an early hour by the sons of toll and their
families. Their shops and factories We're
generally closed in recognition of the
workingman's holiday and all public Of

chief attraction of the day was the speech
of William ]. Bryan at Sharpshooters'
Park in the afternoon. There was also
speaking Mt Ogden's Grove by prominent
labor leaders.
Long before 2:30, the hour set for the
arrivel of William ]. Bryan, Sharpshoot-

The Labor Day parade in Kansas City
exceeded that of past years in point of
numbers. Five thousand workingmen in

ness was suspended and the streets were
lined with people.
In Washington, d. c., Labor Day was
celebrated with the usual street parade

aside their tools of trade and appeared in

for marching and the parade in the fore

he had 1000 or 5000 men in line.
Labor Day in Cleveland was celebrated
by monster parade of workingmen in
which it was estimated that from 10000
