he talked the louder ne sIew
in his protestauons against silver coined d.
q ratio of 1s to 1, and the smaller the CROWD
crew. and thus finally ended the great
md Hanna night in Bridgeport.

ABOUT WESTON.
Democrats are Active and the Gold
Bugs Efforts are Meeting No
SuCcess---Interesiing Gossip.

Special to the Register.
Weston, w. Va. October o.
For about one week, large posters
have been circulated announcing that
Henry Austin Adams and j. B. Sommer-
vile, gold bug Democrats. would speak
here to-day.
They came, they saw, but did not con-
Quer Their audience was the smallest
which has greeted any speaker during
this campaign.
Mr. Adams made a speech to few
hearers and many empty seats. Had it
been known that he would eulogize our
gallant Bryan so strongly his hearers
would have been more numerous. Truly
it would seem he is supporting Bryan.
Mr.. Sommerv.lle spoke tonight This
is Mr.. J. 3. Sommerville, who while in
the State Senate a few years since made
a great speech in denunciation Of the
twelve representatives who refused 10
support Mr.. J. n Camden the caucus
nominee, for United States Senator, and
who read out of the Democratic party

highly honorable.
The Democrats arranged to keep their
speakers in town to-day, expecting 10
receive a challenge for joint discus
sion, which they were ready to accept,
and which was laughing,y threatened.
The challenge has not come. Mr.. Adams
meeting with W. W. Brannon, at Buck
harmon, and John.e ROoney's meeting
with Mr.. Byrne here, has fully satisfied
them so far as joint discussions are
concerned
The repeated ringing Of the court
house bell, to which a fire alarm is at
tached, created some alarm. The
severe roasting which the railroad COM
pany has deseryedly received for sus-
pending business and going into poll
tics has set the officers to thinking. To-
day the honorable task Of meeting and
receiving the speakers was delegated
prominent bank official The COM
pany's chief officers, however, could not
resist the temptation TO attend the
meeting, but they were consp.cuiously
kept out OF prominent parts in the pro-
gramme The people here are keeping
their eyes on the pay car.

LET EN- COUNT.

It is given out in Republican circles
that the Intelligencer has threatened
to have men stationed at different
points. to count and time tomorrow
Democratic parade, and then make afh-
davits to the result.
This is a good move, particularly the
affidavit feature.
But why didn't the Intelligencer ap-
pend an affidavit to its bald-headed lie
of last Monday, that the Republican,
parade of the Saturday before contain
ed "over five thousand men. and that
the Keystone club had l,2OO men II
line?
Any paper that fails or refuses to
vouch for his own assertions of It's own
party parades ought not to expect any
one to believe its statements about
parades of the opposite party, even Il
they are accompanied by atiidavits.
