PALMYRA DEMOCRAT Palmyra, Wayne Co., NY Wednesday, October 10, 1888 The Grand Reception Last Friday evening the Lyons Republican Ring held a grand reception in honor of Warner MILLER, who addressed the immense concourse of people assembled in the Court House in that exquisitly beautiful and scrupulously clean village. The managers of the Ring issued invitations to several Republican drill corps to be present on this momentous occasion; and, in compliance with the invitation, so magnanimously extended, the clubs from Newark, Palmyra and Macedon doned their regalias, filled their lamps, and proceeded, via the 6:23 West Shore train, to answer the call of that more than generous, open-handed, free-hearted, Lyons Republican Ring. On arriving at that beautiful city, these various organizations (many of the members of which had quit their various occupations and went immediately to the depot without waiting for supper, supposing that the Ring, out of the abundance of its political pap, would at least furnish them with a doughnut and a cup of cold water,) were formed! in line, and after standing there for near a half-hour, were finally met by a single horseman leading a band. The companies; with Palmyra drill corps at right of line, then marched through the principal streets, lighting up the mud-holes and yelling themselves hoarse over the Ring illuminations, finally brought up in close order in front of the Court House. Here the question was asked by the Captains of the several companies, "Where is the Reception Committee?" Echo answered, whare? In order to answer this intricate problem, 1st Lieu't of Palmyra company was detailed to find the committee. He forced himself through the crowd, into the auditorium, and up to the platform, where he found the President of the Lyons club, in company with leading magnates of the Ring, comfortably seated, and listening with much pleasure to the music of a fine glee club, the eloquent words of gifted orators, while their invited guests, the bone and sinew of the party, men who do the hard work! , men on whom they rely for the votes to elect their candidates to county offices on the sixth day of November next; were standing out in the street, in mud, ancle deep, while a cold, drizzling rain made them feel very cross-grained. The Lieutenant asked those proud leaders what arrangements had been made for the reception of his and other companies; in reply, he was answered, Nothing! He was told to dismiss his company, and let the men refresh themselves as best they could. Lucky for them, they all had money, earned in honest toil, and immediately proceded to do so; after which they wandered about in the darkness, illuminating the village by the light of their torches until time for the departure of a special train the Republicans of Palmyra had taken the trouble to secure. Perhaps the Lyons Ring think they made a large number of friends by the fine reception tendered the guests from this part of Wayne county; but that delusion would have quickly vanished had they been! present at the departure of that west bound train. A Horse Who Can Talk? Everybody has heard of a "horse laugh" but who has ever seen an equine gifted with the power of speech? such an animal would be pronounced a miracle; but so would the telegraph and telephone have been a hundred years ago. Why, even very recently a cure for consumption would have been looked upon as miraculous, but now people are begining to realize that the disease is not incurable. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery will cure it, if taken in time. This world-renowned remedy will not make new lungs, but it will restore diseased ones to a healthy state when all other means have failed. Thousands can gratefully testify to this. All druggists.
