APPEAL. . IF OFDEMOCRATS The Manner of the Ending of
 the Campaign
 THIRD AVENUE THEATER Place of Birth of County Ticket Received It In Its Entirety Again for the Last Time--An "Overflow" Af- fair at the City Hall Plaza.

The finale of the democratic county campaign last night was not altogether lacking in brillancy or enthusiasm which was wrought up by very cred itable street parade a quarter of a mile in length along stations of red fire. In a town like this where so many boys are allowed to run at large it is not as hard a thing to get up parade as it might seem to be, especl- ally when the boys are provided with lighted torch. However there is no purpose to detract from the enterprise of the democrats.
 The rallying point was the Third Avenue theater where the county ticket was born with elact and high hopes only short month ago. On the way to the theater, after a meandering Of the streets, the procession encountered the band of the republicans, playing in front of the headquarters of that triumphant party and the mingling of the democratic, "A Hot Time in the old Town Tonight" to the accompani- ment of the hOoting host of youngsters carrying torches, with the lady like strains of the Blue Danube" produced a discord which made those who heard it fall upon their knees and return thanks to the Most High that elections come only once every two years.
 The theater was comfortably occu- pied. There were isolated empty seats in the auditorium and a sprinkling of them in the gallery, though a consider able part of the audience preferred
 
 facilitated escape.
 There had been an understanding that the principal speaker would be Frank Cox, who has charge of the campaign of Marcus A. smith, and that the appearance of the county can didates would be only incidental. That however, was not the case. MT. Cox was not present. The county candi- dates were the whole show and all there was of it, with the exception of Capt. CrenshaW, who came near being a candidate. and Judge Baker, who has taken part in democratic campaigns so long that he has been made an honor ary member of every democratic tick ct that has been nominated since the Deluge. Capt. Crenshaw presided. The first speaker was George Purny Bullard. who devoted the first part of his remarks to a disclosure of some of the sacred secrets of the campaign and cast reflections upon the personal hab- it's and manners of some of his asso- ciates. the object of the speaker evi- dently being to show that the tribula- tions he had undergone especially en- titled him to receive votes though the other members of the ticket got none. The cooking of Hoghe, the hideous snOres of Fulton, and the oratory and mixed figures of Webb and Hunsaker. were matters which MT Bullard thought could not be put up with for nothing.
 Mir Bullard sought sympathy and spread consternatiOn by the announce ment that Fred Gardiner was "agin" him, but he said he was glad of it.
 Judge Baker, in a speech of some length went over the record of the democratic party and in a general way he showed that the aggregation of lO-, cal candidates was as choice as could be collected in this community. Most of his address was presented in behalf of Mark Smith. He resented as an in- fringement. the arguments of the re- puolicdhS tndt StdIehoOu was lhe thlhS more especially desired. That, Judge Baker said, was a democratic argument adopted on the organization of the party, the only authorized clamorer for statehood. Mir. Smith was also the only blowin- the neck of the bottle in troducer of statehood bills. Statehood obtained in any other way than through the agency of Mir. Smith, Judge Baker believed, would prove delusiOn and a snare.
 The judge dwelt somewhat upon the fact that the record of the republicans in congress had been against statehood. He ignored the fact that the republi- can leaders are now for it: that the republican party is not like the old Bourbons, incapable of change, never
