Harrison Reviews the Republican Turn
cut.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 4.-Active pre-
parations were in progress all day by
the County Committees, both Demo-
cratic and Republican, for their respec-
tive demonstrations last night. Each side
aimed to outnTmber the other and make
better display. A number of delega-
tons arrived in the city during the day
from Greenfield, Shelbyville, and other
towns, to participate in the Democratic
parade. The weather was clear and cool,
but the streets were in bad condition.
Early in the afternoon the city began
to resound with marching bands, drum
corps and clubs, moving across the city
to their respective rendezvous. Early
in the evening the streets began to block
adc with swarming thousands. ExpeC-
tation was on tiptOe to witness the spec
tacle OF two great demonstrations at the
same time. The fears OF Il conflict had
largely abatGd during the week, owing
TO the extraordinary precautions en-
ployed by the authorities, aided by the
managers of both parties. The best OF
good feeling prevailed everywhere. The
crowds had possessed themselves OF tin
horns and numerous other contrivnnces
with which to make night hideous.
Hundreds OF middle-aged men, to say
nothing SSof the boys, were necessarily
blowing campaign whistles.
So far as can be learned at q late hour,
the double demonstration passed Off
without trouble or casualties Accord
ing to programme the Republican col
umn moved away first. 1t was SO'clock
when the head OF the column, marching
Vest on Washington, turned north into
Pennsylvania avenue. The parade was
reviewed by General Harrison and his
son, Russell, at the New Denison. The
number OF men in line was estimated at
400. The Republicans had but n hall
dozen bands, and they were compelled
to send to the country and bring them
in, as the Democrats got ahead OF them
and hired every band in the city. The
column was one hour and twenty man
utes in passing the review balcony.
General Harrison remained throughout
the parade, and was handed dozen
kilograms while reviewing the pro-
cession. They proved to be from his
friends in New York, congratulating
him upon the success OF the grand
demonstration in that city.
The Democratic demonstration was
equally as creditable as the Republican.
1t was shortly alters o'clock when the
booming cannon announced that the
Democratic host was under way. Around
the Grand Hotel, on Illinois street, the
jam was as great us on Pennsylvania
avenue, and enthusiasm ran very high.
1t seems the population OF the city, as
by common impulse, observed the di-
vision OF territory set inside TO each pro-
Cession by the authorities, and the
friends OF each side massed themselves
along their respective lines OF march.
Thus it happened that while the thou
sands around the Grand Hotel all cheer
ed Justify for Cleveland aud Thurman,
no discordant cheers disturbed the
masses.
From the balcony OF the Grand Hotel,
Chairman Jewett aud number OF other
distinguished Democrats reviewed the
passing host. The column was compos.
cd Of i've divisions, under the command
OF Chief Marshal Robbins. From the
balconies along the route, red fire illumi-
mated the streets until from distant
house too, ii seemed Us though the city
was on fire in hundred places.
