Williams & Co.'e., In West Dalles precinct at 12 :45, 171 voteB bad been cast, and at 1 o'clock there were 133 in Trevitt. . At 2:45 1,072 votes had been cast in The Dalles district; 210 in Trevitt, 255 West Dalles, 280 in East Dalles and 227 in Bigelow. One election bet was made yesterday oy a uaiies speculator, ie putting up $300 on Bryan on the general result, against $900 on McKinlev. There is absolutely nothing doing to day that will make an item ; nothing but politics, and those so deep, so in tent, so silent that an item cannot be gathered from that source. . There was a pWty at Mr. and Mrs. N M. Lane's residence, at t'-.e west end of Third street, last night, at which a num ber of young people gave a hearty wel: come to the bride, and showered con gratulations on Mr. Lane. . .. ' There is a large element of what might be called unclassed voters, ; citizens whose politics are not on their sleeves or in their months, and this element is going to be' felt by somebody when the ballots come out of the boxes tbnight. The invitations issued by the D. P. & A. N. are very neat; bearing at their bead a cut showing the steamer Dalles City passing through the canyon below the rapids. They will probably be kept as souvenirs by those fortunate enough to receive them. It ia expected the dispatches concern ing the election in the East, will begin to come in in good shape by 7 :30. This would be equal to 9:30 at Chicago, and 10:30 at. New York.

It is probable the result will be known tonight by 1 or 2 o'clock. The D. P. & A. N. Co. has issued- in vitations to the mayor and councilmen of The Dalles, the Transportation com mittee and Cascade Locks committee of the Commercial club and to the stock holders of the company to visit the locks Thursday. The Dalles was lively enough last night for anybody. By 7 o'clock the streets along the line 9I the parade were crowded with people waiting patiently to see the turnout. There has been a remarkably hot sentiment on both sides in the election finished today. The O. K. & N. is still handling vast quantities of wheat, but there are still other large amounts to be handled.- For another month at least the big 40-car trains will be kept rolling. Farmers are holding considerable grain waiting for another rise, which they think, and proDamy correctly, wuuqoon come. Messrs. binnott & rish have arranged for receiving the election returns, and will have them . posted as fast as re ceived. As they stood the entire ex pense, which is considerable, it is fair to presume that there is nothing too good for their guests. They invito everybody interested in the election to share in the information received. The ladies of the Christian church served dinner today at the rooms next the land office to a large number of guests. The room was tastefully draped and the tables on one side covered with white, the other with yellow table cloths, a piece of delicate suggestion to the political desires. Supper will be served until 8 o'clock this evening. The fair waitresses were tastefully dressed, and wore aprons suited in color to the political opinions on both sides. "Be them jellow flowers a token of a gold man," said a worthy Hibernian friend to our reporter this morning. Being assured that the wearers of the yellow chrysanthemums coula safely be classed as gold men, he again asked : "And be yellow the gold men's -colors to day?" Again he was assured that he had guessed right. J'Then by the Powers," said be, "divil a gold vote has been cast this day, for sure I watched the boxes and every blessed ticket that was voted at all was white and the judges wouldn't let any others be voted at all." ' Attention Kvervbodyl All members and ex-members of com pany G, and all members of The Dalles fire department who will take part in the parade Thursday night, are request ed to report at, the armory at 6 :30 o'clock that evening. All members of civic societies taking part in the parade should assemble at K.. of P. hall Thurs day evening promptly at 6 :30. It is fur ther requested that all citizens of The Dalles and .vicinity who will take part in the mounted division of the parade report their names to Captain Ad Kellar up to Wednesday night, in order that proper arrangements may be made.' Those taking part in this division will report to Captain - Kellar promptly at 6:30 Thursday evening. 1 -- ---(iiiiiiiiiriii wri"- KiTurniri o 9 J THE END OF THE BATTLE. Republicans Close the Campaign Blaze of Fireworks. At an early hour yesterday evening the sidewalks along Second street were filled with Dalles citizens anxious to eee. the Republican and Democratic parades and to gain, if possible, some idea of the relative strength of the parties.- The Bryan club started from its headquar ters on Union street first, but its line of march brought it down Second street a tail-ender to the McKinlev gathering. The Mc.Kinley parade was one of the largest ever taking place in The Dalles, and Second street was a blaze of fire works, as the army of torches gleamed and flashed steadily down through the muddy streets. 'Fortunately there was no rain, but from the way the boys took to the mud, it is safe to say that nothing short of a deluge conld have dampened the ardor' of that crowd. The 'ears, as well as the eyes, were informed that something was going on. A big dray, handsomely draped with bunting, con tained a big bell that eent forth a con tinuous clangor, while accompanying it in its dire discord some kind of a Chi nese scare-devil made a din that would have proven the dominant eeventh in Pandemonium. Another dray similarly draped vomited fireworks like a minia ture volcano. Then there was a big fish wheel from 'Seuferts, mounted' on a wagon, and drawn by Winans Bros, big six-horse team, and following this a steam engine witfi a whistle like a calliope, and mixed and mingled in the finish were carriages and horsemen, old men and boys, women and girls, all en thusiastic, all shouting themselves hoarse. After them came, the Bryan parade, smaller in number, but as enthusiastic as those who preceded them. There were fireworks, too, bat not on so grand a scale. But we give "our friends, the enemy" credit for doing some tall shouting. At the conclusion of the parades the McKinlev followers fille'd the Vogt to over flowing and. were addressed by Hons. E. L. Smith and Rofus Mallory. The Bryan people ' wound up at the Baldwin opera house and filled it to the doors. There Mr. Frank Clarno ad dressed them for an hour and a half, and from the applause which greeted them, be must have touched the right spots. At the Vogt, round after round of applause showed that the audience appreciated the telling points made. The Glee Club rendered the- opening song. After the address by Hon. E. L. Smith, the German singers gave a selec tion that brought forth hearty applause. At 11 o'clock the meeting adjourned and thus, ended as far as the speech making was concerned, the most hptly contested and important political cam paign ever, fought in Oregon It is use less to speculate on results, for they will be known definitely ere we go to press again, but comparing tb,e two parades and judging the vote by the numbers participating.

MAIER & BENTON The Dalles. - GRAND CELEBRATION At The Dalles on the Opening; of the Locks Thursday, Nov. O, 1B. The reception committee will meet the visitors at the Cascades, and after the opening ot the locks will escort them to The Dalles. Upon arriving at The Dalles a grand procession will be formed, ending at the Vogt opera house, were a reception will be held. Hon. John Michell will deliver the address of welcome, and responses will be made. by distinguished guests. At the conclusion of the reception the guests will be escorted to the Umatilla House, where a barbecue will be served. A ball will be given at the Baldwin opera houee free to all guests. ' A Quiet Klectlon. The election today has been, in The Dalles at least, a remarkably quiet one. Little knots and groups of men have gathered to talk in subdued tones over the situation, but there has been less hustling, less noise, less of apparent ef fort to control or influence votes than at any election for years previous. . Both sides seemed to realize that the work was done, or such as there was yet to do was to be done quietly . and indoors. Party lines, or rather policy lines, have been moie closely drawn than ever be fore, and this is one reason why the work is apparently less upon the streets. Most voters were out of the doubtful list and time would be wasted in attempting to influence them. At 9:15 a reporter visited the polling places in Trevitt and Bigelow precincts, and at 'that hour thirty-eight votes bad been cast in the former and forty-three in the latter. The dav has been a beautiful one. clear and warm, and the vote promises to be the largest ever polled in the pre cinct. The Regulator Thursday.
