Lancaster i-nteiltgencet.
FRIDAY EVENING. OCT. 22, 1880.
That Peer Parade.
The use of parades te parties is te show
their numbers and animation, te en
courage their followers and intimidate
their opponents. Therefore it is essen
tial te the party having them te take
care that they shall be as large and en
thusiastic as possible, for if they disap
point public expectation they de great
barm instead of geed . Ne doubt the Re
publican leaders in Lancaster county
appreciate this fundamental rule of po
litical management, and did all that
they could te make their demonstrations
yesterday a success; and that it was any
thing else was no fault of theirs. They
bad plenty of money te expend en it
and plenty of men te engage in it. Why
then was it a failure ? Wc assume that
none will dispute that it was a peer show.
The number of men taking part in it
was below the average and their enthu
siasm was very markedly small. The
delegations were few in numbers and in
considerable in size. The decorations
and banners were very ordinary. The
wagens were unsightly. The. spirit of
the moving line was somewhere down
about the freezing point.
Around the speaking stands but a few
hundred assembled : and the torchlight
precession in the evening was but half
the size of the previous demonstration
of the same kind by the party and was
about as quiet as a funeral precession.
" W'hv den"t they cheer V exclaimed an
ardent llcpublican lady by our side, as
she herself hurrahed for Garfield again
and again. But they would net cheer in
the line. They were net in the humor.
The Indiana tonic seemed te have lest
its effect and they were mere limp and
spiritless even than when Maine had just
struck them.
These were the impressions the great
Kcpuhlican demonstration made en us,
and if we observed it rightly a .signifi
cant deduction is warranted. It just as
surely presages, a Republican defeat, if
the feeling here is a test of the general
feeling, as though the handwriting was
read upon the wall. These who admit
that, after all the elaborate preparations
which were made te have a grand
Republican display, the display was
net there because the Republi
can voters were net inspired te turn
out. or when out were net moved
te any enthusiasm for their cause, must
concede that the demonstration failed of
its object, and lias tended te discourage
Republican hope of success by showing
lack of Republic: u w?al. In this contest,
closely waged between the parties, it is
all-important te observe which has the
greatest spirit and which is therefore cap
able of the greatest effort. "We would trem
ble for the Democratic cause if it could
net, even in this strongly Republican
county where we are outnumbered two
te one. secure a larger county mass meet
ing, and one which would show many
times the ardor and enthusiasm which
its opponents exhibited when they weie
called together. We have been went in
presidential ears te witness in this
county a great outpouring of its Repub
licans in celebration of the great day of
their campaign. The parade has always
been imposing. This time it has been
baiely mere than contemptible when
compared with its predecessors, and had
upon its opponents an exhilarating in
stead of depressing effect. It showed
clearly enough which was net the light
ing cock in this main.

leader and con-
treller of a faction supporting a second
electoral ticket claiming te be for Han
cock, refusing te enter into any arrange
ment with the regular Democratic or
ganization by which but one Democratic
electoral ticket should be voted for in
Virginia, it became certain that his tick
et was kept in the field for some ether
purpose than te secure the election of
Hancock and English. And when he
came te Pennsylvania and was found in
consultation with Republican leaders iu
Philadelphia, and then went te Harris
burg en his way back te Virginia, and
slopped there te confer with Simen Cam Cam
eeon, any possible doubt as te the felly
of trusting his intentions was removed,
and the national committee was imper
atively called upon te disarm him of his
power for evil, by proclaiming te the
people of Virginia its distrust of the Ma
bone electoral ticket and urging every
man who desires the election of the Dem
ocratic candidates te vote for the regular
ticket. General Mahenc should lie power
less for evil after this recommendation.
Surely the Democrats of Virginia are
wise enough te see that they must all
voteferom: electoral ticket if they would
carry the state ter their party; and since
they have been unable te agree upon one
ticket they will accept the decision of
the national committee as te the one
they should vote for. There can be veiy
few Democrats in the state who are in
terested with Mahenc in the schemes of
personal ambition or gain which he seeks
te subserve by keeping his electoral ticket
in the field with the certain result of de
feat for the Democratic ticket in the
state if he can command any consider
able Democratic following. Surely few
Democrats will b; se silly as te want te
draw the chestnuts out of the fire for
him and burn their own fingers in the
oerulien by giving the electoral vote of
Virginia te Cm field.
That Innocent Jewell.
The innocent Jewell has been badly
caught in his colonizing operations in
Flerida by the embarrassing return of
bis own despatches te the Democratic
committee. Flushed with the result of
similar manipulations in Indiana, Mr.
Jewell hastens te repeat them in ether
states. J)eubtless Flerida is net the only
one in .which the game has been started.
A concentration of negrees from the
... " I

