LINCOLN CLUB wHooP IT UP.


LINCOLN CLUB WHOOP IT UP.
1t was half past ten O'Clock when Col.
John ID. Printable came down from the
Lincoln club into Monument square
carrying a flag and followed by the
American Cadet band. Behind the band
came about two hundred OF the Lincoln
club members with plenty of red tire.
This was she most enthusiastic gathering
OF the evening and as usual the Lincoln
club whooped 1t up all along the line OF
march which was very long one. First
they went up Congress street to the Con-
gress Square hotel where the band played
"Auld Lang Syne," and Col. Printable
called for three cheers for Gov. Cleaves
and Hon George p. wescott, which were
given with a will. The procession moved
on to the Portland club few doors above
the hotel where there was plenty of red
fire burned and some fire works set OH.
Three cheers were given for the Portland
| club, but no speeches were made. The
Lincoln club then continued on to the
residence OF Hon. O. Il. Libby, where
there were more cheers. Then they went
down High street to Mayor Robinson's
and then around by the way Of Deering
street to State and up State to Congress
to the residence of Col. Fred N. Dow,
who was also cheered. After this the club
went down and cheered Gen. Fessenden
and then marched about the Western end
Of the city stopping every now and then
to cheer some prominent Republican.
After this the Lincoln club serenaded
and cneered the PRESS, and continued
to march, around until midnight when
the wind OF the band players gave out
and the celebration was at an end.
THE PRESS EXTRA EDITION.
At ten O'Clock the PRESS got out an
extra edition with the completes returns
up to that hour, giving the result of the
election and the electoral vote which was
certain at that time. This was the first
time in history that newspaper In Port
land has been able to get out an extra at
such an early hour giving the result OF a
national election. The edition was the
only extra printed In Portland and sold
rapidly all over the city. No other paper
attempted to give its patrons the news In
this manner and the extra was much ap-
prsciated by those who were unable to get
down town to hear the news for them
selves. In this extra edition were two OF
the finest half tone pictures OF Mckinley
and Roosevelt that have ever been
printed by Portland paper.
THEIR LAST PARADE.
The Bryan Zouaves and Silver Eagles.
the Democratic campaign clubs, stood
about Exchange street clad in their thin
uniforms and shivering In the cold night
wind until half past ten o'clock waiting
for some news which would give them an
excuse for parading. BY that time the
ranks OF the marching clubs had become
sadly depleted by assertions and when at
last tired of the long wait the clubs
started of to do little parading there
were very few OF them. They cheered the
Argus. Missed the PRESS and got up as
far as Monument square with their cheers
growing more feeble all the time. where
they disbanded and gave 1t mp for the
night. 1t was the last parade OF the
Bryan Zouaves and Silver Eagles for the
year.
PORTLAND CLUBsCELEBRATE
The Portland Club also got band
about 10 o'clock and chartered an electric
car. This was filled with the musicians.
enthusiastic Republicans and was illumi-
mated with red fire. while fireworks OF
several kinds were kept going. This car
went over all the lines In Portland, up
to MunJoy Hill and then back to the
West End, while the Republicans cheered
everything in sight and the band played
all the inspiring tunes it knew. After
this the Portland club serenaded the
PRESS and the Cumberland club and
having cheered until they were hoarse
the club members gave IL up for the
night.
