and moved that the rules be suspended
and the adjutant general be directed
to cast the unanimous vote of the en-
campment for Comrade Walker. Mr..
Clarkson's action produced thunder
of applause. The motion prevailed
with hurricane of cheers.
In the contest for senior vice-co M

LOUISVILLE, KY, Sept. IL. - Thous-
ands of ex-Confederates and hosts of
other people gathered early yesterday
along the streets to witness the
grand parade of the Grand Army of
the Republic and cheers were constant
as the divisions marched along to the
streets where they were to form. The
entire line of march was cleared of
everything while the Louisville Le-
gion, the cadets and Kentucky Nation
al Guard patrolled the ways and there
was no delay. Forty thousand veter.
Grams were in line and fully 100000
people witnessed the march.
The parade was headed by two ex-
Confederates on horseback, Captain
John Fl. Weller and Captain William
H. Harrison. They did not wear the
gray, but were dressed in black Prince
Alberts with silk hats and red, white
and blue sashes, the same as members
of the citizens committee. Tney also
wore red, white and blue scarfs and
rosettes. Captain Weller carried a
large United States flag and Captain
Harrison a large white banner of
peace. In place of the eagle on the
top of the staff, the white banner had
a dove carrying an olive tw1g.
The veterans showed the weight of
years and the effects of service. 1t
was the general remark that there
were never so many old, lame and fee
BILE men in line, but they marched
proudly none the less.
