The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1892-11-07

would have taken Ne braslla blizzard to
stoD the valiant men ot the Renubicau
clubs OF RHODE ISLAND from turning out
and making such "A parade as Nsoui,. cast
ashadox of gloom over the hearts OF
Democrats who remem bered their own
parade, of which they boasted, and saw
IL outnumberei nearly two to one. The
Democratic parade was good one but
that of the Republicans was great. ("
Chief Marshal Walker had everything 2
ready aud expected a big time, aud as the
columns filed into the Square with their
long lines of torches and their gittering,
many-colored uniforms, his heart was
big with pride. 1t was a march to vic
Sory. In the line as il moved into West
linster street were at least $500 duly
ualified voters OF the State, and there
<Sere some who will be good Republican
voters later on.
There were many brilliant features in
the parade, but the one that excited the
most interest was the six-horse tally-ho
containing the representatives Of the
NEWS. All along the line of march the
coach was greeted with appleause A
crowd of college boys on Westminster
street saw it and yelled "'Rah, 'rah,
'rah, NEws." The ladies in the windows
waived their handkerchiefs aud the men
ON the sidewalks cheered and cl ped
their hands. Thousands of the frienLs of
the NEWS were out to see the procession
ures, could not restrain themselves
when the tally-ho, surrounded by
n blaze of red fire through the rich color
ing of which came the sounds from
horns made of genuine American tin,
hove in sight Someone yelled out Vote
for Harrison and Reid the NEWS" and
fuel was added to the flame of colored fire
burning on the sidewalk. The time was
spent by the occupants of the coach in
blowing horns, singing songs, cheering
and returning the many salutes as far as
possible. One young man on Broad street
whose costume made him look very much
like President Harrison, stood on flight
of steps burning red fire and added an
extra quantity TO the fire when the coach
went by and seemed to be very much
pleased to see the paper represented in
the parade which was supporting the
man he aimed to look like. When the
tally-ho arrived at the end OF the route of
marcn the rear was just moving down
Weybosset street and "a blaze from half a
hundred Roman candles saluted the par
Elephants in one of the finest political
demonstrations PROVIDENCE has ever
seen.
The crowds of enthusiastic spectators
had lined up on Westminster sire l and
filled the doorways and staii ways and
windows by 7:45, but there was a little
delay because Newport snds her cohorts
by boat, aud while they may not be quite
so early they get thero Dy and by, rs they
will do when their vote comes in with
"Bull" printed IT, big letters ON IL. The
M u ted police skirmishers felt proud to
leau such "A host, ana The NATIONAL Band
struck its best notes and the people
shouted as they saw the Plumed Knights
with their familiar uniforms escorting
the chief marshal and his staff. IL re-
minded them of the old Blaine cou ms
of bygone years. Men on horses followed
including the Johnston cavalcade and
Harrison Guards Of East Providence.
The marching companies received ova-
tions all along tue route through the
crowded streets The leaders wheeled
into Jackson street amidst showers of
rockets aud sheets Of red fire and tramptd Il
past the reviewing stand on Broadway
with cheer upon cheer for Harrison and
Reid and Capron aud Bull aud victory
The A. Is. Capron Club OF this city was
in military uniform. One of the best
features OF the line was the 250 men from
the RHODE ISLAND locomotive works with
AN inerovised engine and a miniature
house OF American tin.
