surges crowd of 8 600 or 1000, while
the corridors OF the Bright House are
jammed. Along Washington and
illinois Streets are gathered large
crowds, shouting and cheering for
General Harrison.
The crowds are naturally of
hilarious and humorous disposition. 1t
is therefore not to be presumed that
any disrespect to the President was in
tended by the roars OF laughter and
cheers that are greeting a wagon now
passing through the streets drag &: ID by
mules. Within is a big coffin; on top of
the coffin sit half a dozen mourners
carrying huge bouquets in their
hands, and as mourners trying
with great lack OF decorum, for
every few moments their feelings
overcome them to such an extent that
they stand up and wave their bouquets.
and then sit down and wipe the mock
tears away with brilliant bandannas.
From the head of the coffin hangs
picture OF President Cleveland. The
eyes of the picture are very black,
while below is the inscription, They
done me up very bad" As the funeral
wagon passed along Pennsylvania Ave-
nue. it was greeted with storms of np-
plause aud the blowing of thousands OF
horns. In the crowds are many men
wearing req roosters on their hats, but
the bird is headless. Another device
for amusing ratifers is pass headed:

The coupon of the campaign pass
bears the names of such landings as

and Bynum borough. Thousands of
these mementoes of the election are
circulating IN the city. 1t is thought

not rain.
PROBABLY no city in the Union ever
witnessed such

Pennsylvania Avenue, il front of the !
postoffioe, and around The new Denison
Hotel, in one of the big stores OF which
is located fhe Republican headquarters,
was so crowded that the muddy street
was the pedestrians only pathway. On
both sides OF the avenue, as far down
as Washington Street, the bowling,

squares, and also along Illinois Street
for two squares, in the vicinity Of the

who were swallowed by the crowd and
soon became imbued with the same
spirit Of enthusiasm which seemed to
aLtack and possess everybody. even
many Democrats. 1t was regular
carnival day. Probably the most
the way hats were marked with red
and White chalk. On the backs of
huudreLs were lt1e figures ga CD the
number of votes, General Harrison
received at Chicago. Others had II ,000
chalked on their backs, while every hat
bore some letter or figure. In New
DeDisoD, along the street corners, were
half dozed professional cha kers doing
a land Office business. Dudish young
men would submit to have their gar
ments artlstiCally marked with all sorts
of humorous characters. The device
that afforded the throngs the most
amusement was a miniature canoe four
feet long, carried through the streets by
four men; within the canoe sat small
chubby figure, bearing a striking
resemblance to the late candidate,

followed singing, GOOD bye, Oh, Gro
