NEW YORK, Nov. Slower Broad
way was thronged with people this att
ernoon to witness the start of the Re-
publican parade of business men. The
weather was much the same as that OF
last Saturday, when the Democratic
business men paraded. The rain came
pouring down steadily from out OF
leaden skies, but this did not seem in
any way to dampen the ardor OF the
paraders. Inspector Williams was pres
ent in command of large force of police
in lower Broadway to start the process
sion and keep pathway cleared forlts-
course. Promptly at o'clock the pro-
cession moved, with Grand Marshal G.
B. Mitchell at its head. Ten mounted
police officers cleared the way. The
grand marshal and his aides, all
mounted, followed. The rain continued,
and with the mud Oh the streets, walk
ing was laborious. The American flag
was Omnipresent in the ranks of
the paraders and on the buildings and
windows along the route of the process
sion. Multitudes of people thronged the
route. Crowds of sight-seers stood on
roofs, in windows and doorways and
cheered the different organizations as
they passed, and the paraders fire.
quently joined in. Many of the parad-
ers were on horseback, men whom no.
body ever saw astride of horse before.
Among them were such Well-knOWn
husineSS men as G.. B. Mitchell. c., B.
WatrouS, W. f. Schaeffer Joseph MI.
HaZeltine and F. B. Ritch. AT the head
of the procession was line of police
men who served to keep the crowd back
from the street and permit the paraders
to march without being iIupeded. Then
came the marshal and aides, and imme-
diately behind him came a string of
twelve horses in double line drawing a
truck bearing the model of a steamship.
The vessel was intended to
REPRESENT THE DOLPHIN
which was at first declared to be unsc-
ceptable to the government, but is now
considered one of the best vessels in the
navy for coast defense. Alongside the
model were seventy-five men in sea-
mems uniform. They came from the
docks of the Wards line of West India
steamships. and carried banner in
Scribed:
The Democrats killed John Roach, but his
spirit goes marching on.
One of the most striking and unique
features of the parade was the appear
ance presented by the Americus club of
Pittsburg. There were 275 men in line,
headed by the G. A. r. band of thirty
pieces, of that city, and each man paid
his own expenses. The men wore tweed
suits and white hats, and each carried
an umbrella, around the outside of
which was the stars, while the ribs were
alternately red, white and blue, thus
making the national flag. When they
wheeled out of Liberty street to take
Philadelphia clubs, they were preceded
bv a standard inscribed: "Pennsylvania
is at your back" At a given signal the,
umbrellas were raised and opened, ere
ating decided sensation. The strangers
were cheered necessarily as they passed
along Broadway. Then followed the
following organizations in the order
named:

were silenced. Here and there in the
