New York, 1.-The parade of th
Boys in Blue and kindred r,puhl;ca
ass ciations, tonight, in honor Of Ger
Grant, was brilliant and inoosin
al spectacle. A feature Of the demonsira
r ton was the number Of business men an,
employees in line. The a.socia,ions il

: and strong in Membership. They wer

representations Of political cluOs, ant

HUDSON River towns ard those on thu
I Inc OF the Harlem Railway we're scarcely
behind. Every man carried q torch Of
lantern. Those who had the direc,

for The great numbers who participated
and all easily found the designated place
10 fOIm preparatory 10 the march
Special trains were run from points IOC
miles outOf town, AMI each was crowded
with persons coming 10 view the
spectacle. Brooklyn, jersey City and adj
! IIaeent cities and towns contributed vast
Plumbers OF sishtseers, supplementing the
Population OF New York, giving to the
city "a crowd and commOtion il rarely
possesses. Political headquarters, many
hotels, business houses and residence
i were Illuminated while every window,
stoop and vsntage ground was filed with
peop'e. ---------
i General Grant, leaning upon the arm
of General Che.ter A.yArthur, al 1895,
stepped on the reviewing stand, where
representative republicans had already
gathered. Both gentlemen were enthusi
astlcally received. At IL 80 the end of
TIE procession reached the reviewing
point. 1t is estimated that between 40, 600
and $4,000 men were in line. ift
| New York, l2.-At this hour, am,
the great procession is not yet over. There
was never demonstration in the city or
county that rivalled it.
he Times says: Fifiy-six thousand
men were in line, and it is well known
thousands deserted and went home
after standing in position without moving
for more than FIVE hours. An observer
who left the scene at 1880 found Is, 0OO
stretched away for miles who had no op-
port1nity to march and would not have
for an hour to come. The procession
contained number Of triumphal cars
drawn by six horses, and other similar
devices 10 take up room and time II was
simply a solid crowd of Garfield voters,
and nothing else. Portraits OF Garfield,
Grant, Arthur and Conkling we're loudly
cheered. Indeed, 1t was great feature
of the occasion, that the enthusiasm and
applause on tho part of those who viewed
the procession were quite equal to those
expressed by men in the line. Hanc 9ek
men were evidently scarce, certainly
quiet and subdued, only making them |
selves heard in sneers and ieers as negroes
passed.
The representatives, of different trades
and professions In the line were the most |
enthusiastically cheered, and seemed to /
show in this respect the draft of popular
sentiment, Altogether it was q decided /
to republicans and cor
ng dsmper on their opponents.
So far as known there was no accident OF
anything approaching riot, though the
outline CLUBS near the river front were
subjected to q good deal of banter from
Hancock men, mostly of a gcod-nstured
character.
The Herald says it was the finest spec
.scle OF the kind ever witnessed in New
! ork. 1t was rs brilliant display as il
vas a magnificent compliment Tie
Herald says the parade numbered so, eco
men.
The Sun says half OF those engaged in
he trades were democrats and received |
y per man.

The Times says With over 1910 men
n line perAding before mere than 300,-I
100 spectators, and with a display OF
that seemed almost i'm
the denomination Of last
aight was on all sides conceded not only
A grest success but the mo t remarkablel
and noteworthy OF its kind which The
,ity ever witnessed The procession
Itself was not only remarkable for the
number Of persons and all men at that,
who took active part in it. but for the
character Of those who choose 10 this
way TO show their ardent regard for
republican principles. Among the men
who took part in the procession and who
lonored themselves no less than the
cause they espou.ed by their presence,
we're members of very many of the fore
nost firms Of bankers, brokers, produce
dry goods and carpet mer-
chants, and others whose names Rret
among the best known in various COM
nercisl csllings. The procession itself
was full ofinteresting features. Themsrch-
ng was very much better than is usual
q the turn out OF civilians. The uni
orIns Of the men were tastefully and
varied, to avoid the reproacb
If sameness, which is so often the case
n demonstrations of this kind. The
music was exceptionally good, every
irst-clsss band of the city and neighbor-
hood appearing in the line. There was
. sufficient number of very bright cal
,ium lights in The procession to furnish
flare which is regarded as in separable
rom affairs Of the kind. Frequent dis
charges of fireworks also assisted in
making the scenes more pleasant and
varied 10 the eye, and the hearty cheering
If the parsders was something worth
listening to. The crowds OF spectators
we're enormous.
The Times comments thus: The Tam
many parliament had its uses In showing
.he kind of men and boys who are sup
posed to desire change 10 the national
administration. Last night the repub-
lean parade was very impressive

could be much more instructive than
between the struggling lines of hard
featured democratic professionals and
.he compact, well-ordered ranks oil
$1,000 intelligent, law abiding citizens,
who made so imposing a display, last
night, of tSeir unalterable devotion to
republican r-'lciples. Tsmmany ex-
nibited to New York the kisd of popular
sovereignty which is represented by the
corner loafer and the rowdy. Tie repub-
leans showed the sovereign people who
are the custodians of our morality, our
education, our commerce. The least re-
1ective observer might infer the nature
af the change which would attend thu

,ented in the parade of yesterday. Ii is
many dsys since New York has been
better calcui atsd to show how broad and
ieep are the foundations of the great re-
publican party. Never, in all the history
Of the party has it given, on the eve Of
3 close and exc ting election, and in the
very citadel IF the democracy, evidence

triumph.
