field and Yale COMPREHENSIVE
illumination Along the Line of
March.
Last evenings parade was pre-emipently
he grandest parade of the campaign in the
tate. Never has the city seen finer or
more complete and enthusiastic pageant.
There were estimated to be over 1000 men
n line in which republicans from Yale,
New Haven, Springfield and West Haven
we're represented in large numbers.
At about O'Clock the Republican pha- |
lanx and battery of Springfield arrived and |
were entertained at the fremont house by
the Merwin legion. Major Southmayd was
in command of the entire phalanx, which
was divided into two companies. Captain
Robert Morgan in command of the fret
company and Paul Rhodes Hawkins in
command of the second company. Cap
tain Grossman commanded the Mckinley
battery. The civil officers of the Spring
field phalanx who were present last even
ing were: 81. N. Newell of the Newell
Brothers Button Manufacturing COM
pany, vice president Of the organiza-
ton, but the acting president
in the absence of r. H. Hawkins, the pres
dent, Ralph Alden secretary and treasurer.
Harry Hale, son of the republican candi-
date for governor of Massachusetts,, was

The company was headed by the Overman
Wheel band, from the shop where the Vic
tor bicycles are manufactured. The men,
bers were dressed in black coats with white
trimmings and white bearskin capeaux.
These Springfield companies presented
very fine appearance. They marched in
perfect order, and their evolutions were
executed in military order. That 1t pays
Springfield people to be republicans was
msds quite evident in a conversation with
Mr.. Il. N. Newell, the vice president of
the republican phalanx. He said that he
was the member of the firm of Newell Bros.
Manufacturing company of Springfield,
who manufacture every variety Of buttons:
A few years ago, before the Mckinley bill
was in force, out of force of 500 men
they had Is employed in the manufacture
of pearl buttons. Now this number has
augmented to 1866, an increase Of $50 men,
and he says that the industry is now run
on paying baeis, which was not the case
before when there was no protection
against convict labor abroad. He thinks
this is one of the strongest arguments pos
| sible in favor Of protection. A large
| number of the Springfield men were OBJ
served wearing pearl campaign buttons
bearing the picture of Benjamin Harrison
"A protectionist.
/ L. al
night, there being about 900 men in line,
at the head of the parade, led by the
Wheeler & Wilson band of Bridgeport
Each class bore it's own emblem and had
| it's own leader. N. a. Swayne led the bat
| talon which is known as the William
Walter Phelps battalion, in honor of thai
prominent Yale man, who uniformed the
| battalion.
After the students came the Young
Mems Republican club of this city in rheil
white beaver hats and linen busters
headed by Landrigan's band. Presiden
Farnsworth was in command. They hal
about 200 men in line. After them oam'
the Colored Republican club, headed d,
their drum corps.
Then came the Branford Military bant
and the Aerwin Legion and phalanx
which both presented very creditable ap
pearance indeed. Then came the Swedish
Republican club, headed by the Elm Cit,
band, after which the Merwin Zouaves
headed by q drum corps came. The 8. W
Kellogg phalanx of West Haven, G. W
Adams in command, closed up the parade
which was at least mile in extent ant
took from twenty minutes to half an hou
to pass a given point. The johnson
Guard of..Stratford were unable to be pres
ent, but sent their regrets.
At about $50 o'clock the lines formed
in Elm street and the streets immediatel,
leading to it, and soon the immense pro
cession commenced to move up Elm street
the other companies falling in line as tn
van led far enough along. It was beauti
full sight, the greater part of those in lin
being attired in bright colored uniform
and carrying torches, rockets and red fir
continually lighting up the street, whiol
was lined on each eide with decoratet
houses ablaze with illumination. Elk
Lieutenant Colonel Frank to Lee was chic
marshal with Captain Ludfngton an,
mounted.
After passing the campus, which tn
students cheered heartily before leaving
