Camden Political Banner Raisings and Parades

[illegible] A Republican banner raising took place in front of Constable Almor Barr's cigar store, Front and Birch streets, on Saturday evening. At the same time the Central Democratic Club raised a banner on Federal street, above Front. After these proceedings both parties had parades, which were of the go-as you-please order. Some of the Republicans paraded the streets in the upper end of the city, accompanied by a club from Philadelphia.

Westcott, candidate for Senator from Camden county; Richard F. Smith, Sheriffalty candidate; Senator Kennedy, of Philadelphia; John J. Walsh, of Camden, and others addressed the assemblage.
