CHICAGO, June 1Sth.-As the last day before
the Convention has progressed the situation has
become more picturesqu-, more noisy and more
dense. The big delegations of whoopers began
to come in with great display and no end of
music The first big demonstration was the ar
rival of the Harrison contingent of Hoosiers.
They made great show as they marched
through the Grand Pacific Hotel from the La
sale and Clark street entrance. Every man
carried a gilt-ornamented picture of Harrison
on six-foot staff, or Il flag in lieu thereof.
They were covered with badges and
decorations. The band played "Tippecanoe
and Tyler too,' and the boys marched with
springing tread through masses of peope e, and
yelling as they went They kept pouring
through as the Indiana boys in 1861 marched to
battle. AS minute after minute passed away
and still never breaking, the column, with
bands and banners, cheering rs they passed
along the people said, Did you leave anybody
at home, boysY' An envious Gresham man set
up the cry that they were dong the stage act
and marching around square, and there was
great howl raised But they were not all
scared, and they marched away up to the
Palmer House to show folks how the old Hooser
State does things.
ALLISON BRIGADE
The next great show was the arrival of the
as that from Indiana. The band played
"Algers Grand March to Victory" aud the
boys stepped forward in fine style. So jolly was
the music that the boys even danced to it, and
crossed over and back, and went through
motions of the Virginia reel while they marched
and yelled for the favorite son of the Wolverine
State.
WALKING sTAR-sPANGLED BANNER.
The Michiganders, aside from their usual
badges and red neckties all had their hats
wound with flags, and the Amt rican flag worn as
scarf draped from the left shoulder. In the
aggregate the Michigan contingent was a walk
ing sarsP4nged ba1neT eI They came in such
and all hands sang danced and cheered.
THE FORAKER CLUBS GET THERE TOO.
When the great Foraker crowd came in there
was tremendous uproar There seemed to be
more curiosity to see Ohio's native young Gov
ernor than any other man, and the rush and jam
was suffocating. AS train load after train load
of Foraker Club men from Ohio arrived they
form ed in solid ranks carrying Zig picture of
Foraker and plenty of banners and small flags
ExcRUuATISG CAMPAIGN MUSIC
The feature of this afternoon was the free-for-
all parade of three glee clubs singing new cam
paign songs and playing new Republican Cam
paign 1oo-whoo." This is the most musically
outrageous instrument that was ever invented
to breed Jim jams and campaign nightmares
The 9 kazoo" OF 1884 was a cooling dove COM
pared with the diabolical too-whoo," and was
not capable of half such meodious discord. A
band wearing plug hats won tremendous evil
dences of appreciation by playing old cavalry
and artillery buge calls, intersper sed with in
iantry calls and the gayest and jolliest of tunes
Every bugle call was recognized in the vast lis
tenlng and applauding crowd, and several
times they broke out with words the soldiers set
to old music. When they played the cavalry
reveille they sang
can't get EN- up, ! can't get 'em up,
L cant get EN- up in the morning,
can't get EN- up, can't get 'em up,
can't get EN- up at all
The Corporafs worse than the private
The Sergeants worse than Corporal
The Lieutenants worse than Sergeant,
And the Captains worse than all.
Every bugle call was applauded until the
call TO Commence firing' was sounded and
that was followed by suggestive silence 1t
carried deep and solemn meaning to many
listeners who had heard it sounded and followed
| by the thunder of guns and the scream of shot
and shell.
These were but few of the scores OF incidents
of the day.
