ABOUT ONE FLAG.
Some Thought the Banners" Emblem

Some Thought the Banners" Emblem
Had Been Removed BY Gold Democrats.
Memorable and important events in
history and many interesting occur
rences that have not laid claim to his
torical record had their impetus or origin
from some connection with the Ameri-
can flag. Such incidents are usually of
serious or impressive nature, but one
that is too good to pass without mention
and which is purely local afforded
amusemust to many and temporary
chagrin to few in Morristown last Sat
urday morning Early on this day the
publishers of the Banner awakened to
find that the stars and stripes that had
fioated to the breeze since the outbreak
of the war with Spain had been removed
from the proud position they occupied,
forming canopy above the street. The
owners of the beautiful national emblem
were justly indignant and threatened
the arrest Of the persons who had dared
to SO trifie with their dignity, for at
first the incident was believed to be a
joke.
There were those who accused the
Gold Democrats Of making way with the
banner displayed in front of an Office
representing the silver wing of that
party. This suspicion proved to be
w;tbo,,t foundation. for after an ex-
haustive inquiry, the missing property
was discovered in the store of Charles
Green. This gentlemen was ordered to
remove the flag by Daniel Leek, who
had lost one Of similar size, and contend
ed that the one in front of the Banner
plant belonged to him. Mr.. Leek's in
structions were carried out, but the
owners of the disputed emblem secured
it later, and now those concerned are in
doubt as to whom the joke best fits.

A Reception TO Soldiers.

The Lincoln Guards will tender re-
ception in the G. A. R. rooms on Wash
inton street this evening in honor of the
Morristown soldiers who enlisted for
the war with Spain. A short parade
will be held before assembling at the
hall for the evening. Several speakers
will be present and other entertainment
has been provided for the boys in blue.
Probably no town of equal size sent
more boys TO the front than did Morris
town and it is but fitting that the resi-
dents should now devote some attention
to welcoming the young soldiers home
after their summer of camp life where
all suffered more or less.

tween Miss Kip and Miss Shelton, both
of whom played from scratch. The eight
best gross scores were allowed to count

was never necessary for her to disclose
her true game, and beat Miss Wetmore 5

PYRoTECHNlcS.
Democratic Fireworks and Vocal Thunder
at wednesday Nights Meeting.


at Wednesday Nights Meeting.
About the only remarkable feature of
Wednesday nights Democratic mass
meeting here was torchlight process
sion with a lavish display Of fireworks,
and the pyrotechnics were continued by
the speakers in the Lyceum. Early in
the evening a brass band began to march
through the streets, followed by hack
loaded with colored lights. This liberal
disposition of fireworks amused persons
on the streets, the children particularly,
and the Hon. James Smith may at least
feel that the little demonstration made
possible by himself was enjoyed from
the sidewalk. But brass bands and fire.
works don't make or change public
opinion, and since the Democrats had
promised campaign of education the
inconsistency of their plan to ''enlighten"
voters is at once apparent and will invite
the righteous indignation of the latter.
After the gallery procession had
passed through a good portion of the
town the musicians repaired to the
Lyceum. While this unique parade
held forth the handful of voters gath
cred in the hall were entertained by
stereopticon views setting forth innumer-
able promises which could no more be
kept than the party making them can
hope for the people Of New Jersey to
vest it with power, which was abused
when entrusted to the Democrats.
At half past eight the Democratic
thunder began to sound, having as its
origin the glib tongne and smooth
language Of Ex-Prosecutor William
Stryker of Warren county. This speaker
was engaged during three quarters of
an hour in quoting statistics and in
arraigning the Republican party, citing
charges that could not be substantiated.
Many outbursts of eloquence from War
ren's ex-prosecutor, which 1t was ex-
pected would make a deep impression,
were received by his hearers in manner
denoting something approaching chilli
ness. 1t may be, however, that sn ap-
propriate winter scene, forming back
ground for those who occupied the plat
form, aided materially in keeping the
meeting in harmony with the surround
ings.
The Democratic candidate for Cover
nor, Elvin W. Crane, spoke in the same
vein as the first orator. He spoke at
length of his record while in the Legisla-
ture, but ignored many charges made
against himself and his party. He did
not refer to the wings of the Democracy,
nor did any of the speakers mention
. either gold or silver; showing that the
party leaders are trying to play clever
hand, but the cards composing it are too
well known to deceive intelligent voters.
Candidates Salmon, Hoagland and
O'Brien appeared before the meeting,
but said little beside promising what
they should do in the event of being
elected. AS such result is extremely
improbable it is doubtful if many of
those present regarded with any great de-
gree of seriousness what these speakers
had said.

The matter was referred to the cfty
