The people gathered Ia large crowds along
the streets and looked on in respectful
silence - the ioag line sweps past. They
packed the Seattle theater 10 the ceiling,
and, - the swsss voices Of their children
made the roof ring with the weii-leved
songs Of American liberty and the battle
songs OF the war. one sentiment thrilled
the hearts Of all--that no sedifion should
disturb The peace which those Rrixzled and

Was intensified and found expression in
hearty applause - Gov. Mctsraw and she
orator Of the day. 4. w. Hastie. put in
words . patriotism which ieaped over
stats lines and fonnd no bounds but the
boundaries Of the Union.

IN even more impressive sight on account
Of their evidences Of growing age. though
they marched IN ~ solid order and - per-
