B
political procession ever seen in New York
has teen passing Fifth Avenue hotel for
j. G. BLAINE.
Benjamin Harrison: Never in forty years
have l seen such an immense crowd of bust
Ness men in procession as to-day. COngratu-
lationS HENRY c. Bowen.
AT the conclusion of the parade Gen.
Harrison was presented with large
glass globe, nineteen inches in diameter
and thirty-six inches high, by Frank
Skunk, an employe of Overs Glass
works at Muncie, also two handsome
glass canes. Skunk stated that he
made the articles himself this morning.
The Democratic demonstration was
equally as creditable as the
Republican. 1t was shortly after
s O'Clock when the booming cannon
announced that the Democratic host
was under weigh. Moving up Indiana
street; thence west on Washington to
West street, countermarching OH Wash
ington to Noble, again by counter
marching to Pennsylvania and north to
Market. Around the Grand hotel, on
Illinois street. the jam was a great as
on Pennsylvania avenue and enthusi-
asm ran very high. 1t seems the popu-
latlon or the city, as by common I'M
pulse, observed
THE DIVISION OF TERRITORY
set aside to each procession by the au
tEOritieS and the friends of each side
massed themselves along their respect
i've lines of march. Thus it happened
that While the thousands around the
Grand hotel all cheered Justify for
Cleveland and Thurman no dlscordant
cheer disturbed the masses about the
New Denison. Only big bandana
floated from one of the upper windows
OF the Republican hotel, silently telling
that at least one guest was Democrat.
From the balcony of the Grand hotel
Chairman Jewett and number of other
distinguished Democrats reviewed the
passing host. The column was com-
posed of five divisions, under the CON-
mand OF Chief Marshal Robbins. From
the balconies along the route red fire
illuminated the streets until from a
distant house top it looked, when both
the city was on fire in a hun
dred places. To this brilliant lIlumin-
alton, assisted by natural gas, add
the thousands of Kissing rockets, the
rattle of the distant cannon, the thous-
ands of moving torches and the roar of
two marching armies. and the reader
gets glimpse of indianapolis and the
tumult of the night. AT the head of the
Democratic column was the Old Mems
Democratic club. They preceded even
the chief marshal. Including
the township clubs, there were
about sixty different organiza-
tions represented in the Democratic
column. including an unusually large
number OF mounted men. The Demo-
cratic Railroad club made fine dis
play. numbering about 500, with laii
terms and torches. The Business Mems
club carried unique lanterns of red,
white and blue. The Frances
CLEVELAND CLUB OF LADIES
from lndianola, was one of the features
of the parade. Good music and bands
without number filled the Democratic
columns, making it one of the most sue
cessful demonstrations of the campaign.
The Democratic column moved with
alacrity, and occupied one hour and ten
minutes in passing. 1t is claimed in
some quarters they had more
men in line than the Republicans.
1t is noticeable that these
demonstrations early in the campaign,
were currently estimated and stated at
from 5000 to 12.000, but when party
jealousy began to grow and actual
counts were introduced, the columns of
both sides dwindled to about 5000
voters. The managers OF both demon
strations profess great satisfaction at
the result, and the Indiana campaign
thus closes at midnight in a blaze of
