Pursuant to a call from the Clarke
County Candler Campaign Club, tbe
citizens of this and adjoining coun
ties united in ■ grand- torch-light de
monstration and jollification over the
triumph of democracy aud the elec
tion of Hon. A. I). Candler in the 9th
district. About half-past seven o'clock
the crowd began to collect ou Broad
street in front of the opera house and
amidst the greatest enthusiasm and
good humor began to prepare their va
rious lights, mottoes and' transparen
cies for the processiod. Immediately
on 'the arrival of the North-Eastern
which ’ brought a large delegation
from the Gainesville Candler
club, the procession began to move off.
It was headed by a phaeton drawn by
four handsome horses, and in it were
seated Capt. W. D. O’Farrell, E. T.
Brown, Esq., Messrs. W". B. Burnett
and C. W. Baldwin. Just behind
wete a number of carriages aud bug
gies filled with the Gainesville dele
gation and many citizens of Athens.
Then followed the band wagon with
the Pioneer baud, lead by Prof. A. J.
Wurm, of Atlanta, who came down
for the occasion. Every vehicle was
ornamented with Chinese lanterns
and appropriate transparencies an
nouncing ‘•Candler’s majority, 3,000,”
"Success to the oue-eyed plow boy,”
etc. Then followed about fifty or six
ty men on horse-back, each equestri
an bearing a torch or brilliant lamp.
Behind then came a long procession
of pedestrians with their blaziug
torches and their “hurrahs" for Can
dler. The entire procession was many
squares long and niunt have contain
ed several thousand persons, nlmut
three hundred of whom were colored.
A notable feature was the long line of
students, who thus evinced their in
terest in Col. Candler's election. In
the midst of the profession were four
meubearing a horrible-looking effigy
of Pete Lawslie, which was burned in
front of the Commercial lintel amidst
tbe shouts and hurrahs of the multi
tude,
Most of the residences in Athens,
ail over the city were illuminated with
fancy lanterns und In various and
beautiful ways. The procession march
ed nearly all over tbe city, nut) about
ten o’clock came to a halt at the junc
tion of Broad street atul College ave
nue. Tiie verandahs of the Commer
cial hotel were filled with the fair la
dies of the city, aud out of every win
dow iu adjoining houses the ladies
looked to s*-e and hear Tbe hotel and
houses in its viciuity were ablaze with
maguifleeut illuminations and the
whole affair was one of transcendent
interest and maguificence.
When order was observed tbe vast
multitude was addressed in stirring
speeches from tbe following gentle
men in the order named: K. T. Brown
Esq., Geo. D. Thomas, Esq., Mr. T.
L. Gantt and Mr. W. B. Burnett.
Capt. W. I). O'Farrell, president of the
Caudler club, was then called for, who
after excusing himself, read a tele
gram from Hon. A. 1). Candler send
ing his thanks and congratulations.
After several prolonged and enthu
siastic cheers for the glorious triumph
of democracy, tiie immense assem
blage dispersed to their homes and
peace reigned supreme.
WE PART FOREVER TO-NIGHT-
The following touching lines were
written for the occasion by the jsiet

ward the ball room, which was richly
hung in flowers, with the Georgia coat
ol arms duly displayed. Tiie first dance
was enjoyed by as many ladies and
gentlemen as could comfortably stand
on the spacious floor, while hun
dreds were in the galleries aud
about the arcades. The pro
gramme of dances was carried steadily
through with great zest, and the enjoy
ment of tiie occasion w as 1 pictured on
the sea of happy faces.' The largo
gathering represented Georgia’s culture,
grace and elegance. Most of the gen
tlemen appeared in the regulation even
ing dress. Of the ladies and their toil
ettes an artist might speak in glowing
terms, for there was never before seen in
Georgia such a gorgeous array of fash
ion. There were several imported
dresses sweeping the -ball room floor,
while tiie most delicate devices of the
home modistes were displayed in a hun
dred fascinating forms. A lady who
had ts-en familiar with Anieriban soci

