| with his credentials a delegate and the
other with contest in his pocket and blood
| in his eye. Both are surrounded by their
devoted henchmen, like feudal lords of old.
Heaven grant that they may not meet and
stain the sacred, historic streets of this
Christian city with crimson surges of par
tiSan blood.

made a showing in the parade of republic

In the parade Of republican clubs last
| night Perry Carson and his sixtyfive

| his hands and smiled.
Carson made an obeisance worthy of
Chevalier Bayard and his followers greeted
| the white republican chieftain with loud
hurrahs

guests of the Goodall Republican Club last
night, where Chase made a speech and his
| followers made things lively for the Phila-
