WASHINGTON, March 4.-One of the
features of the entire parade was the
Tammany society, of New York. Gov.
Flower and staff were enthusiastically
cheered all along the line. When the
governor reached the press stand he re-
sponded to the applause which greeted
him by rising in his carriage, lifting his
hat and bowling a number of times.
Again as he passed the presidents stand
he stood erect in his carriage and re-
manned uncovered until the stand was
passed. Immediately in the governors
rear came Tammany'S chieftains, bear

Among them were Richard Croker and

County Democracy Marching club. The
Pullman band. The shadows of night
were beginning to fall when the Cleve-
land Democracy passed the presidential
stand. Marching proud and erect with
their uniform black top coats and silk
hats, they presented an appearance
that did credit to the presidents home.
Every head was Dared as the contingent
went by to the strains of "Annie
Laurie" and the president kept his hat
in his hand until the last of his fellow
IownSmen was out of sight. The mem
bers of the Duckworth club, of Cincin-
