CLEVELAND REVIEWS THE PROCESSION.
GOV. Cleveland stood for over three
hours on the reviewing stand next to the
Worth monument, under a canopy of pur-
pie velvet, tringed with gold, upon each
side of whose corners was golden eagle.
When he took his position, soon after
O'Clock. Madison square before him was
packed with people. The grand stand on
the opposite side of Fifth avenue held at
least 1000 ladies, with their escorts. The
grand stand was neatly decorated with
flags and banners. The roar of murmurs
announced the coming of the pro-
cessiOn before Gilmore's band, play
ing lively air, was heard.
As Gen. J. B. Woodward. the Grand Mar
shall, lifted his hat TO the Governor and
the latter returned his salute, the crowd
gave a cheer that might have been heard
in New Jersey. The police had much
trouble in keeping the street clear at first,
but finally made an uninterrupted pass
age. The wholesale dry goods men formed
the first section. They numbered 1850
men, with the inscription: "All for
Cleveland; even the elements are with
u.s." This caused laugh at the expense
of the Republican paraders in the rain OF
last night. ''Any rain but the reign of
monopoly" was upon another banner,
that had evidently been prepared in an
ticipatiOn of a continuance of the weather
OF the preceding days of the week.
GROWING ALREADY.
In the central division of the dry goods
men maTchers carried miniature rOOsters
on the tops of their hats. On a big sheet
OF canvass was picture of a tombstone
with Inscription: "Here lies (and he al
y
ically Nov. 4, 1884" Following the dry
goods trade came the wholesale clOthiers,
400 strong, and the carpet trade with ,25O
men. In the section composed of the hat
trade and flower and feather workers
paraders canes were hung with foxes
tails. A big Buffalo head was borne by
four men.
The photographers and furniture men
came next and the Stock Exchange Club
next, carrying crimson and gold ban
ner. The ladies on the grand stand COM
plimented the brokers on their fine APP
pearance, waved their handkerchiefs, and
cheered as loudly as they could. Burn,
burn, burn this letterr' was the cry of
the Wall street men. The hardware dele
cation carried Cleveland canes. A signi-
ficant emblem of theirs was mammoth
paddock and key. On the sides OF the
lock was written "PrOtectiOn against
thieves" Gov. Cleveland laughed quite
heartily at this.
THE DEFUNCT NAVY.
In the pottery and glassware section a
team Of horses drew a representation Of
tae TallapOOsa. Sailors stood among the
c)ils of old rope and rotten spars. The
picture caused loud laughter and cheer
ing. The iron and metal men had truck
drawn by four horses, and carrying a
forge and anvil, at which wOrkmen were
engaged in hammering red-hOt iron rods.
Then followed thirty dirt-begrimed work
men, carrying picks and shovels and a
banner inscribed, Hooking valley miners
working for 60 cents per day." The 800
members OF the Cotton Exchange were a
fine looking body of men. They wore
cotton rOsettes tied with ribbons.
The pottery and glassware manufacturers
wore small glass and china mugs. The
Produce and Maritime Exchanges came
next with ,4I6 men, and after them the
drug trade. The latter advertised several
new patent medicines, such as "Beecher's
Oil of JOY TOR Loss of Memory" ''Tall
Tower Soothing Syrup" and jay Gould's
Campaign Soap Liniment." The printers
and publishers made good display.
Several schools connected with Columbia
College were represented by 400 yelling
students. II was dark when the jewelers.
reached the square. AS they moved up
to the Governor they set fire 10 piece of
paper and shouted, "Burn, burn, burn
this letter."
ITO THE WINDWARD."
The paper trade carried large anchor
with "to the windward" on it. The bar
section numbered nearly 1000, and came
in for its share of admiration and ap-
plause. The insurance men brought up
the rear of the procession at : 40 O'Clock.
The enthusiasm displayed during the en-
tire parade, and all along its line was eX-
traordinary. When Gov. Cleveland went
from the grand stand to his hotel the
crowd raised another shout that lasted
several minutes. The Governor had great
trouble in getting across the street, so
dense was the crowd. A dozen police
men had all they could do TO make room
for him. A careful estimate OF the num-
Der of men in line is 27,000.
