poor eyes. Yesterday particularly gave
evidence that the people, acting spOntln'-

The Word ssys: Yesterdays parade OF
tine businessmen OF the city who favor the
election Of Cleveland and IIcndrick, was
such a spectacle a, New York has never b.
fore witnessed ln this or any other cam
paign.
The campaign /, nov practically over.
and the truth may rs well bee admitted. I'm

OF enthusiasm 1t utterly dwaricd both tn
Gr,t Cleveland parade and the Blaine pa

Every feature Of trade. commerce, and
finance was a. be seen IN the magnificent
array. Interests embracing thousands ot
millions of dollars were represented. TIc
oldos; and most hOnOred me- chant, OF TIE
METROPOLIS hOnOTcd the demonstration by
their presence. Lifelong Republican"

their confidence in the safety and c0nsrr-

The great demonstration, 10y lar the
largest and most extraordinary ever made
in the daytime in this or any other clty.
ha> deep and powerful meaning which i
full OF hope and encouragement Tor the
republic.
It means that the people. rcSardle>, oi
party, ,tIll love honesty and hate corrup-
ton.
II was an uprising Of the people against
the new confederate, who threaten to de-
,uoy the republic through fraud and
bribery.
What a pity 1t i that parli-ln feeling
cannot be- forgotten in the face 81 such
patriotic demonstration, and that all par
tie, cannot be induced 10 recognize it,
significance - the commencement OF bet
ter era both in political and business life.
An honor snd glory to the honest pl-
