tanned no one who will place little red
cross after the name of Mr.. Bryan to-mor-
row.
Representations of the real estate and
Insurance companies followed and with
them the bar of Alameda County. After
drum corps was the Afro-American |
League. They turned out strongly and
made splendid showing, carrying
transparency expressive of gratitude 10
army and navy veterans.
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN LEAGUE
AS hundreds of citizens felt in duty |
bound to take part in this parrde who |
were not affiliated with any regular Re- |
publican organization the ninth division |
was reserved for them. Marshal George
G. Hunt, with Abe P. Leech and w. II.
Friend as aids, headed the division with
band. Then came the National Repub
lican League. 1t consisted OF hundreds OF
the best-known Republicans in, this
county. together with a large number of
unattached citizens. They extended for
over two blocks and were followed by
full attendance of the Second Ward Re-
publican Club. A float representing the
wood industry ended this division.
FROM THE INTERIOR.
The tenth division was largely COM
posed of Republican clubs and kindred
| organizations from the interior of the
county. 1t was marshaled by r. w.
derson and Alex Macadam. 1t was led by
band, followed by the Temescal Drill
Corps. Then came an interesting body of
men. It was the Railroad Mems Repub-
lican Club. If any refutation of the
| chargs of coercion" were needed one
! look al the faces of this club would surely
dispel it from the mind of any one not
lunatc or incapable of observation. Fol-
| lowing them was float containing art-
/ sans, each representing different trade.
! A piece OF artillery was followed by
drum corps, heading the Regular Repub.
lican Italian Club.
| Republicans from Niles and Mount
Eden marched to the music of the Liberty
band. Next in line were the Republican
organizations from Livermore, San Lo-
| renzo Haywards, Pleasanton, San Lean
dro. Newark, Centerville, Mission San
| Jose, Fruitvale, the Whole terminating
with the Young Mems Republican Club
OF Brooklyn Tow nship.
U. c. MEN IN LINE.
Berkeley figured largely in the eleventh
division, which was officered by Marshal
]. A. d. Hutton, with his aid-de- corps of
| w. A. Waterbury, George II. Phillips, A.
| Smith and James Kearney.
| The University Republican Club of
| Berkeley came after the band. A good
deal has been said OF this club and much
was expected from it. 1t certainly full
| filled all expectations and the cheering
with which it was received proved that
the spectators were proud to see their
State school of learning turn ont such a
| tine body of yonng Republicans.
The Young Mems Republican Club of
Berkeley and the regular clubs of Berke-
ley and West Berkeley were followed by
the Mckinley League, the Golden Gate
Mckinley Club, Lorin Mckinley Club and
the Bay District Republican Club.
The last feature in the parade presented
strong contrast to the generally insis-
nificant feature that characterizes street
marches. Following the last political
club was battalion of pupils from the
Oakland High School, each of whom was
armed with the latest patented ten-lung |
power fishhorn. And they used them as
only o. 81. s. boys can. Immediately in |
their rear was cannon which was con-
tinuaily being loaded with blank car
tridges as fast as the muZzle was cool |
enough to receive them.
ALONG THE MARCH.
Such were the details of Alameda |
County's great Republican demonstra ton. |
But they fail to convey just impression |
of what that demonstration consisted. |
While the eye was divided between watch |
ing the fire on the streets and the burst |
ing of the myriads of rockets overhead, |
the ear was deafened by the frequent dis |
charge of artillery the footing of horns, |
the rafting of drum corps, the music of |
score of bands, the clattering of mum ber- |
less hoofs upon the pavement, the rum |
bling of countless wheels, the yelling and |
cheering from what almost seemed to be |
the population of the county, the snort |
ing of steam whistles and the occasional
Changing of bell, while the only sugges- |
ton of peace and quietness came from far
