for no principle for years. 1t has been a
party of negation-of opposition. For
50 years it has been asking the people

Notes on the Parade.

The Germans and Scandfnavians
made a good showing.
The military display was an imoos-
ing feature of the parade.
Rawlins got the biggest applause of
the day at the tabernacle.
The militia boys were not one title
behind the regulars in their soldierly
bearing and appearance.
Marshal r. T. Burton was a striking
figure in the procession and rode as
gracefully as any of the young fellows.
The militia were very much admired
for the excellence of their appearance
and the perfection of their marching.
The Union Pacific boys had their
drag decorated with a shield. the
roads trademark" and the words.
The Union Is Pacific"
What was the matter with the in
fantry companies of the militia in that
they nearly delayed the procession
through lateness in arriving at the ap-
pointed rendezvous?
Every department of the National
Guard was praised yesterday and the
showing made by the militia as a
whole. under command of Brigadier
General Young, was very creditabIe.
General Penrose and his excellent
command formed the chief feature CT
the parade. The citizens appreciate
the kindness of the United States
troops in turning out to help celebrate
the great day.
The signal corps of the militia did
itself proud" IN conveying to Captain
Gibbs battery the information of the
introduction of Governor Wells so
quickly that the first gun sounded be-
fore the governor took his seat.

The decorations were gorgeous and
elaborate as befitted the most porten-
tious occasion that Utah has seen.
Hanging in midair above the great
auditorium was the mammoth flag,
spangled now with forty-five stars.
The flag extended over $50 feet in
length and was rs feet wide. On it
was the new star that silver tongued'
men were eulogizing and the populace
were saluting with storms of enthusi-
asm. In reality it did glitter as if in
honor of its newness and greatness,
for behind it several incandescent
lights were suspended.
From the end of the great flag long
lines of bunting foated to the upper
part and lower angles of the organ.
Between the two towers of the piping
giant an electric display of utah"
in Variegated colors was hung, and
just above. with his claws clinging to
the national colors. was the bird of
freedom. The inscription "1s47-1S96'
stood out in FURNISHED letters on either
side.
