The Great Parade.


There are now something over a half NIL
iQp of names on the roll of the Grand Army
Of the Republic, and nearly oie-fifth of that
number were in line when the grand parade
passed through the streets of Washington.
1t was the biggest event of the season in
point of numbers and enthusiasm, and in
several gatherings of secret and fraternal Dr.
ders that have been held during the summer.
From the start to the finish the veterans
passed between two solid walls of humanity,
and the constant roar of the thousands of
voices that cheered them to the echo as they
marched along must have been forcibie
reminder to them of the din of the many
battles through which they have passed.
Even the broad streets of Washington were
crowded to such an extent that the police
had all they could do to keep q clear way for
the procession, and many a sorroxin0 resi-
dent will look with rueful eyes upon the bare
expanse of turf extending from his house to
the curb line.
General Palmer was at the head of the line,
escorted by the Sixth Massachusetts, reQi.
ment This honor was accorded to the Bay
state boys in recognition of the fact that
of the national capital when secession was
rampant and grave fears were entertained
for the safety of the president and that of
the seat of government
The parade was in double column, 90 ar
ranged to lessen the time required to make
il as it would have taken eight hours to pass

colum of twelve abreast, a. has been the
custom.

The Old Boys in Washington.

The Old Boys in Washington.
The formal opening of the exercises of the
week at the national reunion was the dedica-
ton of Grand Army Place by Vice President
Morton as the representative of President
Harrison, who was detained at Loon Lake,
in the presence of large assembly that filed
the whole enclosure between the mimic
Richmond, in which the exercises took place,
and the lines around it. Shortly after noon
bugle sounded and Commander McElroy
called those present to order. Prayer was
offered, and then Chief
Palmer. of the G. A. R., was introduced to
deliver the introductory address
The first thing to attract the attention of
the incoming of the Grand Army visitors is
the waving stars and stripes. No matter
which way they move, the glorious emblem
of the United States and bunting of all colors
met their eyes. The decorations all over the
city are elaborate and profuse, business houses
and private dwellings being decorated. The
government buildings show the most promi-
nent specimens of the decorators art. The
state, war and navy buildings are elaboratlely
decorated with the national flag arranged in
many artistic ways.
decorated. From the roof of the porte
cochere hang festoons of bunting, while in
the center, red and white and blue streamers
are drawn to the base of the supporting pill
lars. on each of which is a shield bearing the
emblem of one of the army corps. Over the
main doorway hangs a large painting of a
G. A. R. badge surrounded by flags. In the
East room the curtains have been replaced
by United States flags, the presidential por-
traits remaining undecorated.
The presidents stand is located on Penn
sylvania avenue, directly IN front of the
treasury department.. 1t is handsomely deco
rated and will accommodate 500. The stand
for Grand Commander Palmer is in front of
the war department and is much larger than
that reserved for the president.
The central place of interest to the visiting
veterans is Grand Army place. Here are
located the regimental, brigade, division and
corps tents, where the old soldiers may most
readily find their associates IN the time of
peril which they experienced together. Here
are also the large tents in which the various
CORDS reunions are held.

court, is at home from his European trip.
He expected to get back by September 9Th
but arriving in London learned that every
state room on all steamers for the United
States were engaged for the months of Sep

ever, and secured q stateroom on the ''Pa-
vonia," which had been released by an in
tended passenger.
The '.Pavonia' left London September

vessel was plac ID IN quarantine. but through
some influential Boston citizens who were
on board, most of the cabin passengers, in
GLIDING Judge Horton, were allowed to land,
while about one hundred and forty Storage
passengers were held in quarantine for twen-
~ days. The baggage of the cabin passen-
gers was held in quarantine and will be until.
It can all be thoroughly fumigated. Judge
Hort IN says the weather was very pleasant
in England and Ireland, but was uncom-
fortably cold in Scotland. He divided his
last two weeks between Paris and Ireland,
and said he could see great deal in very
little time in that country.

Reception Extraordinary.
The leading social event of the national
encampment week in honor of the Grand
Army was the reception to tn, members of
the national encampment given by the citic
zens of Washington in the spacious court Of
the pension Office building.
The interior of the building had been
handsomely decorated with flags and bunt-
ing. At either end of the hall. near the top,
were the portraits of Lincoln and Grant, and
on the side walls were those of Harrison and
Morton. All the gas je,s around the three
galleries of the building were lighted, and
large globes of electric lights shed lustre
over the scene, which, when viewed from the
upper galleries, was striking one. The
eommil tee having the reception in charge
had wisely restricted the invitations TO
limited number of citizens and to the Off
GERS and members of the encampment
The crowd, therefore, while large, was at
no time uncomfortahly 30. and locomotion
was easy.

Senator d. B. Hill spoke to Is many peo-
pie as could be packed in the Brooklyn
Academy of Music. He spoke for full
hour before mentioning the name of the
presidential candidates: leading up to that
q final climax with the trained skill of an
orator. During the speech every paragraph
indicated the speakers loyalty to the party,
and the excitement of restrained enthusiasm
seemed painful to the audience.
When, at last, be concluded his speech
with the names the waiting people had been
eagerly listening for there was Wild ap-
plause.
Mr.. Hill said:
From this time forward imperative duties
are imposed upon us. fractional appeals
should COW cease. The spirit of discomfort
ment should be abandoned, and state pride
subordinated to the general good real or
bltlon sacrificed; individual dIsappointments
forgotten, in this great emerZen which
demands from US all an exhibition of wide
spread and lofty party patriotism.
The fundamental difference between the two
parties arose out of the construction of the
constitution. The republicans construed it
loosely; the democrats strictly. Under the
general welfare" clause OF the constitution
the two parties naturally enunciated differ
ent theories of government, especially upon
the all-important subject of taxation. The
republicans believed the government had a
constitutional right to impose tariff duties
Tor the protection os private industries. The
democrats believed the government had
only constitutional right to impose such
duties to raise sufficient revenue to support
the government economically administered.
Protection, pure and simple, could not be
constitutionally defended. The tariff should
be imposed for the express purpose of reve-
nue.; not for any private purpose. The DEM
ocrats believed in revenue with incidental
protection; not in protection with incidental
revenue.
Protection is fraud for six reasons: Be-
cause it works to the benefit of the few at the
expense of the many; because it is based
upon the worst species of favoritism; because
it creates fictitious prosperity, followed by
depression; because it is deceptive in its
promises, unsatisfactory in its results; be-
cause its principal bene6claries are the priv
ileged class.
His concluding words were: "With this
motto Inscribed upon the democratic banner,
Public Office is a Public Trust SUPPLE
mented by the other sentiments, No Public
Taxation for Private Purposes and No Force
Bill let US close up the ranks, buckle on
our armor and fight with determination to
do all in our power for the triumph of our
party and the election of our honored stand
ard bearers, Cleveland and Stevenson"

tory. In every way it had equalled the eI-
pectations of the predicted. More men were
in line than any other Grand Army parade.
An estimate close on to $1,000 men would
not be far from the mark. The crowd which
witnessed the parade was very large and the
steadiness of its attention showed that as
long as the parade was it was full of interest.
By actual count there was $50 bands. The
weather, though at times cloudy, was free
from rain; pleasant and just warm enough
