and citizens on foot and in carriages, will
makeup the procession.

number who would be in the procession
was between 10000 and 10000. That
was given by Oliver Summer Teall, who
is secretary TO the Grand Marshall, Gen.
cral Joseph G. Jackson. Henry NJ.
Wynkoop thought the reports already
received assured the presence OF 25,OOO
men. Vice President James A. Blanch-
ard, OF the National League Of Republi-
can Clubs, thought 10000 or $4,000 an
almost large enough estimate. "lf we
have 1000 men in line it will do very

reception will be satisfied"
THE LIST NOT COMPLETE.
Among the applications received from
