4akEJzHKS -. identified with the
WSSI - by the
~ thousand, and at 10
G04ttWM o'clock the streets
CON. yEAZEY. were almost i'm
passable The head of the procession
moved at IL o'clock and both in num-
bers and equipment the parade was one
of the most magnificent ever made by
the Grand Army. Most of the veterans
wore new and handsome uniforms
and there was no end of novel features
The Philadelphia contingent, nearly
800 strong, carried um brellas, each ono
painted to represent portion of the
battle of Gettysburg. Sault Ste. Marie
post was also represented by an UNI
brella brigade, each umbrella so paint
ed that when combined they represent
ed Lake Superior and the city of the
500. The name of each post along the
shores of the great lake was painted in
red, thus combining the lake. the city
and the national colors.
A striking feature of the Michigan
division was the fact that numbers of
old battle flags were carried by the
men who bore them during the war:
Still another umbrella brigade was
that of George H. Thomas post No S of
Chicago Their umbrellas were paint
ed to represent a monster flag of the
United States covering the entire post
and extending nearly two squares. The
Ohio division was very large and pre-
scented an imposing appearance.
Among those upon the reviewing
stand were Gen. w. G. Veazey, COM
lmander-in-chief; Gen Miles. of the
army; ex-Gov. Oglesby. of Illinois;
Cows. Fifer of Illinois, Campbell of
Ohio ,ud George w. Peck of Wiscon-
sin; GeA Lucius Fairchild, of Wiscon-
sin; Gov. Winans, of Michigan; Mrs
John A. Logan, and over a hundred
Others.
The governor of state is not often
seen trudging along in the dust with
the boys, but that sight was witnessed
more than once yesterday. As the Ne
braska G. A. R., 500 strong, with De-
partment Commander Teeter and Gov.
Thayer passed the grand stand it was
impossible to tell whether the cheers
were for the dignified governor. the
soldier boys or that venerable old fight
or, which always provokes the cheers
of the volunteer soldiers-Paul Wander
WORT, past national commander-in-
chief.
Four hundred veterans of Kansas. led
by Department Commander Timothy
Mccarthy, represented the grasshopper
state, and each carried upon his breast
the Kansas G. A. r. pin, bearing the
figure of this destructive little insect
Past Department Commanders Ander-
son, Pond, Stewart Booth, Guthrie and
Captain Coulter, of the national council
of administration. were in line. Com
amander Mccarthy enjoys the distinction
of being the only living man who was
literally in at the opening and at the
close of the war. A soldier at Fort
Sumter when the first gun was fred,
he remained in the service and was at
AppomattoX when the enemy surrend-
cred.
There was a wild cheer when the
Missouri volunteers hove in sight. 1t
was this state which had furnished
William Warner. one of the most popu-
lar commanders-in-chieft the G. A. r. has
ever known, and every man who
marched in line was recognized as one
who in his devotion to the union had
undergone the dangers of guerrilla war
fare and seen families divided against
themselves in the dark days of '63 De-
partment Commander George w.
Martin, the one-armed hero. who lost a
limb the first day of Gettysburg, led
his command of 500 men with
dignity In the ranks were
recognized the familiar features of
Private Cahoon," who was at Antie-
tam, at Fredericksburg, at Gettysburg,
and with Grant in all the bloody bat
ties after the silent soldier took COM
-mand of the army of the Potomac. Tho
Ransom post, of st. Louis, came in for
its share of admiration. 1t was 200
strong and accompanied by the United
States regular band This is the first
year the Ransom post ever attended an
>encampment when their commander.
Gen. w. I. Sherman, was not present
His death is a deep personal grief to
every member of this post as indeed it
is to every G. A. r man.
The naval veterans were loudly
cheered as they passed in review and
the ancient starboard received many
compliments
The Sons of Veterans, 500 strong and
in command of Commander-in-chief L.
j. Webb, brought up the rear of the
long procession The bOys marched in
fine style and received marked applause
along the entire line.
