march up Broadway without gaining any
additions till it arrived at Wall street, when
it was Joined by the shipping and commission
merchants, numbering over twenty-six hun
dred stalwart stevedores 10 their working
jackets, together with a body of 400
'longshoremen. This branch of the parade
was headed by the Ninth Regiment band.
Three-ffths of the members Of this club
are Republicans. At Liberty street large
and magnificent banner bearing the
PORTRAIT OF CLEVELAND AND HENDRICKS
WAS unfurled by Republicans as token of
encouragement 70 those paradng: The
cheers at this time were deafening aud
rose in one continuous swell from that point
to Madison Square. At Maiden lane the
jewellers Cleveland Association, 500 strong,
and the leaf tobacco dealers, fell into line;
at Dey street the mechanics and traders,
and the building exchanges, numbering
GAO men, joined the procession; at Chambers
street the West Side merchants club $50
men, and the Hardware Merchants Associ-
ation fell into line with $40 men; at Worth
street and adjacent streets overfowing with
enthusiasm, were fifteen thousand men
who had stood An hour waiting for
the procession to arrive; these men were
the members of the Cleveland Wholesale
Dry Goods Club. Fully 81 percent of them
we're Republicans.
This immense body was divided up into
several divisions each headed by band.
II. B. Ciaflin had expected to march with
the Cleveland men from his store, but being
suddenly called out of town, Mr.. Van
Vakenburg took his place. AT Fourteenth
street the last addition to the parade was
made by the Retail Dry Goods Association,
numbering LAO men. This club was not
canvassed but some Of its members stated
| that over half of them voted for Garfield
in 1880. The procession from first to last
was an imposing one-all the men in line
wore Cleveland and Hendricks badges
of various designs and carried light bam-
boo canes at shoulder arms. AS the line
passed up Broadway it was met by con.
tinuous ovation. The various clubs pa
raded in files of thirteen abreast averaging
| five feet apart, and marched at the rate of
three miles an hour. At l4th street and
Union Square, the crowd was so dense that
it was delayed twenty minutes while the
police opened passage way. The enthu-
siasm here was of the widest description
and was q continuous cheer which was
taken up and passed along the line for
blocks. In front Of the Worth monument
at 25th street reviewing stand had been
erected which was filed with many of
NEW YoRK's MOST DISTINGUISHED CITIZENS.
At this point the scepe was simply inde
scribable, and will live long in the memo
ries of those who witnessed it. The line
passed before the stands in martial order.
During the entire line of march the par
ticipators in the parade had at times assist
ed the bands and at others drowned them
out by singing in marching time, "Hang,
hang, hang jim Blaine" varied by "Left,
left, Jim Blaipe's left" Various portions
of the procession, just before reaching the
reviewing stand, stuck on their canes large
pieces of paper, and as they passed the
stand they set them on fire as token Of
their appreciation of Jim Blaine's wisdom
in destroying documentary evidence. The
head Of the procession reached the re-
viewing stan Is at Ais marching at rapid
pace and it was @ o'clock before the last
division passed. A close estimate showed
that $4,000 men were in line, every one
of whom are voters and $4,000 had voted
for Garfield in 1880. From The reviewing
stand at 25th street the march contn-
ued to 30th street, where they dlsbanded.
In front of headquarters Of the Republican
national committee rooms at 242 Fifth
avenue the procession were treated to an
ovation of Kisses by band of hundred
toughs, said to have been hired for the pur-
pose. The paraders passed by without no.
tciDg the insult except by drowning the
hsses with cheers for Cleveland. Some Of
the younger men, however, after the dis
banding, took their revenge by gathering
in front Of Blaines committee rooms and
amusing themselves by burning papers or
the end Of their sticks. J. b.. p.
