Cleveland and Hendricks parade yesterday
was, in one sense, the most imposing polit-
ical demonstration ever seen in this city.
Three miles of marching men, representing
$4,000 merchants, from the best business
houses in the country. 1t was impossible to
look at any one of the thirty regiments and
not recognize in them the cool headed buSi-
ness men Of America. The great majority
OF those in line had never before marched
in political parade, and may never march
In another.
The earnest desire to protest against the
election of dishonest president led a score
OF miliionaires to march three miles over the
rough stone pavements. 1t was the first
time that many of them had ever walked so
far The 1900 members of the New York
produce exchange were ranged in front Of
their building at the foot of Broadway at 80
O'Clock, when Grand Marshal Gen. J. B.
Woodward, gave the order to march to f. D.
Neustadt the marshal of the produce regi-
ment. The long cheers were drowned by
the Seventh Regiment band, and
to the music the procession began
to move. squad of mounted police cleared
tine way through the dense crowds that packed
lower Broadway. and shoulder to shoulder,in
long rows of sixteen each, the line of march
was taken up. Marshal Neustadt and special
aid, Y. Lesser, were escorted by the executive
committee of the Produce and Maritime Mer
chants club. The company was fine look
ing body Of middle aged men, with here and
there n gray bearded veteran who scOrned to
take a carriage in the procession. All car
ried canes. wore Cleveland and Hendricks
badges, and most Of them had on silk hats.
The company just back of them was not
silk hat brigade. It was the Canal Boatmens
club. under Marshal James Wallace, and the
100 men in line made the air ring with their
campaign cry of
'Burn, Burn, Burn this Lctter!''
The head of the procession had reached
the postolfice before any of the organizations
waiting on the side streets were given a
chance to fall in. Nearly every one of the
business streets running into Broadway were
swarming with gentlemauly paraders drawn
up in line, and anxious to get place in the
uain body.
The Columbia college graduates and stu
acnts club fell in with 400 members, and
the old college yell. There was a profes-
sional air about the collegiate brigade, and
as they passed the lawyers offices opposite
the city hail park, they received quite au
ovation from their legal brethren gathered
there. The Columbia badge was crimson
and old gold, and their canes were all alike.
The Stock Exchange club formed on Broad
street, and secured position in the line SIS
the procession swept by Wall street Marshal
F. NJ Knox kept the men in line with his
sharp eye for stragglers, and no club pre-
sentcd a better appearance than did these
gentlemen from the stock exchange. There
were more silk hats among this company.
The kid gloves were of just the right shade,
and their clothing of the most fashionable
rut. All along the line the red badges of
Abe Wall street magnates were cheered again
and again. The very best elements of the
exchange were represented.
There were many old men who had never
taken a more active part in politics
than to draw a check tC
help the party. The marching
cry was of their own device, consisting OF
quotation from Mr. Blaine's general cor
respoudence, and, as roared by several hun
bred throats, it sounded like
Regards, regards. regards to Mrs
Fisherr'
The Independents in their battle cry
asked:
who killed Arthur"
