great buildings or Market ctreet were
black with men and women, who leaned
from the windows. waving flags and
cheering the marching men. Eryan men
were not very conspicuous today, but
in several instances crowds of silver
ties gathered together and jeered at
the passing throng. They could not
make enough noise, however, to be
heard above the strains of martial
music and the cheers of ardent Repub-
licans.
The immense crowd that viewed the
parade was very orderly. and there were
comparatively few accidents.
Tonight Thomas b. Reed spoke at
Woodward s pavilion. The building holds
about 5000 people, but before o'clock
twice that number were clamoring for
admission to the hall. BY o'clock it
| was impossible to get within a quarter
of a mile of the pavilion. The crush was
something frightful. People stood
wedged together. unable to move, and
hall ten times the size of the pavilion
! would have been unable to accommodate

that number were jammed into the

hood of the gardens were blocked with
crowds numbering probably 30, 900 people
unable to gain admission to the pavilion,
but who answered every indication of
enthusiasm within by stentorian cheers

which they waved at every opportunity

seemed a mass of waving stars and

audience rose as one man and cheered
itself hoarsc. 1t was five minutes before
the enthusiasm subsided. even tempor-

city introduced the man from Maine.
All previous scenes of enthusiasm were
outdone as Reed stood waiting for s-
lence. The men who had marched about
the streets all the afternoon were evil
IDENTIFY far from fatigued, for they stood
on chairs, shouted and cheered, until
Reed was forced to beg for silence. His
uplfted hand was the signal for still
another burst, and during his speech the
end of almost every sentence was pune
tuated with cheers. A man who had
the temerity to call for three cheers for
Bryan was hooted and hissed and finally
ignominiously hustled out by two police
men. Then the entire audience, led by
the band, arose and Joined in singing
America, while Reed still waited to be
heard. After that there were renewed
cheers for Mckinley. Finally stem
torian voice shouted: "Well, Tom, have
you got a quorum?" and $1,000 people
yelled again. Reed began by saying that
the Democratic papers had said that he
was no orator, but said that that fact
was easily discoverable. He said this
was no campaign wherein human liber-
ty was impugned, but was struggle for
