A BIG CELEBRATION.

BY our Cherry Greek Correspondent.
The people OF Cherry Creek have lost
none OF their patriotism. On Wash
ington's birthday every flag in town
was thrown to the breeze, and when
the ''Father of his Country" was dis
cussed, the eyes OF the old sparkled and
the young were delighted to hear the
stories of the old patriot. Aye, and
when the Silvermen spoke of George as
being u true bimetallist, then the listen
ing group would with one accord pro-
claim, Nv ould that We had more
George Washingtons.'
Young and old OF both sexes from far
and near came to town to join in the
celebration, as it had been announced
that free ball would be given to cele-
brate the victory of the Silver Party in
this State. The hall, one of the largest
in the State, was crowded to its utmost
capacity with a happy throng The
walls were beautifully and artistieally
decorated with flags, banners and suit
able mottoss, and large pictures OF
George Washington, Andrew Jackson
and w. j. Bryan.
Eyerybod threw of dull care and
declared 1t was the best dance they ever
attended. Those who had been es-
tranged, kissed and made up, and it was
decidedly jolly occasion.
The Hon. VIM. Burke, one OF the
promoters OF the celebration and an old
war horse of the silver cause, was called
on for speech, and never being unpre-
pared to talk silver, made ringing
speech, full of wit and sound argument,
with mingling of sarcasm, though NO
personalities we're INDUCED In to offend
anybody. Critics pronounced Mr..
Burkes speech Of a high order.
The Hon. Chas. Greene, one OF our
representative silver men, received the
following greeting from the State Off
GERS, which was read to the meeting
amidst great applause.
ITO THE GENUINE SILvERMEN OF

Last Friday evening the Ladies OF
tho Social Club OF Ely gave dance and
box supper, which was very much en-.
joyed by those fortunate enough to be
present. After the first two or three
dances the spirit of mlrth began to as
sert itself and from that time on things
went lively.
At about IL o clock the baskets were
sold to the highest bidders and in 20
minutes the whole dozen were sold at
tho hig hest limit Of price-one dollar.
Several more could doubtless have been
sold had the ladies brought them.
Every body was invited to the general
spread and all ate, drank and were
morry together.
The dance was kept up till morning.
Financially as well as socially 1t was a
grand success and the promoters are to
be congratulated for their efficiency of
management.
