TINE NIGHT PAX AIDE.
One of the Most Imposing Ever Seen
in Chicago.
Before the echo of the applause Of the
multitudes that witnessed the demon
stration for sound money" and pro-
lection had died out, the organized fol-
lowers of Bryan from every quarter of
the city. and almost in as great num-
be1's, marched with flaming torch to
stirring music poured forth by a score
of bands, over very nearly the same
route followed by the political oppo-
nents during the day. Red fire and
searchlights added to the attractjyeness
of the parade, and lent their assistance
in stirring up the enthusiasm of spec
tatoTs, who looked on from every posi-
ton of vantage along The line of
march. The balcony Of the Auditorium
annex was the reviewing. stand for the
free silver parade, and from 1T Vice
States Senator Henry NJ. Teller and
many noted Democrats reviewed the
marching followers OF Bryan and
Sewan as they passed.

along Michigan avenue to Randolph
street. then west to Fifth avenue, to
Jackson street, east to Michigan ave-
nue., to Sixteenth street and thence to

GERMAN ORGANIZATIONS
formed the fourth division The fifth
division consisted of all west side or
CARNATIONS, and the sixth and last di-
vision included all unassigned organi-
cations, bicycle clubs and members of
American Railway Union.
The demonstration, in point of num-
bers ard enthusiasm, was a grand sue
cess. The streets through which the
procession passed were crowded with
spectators and they came prepared to
accord the marcheTs the greatest en-
couragement.
Owing to several changes in the route
from that given in the newspapers,
thousands were disappointed, but on the
streets on which the march took place
the absence of those who were waiting
elsewhere was scarcely noticed. The
alteration in the programme was
made necessary by the presence of
street cars on the original route.
AS to display. the procession was

WAS NOT UNEXPECTED,
aa the silver people gave it out early in
the week that they would attempt moth

The banners, as rule, were of an
impromptu order and many of the
notices were trite in their application

who, perceiving the point conveyed,
were not slow to display their appre-

A very pretty sight was float on
which were seated seventeen young
ladies. of whom sixteen were dressed
in white with silver adornments, ane
one decked with gold. The significance
of this display created unbounded en-
thusiasm. The young ladies' responded
to the applause by waving American
flags.
Bryan Autographs in profusion were
noticeable and cries of WHATS the
matter with Bryan Hes all right,
resounded on all sides. About fifty
bands, each of which discoursed pat
riotic and martial music, were in at
tendance.
Scarcely a man in the parade but
had a horn or ether sort of an instru-
ment to add to the noise of the oc-
casion, and those who had none used
their lungs to their full capacity.
No time was lost in the movement of
the immense body, a double quick step
being the order.
Over 10000 men were in line, the
north and south divisions moving first,
tie west side contingent joining in the
rear when the first two reached Ran
dolph and Market streets. A conserva-
tive estimate put the number of people
on the down town streets OF Chicago
