could he paraded within the city linn
its. The procession was organized in
the eastern part of the city, and head
by the CUrnet band paraded the prin-
ciple streets. There were so many
features of the procession thau deserve
especial mention that We cannot dc
! justice to all and so will only mention
y few. Wayne township captured the
prize banner although closely pressed
by the Lincoln delegation. There
were two wagons with sixteen young
ladies in white and one in yellow, one
wagon with sixteen young ladies and
one young gentleman, ali other feat
ure was sixteen Young men riding
white horses and one riding yellow
one. Almost every wagon carried a
banner or motto many of them very
handsome. There was one banner old
and faded that attracted particular
attention on account of its history. 1t
was carried by Mrs. J. K. Miller and
Mrs. ]. A, Bostwick. During Grants
first campaign the republicans of La
Sale county offered Il prize banner,
which was captured by the delegation
from Serena township, whose Captain
was j. K. Miller, Marshall of the day
asst Saturday. The most fun was Gre
ated by the procession of Mckinley
voters, represented by II lot of burros
being driven to tine polls to vote by
Marc Hanna and his lieutenants, til
voter lodged and sqnirmed but the
ruthless whip iu the rear compelled
them forwald Some of the specta
tors were said to have Leen offended
which would suggest that the coat fit
ted.
The parade was the most successful
ever held in this city, and while our
republican friends undertook to belit-
tie it, we doubt if they can do as we'll.
1t had bern intended to hold the
speaking i'm the opera house but it was
seen at i.n early hour that the fourth
of the people would not be able to get
in ami ST. the committee hastily ,.rovi-
del a stand and seats south of town.
The meeting opened about two, with
songs by the Kilsley quartet and the
Kinsley Glee club, and the Wayne
Glee club. Mr.. Simpson spoke for All
hour on the questions before the peo-
pie. He was followed by MIR. Bush,
our candidate for secretary OF state.
who called attention to the many eX-
travagancies of this "business" adj
nlstration pointing ont the greater
amount that it had cost the tax pay
ers than the previous one had. The
Lincoln Glee club created great ell
t!usiasm singing their original songs.
The evening meeting was held i'll
the opera house which was filled to its
utmost capacity. The meeting WAS
opened with song 10y the Kinsley
Glee club. followed in Il short talk by
Mr.. Simpson who spoke for about 80
minutes. The Lincoln Glee club fol
lowed and brought hOwn The house.
Charlie Bucher of Newton was then
introduced and for two hours held his
audience spell bound, making the best
speech heard here this year. When
he skinned republican his audience
howled as though its own hi lie was
fast escaping.
Every democrat in this county may
we'll feel proud of this representative
of democracy, whose eloquence and
personal magnetism stamp him as be-
ing one of the most gifted orators i'll
the state. 1t was Il Simpson day but
a Bucher evening.
