THE NEW YORK REPOB-
LICAN PARADE.
The Largest and Finest Polltl-
al Demonstration Ever
Seen on the Continent.
OVER 10000 MEN IN LINE.

NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-At this bour, . a.
m the great procession Is not yet over.
There was never q demonstration in this
City or country that rivalled 1t. The Times
SAYS SO, 900 men were in liueand It is known
Thousands deserted ard went home after
standing in position without moving tor
more than i've hours. An observer VINO
left the scene at 1890 found l5,Ooo men
stretched away for miles who had ne oppor'
tupitv to march and would not have for an
hour to como. The procession contained
no triumphal cars drawn by SIX horses ana
other similar devices to take up room and
time. 1t was simply solid crowd OF Gar
field voters and nothing else, Portraits OF
Garfield, Grant, Arthur and Coukling were
loudly cheered. Indeed, it was the great
feature of the occasion that the enthusiasm
and applause on the part Of those who
viewed tho procession were quite equal to
those expressed by the men in line. The
Hancock men were evidently scarce, GER
tainly quiet and subdued, only making
themselves heard in sneels and jeers as ne
groes passed. The representatives OF the
different trades and profession in line wece
the most enthusiastically cheered aud seem
ed to show in this respect the duff OF pop
ular sentiment. Altogether it was great
encouragement to Republicans and a Ger
responding damper on their opponents. sc
far az known there was no accident or any
thing approaching riot though clubs near
the river front were subjected 70 good
deal of banter from the Haocock men, most
ly Of good natured character.
The Herald says it was the finest specta-
| Gle of the kind ever witnessed in New York
AS brilliant a scenic display as 1t was q
magnificent compliment. 1t says the pa
rade numbered $4,000.
The Sun says half Of those engaged in
the trades were Democrats and received
their dola,s per mau.
The World ridicues the proc in q
short news article but has not word Of
editorial comment.
| Tue Times says "with over 60, 600 men il
l;ue, parading before mole than 300, 00(
spectators and with display of thusiasm
that seemed almost unreasonable, the dem
onsrration of last niget was on all sides cou
coded not only great success bat the mos
remarkable aud noteworthy of its kind
which this city has ever witnessed. The
procession itself was not only remarkable
for the number OF persons, and all meu al
that, who took On active part IN it, but fo'
the character of those who choose in this
way to show their ardent regard for Repub
lican principles"
| The Times comments thus "The Tam
many parade had its uses in showing the
kind of men and boys who are supposed tc
desire change in the national administra'
tion. Last nights Republican parade was
q very impressive demonstration on the
part of those who think no change neces-
sary. To the impartial and Independent,
voter no contrast could be made much more
instructive than between the liues of hard
featured Democrat processionists and the
compact, we'll ordered ranks of the 10000
intelligent, law-abiding citizens who made
50 imposing display last night.