help may carry the Republican ticket is a '
very obvious suggestion te a Republican
committee which is "net restrained
by any consideration from using the
most available means for success and
which has all the money it needs te con
duct its operations. Evidently, how
ever, the work should have been put in
stronger hands than Mr. Jewell's. lie
answers the requirements in having the
needed elasticity of conscience, but he
has been guilty of a blunder which
his party will consider te be a geed deal
worse than his crime, when he made it
possible that his damaging telegrams
should se speedily get into Chairman
Barnura's hands. His work being thus
discovered, it will be easy enough te
make it innocuous. Neither Flerida nor
any ether Southern state is likely
te let in any foreign Republi
can population for voting purposes :
and this amiable effort of that dear
Jewell te deprive the Democratic party
of the odium of possessing a solid Seuth
will fail. Is it net amiable in them te
be se anxious te remove from us this
shame? Hew anxious our Republican
friends are te Imj their Democratic
brethren's keeper ! They lay te us as a
great offense this solid Seuth, and would
se dearly like te take it from us ; but
they had better let us alone with our
idols and leek out for the electoral votes
further North. They have their hands
full there.

THE MAN UK U1S DOUBLE?
Ail Extraordinary Case of Denbtlul Identify
Hcpndiated by Ills Wire Identified
by Brether unl Sister.
The case of the Youngs, as curious iu
many respects as the famous Tichborne
case," was taken up in the surrogate's court,
New Yerk, Wednesday. The man claiming
te be Thcephilus Yeung, whose identity .is
the point new in dispute, is net a claimant,
but appears in aid of his brother, iu oppo
sition te a suit brought by his wife, the
legal status of which rests upon the alle
gation that Thcephilus Yeung is dead.
The case grows out of an inheritance te a
share in which Theephilus Yeung was en
titled. The distribution of the prepcity,
which is situated in Xew Yerk, was de
layed by a lawsuit, which was attended te
by Henry Yeung, the elder brother of
Thcephilus, and who was the executer of
the estate in litigation. Thcephilus re
ceived advantages en his claim from his
brother, amounting iu all te $2,200, and in
1870, at the time when the last sum was
paid him en this account and when the
prospect of a decision in their favor seemed
very uncertain, he together with his wife
made ever te Harry "Yeung all his rights
in the estate in consideration of the amount
already received. The suit resulted in
fover of the Youngs, se that Harry Yeung
made ft geed bargin when he bought out
his brother's interest. Thcephilus Yeung
appears te have done nothing mere
in the matter, however, and no
action was taken it until after
his death was reported iu Bosten, in Feb
ruary, 1870. He had disappeared, and a
body in the morgue was identified as his.
In October, 1877, his widow obtained let
ters of administration from Surrogate Cal
v in, and immediately sued Henry Yeung
for the share of Theephilus iu the estate,
claiming that the sale of his interest was
invalid. Henry Yeung replied by an ac
tion for the revocation of the letters of ad
ministration, en the ground that his
brother was net dead. He obtained an
injunction staying her suits against him
until the case before the surrogate should
be settled.
A geed deal of evidence in the case, in
the shape of affidavits and of testimony
taken before a commissioner, iu Bosten,
has heretofore been submitted, and a re
sume of it was published in August last.
It is very ceutlicting. n the one side
were produced witnesses who positively
indentified the body found as that of Theo Thee
philus Yeung, and witnesses came forward
for the ether side who declare that they
had seen and, in some case, talked with
Theephilus Yeung since the date of his
alleged death. In the meantime a man
claiming te be Theephilus Yeung
himself turned up, and has since
been living quietly in New Yerk
shunning public observation. Mrs.
Thcephilus Yeung once made application
for his arrest as an imposter, but nothing
was done iu the matter. If an imposter,
he had never attempted te impose en her,
for he refused te go near her. They met
for the first time yesterday before Mr.
Edward F. Underbill, who was appointed
by Surrogate Calvin le take testimony in
the case. A man about forty years of age,
of medium height, with light eyes and a
sandy moustache, came into the court in
company with Henry Yeung. He said
that he was Thcephilus Yeung. Referee
Underbill asked Mrs. Yeung whether thi.;
man was her husband. She looked at him
for a moment and then said, in a loud
tone, " That is net my husband."
Henry Yeung was then put en the wit
ness stand. He identified the man who
called himself Thcephilus Yeung as his
brother and as the husband of Mary J. C.
Yeung. Early in August, he said he re
ceived a letter from his brother asking him
te meet him en August 9 in the lav.- office
of E. G. Drake. He met hi.s brother en
the appointed day and saw him often from
that time te August 24. He identified his
brother by a peculiarity in the format i m
of one of bis finger nails and of his lower
teeth. Sephia Yeung, sister of Thcephilus':
also identified as her brother the man who
called himself Thcephilus Yenng.Tlie bear
ring was continued.

