same route followed by their political op,
ponents during the day. Red fire and
searchlights added to the attractiveness OF
the parade, and lent their assistance lh
stirring up the enthusiasm OF spectators
who looked on from every posltlon oi Vah-
tage along the line OF march.
The balcony of the Auditorium annex
was the reviewing stand for the 1ree-SiVer
parade. and from it Vice-Presldsnt otev-
enson, United States Senator henry M.
Teller anc many other noted Demo-
Gratis reviewed the marching followers OF

was along Michigan avenue TO ran
dolph street, then west to Fifth avenue, TO
Jackson street, east to Michigan avenue,
and thence to TattersalPs where the
speeches for the occasion were dellVereu:
Major Edgar B. Tolmer was the cher

the auspices of the United Silver clubs OF

sisted of six divisions, was led by q

The demonstration in point of numbers
and enthusiasm was grand success. The
streets through which the procession
passed were crowded wit spectators, and
they cheered the marching hosts wildly.
AS to display the procession was
scarcely as gorgeous as that of the gold
advocates in the daytime, but this was
no: unexpe cted, as the silver people gave
il out early in the week that they would
attempt nothing in the way of spectacular
effects. The bannere as rule were of an
impromptu order and many of the mot
toes were trite in their application and
were wildly cheered at all points, one in
particular bearing the inscription, "No
buzzards are watching" caught the
crowds on the sidewalk. who perceived
the point conveyed.
A very pretty sight was a float on which
were seated seventeen young ladies, OF
whom sixteen were dressed in white with
silver ornaments and one decked with
gold. The significance of this created nm
bounded enthusiasm. The young ladies
responded to the applause by waving
American Eags.
Bryan Autographs in profusion were
noticeable, and cries OF 'tWhat's the
matter with Bryan?" Hes all right, v
resounded on all sides. About fifty bands
each of which discoursed patriotic and
martial music, were in attendance.
Scarcely man in the parade but had q
horn or instrument of some kind to add
to the noise OF the OCCASION.
No time was lost in the movement oi
the immense body, a double quick steI
being the order. Over 80, 600 men we're in
line, the north and south divisions
moving first, the west side contingent
joining in when the rear of the first two
reached Randolph and Market streets
A conservative estimate put the number
of people on the down streets at 600, 600.
