this afternoon to witness the start OF
the Republican parade OF business
men. The weather was much the same
as that OF last Saturday, when the
Democratic business men paraded. The
rain came pouring down steadily from
out a leaden sky, but this did not seem
in any way to dsmPen the ardor OF the
parade. Promptly at l o'clock the pro-
cession moved with Grand Marshall
Mitchell at the head. The American
flag was omnipresent in the ranks OF
the parsders and on the buildings and
windows along the route of the process
sion. Multitudes of people thronged
the route, and crowds of sight-seers
stood on the roofs, in the windows and
doorways and cheered the different
organizations as they passed, and the
paraders frequently joined in. I'm
mediately behind the marshal came a
string of twelve horses in double line,
drawing truck bearing
MODEL OF A STEAMSHIP VESSEL,
which was intended to represent the
Dolphin, which was at first declared to
be unacceptable to the government
but is now considered one of the best
vessels in the navy for coast defense.
Alongside the model were seVenty-fve
men in seamen's uniform. They came
from the dock yards of the line OF
HAVANA steamships, and carried a
banner inscribed THE Democrats killed
John Roach, but his spirit goes mar ;h-
ing on" One of the most striking and
unique features of the parade was the
appearance made by the Americas
Club, of Pittsburg. There were 275
men in line. The men wore tweed
suits and white hats and each carried
an umbrella, the outside of which was
stars while the ribs were alternately
red, white and blue, thus
MAKING THE NATIONAL FLAG.
When they wheeled out of Liberty
Street to take their place in the parade
behind the Philadelphia clubs, they
Rwere preceded by a standard inscribed
Pennsylvania is at your back" When
the Wall Street business swung into
Broadway from that street, headed by
the Seventh Regiment Band, there was
a big shout from the crowd that lined
either side of the street. First came
the Coffee Exchange, followed by to-
5acco men; every man OF the latter had
the leaf of tobacco plant
coat or a mammoth pug susper ded
from his neck. The Brokers' Club
WAS che OF THE FEATURES
of the parade. Each man carried
cane to which was attached a small
American flag. Then came the mem
bers of the Consolidated Exchange; the
other associations filing into Broadway
being the Produce and Merchants Ex-
change, Custom House Brokers. Cotton
Exchange, the A. r. Whitney Bowling
Green Harrison and Morton Protective
Association and the coal trade. Then
came the others in the following order:

THE SCENE BEGaARs DESCRIPTION.
Crowds INSTRUCTED the sidewalks, and
the windows of the tall buildings on
both sides OF Broadway were filled with
spectators. In Chambers Street, for
many blocks above marching clubs
waited for over two hours after the head
of the procession had passed them be-
fore their right was uncovered by or
CARNATIONS starting further down town.
In fact, the extreme left of the line was
not in motion until after o'clock. The
greatest enthusiasm prevailed all along
the line. Here and there in the glitter
ing display OF stars and str pes and Re-
publican insignia were occasionally the
Democratic decorations of bandannas,
papers bearing Chinese characters and
pictures of President Cleveland. The
paraders founted their little American
flags and
KISSED AT THE BANDANNAs
and groaned at the portraits of the
Democratic candidates. At the head
quarters of the National Republican
Committee profuselv decorated ban
ners bearing the portraits of their can
didates waved over the cheering thou
sands. Messrs. Warner, Miller and
son, Levi P. Morton, Colonel Kruger
and General John o. Fremont reviewed
the parade from a stand at the Worth
monument Madison Square, while
Hon. James G. Blaine watched the
pageant from one of the windows Of
the Fifth Avenue Hotel, and afterwards
expressed regret he being unable to
get to the reviewing stand. It is esti-
mated that at least $4,000 men parti-
cipated in the parade. While ap-
