The Great Parade.

ST. LOUIS, June 6.-The parade of the
local and visiting clubs and delegations

more than q score of bands furnished the
music. There were seven divisions, and
while all the visitors were heartily
cheered, the marching of the Cook County
and Iroquois clubs, of Chicagot Tammany
and the County Democrats, Of Flew York;
the Hyde Park Club of Pullman, Ill.,; the
Randall clubs Of Pittsburgh and Phila.
delphia; the Duckworths Of Cincinnati,
and the Hendricks Club of Indianapolis,
gained for themselves special and enthu-
siastic recognition.

How Cleveland Received the News.

WASHINGTON, June THE news of the
Presidents denomination was received at
the White House over special wire, and
Immediately conveyed to the President by
Colonel Lamont. The former was in the
library alone at the time, and made no re-
mark when informed that he had been re-
nominated. About two hundred people
were in the East room waiting a chance
to shake hands with the President, and by
the time he came down stairs news of the
denomination had spread among them.
Nearly every person that attended the re-
ception congratulated the President, when
they shook hands with him, upon his re-
nomination, and when one old gentleman
who had not heard the news, hoped the
President would be renominated, the lat
ter replied, with laugh, 81 have been,
sir; I have been". After the reception
the President took lunch and then went
back to his desk in the library.

Bill Arp, writing to the Atlanta Con- stitution, says "The wheel is right big thing just now in Arkansas, and has it's organization and it's organ in every county. It is something like the old Georgia grange, or may be like the farmers, alliance, and of course, is run ming into politics. There never was an association of farmers that was not broken up by political aspirants. The average farmer is easily fooled, and is SO unsuspecting he is drawn into the political net before he knows it. An old solid wheeler who thought he saw deliverance near at hand asked me how the wheel" was doing in Georgia, "Ah, my friend,n said I, we have had that disease and have got well of it. We did not call it the wheel, but it was the same thing under another name. The farm CTS have these epidemics, just like chill dren have to have the measles or whooping-cough, but they soon will be we'll of it. It never kills anybody. Your people in Arkansas are little behind. but the wheel will soon roll away and leave you about as well of as it found you. In some portions of your state l notice that the wheelers are already conyalescing. The skin is peeling off and the scales are falling from their eyes. There is the grange and the alliance and wheel that. like the old know-nothirg party, all die of the same thing.

THE people are gradually opening their eyes to what is being doae under the present independent state of affairs, in this county. They have been given a pill which is tov large for the swallow ing apparatus, and the time will soon come, if it is not already here, when every man who has made himself con- spicuous as disorganizer or who has used his influence to further the schemes of the ring of ofiice-seekers will drop his head in shame and keenly feel the personal and political disgrace he has brought upon himself, and en- deayored to bring upon the party. His only hope will then be in the death of the Republican party. Friends take the advice of friend to good honest government, come back to your party which above all others, is laboring for equal and exact justice to all men, of whatever state or persuasion, religious or political, and have nothing to dc with the men who would turn over the reigns of government to that power with which some of you got very well acquainted during the days of recon struction.
