Only one thing can interfere with the big Kepublicau rally at the county seat on Friday and that is mean weather. All arrangements have been perfected and the big event promises to be of larger proportions than Chairman Mack expected.

It the fine October weather of the last lew clays continues the crowds which will be here on Friday will excel those of any similar demonstration held here for years. Every district in the county will be represented and almost every township will send a large delegation. West Mahoning and West Wheatfield have each promised 100 men mounted on horses and as these two districts are among the ones farthest away much larger crowds are expected from the nearer townships. The parade promises to be the feature of the clay, both morning and evening, and each district iu the county will be represented in the moving panorama. At night a graud display of fireworks all along the line of march will add much to the effect.

It is hoped that persons living along the line of march will decorate their homes and business places with nags and buntings. Each one can greatly assist the committee in this way. The committee will have Philadelphia street transformed into one long avenue of red, white and blue colors and the visitors to the town will be pleased with the novel trimmings. Senator Quay cannot be present on Friday. Chairman Mack received a telegram announcing this fact.

Major McDowell, A. B. Walter Lyon, Chairman Elkin and others will make addresses. The Elkin Glee Club presents a novel and striking appearance in their new white flannel hats and Icggins and their copper ruby lanterns trimmed in gold. The boys will sing their choicest songs on Friday.