The Democrats of Philadelphia made
their last great marching effort of the
campaign last night, and it was the great
est effort of the kind ever made by the
party in that city. The demonstration
had two great features that were te a
certain extent distinct. One was the pa
rade of ever twenty-three thousand uni
formed and torch-bearing mcu en Bread
street, and the ether was a reception
of General Geerge B. McClellan by the
Hancock Veterans, connected with a mon
ster meeting which first filled Horticultu

that building. " Little Mac " himself pre

popular favor, but last night's welcome
exceeded them all. The connecting link
between the parade and the great meeting
was a review of the countermarching lines

and that was the point when the cuthusi

a fine appearance. The streets were se

while the enthusiasm of the men was un

The Xerwalk Heur, an independent
Republican paper, which has considerable
influence in Fairfield county, comes out
for Hancock. It savs Garfield's own ex
planatien of the DeGelyer $5,000 bribe
business is agaist him. The editor had
waited, before deciding his course, in
hopes that some better explanation than
General Hawley's or any ether than has
yet been attempted, would be made for
Garfield ; but he found all the attempted
explanations, about the $5,000 being a
"fee,' and all that humbug, were all
against Gai field and that the latter, in
trying te explain his conduct, had by his
own explanation condemned himself. The
Heur says Hancock needs no "certificates
of charactciy'but that Garfield has as many
as a quack medicine, or a tee often dis
charged servant girl.

