ANOTHER BIG DEMONSTRATION
Made BY the Republicans, Last Night
Meeting in Upper Norwood.

Made BY the Republicans, Last Night-A
Meeting in Upper Benwood.
All the local Republican organizations.
including those Of Benwood, turned out
last evening as a preliminary to holding
a meeting in Upper Benwood, where
something like halE-a-Gozen speakers
were to make addresses.
The uptown clubs formed on Chap
line street, from Twelfth street south,
and went down via. Twelfth and Market
streets. The column was headed by
Marshal Baguley and a mounted staff Of
half-a-dOzen, and then followed the Ell
kins Cadets, the Tariff Champions, the
Six FOOters, the COlOred Club. the First
ward Club the Fifth ward Club, the
Sixth ward Club, the Atkinson Club, and
The Dovener Club. The BenwoOd clubs
joined the column in the vicinity OF For
ty-third street.
The parade was one Of the longest the
Republicans have yet had, there being
about eight hundred men in line. The
streets were crowded, as they always are
on an occasion of that sort, and the best
Of good order was everywhere preserved.
It was eight o'clock when the clubs
got fairly started. and it was ten minutes
after nine when the Drovers' Home, in
the rear Of which the meeting was held,
was reached. The place is a very bad
one for a large meeting, the ground be-
ing divided by fences and partially occu-
pied with a dancing platform and otner
distractions, and as a result not over
one-third of the crowd attracted could
get within hearing distance Of the stand.
Some Of the marching clubs LEFT as soon
as the meeting was opened, and others
departed within the next hour, while
two-thirds of the uniformed men left
had social time with sew
eral hundred young ladies who arrived
on the scene coindent with the Inaugural
ton of speech-m3king. The meeting
was presided over by d. w. Martin, VINO
introduced Capt. Jack Crawford as the
first speaker Capt Jack rec.ted a poem
or two. and then gave way to Thomas
O'Brien. Jr., who preiaced his remarks
with the statement that The Register
would be sure TO say that there was
very small crowd present. In fact, he
said he would stake his reputation as
prophet on that proposition. MI
O'Brien was succeeded by City Solicitor
6. O. Boyce. who delivered some impas-
stoned remarks and then gave way to
DR.. C. H. Paine, Of Charleston, VINO
made the address OF the evening. Inc
NEE ing was held under difficulties, as
the air was very raw and cold, yet good
many remained until e.even o'clock,
when the meeting was adjourned.

The effect was to deplete the treasury.
The effect was that in times of pro-
found peace, when there was not the
least reason to contract debt, they
have compelled the government to issue
1852 100000 of bonds within three years.
The Republican party says we must
sustain that policy until we can get an
International agreement. Mr.. Riley
plainly demonstrated to his hearers that
it was Idle to expect England to enter
into an international agreement, but if
such an arrangement was possible 1t
was not the policy of this government
to enter into international agreements.
We should keep free from foreign en-
tanglements and stand on our own bot
tom.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Riley's ad
dress, which was logical and much ap-
preciated, the meeting was adjourned
with three hearty cheers for William
Jennings BRYAN.

~THE MAN IN THE IRON MASK"

THE MAN IN THE IRON MASK
Dumas great novel, The Man in the
Iron Mask has been adapted to the
stage by Donald Robertson, as a four
act tragedy, and will be presented at The
Opera House tonight, and tomorrow
afternoon and nign;, by Mr.. Robertson
and an excellent supporting company
including Miss BTanden Douglas. The
tragedy tells Dumas story faithfully.
Mr. Robertson sustains the dual role OF
Iouis XIV. and his twin brother, Inc
Man in the Iron Mask" Miss Douglas
appears as Marie D'Ostranges, the pc
loved of CASTOR. The play and company
come here with the most flatterlng no
tices from dramatic critics throughout
the country, and the engagement at the
opera house will no doubt be very sue
cessful.
"THE GREAT DIAMOND BREAKER.
"Tbe Great Diamond Breaker will be
PRODUCED at the Grand Opera House Oc-
tober i. Is and II, by large and capa-
HE company. This attraction is strong
melodrama with several novel features
of a sensational order, one showing
coal crusher at work being essentially
novel. The hero is cast into shute
leading to the pODderous Jaws, ana IS
saved at the last moment from being
mass Of crushed humanity. a whip
ning-post scene is also introduced. Inc
nlav possesses sensation. comedy and
natbos. and is sure to meet with most
enthusiastic reception by the entire the
atre-go.ng people of this city.
"PRODIGAL FATHER"
Notwithstanding the political excite
ment on the street last night, the Grand
Opera House was filled by an audience
that laughed itself sore at the clever and
funny comedy introduced in Glenn Nc
Donoueh's "Prodigal Father" which
opened a three nights engagement at
that popular resort. The play was seen
here last season in two engagements,
and made a great hit then, but the per-
Torrance now is superior to even last
wears. The company is large and is
composed of excellent talent. Many of
the old faces are still recognized in the
cast. and where changes have been made
they are for the better. The always
clever and springhtly sOubrste, Miss
Rose Melville, is wonder and her spec
ialtv is the most laughable ever seen in
wheeling. She will be remembered as
tho Sis Hopkins in "Zeb.' and her spe-
cialtv and acting then, as now, creates
a sensation in the way of laughter and
applause. .
THE Prodigal Father" will be seen at
tho Grand the rest Of the week, with
matinee tomorrow.