that .she hud never seen, such an ar.ray

At clever! o’clock supper was an
nounced, and the large dining room, to
the crowds which entered, presented a
, BEAUTIFUL SPECTACLE. | . ,.
Four tables, running the entire length
of the room, were richly ornamented
with various designs in flowers and con
fections. On one of tile tables was a de
sign wliic.ii attracted great attention It
was the historic “skillet,’’ wrought iu
tiie most delicate flowers bv Mr. Wack-
endorf, the popular florist.’ Around llie
rim was the name Alexander H. Ste
phens, in heliotropes, worked in white
daisies. On tiie handle were tiie figures
of ids majority similarly worked! In
the center of the skillet were seven yel
low crysanthemuins representing fried
eggs. Tiie entire design was pe: feet and
reflects great credit on Mr. Wachen-
dorfs skill. Some of the pyramids were
very elaborate, and score* of smaller or
naments made the tables rich ami
tempting.
Tiie designs in butter were especially
tine. Among all the ornamental pieces
of tlds kind none was so admired as a
reproduction of the- roller chair and its
distinguished occupant. Mr. Stephens
sat witli liis hat on ids head, as usual,
and in his hand held a miniature copy
of the Constitution, which he vrns in
tently perusing. These are merely a
few |>oints about what was a royal
spread. Tbe delicious viands were
promptly served and tiie sparkling
champagne flowed freely all around.
There was for more than two hours the
spicy table talk to improve what culi

the liody. The supper itself was a trib
ute better than any words to Colonel
Frank Arnold, the famous caterer of the
Kimball, and all oyer it were evidences
ol the fine touch and the delicate taste
of Mrs. Scovilte and Mi’s. ' Arnold. Mr.

which was Unanimously adopted:
Whereas the Hon. Allen D. Can
dler, coming into our midst in early
manhood, spent many of the best
years of his life laboring for us in the
cause of education, and,
Whereas, when the storm of war
burst on our land he went forth from
the quiet halls of learning leadingour
young men to battle, nobly staking
life and fortune in our behalf, aud
shedding liis blood in the actual de
fense of our town. 1.

ing been with him in the hot contest

-The board of trustees of the statu

ent for Mr. Stephens to moet them
there. It was the fullest meeting that

versity. Air. Richard M. Johnson, of

A Peripatetic Mourner.
“Have you got time to do a little fig
uring for me?” asked a seedy man,
leaning over the liookkeeper’s desk.—
"Just a little figuring.”
What is itl” demanded the liook-
keeper, impatiently.
“Put down 22,673,” replied the seedy
man humbly.
"Go on,” said the bookkeeper.
“Got it down already? You are
quick atfigures. Now put down 7,621.”
"Go ahead.”
Now make another column. Put
down 624."
“Come,come! hurry up!"
“And 2,463. Put that now under
the 624.”
“Well; What next?”
“Commence another column with
I, 436 and-add tbe whole business up.”
“How’s that?” demanded the book
keeper. “Add oh the separate col
umns, and then add them together.”
“Add ’em ail at once, It'you'd rath
er,” replied the tramp with humility.
VHqw much does it make?”
“It makes 35,817,” replied the book
keeper. '
“Could you walk that number of
miles?” asked tbs seedy man. -
. “I shouldn’t like to try,” rejoined
the bookkeeper.
“If you saw a man who had got that
far to walk before he eould plant a
stem on: the grave, of his poor old
mother, would you pot lend him a
quarter until he got back?"
Tiie stony heart of the bookkeeper
was not proof agaftist this appeal, and
tiie mourner went away happy.—

The Report Of theTertfr Comm lesion
Washinoton,', Nfliyfmbqr 8,-A
member of tbe tariff commission said
to-day: “The report of the commis
sion will be a surprise to the people.
It. jhas by no means been, accurately
foresltadowed in the long dispatch re
cently sent out by the associated press.
The contrary of many of the'specula

tee meets here in tiie latter' part of
November, as we had hoped, but we
certainly shall have it readv for sub
mission to cougress by the first tMon-i
d^y in December.” The commission
er stated that the commission would
not permit its report to be printed,
bat would send it to congress in man
uscript, and had determined to take all
possiblp steps to prevent ft premature
publication, either of the report or any
accurate statements of its 'contents.
OCrtainly a fair inference from the

be that,.w,batever recommendations
