Mr. Itandnll'e Triumph.
The Tsliobaph was mistaken in suppos
ing there wonld be a contest in the Bonn-
sylvanie Demoeratio convention on yrster-
day. The error was a common one and
grew ont of an under estimate of the
strength of Mr, Randall. No finer illustra
tion of bia popularity conld be desired than
is fonnd in the fact that after months of
oarefnl preparation on the part of his ene

to crush him, met at noon and by dark had

AN UNEQUALLED DEMONSTRATION'.
This tribute to tbo hero statesman on
whoso head hu been visit-
all the ains of defeat
and whose silent forbearance and inspiring
fortitude nnder tho greatest adversity, will
be worthy the man.
It will be an ovation that has bad few
eqnals in all annals ol history. The Sonth
will rise in a body to pay tribute to Mr.
Divis. Every living ex-Confederote sol
dier that can possibly come, wiU bo here
to do honor to the distinguished gnest.
The demonstration wilt be a tribnteof love,
veneration and confidence. It will be in
finitely grander than any triumphal pro
cession in honor of Ciuiar returning from
victorious fields. Every vein will throb
with happy excitement, and every heart
will beat with glad joy, to look onoe again
on the gr-nd representative of tho Lost
Cause.
Tbe demonstration will probably oontinne
two or thtee days. There will be reviews
of regiments and brigades. Owing to hU
feeble health Mr. Davis will not be allowed
to tempt his strength by making a speeeb,
bnt the gallant soldiera who fought nnder
him aa chief of all the armies, will be satis
fied to look npon hiB venerable and cher
ished form again as they pass in review be
