HOW IT WAS GREETED.
Cheer after cheer came from the crowds
of spectators as the blazing column movet
away, and Justify did the msrchers RESPOND
to the sentiment 'Hurrsh for Cleveland
shouted at them from hundreds OF
throats. The crowd remained solid in tn
~neighborhood of the City Hall and alons
Sixteenth street TO the postofhce, awaiting
the eappeai ance OF the procession c0mint
up Chapline street. When the rear guart
Of horsemen was still passing the Elm
Grove depot, the head of the column came
up Chspline and swung into Sixteenth
street, and passing on into Market street
crossed to the South Side. All along the
lower part of the city, the streets were
crowded with spectators, and the column
was accorded an enthusiastic reception.
Ii was half past nine before the long
route across the creek was traversed, and
the Young Mems Democratic Club, lead
ing the column, again made its appearance
on the Market street bridge. Coming on
up Market street the column was reviewed
by fully five thousand people between
Sixteenth street and Tenth, bat it became
apparent as the various clubs marched
by that they had been shorn of q great
proportion of their original strength
through men dropping ont of the line.
This was an inevitable consequence OF o
route of march much too long, and can
easily be prevented in future by cutting
of o number of squares from the pro-
prsmme as arranged for this occasion.
Still the number Of men who passed the
REGISTER office on their way to the upper
part of the city was not far from sight
hundred, and the column presented a
splendid appearance. 1t was half past ten
before the various organizations concluded
the march, and reached their respective
headquarters, tired and dusty, but proud
Of the magnificent display which they had
made.
1hE
There we're dozens OF transparencies IN
the line, many of them bearing excellent
political sentiments, which awakened en-
thusiasm among the spectators all along
the line of march. Among the sharp
thrusts at the enemy were to be seen the

NOTE OF THE NIGHT.
There were lots of visitors in town.
The Y. II. D. G. never looked better.
The weather could not have been better
Some Of the drum corps were fine organ
izations.
Did you notice the large proportion Of
workingmen in line?
Everybody said that Jim Norman and
his steer took the cake.
Charley Mekhemeller's display of FIRE
works was quite brilliant.
A good many Of the torches went bach
on the boys at critical periods.
The whistling fireworks were q novelty
which mystitied the spectators nightly
Great Scott! How the wage worksr,
turned ont. 1t might be likened to q Ia
Dor procession.
Did You get or to those transpsrencies
The people have got on to the radical lice
in great shape.
How the Free Traden rot and British
gold" blather caught it. They were hit
right between the eyes every time.
Club officers should overhaul their men
about strsying out Of the column, and en-
deavor to enfore better discipline.
There were some former Republicans in
the turnout. They are foppers whom
the I~ateiiseaeer hasn't evidently discov.
cred.
The Nscs Letter had to exhaust its weak
powers 10 belittleing the parade, yet the
Nescs Letter is supposed to be nor par
tisan.
The workmen to Republican Free Trade
yell: "Nat McKay's campaign bugaboo
Is nothing if not q liar or straw-stuffsd
spook."
The whole town 'thuseds The line Of
march was 3 line Of red fire. The process
sion could be traced by the fireworks on
the route.
1t was the peoples procession, sure
enough. There was not much style, but
then tina enthusiasm, go-as-you-plesse sort
of get up made the procesh immense.
Richland district-the farmers district
turned out more than half its Democratic
vote, and yet they say the farmers and
wool growers are opposed to the Mills bill.
The banner committee meets this even
ing at the Office of Sheriff Handlan, to
make the award. Ii seems to be the gen.
eral impression that il lies between Web
ster and Richland districts.
