NEW YORK, Nov. The Democratic
parade tonight started an hour later than
scheduled. The crowds were immense
and the sight of tens of thousands of men
all bearing torches or lanterns battle de-
scription. The paraders were fantastic

and bandanas in every conceivable ways
They moved along twelve abreast, but
were frequently blocked by the crushing
crowd, whom the police seemed powerless
to handle. Every where could be heard

While the procession was passing
Twenty sixth street and Fifth avenue a
well dressed unknown man dropped to the
sidewalk dead. His body was taken to
the station house.
When Governor Hill and the members
of the reception committee arrived at the
grand stand it was $50 and for an hour
previous the streets had been packed with
people. So dense was the mass that 400
policemen had difficulty in keeping the
o clear for the procession to pass by
the reviewing stand. The scene wit
messed by those fortunate enough to secure
seats on the principal stand was pictur-
esque in the extreme and the array of
torches borne by thousands of paraders
had the appearance of a gigantic fame.
AS the bearers neared Madison square
several companies of mounted men made
a splendid appearance with the well known
figure of Joseph j. O'Donohue at the
head of down town business mems

which was greeted with three cheers and

noon to witness the Republican parade of
business men. The rain came pouring
down steadily from out of the leaden
skies, but this did not seem in any way to
dampen the ardor of the paraders.
Promptly at l o'clock the procession
moved with Grand Marshal Mitchell at
the head. The American flag was ON

and on buildings and windows along the
route of the procession. Multitudes of
people thronged the route and crowds of

doorways and cheered the different cr-

One OF the most striking and UNIQUE
features of the parade was the appearance
presented by the Americas club of Pitts
burg. There were 275 men in line. The
men wore tweed suits and white hats and
each carried an umbrella round the out
side of which were stars, while the ribs
were alternately red, white and blue, thus
making the national flag. When they
