Thus monster parade was the feature
of the night and fully equalled the
most sangulne expectations. 1t
seemed as though entire Newark an 4
surrounding places were III the streets.
Broad, Market and adjacent thor
oughfares were impossible, The sid e,
walks and streets were thronged with
closely wedged people of all grades
and both sexes. All day long the
trains, special aud regular, brough
in human freight, and it is estim ated
that forty thousand stran gers
were in town. The decorations
were general throughout the city.
Even the political opponents of Gov
ernor Cleveland doing honor to his
presence, among them, after an alb
sence of so many years. Chinese Ian
terms in picturesque feStoons hung
from the fronts of many handsome
business houses, banks, etc, and IN
many localities were stretched en- tire
ly across the street. Bunting was
everywhere; and in front OF many
buildings large portraits of tie demo,
cratic candidates were suspended
frequent intervals along the line of
march. Red light stations had been
established and the glare from these,
combined with the torches and
the many calcium lights render
ed tke streets as light as day.
Weather, though mild, was threat
ening, and early in the evening there
was light drizzle of rain; but not
enough fell to interfere in any way
with the parade, or the pleasure of
those who witnessed it. Windows,
roofs, balconies, and all other points
of vantage along the route of march,
we're occupied by men and women,
who seemed TO never tire of waving a
welcome to the different organizations
as they passed.
In the vicinity of the city hall,
where the reviewiNg stand had been
erected upon which Governor Clove-
land, Governor Abbet.. Mayor
Haynes and many other dlgnitaries
stood, men, women aud children
were packed in one solid, inpenetrat-
able mass of humanity. Coy. Cleve
ing the whole time the monster
procession was passing in review,
and as various organizations saluted
IN passing, he gracefully acknowl-
edged the compliment by bowing and
waving his hand Ever and anon
some organization would send up
sonorous cheers, which would be
taken up by the enthusiastic populace
and carried along acres upon acres
of people with mighty volume.
The eXtemporized stand upon
which the governor stood was
elevated ten or twelve feet above the
street and extended to the curb 1t
was brilliantly illuminated with four
electric lig Is, and three balconies s
above were packed - Overlooking, as
was also the main stand. So closely
were the streets packed with surging
humanity that horse car travel was
suspended. The procession was over
two hours passiag the reviewing
stand. II got under way before 10
o'clock. The route of march was
from Central avenue to Washington
street, to Broad, to Clinton avenue, 10
High street, to Central avenue, then
to Broad street where tie parade was
dismissed. Many of the mottos borne
by the clubs aroused enthusiasm OF
the vast mass Of humanity who wit
messed the procession. Occasionally
the airs played by the bands (of
which there were forty-three. besides
thirty nine drum corps were caught up
by the populace, and the streets rang
with cheers The effect was impress
s,ve. A count of men as accurately
as circumstances would permit show
ed 13, $40 men in the line that passed
the reviewing stand. There were
twenty-three parade wagons in the
procession. The demonstration was
characterized as the greatest ever
seen in Newark The last organiza-
ton passed in review at IL o'clock,
when with fiaal cheers the crowd dis
persed.
Gov. Cleveland was escorted to his
carriage and drove at once to the
depot, where he took special train
in waiting for New York. Tomor-
row he reviews the First and Second
divisions of the National guards of
New York. He leaves for Albany
late to morrow night
NEW YORK, Oct. 28.-Governor
Cleveland arrived at the Hoffman
house from Newark at one o'clock this
morning. He was accompanied by
his secretary. The governor retired
at once.
