From q to o'clock yesterday afternoon
river OF yolls and flags flowed between two
banks OF the same on Fifth avenue in the
vicinity Of the Worth monument. According
to the most careful count about forty thou
sand men constituted that noisy and SNOWY
stream. and every blessed ono OF them cheered
and shrieked. yelled and howled. from the mo-
mont he caught sight OF the spot whore Levi
p. Morton stood looking on until he got block
beyond the stand. Besides this. nine-tenths OF
the mon prancod about. shook their hats in
the air. waved canes umbrellas. and flags. and
otherwise comported themselves like set OF
lunatics or monkeys 1t would have been the
most ridiculous thing ever seen in this
oarnestness which imhued the whole bowling
mob. Clarence Seward and Judge Noah Davis
never put moro soul into their most important
plea than thcy did into the comical. II some

A. II. whitney. John r. Plummer. and men Of
that sort. accustomed to unbending now
and then, there was something truly de-
licous in the whole-souled manner in which
they faced their men, flung both hands in the
air. hat in ono hand. flag In the other. bent
themselves nearly double. stamped on the
ground. and yelled with all their might for

THE STARS AND STRIPES HAVE AN AIRING.
It was q great day for the American flag as
we'll rs for bowling. The stars and stripes
haven't had such an airing in New York for q
generation. Everybody had at least one.
About half tho procession had the flag
canes" which spring little foot-square
banner ont OF the end Of the stick The dry
goods men alone put out 1000 OF these con-
trivances for use In the parade. Ordinary small
flags waved In tho hands OF thousands Of 9TH
ers. and still smaller ones had the STATS stuck
into shirt bosoms 80 that they waved over the
shoulders Of the marchers. There were flag
handkorchiefs too. and flags twined about hats,
turban fashion. and sometimes hundred men
at once would march by with flags tied on
apron fashion. Big American flags were car
ried at the head OF every separate body Of men.

viewing stand and the similar stand on the east
side OF the street were smothered in flags. those
with two gilt eagles over the centre being tho
sole adornment
Both stands were filled an hour before the
parade was due. about half OF those on each
being ladies. who. sitting on damp chairs and
receiving the drip from umbrellas all around
them. made very good attempts to look as
though they liked it. When the reviewing party.
headed by Mr.. Morton. Mr.. Miller, and Mr. Cru
ger arrived at the stand on the west Of the
avenue. considerable effort had to be used to
force tho people back out Of the space reserved
for them, over which a small awning had been
stretched. There were damp and chilly cheers
from the crowd for Mr. Morton and Mr..
Miller. and quito hearty outburst q
few minutes later when John G. Fremont
appeared and stood beside the candidates.
Senator J. sloat Fassett. Gen. Horace Porter,
Rabbi Gottheil. Cornelius NJ. Bliss. Rabbi X.
Kohler. Francis B. Thurber Joseph II. Choate.
John W. Jacobus. Col. Henry c. Perley. Judge
Noah Davis Judge Il. b. Cowing. Coroner
Nueent, and G. G. Shayne were among those on
the platform. Fred Douglass, Gen. Adam j.
King. Judge J. L. Hayden OF Washington. W.
W. Johnston. President OF the Baltimore Re-
publican Club. and q number OF other gentlo-
men from outside OF New York wore also OF the
party. Messrs. Morton, Miller. and Cruger
stood In row at the front and did the formal
part Of the reviewing.
Mr. Blaine saw all OF tho review that he cared
to look at from window In the Fifth Avenue
Hotel He got small attention from the pa
raders his name being heard very rarely in the
cries and cheers.
THE START.
rhs parade started on Wall street. at the
corner OF william. The first sign Of the big
turnout was the arrival OF lot Of policemen
and o lot OF saddle horses. There were twice
as many policemen as Inspector Williams had
at the starting point OF tho Democratic parade
last week and on that occasion there were no
saddle horses
Hi. Jimmie" one youngster shouted to an
other. watts all dc saddles fer2"
Don't Yer know nothin'?" was tho answer.
Yer don't expect der Republican dudes tor
walk tro' de mud like der Democrats did. do
yer1"
Thero was slight rain falling, and the streets
wero sloppy but the clouds were not heavy.
and there was a promise Of the clearing wealth
or that the Government experts had predicted.
Soon after the police and saddle horses arrived
tho banner bearer OF the Bankers and Brokers'
Club took his place in William street, facing
Wall street to tho north. There were not many
spectators to see tho start. When Grand Mar
shal Col. {. p. Mitchell and his aides arrived
and were hoisted TO tho backs OF the waiting
steede. another difference between this parade
and that Of tho Democrats WAS noticed. All
the Republican aides wore silk hats. 1t was by
order; There were dozens Of them, and at
o'clock they led the way for the biggest process
aion that this town had yet seen In this cam
paiGn., Away down Wall street clear to the
river tho longshoIemen were gathered. They
Wero 10 hold the place OF honor at the head OF
the procession. The air was tlled with music
while they filed out Into Broadway. Flags lnt-
tered amid the shouts OF enthusiasm, which
never ceased along the limo OF march until tho
last man In line had passed tho reviewing
stand. long after the stars were out at night.
