Chenango Semi-Weekly Telegraph
Nov. 18, 1896
Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY]: The celebration on Saturday evening, in honor of McKinley's election, was quite a success. About 300 participated in the parade with flags, torches and Japanese lanterns and the Guilford and Bainbridge bands and the Afton drum corps. Altogether they made quite a show as they marched through the principal streets, to the Athletic park where the crowd was addressed by Mr. Kellogg, of Oneonta, who was received with hearty applause. Sky rockets, red lights and a big bonfire helped to make things lively.
The two oldest men in town were here and voted for William McKinley: Ezra P. Church, 94 years, and Charles Bixby, 91 years.
