Commissioner Coleman, William z.
Mitchell occupying the seventh car
rage. The other carriages, about
forty in number, were occupied
by representatives of Democratic
clubs, German organizations, the stock
produce and other down town eX-
changes. The procession of carriages,
followed by running crowd of pedes-
TRANS, moved at quick pace
through Desbrosses street to Hud-
son. up Hudson to Clarkson, through
ClarksOn to NFcDougall, up McDougall
to Washington square, thence north to
Fifth avenue, up Fifth avenue to Twen-
ty-ninth street, through Twenty-ninth
street to Broadway, and down Broad
way to the Twenty-third street entrance
to the Fifth Avenue hotel, where the
judge and his escort alighted. The
sidewalks of DeSbrOSses and Hudson
streets were lined with men, women
and children who cheered the old
Roman, and waved hats and
bandanas over their heads.
Doors, windows and hOusetopS
were crowded with people, and con-
spicuOus feature of the demonstration
was the frequent decoration of house
fronts with bandanaS and flags. one
merchant had about twenty feet of
bandanas strung along the front OF
the awning over the entrance to
his stores. Large flags bearing the
name of Cleveland and Thurman were
suspended from windows and private
houses. Groups of pretty girls held
large portraits of Thurman at the sillS
of second story window while the
procession was passing through
ClarkSon street, fire engine summoned
to fire stopped on the roadway of the
engine house to let the carriages pass.
The windows and doors of factories ana
workshops along McDOugall street were
crowded with w0rklngmen III their
shirt sleeves, some With their faces aud
arms grimy with the smoke OF the
forge, who had paused i'll their work 10
see the old Roman and cheer
him as he went by. The inter-
secting streets were blocked on either
side with trucks and other vehicles upon
which people of all conditions perched
to get an unobstructed view OF the grand
old man. The scenes along Fifth ave-
nue. from Washington square to
Twentieth street were but
repetition of those in the lower
part of the city, except that the
spectators wore more fashionable cloth
ing. At Fourteenth street there was
great crowd of ladies who smiled and
WAVED THEIR HANDKERCHlEFS
vigorously. The porches of the Man.
haitian club at Fifteenth and Fifth ave-
nue. were crowded with club members
and walters packed together III truly
democratic style, and several
of the former waved handker-
chiefs with great vigOr. Even the
stCop of the Republican headquarters at
81 Fifth avenue was crowded with at
taches of the committee who could not
resist the temptation to get a good look
at the next vice president. Twenty
third street and Madison square
in front of the Fifth Avenue
hotel were crowded with people to far
greater degree than on the occasion OF
Blaine's reception a few weeks ago.
But the most reSplendent building
anywhere on the line was the
headquarters of the national
Democratic committee in West twenty
ninth street. Flags and bandanas
fioated from every window and over
them peered closely packed arrays OF
eager. smiling faces. The stOop and
doorway alone had over 100 men
and women on it, The Old
Romans carriage stopped minute or
two before the building, when the crowd
cheered and took a good look at him.
Then they moved on and rolled rapidly
to the Fifth avenue hotel.
To-day preparations were completed
at the Fifth Avenue hotel for the recep-
ton of Judge Thurman. Mr.. Hitch
cock. the principal proprietor OF the
hotel, had personally supervised
the work of getting the , room
to be occupied by Judge Thur
Chief Baggage Smasher LoveJoy,
Blaine's great personal Fifth Avenue
hotel friend, decorate the hotel with
American flags. He also ordered him to
see that the employees gave Judge Thur
man an enthusiastic reception
and that every attention was paid
to his comfort. This timely hint was
not out of place in view of the fact that
the Fifth Avenue hotel is the head
quarters for the Republican state COM
mittee. 1t worked to a charm, and
Judge Thurman was received as enthusl-
astically as would nave been Mr.. Blaine,
At 80 the carriage containing Judge
