THE NIGHT DEMONSTRATION.
A Great TOrehlight Pr~ocession-The Sere-
made at the Denison.
Night was what the populace was waiting for.
'By some prophetic feeling taught" they OWNED
that the evening display would be superior to
that of the day, and those who had time to see
but one of the parades chose the latter one.
Very early they began TO come, in order to Sc
cure possession of the best points of view that
are available TO the public at large This idea
seemed to have occurred to everyone, for long
before the procession moved the streets were
crowded all along the line of march. Pennsyl-
vania street, also, was well filed from Ohio to
Washington, where several bands were playing
and clubs were moving to and fro, preparing for
the start. The noise was overwhelming, and,
for the time being, was produced almost wholly
by the tin horn. This instrument has caught
on. 1t is to be regretted, but it is true. What
is worse, it appears to have come to stay. 1t
varies in tone from the i~nfantile squeak to the
coup de calliopo. No single human voice could
compete with the hcrners h%orning on their
horns. The voice of the peanut man who was
trying to explain that his wares were only five
cents the quart, was drowned completely. Tho
gentleman who was supplying the market with
Blaine and Logan handkerchiefs, at a distance
of ten feet, presented the appearance of a deaf
and dumb man attempting to signal a MAJ bull
And yet the crowd was good-humored and Jolly.
Such is the power Of political enthusiasm.
The evening parade presented the finest spec
tacle that has been seen during the present cam
palgn. The usual policy of parade managers is
to string the procession out as much as possible,
anA Vvhaw ~ l. 0paa nt1r IF eioht of apu pninf an
keep it out of sight. This not only destroys the
effect on the spectator. but debars those who
take part from seeing anything outside of their
immediate surroundings. Last night this order
was changed. After the head of the column
had reached Tennessee street the line halted.
Enthusiasm had now got up to the point where
no one was happy unless he made
a noise, and the cheering drowned
the noise of the horns. The young
gentlemen of the Morton Club exercised their
lungs with vigor. 1t was their night to bowl
In a few minutes the line opened, and down
through the center came the second division of
the procession from Tennessee street. With
this was the carriage conveying General Logan.
1t was preceded by two or three campaign clubs,
notably a well-trained one with flash torches,
and followed by a long line of cavalry. AS the
cavalry passed, the clubs which were halted in
open order, fell in and coupternarched to the
Denison, where they dispersed.
The passage of General Logan through the
lines was the browning point OF it all Torches
fared, bats waved, handkerchief huttered,
and men shouted themselves hoarse while
the "War Eagle" courteously bowed his aekowl-
edgement of the honors done him. The long
line filed back between the two lines of fire and
passed out of sight. But the peoph had not
seen enough and so they followed and crowded
about the hotel till Logan came out and spoke to
them. Then they began to go but it was not
until bands had played themselves out and glee
clubs had sung themselves hoarse, that the
crowd finally broke up and moved away. The

peace the coming of the day when they should
cast their votes,
