The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1888-11-04

make night hideous. Hundreds OF mid
die aged men, TO say nothing OF the boys,
were necessarily blowing shrill campaign
whistles. So far rs can be learned at a late
hour, tho double demonstration passed oil
without trouble or casualties, Accord
ing TO program the Republican column
moved away first. II was 8 o'clock
when the head OF the column marching
west on Washington, turned north into
Pennsylvania avenue. From thence the
line was west on Ohio, up Meridian as far
as North street, then by countermarch to
the circle, into Market, thence to Illinois,
where they disbanded. Naturally the
largest crowds 10 witness the Republican
parade were congregated on Pennsylvania
avenue and Ohio street, around the New
Denison. The streets In this vicinity were
packed solid TO the car track, which was
left open for the column TO pass. A few
minutes before 8 O'Clock Gen. Harrison,
accompanied by his son Russell, arrived at
the headquarters, and the General re-
viewed the procession from the balcony,
surrounded by 100 or more ladies'
and gentlemen. When the grand marshal
and his staff Of hfty-two mounted aids
reached the review balcony, they halted
and saluted the General, VINO stood with
barred head, repeatedly bowling.
The pressing crowds moved back TO per-
nit the big Harrison and Morton Cumber-
land ball TO roll by, midst dcafcning cheers.
As the great sphere, which had travelled
30 far, arrived opposite Gen. Harrison, II
stopped rs though 10 salute, and the Gem
eral uncovered The ball was escorted
by lGS torch bearers. Perhaps the finest
display in the Republican procession was
made by the Railroad Club and the Porter
Columbian Club. The railroad men all
carried lanterns and fired Roman candles,
but II was their big, realistic locomotive,
drawn by six horses, that captured the
crowd. The Porter Columbinns numbered
i20, carrying long poles with illuminated
balloons
Among the other leading organizations
wero tho Umbrella Brigade, the Car
works Club, Wanamakcr Escort, the Tile
Workers and the Irish Club. Altogether
there were forty one clubs In line, num-
bering by actual count, 400 men. The
Republicans had but half dozen bands
and these they were compelled 10 send for
10 the country and bring in, rs the Demo
Gratis got ahead OF them and hired every
band In the city. Tho column was one
hour and twenty minutes passing the re-
view balcony.
At the conclusion OF the parade Gen.
Harrison was presented large glass globe,
nineteen Inches in diameter and thirty
six inches high, 10y Frank Skunk, an EN-
ployo Of Overs glasswOrks at Muncc; also
two handsome glass canes. Skunk stated
