| Many of those who took part in the
big parade of Wednesday evening, find
fault with the REPUBLIcAs for not say
Ing In flaming head tines that at least
ten thousand men we're In line. This
paper took great pains in reporting the
parade to have everything correct, and
the man who added up the figures Of
each company as the captain gave them
to him is much more competent, II must
seem, TO say how many men were In
line, than he who marched with enc
particular body or stood on the side
walk and threw up his hat and cheered
as the line went by.
This year there has been great mis-
representation Of parades outside of
Wilmington, the true numbers being
doubled and in many instances multi
piled, and some demonstrations, in
which the number of marching men
was put at ten thousand, we're not so
large as that which took place here ON
W Wednesday night.
All the outside papers are lavish in
praises of the parade, and all the Phila-
delphia papers published long accounts
yesterday. Following are a few points
from neighborhood dailies
Chester Times "The greatest polit-
ical demonstration ever made in Della
ware was the parade Of the Republican
cldbs in Wilmington last evening.
The citizens We'd with each other in
entertaining the visiting olubs, every
arrangement having been made for
their ample refreshment after their
long march. An aid was delegatedil
each club, and it was his duty to take
that club or part Of it, to certain
place of entertainment, and 30 other
club was in the vicinity to annoy 1t. At
least one hundred persons threw open
their houses and dealt out provisions
most lavishingly. Every man Who has
returned from Wilmington is loud in
his praises Of the treatment received at
the hands Of the generous Wilmington
ians. ALI concur in saying they were
better entertained and provided for
than anywhere in this campaign"
West Chester Republican "Last
night the Republicans Of Wilmington
had a monster parade which was parti-
ctpated in by large number Of Chester
county clubs.
To Mr.. Lea Pusey and family, Of No?
1905 Pennsylvania avenue, the Boa
Crew is indeb bted for the most substan-
tial entertainment of the season. An
elegant oyster supper had been prepar-
ed, all the delioacies of the season were
provided aud Captain Haley and his
men did ample justice to their repast, at
the conclusion Of which Lieut.. Com. Il.
c. Nields extended the thanks of the
crew to the hospitable family. The
Young Mems club was entertained by
Thomas Il. Ssvery, son OF Hannah H.
Savery, this borough, IN his premises
at 812 Washington street. Beautiful
ladies from the surrounding neighbor-
hood acted as walters, and the boys arc
loud in praises in the manner in which
they were treated"

and our West Chester people who took
so much interest in it, wera as much
gratifisd as though the affair had been
part Of the campaign work in our own
county. The number in line was very
large, of course, it being estimated at
not less than 5000 and the eAthusias-

West Chester Local News "The
parade in the Diamond State, or rather
of the Diamond State of last night, has
net been equalled by any Middle State
demonstration, except in Philadelphia.
We say this confidently, for representa-
