Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-03-05

Mr.. Morton in commendation of the march
ing of the different regiments, and inquired
particularly about the identity of Colonel
Cecil Clay, commanding the Second District
Regiment, who raised an empty sleeve in
giving the usual salute. The alignment of
several companies was disturbed as they
passed the reviewing stand by strong de-
sire on the part of certain members to get
glimpse of the Chief Magistrate.
CHEERING THE FIRST LADY.
During a lull in the review an excited
colored individual on the sidewalk directly
below the reviewing party called for three
cheers for Harrison and Morton. They were
given with a hearty vigor that was really
inspiring, and were followed Immediately
by three cheers for Mrs. Harrison, which
compliment the President acknowledged
with bow.
The National Guard of Pennsylvania
composed the second division. 1t was COM
manded by Major General John F.
Hartranft, and, as usual, when the Guard
has appeared at the capital, it created SEN
sation. The perfect alignment of the march
ing columns as they passed the Presidents
stand, the soldierly bearing of the men and
their 'ready for any emergency" equip
ment, called forth from the great crowd
cheer after cheer of admiration.
The Third Division was commanded by
Governor j. B. Foraker, of Ohio, and as he,
accompanied by his staff, approached the
Presidents stand, he was cheered to the
echo.
MY MARYLAND.
As the Fifth Maryland Regiment Band,
of this division, was opposite the stand it
played the "Star Spangled Banner" and
the thousands eff people occupying the
L. Il
opposite, rose to their feet and cheered
again and again, and when the band, after
passing the President, struck up 'My
Maryland" !" the same scene of enthusiasm
was repeated.
The only full regiment in the Third Brig
ade was the famous Seventh of New York,
which, as heretofore, was received with ire
mendous cheering. As company after COM
pany passed by, in perfect alignment, the
great crowd was almost beside itself with
enthusiasm.
The fourth Brigade was composed of un-
attached companies of Infantry, the Ma
tional Rifles of Washington acting as es-
cort to the brigade cor>1ander.
The FourtL GIvision, consisting of G. A.
R. posts, was commanded by General Will
lam Warner.
THE AMERICUS CLUB.
The light brown overcoats of the Lincoln
| Club, of Cincinnati, Mad assumed darker
hue when that club passed the reviewing
stand. But though their garments were in
| jured by the pelting rain, their courage and
patriotism were not effected, and with un-
covered heads they paid their respects to the
new President.
The Americus Club, of Pittsburg, was
next in line, and presented an unique ap-
pearance. By this time, owing to the
lateness of the hour, a number of the Or
CARNATIONS had dropped out of line and
did not pass the reviewing stand, conse-
quently the continuity of the programme
was broken. The Union League Club, of
New jersey, clad in light overcoats, pre-
sented handsome appearance. One and
all dofed their hats as they passed Presi-
dent Harrison.
In black suits and silk hats the repres
sentatives of the Lincoln Business Mem
Club, of New York, made an excellent show
ing; and cheer after cheer went up at the
sight of their great mastiff bearing the word
Protection" upon his covering. He figured
in the last campaign.
HEAPS OF ENTHUSIASM.
The Sheridan Shook Fifteenth District
Republican Association carried a glorious
banner bearing the names of Harrison and
Morton, and stopped for a moment before
the stand to give three lusty cheers for the
new Executive.
A delegation with their hats adorned
with coon skins were most enthusiastic in