Court of Quarter Sessions.
Friday Jlermng. Commonwealth vs.
Jehn L. Detwiler, malicious mischief.
The prosecutor in the case was Levi Det
wiler. a brother of the defendant. He
claimed that the latter tore down a shanty
which he had erected en his fish battery,
in the Susquehanna river, near Turkey
Hill. The commonwealth proved that the
prosecutor purchased the island en which
this battery was erected, en June 11, 1871),
for $400, from Samuel Sprenglc. He paid
$100 in cash and gave Mr. Sprengle a note
for ij-sue ler the balance, which was ler
twelve months They showed that he re
ceived a deed and built a cabin en the
battery. After a short time this battery
was tern down by some one. In July,
1879, Sprengle met the prosecutor and ten
dered him back the note, but the latter
refused te receive it. Since that the prose
cnter offered te give Sprengle the value of
the note but lie refused te take it. On the
7th of last May the defendant, with several
ethers, went en the island and tore down
the cabin, the lumber of which was taken
te a rock in the river. On account of this
tearing down of the shanty the suit is
brought.
It was shown by Samuel Sprengle of
Wiudser township, Yerk county, that he
sold this island te the prosecutor and gave
him possession of it; he received for it
$100 in cash and a $300 note, with the un
derstanding that the deed should net be
given until security en the note should be
obtained ; a week after the sale the prose
cutor rescinded the contract and the wit
ness paid him back $100 and they agreed
that they should net call it a sale. On
June "0 witness sold the same island te
Jehn L. Detwiler and Win. P. Mundis for
$500, deeding it te them and giving them
possession of it, they then tore away the
cabin which had been erected.
Mr. Sprengle was corroborated by the
defendant aud Mr. Mundis, as te the lat
ter part of his evidence ; they were sub
ject te great annoyance by the prosecutor
who put up a cabin and claimed a right
te fish en the island. On the 7th of May
they removed the shanty and placed it en
a rock a short distance from the battery.
The prosecutor denied that he had re
scinded the contract, that he bad received
any of the money back that he had paid or
that be had given up possession of the
island te Sprengle.
The jury rendered a verdirfcofnet guilty,
with the prosecutor and defendant each te
pay hair the costs.
Cem'th vs. Mary Boekmycr and Ida
Wise, forcible entry. Mrs. Boekmycr in
May last lived in a house belonging te
Jehn Schcrff. She refused te pay any rent
and Mr. Scherff desired te dispossess her.
He obtained a writ of possession from
Alderman Wiley which was executed by
Constable Samuel Bewman. The officer,
with several ethers went te the house en
May 10, aud removed all the furniture
and household goods belonging te the dc-
lendant te the outside et the house which
was then locked. Mrs. Boekmyerwas net
at home when the officer came, but her
niece, Mrs. Wise, interfered with Scherff.
When Mrs. Bookmyer came home she
found the house locked and she broke open
a shutter of the house. In this way she
effected an entrance and she and the ether
defendant carried all the goods back
into the house. They had new locks put i
en the doers and shutters and arc new liv
. - T" I
ing in the house.
The defense was that when Mrs. Book Beok Boek
mycr came home she saw that her furni
ture was net all outside of the house. She
went in te bring the remainder out ; she
merely pushed the front deer open, but
did net break or force the shutters or the
deer.
After the evidence was in it was agreed
by counsel te take a verdict of net
guilty as there was no force or violence
used in returning the goods te the house,
and they had net all been removed by the
constable.
The cases of cem'th vs. Mcses Walling,
William P. Mundis, Jacob Dellinger and
Henry Leng, which grew out of the Det
wiler case, wcre nel pressed.
There wcre no mere cases for jury trials
and the jurors were discharged.

