1t took exactly twenty two minutes for
the procession to pass 4 given point, and
the men marched at an unusually auicl.
pace, owing to the cold raw air that was
blowing.
Careful counts at different points alone
the line and by different persons made the
number 1914 at the beginning and 1, 80
near the end Of the parade. Had it 10:
been for the muddy streets and the dis
agreeable and threatening weather there
would no doubt have been several hun
dred more men in line Even under the
unfavOrable conditions named, tho parade
was much larger than the Republican
parade Of Thursday evening, although
they had delegations present from York
and Dauphin counties and from many
townships i'll Lancaster county, while the
Democratic parade was composed entirely
of Lancaster men with the exception of a
small delegation from Strasbnrg.
Along the entire route the procession
was greeted by enthusiastic crowds AMI

chiefly of flags, banners, Chinese lanterns
and portraits Of the candidates. Whilst
there was no general display of fireworks,
4 number Of Datriotically disposed citizens
greeted the arrival Of the pageant will;
rockets, Roman candles and colored
lights, and the procession looked magniii-
cent as it wound around the monument

Of them were i'm admirable taste, attractive
and patriotic, and constantly Spurrcd the
paraders to the most enthusiastic applause,
which was invariably responded to by the
waving of handkcrchiefs and cheers from
ladies and others standing in the door
ways of the residences thus cOmplmcntcd.
At several points along the line drunken
and indiscreet Republicans and silly
women and boys tainted the men in line
and heaped upon them insultin. epitlicts,
"damned rebels, 'traitOrs and 'cOp-
perheads" being tho favorite phrases. At
Water and West King streets the women
denounced the Union Veterans as rebels
and traiters, and at West King and Null
berry rotten eggs were thrown into the
ranks, but did not strike any of the men.
The only serious interference occurred in
East King street just before the parade was
dismissed. A vOlley Of brick-bats and
stones were thrown from Christian street
near the Exchange hotel, and one Of the
men of the Americus club was struck in
the side with a brick. About the same
time two drunken negroes in front Of tho
Young Mems Republican club room were
yelling for Garfield and using the most in
sulting language to the men in line, and it
is said that one of the negroes assaulted q
member of the Junior club of the Seventh
ward. There was rush from the line
after these disturbcrs of the peace and for
a moment it was feard there would be trou-
bic. Colonel Fortey and his staff, who
were in Centre Square, hurried to the scene
and, aided by the company commanders,
soon succeeded in restorin. order. This
outrage in front Of the Young Mems clnb
room is the more :njustiiiablc as the Dem

Three patriotic ladies were waving flags
and cheering the members Of the Fifth
ward club as they passed the corner Of
Mary and West King streets on Saturday
night, when an unpatriOtic Republican
lady 20 ran up, snatched the flag from the
hands Of ono Of the trio, tore it from tho
staff and trampled it under her feet. The
lady thus grossly insulted was very old;
