We had matters been c0nelueieu anu oe
tails looked after.
Thstesdquarters of Marshal Miller and
the general staff was on Fourteenth street,
between Market and Chapline streets, and
from that central point aids, under the
control of Adjutant Franzheim and Chief
of Staff Wilson, were constantly galloping
t, and fro, receiving out-of-town clubs at
the various depots, tie wharf, etc, and
conducting them to the Localities dts'g-
mated for them. The Division Marshais
were with their several commands, Col.
A J. Sweeney, Of the Second Division, be-
ing at the corner Of Fourteenth and
Market streets, Marshal Egerter, OF
the Third Division, at Mar
KIT and Fourteenth srsets,
Msior J. C. Aldersoa at Eoff and Fonr-
teenth ttr,ets, ard Mar hsl Robertson at
Sixteenth and Chapline streets. Each CT
these officers was assisted in the msnage-
ment of tie several organizations making
up their divisions by staff of five aide,
and we'll vas tie duty performed.
Lorg before 10 o'clock the streets began
to fill up witbtp ,ctatora in the vicinity OF
Sixteenth and Market, Sixteenth and
Chspline, sni Fourteenth ard EFF, aIo1nd
which the clubs were rsndezSousing
anxious to fes all that was goicg on. As
club after dab, whether the city o:gan'zl-
tions or those from Gu. Of town, filed past,
they were uniformly received with
cheers, and as Tie resalipg uproar only
served to sttrs ct still ether spectator, it
was not long until the POINTS named were
almost impossible, and police officers had
10 be de allied in several instances to kesp
pa ssage way open. With all the pre-
cautions possible, there were numerous
narrow escapes from accidents wfen teams
CT mounted Ulcers came along, but thanks
to an over ruling Providence, there was not
an accident during the entire day.
At clever O'Clock the clubs were well in
line, with thu exception of Lottion of the
Pittsburgh contingent, but these were re-
ported clt sc at hand and coming as fast
as the B. & o. locomotives could bring
them, and every body settled down to
await their arrival. Abouta quarter after
eleven the last train came down Sixteenth
street and coon the solid ranks of the Ran
dali Club were forcing their way through
! the multitude on tt streets to take their
place in line The arrival of this club put
the finishing touch upon tie column, and
IT II 80, as has betn said, the column
moved.
As Marshal Miller and his splendidly
mounted staff turned the corner into Mar
ket street, murmur of admiration ran
through tn, solid mas, Of people awaiting
their arrival. AS the long lines of the
Young M'n's Democratic Club, brilliant
black in their shiny Prircs Albert ctats,
and pped cut with tho bright red Of their
nobhy bardana umbrt llas, went pest, the
murrur swelled into O shout of admirs-
on, which followed the magnificent or
lsniz ,tion along the entire line of march.
TIE club made suTeb appearance, and
the m mb.rs were msda tie subject Of
ain iring remarks during the remainder
of the day. o. truth, this sturdy organi.
cation never looked so well, aud every
citizen is proud of them. They would do
themselves and Wheeling credit in any
city of the country, and in contrast with
any similar political organization.
The famous Great Western band of
Pittsburg, followed the Y. NJ. D. C, end
after them strobe the Allegheny County
Democratic Association, co up ,sed Of
e-al crack bodies of men. They were
headed by gigantic rociter, truly
handsome bird, WHO looked not only as
though hs had been well fed during the
past four years, but had sighted a glor:o1s
victory for The coming week.
The familiar and handsome uniforms Of
the Kenra club, came next, with the fire
diu n corps belonging to the orgaDiz alton.
snd then followed club after club, until
the end Of the fret division was reached,
with its to al Of over six hundred msn.
TIE Cathedral band, Of PittsHurg, which |
ahares with the Great Western tee musical
honors of that city, marched ct the
head Of the S:c2nd division, and was
followed by the Samuel J. Randall club Of
Pitt:burg. The Rem 1allites parade lsb nut
225 msp, and were complimented rightand |
left for their fine appearance and good !
marching. After them came the city Or
gsnjz ,tions, all paradiDg with full ranks
snd mar hing in splendid style. Some of
the turnouts we're very large, notably that !
from the Sixth ward. The Ea3t End |
Democratic Club and the Fifth and Sixth ,
Wsrd Democratic club of Pittsturg, el.o
had place ia tie c,lumu at this point,
and tramped along with the stesdiness CT
veterans. The membership of thee cubs
YVES made Of solid looking young men, and
their broad shoulders and wejl.develolel |
muscles reminded the beheldeI of nothing
so much az cont olidatiod of Coz 81 crack
b SO bill clubs.
Tbs other divisions wtre entirely in
keeping with the two Jus; ment ioned.
Every cub was present. with fall ranks,
and tie members marched as though they
had realizing sens, OF tae fact that they
were en- dress parade. The Fourth D.vis-
ion, composed sl:ogether Of cavalry, YVES
surprisingly big, Richland district had
mtrs tdan half its voting population
there, and TrisdelpAis and LIB rty vera
we'll repre- ssnte1, while the al dining pun
ties had dozers and scores cf repressnx-
tives. The fifth division was made up of
abcut one huniIed wagons and carriages,
containing an average of about five pc, sons
each, and stretched out for about three
squares
The column was in all considerably over
q mile in length. When the rear of the
last division was leaving the Opara House
corner, the head of the procession was at
the Market street bridge crossing to the
South Side, the line thus reaching from
Fourteenth street up Market 10 Seventh,
west on Seventh to Mair, south On Main
to Fourteenth, east on Fourteenth to Mar
ket, and south on Market 10 Seventeenth,
or a distance of twenty-one squares.
All slnng this route the streets were
lined with spectators, in soma PLACES af-
tording exceptional opportunity for view