FINIS.
THE KEFUBLICAN COUSTV
TION OVER.
CONVEX-
A Tame Affair The Mass Meetlne and
Torchlight Parade Dreary Fizzles
Country Politicians
Disgusted.
The great Republican convention, "the
old-fashioned county convention " as the
Republican managers were pleased te call
it,bas ceme and gene, and there is but one
opinion expressed in regard te it by all
honest men whether Republicans or Dem
ocrats, and that is, as compared with former
demonstrations of either party it was a
decided failure, net only by reason of the
comparatively few men in line iu both day
and night parades, but also en account e'f
the lack of enthusiasm among the men,
and Very peer representation of the me
chanical trades and manufactures, and
the slim display of fireworks.
Prominent county Republicans have
expressed te us net only their disappoint
ment at the unsatisfactory appearance of
the pageant, but their 'indignation and
disgust with its management. They say
the affair was get up for the glorification of
Frank Eshlcmau and Elias McMclIen. As
an inducement te secure a large attend
ance the managers premised te have here
ex-President Grant, United States Senater
Blaine, Governer Heyr, and ether big
guns, net one of &hem was in attendance,
and whose places were poorly supplied by
thc slobbering Buckeye Blacksmith, the
ranting Steckctt Mathews and the illegal-fce-grabbing
Attorney General Lear.
City Republicans, who had been led te
believe that an immense multitude would
be in attendance.aud who made great prep
arations te entertain them, are even mere
disappointed and mere out of pocket than
their country cousins. They laid in hun
dreds of dollars worth of previsions,
bought from the managers permission te
erect lunch booths ou the poorhouse
grounds (where the mass meeting was
held) for the sale of their stock, and ow
ing te the slim attendance there some of
the hucksters did net sell enough stnli te
pay the rent of the booth, while they have
en hand large supplies of cooked feed
which is almost valueless. Keepers of res
taurants and bearding houses down town,
are also losers by providing tee largely ;
indeed the only persons who appear te have
reaped any particular advantage from the
convention arc the hotel keepers and beer
saloons. These were largely patronized, in
many cases te the disadvantage of the
patron.
The mass-meeting en the poeihoti.se
grounds was a tame and spiritless affair.
When it was ascertained that neither
Grant, nor Blaine, nor Heyt was present,
and that even "honest Jehn Strohm"' was
net te preside at the meeting, the boys
deserted in crowds and came into town,
leaving an audience for Attorney General
Lear and Gen. Koentz, neither aui-nt've
nor enthusiastic.
During the afternoon Jehn W. Bear,
the Buckeye Blacksmith, mounted the
court house steps and gathered around
him quite a crowd of men and boys, te
whom be rehearsed a number of anec
dotes, and tried te impress upon them the
danger they were in from the bloody
rabcls. The "Buckeye" has lest all hi.s
old-time vigor, but none of" his black
guardism. In the evening at 7 o'clock the clubs be
gan te assemble at their appointed places,
equipped and carrying torches, for the
great torchlight parade, which it was
expected would eclipse anything ever &ceu
in Lancaster. But again were the mana
gers deemed te disappointment. At half
past seven o'clock the bugle sounded
the advance, and one of the bands,
whether thoughtlessly or by design we
cannot say, struck up a funeral march
the Portuguese hymn aud te this slew
music the solemn precession moved oft' to
wards Woodward Hill cemetery ! The
line was exactly twenty minutes, includ
ing several stoppages, in passing a given
point. The display was net te be com
pared, cither iu number or appearance,
with the late Democratic parade in which
only the city clubs took part. It was a sad
disappointment te the managers, who
had flattered themselves they would have
net les3 than 5,000 men in line, whereas,
exclusive of boys and bands, there were net
mere than one-fourth that number, and
several hundred of these were from Yerk
and Dauphin counties. The city clubs
were miserably represented, some of them
net numbering mere than a dozen men.
The mounted men, cxcIiimve of mar
shals and aitls, numbered less than a
hundred men at the beginning of the
parade and bad dwindled te less than a
dozen before its close. The men iu line
had a fair opportunity of taking in the ex
act size of the parade during the counter
march en Seuth Queen street, when in
double column it was found te be less than
three squares in length, the head of col
umn passed the rear below Conestoga
street. Before the route was half
gene ever several of the country delega
tions fell out of line, leaving great
gaps iu the parade. The L-impcter dele
gations fell out en East King street, and
ether delegations left the line en l'rince
street. As the parade passed Pulton hall
and moved out West King street, there
were gaps in the line nearly a square in
length, and with these gaps unclosed, the
right and left of the precession in the
countermarch, passed each ether near Mill -berry
street, showing that at that time it
was only about two squares long in double
column or four squares long iu single col
umn. The Columbia delegation, numbering
ever 200 men. the finest delegation in line,
by the way, did net reach Lancaster in
time te join the parade when it started,but
fell in finally and added considerably te
the pageant by their fine marching and
fancy evolutions. The high school boys
also marched well, and performed several
evolutions creditably, but most of the
clubs marched with weak,unsteady,play-d-out
tread, the men appearing te be disgus-

The only enthusiasm shown was by the
colored men, most of whom were noisy and
net a few drunk. There was net, however,
considering the occasion, an unusual amount
of disorderly conduct. The police only
"pulled"' about twenty-five drunken and
disorderly persons during the day, though
there were many mere that deserved le be
arrested.
Neither Mount Jey nor Warwick was
represented in the parade. The reason
given for their absence is that when the
Republicans of this city had a parade some
weeks age they turned out in force te
make the affair a success, but when pa
rades were held in Mount Jey and Li tit,
the city Republicans "went back en
them." They premised te send 700 men
te Lititz, whereas they only sent 1(57 ; and
they broke faith almost as badly with
their Mount Jey friends.
Rather an awkward incident occurred
in East King street, near Centre squaie,
just before the night parade started : A
man somewhat under the influence of
liquor commenced te " hurrah for Gener
eral Lengstrect, the here of Gettysburg,
who fought se gallantly against that old
copperhead Hauceck,'" and " hurrah for
the gallant Republican guerrilla, Colonel
Mesby." There was some inclination te
lynch the fellow, but as he persisted that
he was a geed Republican and was hur
rahing for Republican- officc-hellcrs, they
didn't knew what te de about it. Finalh
he was hustled out of the ranks, still hur
rahing for General Lengstrcet and Colonel
Mesby!
While the parade was passing a'cnjj
East King street near Middle a ruffian in
line threw coal oil all ever the marble steps
and marble base of Mr. Hclman's new
houses, staining them se badly that they
will probably hare te be replaced. The
