Several speeches were made in Hyde
Park, after which the procession was
reformed and started on the way back

through Oxford street, the police cap
tured the most offensive banner that
was being carried in the lines.
The men were allowed to march
through Cheapside, but subsequently,
when they were ordered TO dispense by
the police, they refused to do so. The
police charged the crowd and after a
slight resistance succeeded in dispensing

exercise OF the electoral franchise, the
Hon. Thomas +. Bayard said:

freer exchange of our agricultural and
other natural products for the raw ma

interests will be revived, and our mercau.

of the national Democracy to hold these
