New YORK. Nov. 3.-The Republican
parade this afternoon was far inferior
parade to that of the Democrats last
Saturday. 1t was not a New York busi-
ness mems parade. The ranks of the
clubs were swollen by hired paraders,
many of them under age. With the con-
solidated exchanges delegation scat
tered there was body OF 500 strangers.
Mr.. E. Lamb, prominent member of
the exchange, approached them during
q halt and said to one of them:
'1 don't remember you on Change.
Who are you and where are you frOm?''
"Oh," he said, II am from Pittsburg;
there are whole lot of us here" This
fraud upon the membership Of the COM
mercial institutions will be resented at
the polls, and proper steps will be taken
to denounce and expose it on Monday.
The Republicans show took one
hour and twenty-five minutes pre-
cisely to pass the reviewing
stand, while the passage of the Demo-
cratic parade in the dreadful rain of
last Saturday occupied two hours and
twenty-five minutes. The contrast pre-
sented by this Falstaffian array with the
demonstration of last Saturday was
very marked. A week ago there was
no one permitted in the ranks except
members i'll good standing of the body
to which the club belonged. The pa
raiders were all SOLD citizens of this
town, and represented the true
SENTIMENT OF THE METROPOLIS.
This afternoon not only were i'm
ported delegations paraded, but long
shoremen, coal beavers and dock men
were pressed into the ranks by promise
of full days extra pay for the after
noon walk. In fact, it was as much a
demonstration of bought paraders as
ing bill boards. The march was COM
paratively spiritless. Ali along
the route the loudest cries were
the Democratic cheers OF the bystanders
for Cleveland, and sarcastic obSefya-
tions on the Republican motley display.
But the afternoon show will cut but a
small figure in the days history. It was
completely outshone by the magnificent
demonstration of tonight, which eX-
ceeded it not only in brilliancy, but in
numbers. The demonstration of last
Saturday took more than double the
time to pass a given point, while
all along the line of march the streets
were lined with Democratic torch-b ear
ers. The business mems organization
and the assembly district organizations
of Tammany Hall. The county Dem
ocracy with other clubs swelled the

as reserved ground for the great Demo-
cratic parade, and no Republican clubs
or organizations were allowed to move
inside these limits. The procession
moved at 9 o'clock p. m., the start
having been delayed by the long
day procession of the Republicans, and
the entire route was Illuminated by fire
works, colored lights and all sorts of
pyrotechnic displays. Private resi-
dences, hotels, club houses and. public
buildings along the line of march were
illuminated and beautifully decorated.
NIGHT WAS TURNED INTO DAY.
Everywhere were electric lights, cal
cium lights, illuminated windows and
thousands upon thousands of torch
headquarters on Twenty-ninth street,
was splendidly illuminated on it's exte-
rior with scores of huge electric lights.
Within, red, white and blue
globes presented very picturesque
effect. The Democratic state head
quarters was also illuminated. The
streets were packed with spectators,
and the prodegious length of the line
found many of the clubs still marching
as daybreak of Sunday approached.
The Philadelphia visitors came in spe-
cial trains and were Hospitality
received. After the march the
lanterns and torches were stored
at various local Democratic headquar-
ters, and they were treated to refresh
ments. The visitors will not return
home until Sunday afternoon. Nearly
a million spectators saw the magnificent
procession. 1t was night of nights.
Democratic enthusiasm was everywhere.
Two enormous fag-draped stands were
in Madison square. On the western
one were hundreds of ladies. On the
reviewing stand on the east side. from
which President Cleveland reviewed
the procession last Saturday, Gov. Hill
reviewed the procession tonight. He
was surrounded by his military staff and
the members of the national Democratic
and state committees. AS each pla-
toon passed the reviewing stands
hats were removed. and Gov. Hill, who
is to be reelected on Tuesday by
humping majority. was enthusiastic
ally cheered throughout the extreme
length of the procession, which was
marching from s p. m. until daylight.
