Special Dispa&ch to The Chicaao Tribune
New YoRE, Nov. 27.-The demonstration to-
day in honor Of the dead Vice~P President WAS the
most imposing military and civic display aince
the bur:al OF Horace Greeley. three years ago.
1t was not equal to the display On that ocoasioh,
and could not compare WITH the exhibition OF
grief observable on the occasion Of the burial
of Lincoln. When Lincoln's body was passing
through the city everv house On Broadgav and
Fifth avenue was draped in mourning. When
the BODY had reached the Thirtieth Street De-
the rear Of the proceasion had not
fled into Broadway. When the rear
of the procession had reached the Thir-
tieth Street Depot, the body Of Lincoln, sped
thither BY rail, was being received st Albany,
$50 miles away When Greeley was burned the
escort
CONSISTED SOLELY OF CARRIAGES.
There waa no military. but from the church In
Fifth avenue to the ferry, 4 miles away, the
streets and sidewalks were almost impassable.
The procession to-day in honor OF Henry Wilson
Was about mile in length The streets were
crowded all day, but the delay In the ar
rival Of the body caused many to
leave, and when, long after sunset. the
head Of the column reached Union Square, where
your reporter was stationed, the crowd had dis
appeared. Nevertheless, only the display in
Boston can exceed in numbers and feeling that
which was witnessed here to-day.
