HARRISON And REID.
First Outdoor Demonstration of the
Campaign.
Torchlight Parade of the Uniformed
Clubs-An Eloquent Address by
Senator E. T. Preston.

The Republican demonstration last
night was decided success, considering
that no attempt was made to secure a
large turnout Of citizens, the procession
being confined to the three uniformed
clubs-the Columbias, the Resolutes and
the Fire Brigade, all of whose men bore
new torches.
These organizations all made a strong
showing, but could have had a hundred
or more men in line were it not for lack
OF uniforms. AS it was, there were close
upon five hundred men in the process
sion. During the march the streets were
packed with people from the walls of the
buildings out to the street railroad tracks.
The column was formed at Sixth and
NJ streets, and marched up Seventh,
thence to K, down X to Second, thence to
j, up j to Tenth, thence to K, down X to
Seventh, to NJ. up NJ to Tenth and coun-
termarched to the old Pavilion, at Sixth
and NJ, where Hon. Z. f. Preston of Ne
vada County was TO speak.
A squad of policemen piloted the
marching hosts and cleared the way for
them. At the head of the column rode
Grand Marshal w. B. Miller, with w. h.
Maydwell as Chief Aid, followed by the
following named special aids: j. VI.

THE RESOLUTES.
The Hussar Band came next, with the
Resolutes leading the others. The club
numbered about 125 men, under the com
mand of Captain Ira a. ROBBIE; First
Lieutenant, Scott Ellis; Second Lieuten-
ant, l.. p. Williams; Third Lieutenant,
Fred l.. Martin; Sergeant, George Chat
terton. The men were mostly young and
fine looking. Their uniforms consisted
OF ordinary trousers, white blouse, leg
gings and caps. The men bore a number
of transparencies with the following in
scriptions:
'Resolute Club-Our choice for Con-
gress, Second District, John f. Davis"
Sure to Succeed-Harrison, Reid and
Davis"
''Our Choice-Harrison and Reid"
COLUMBIA CLUB.
Next came the Columbias, 70 strong,
resplendent in white blouses with blue
belts and breast trimmings, white caps
and red shoulder-straps. Each man wore
a crimson badge with the word "Colum-
bia." This club was captained by Major
w. II. Sherburn; First Lieutenant, W.
+. Bowman; Second Lieutenant, 0. w.
ErleWine; Third Lieutenant b. c. Brier.
At the front was carried a beautiful white
silk banner. fringed with gold and bear
ing the words, Columbia Republican
Club Masters Edwin Woods and Stan
ley Flint attended the banner bearer.
The following transparencies were car
ried:
mo State Banks - Dollars of Equal
Value''
Democracy Means Demolition"
FIRE BRIGADE.
The First Artillery Band headed the
Second Division, which was composed OF
the Fire Brigade. This organization
made fine appearance. 1t had about
220 men in line, a lack of caps preventing
some fifty more members from appearing
III the ranks. The men were dressed in
dark pants, white belts, red shirts and
black glazed caps. Their torches were as
red as their shirts. They tripped gaily
along two long lines Of rope, drawing a
steam tire-engine beautifully decorated
with bunting and flowers and with a To-
comotive headlight throwing a flood OF
light down the long line.
The Fire Brigade was otficered by
Richard Corsaw as Chief Engineer; James
Douglass, First Assistant; c. J. Rankin,
Second Assistant; Frank Cross, Third
Assistant; Foremen, Z. Rippon, Richard
Johnny Sullivan. The color-bearer was
Tom Consolation. Among the transpar-
encies carried were the following:
'We Again Honor Our Soldier States
man."
zone Good Term Deserves Another.n
"Tried and Not Found Wanting"
'Success at the Polls Assured"
Intelligent. Citizenship is the Safety OF
the Nation"
Legend of Democracy-Uncons
tionality.'
"a Policy of Progression and the De-
velopment of New Factories, New Mar
kets and New Ships" (Harrison.)
patriotic Workmen are for Protec-
fion.n
BRILLIANT, BUT NOT NOISY.
During the march rockets were fired al
intervals, while red lights blazed from
wagons at the head, the center and rear
of the line, lighting up the streets along
the route with lurid glare, and recall
ing some of the brilliant political demon
strations of decade or two ago.
But there was one noticeable difference
Groups of men on the sidewalks did not
jeer at nor mock the paraders, as they
were wont to do some years back when
party feeling was SO bitter between Re-
pubicanS and Democrats. On the con-
trary, not an unpleasant word was heard.
and the men in the ranks were not forced
TO yell at every step in order to drown
the noise made by sidewalk mobs.
The Columbias executed a number OF
neat figures which Major Sherburn had
taught them, and the Resolutes gave their
''war-cry" occasionally.
