IRON MEN IN LINE.


A cannon that frequently belched forth
thunderous warning headed the fourth
division. which was in command of Mar
shall Charles Mautalen, who was assisted
by II. Bercovich, William Watkinson,
Albert Kayser and W. D. Heitman. Fol-
lowing lively drum corps came the
Forty-eighth Assembly Drill Corps, the
First Ward Republican Club, the Fourth
Ward Mckinley and Hobart Club, the
Fourth Ward Republican Club and the
Sixth Ward Republican Club. The floats
in this division represented the iron INDUS
try. Two were from the Oakland Iron
Works and the same number from the
Judson Company. After the floats were
160 sturdy iron-workers.

= the fifth division. Marshal George H.
Mason and Aid P. l.. KoscialowsH and
Thirtytfth Assem- bly Club. That beauti-
ful organization, Plumed Knights of San

Bear Club OF that City, then the Phenlx
Drill Corps from across the Bay.
A large representation of the National
Republican League OF San Francisco was
followed by two patriotic floats sent over
by the Union League.
MAYOR KELLER'S PRIDE.
Mayor P. J. Keller of Piedmont was
marshal of the sixth division. ]. A. Bliss
and H. A. Weitzel, Oakland's humane
pound master, helped him to preserve the
regularity OF his command. The division
consisted of a mounted cavalcade of about
200 Marshal Keller had recruited the di-
vision from Piedmont and Oakland Town
ships, and it was without doubt the i've
hest section of the parade. The marshall S
horse was ornamented with large green
wreath. and his uniform became his sta
ton. Each of the cavalcaders wore sash
and helmet and their horses were libsrally
decorated With Piedmont chrysanthe-
NUNS. The rattle of the horses hoofs
was completely drowned by the cheering
that the cagalcade called forth. This was
the only division without a band, and in
deed one would have been entirely wasted.
THESE DEMAND PROTECTION.
The seventh division was in charge OF
Marshal J. f. Hayes, whose aids
were J. w. Dewey, ]. Z. Vaughn, J. l..
Cavasso, f. D. Gushing, III. n. Gard, NJ. f.
Bosworth and T. ]. Fish.
This was the great Industrial division.
Dozens OF merchants and hundreds OF
employees marched side by side. Several
floats represented the brick industry; all
the large express companies had decorated
teams in line; -four and wheat, with a
transparency having referen ce to silver,
were on another float; twelve teams rep
resented the lumber industry; float and
forty men were sent by the akers /;
several wagons and many men were there
from the coalyards; the canning compa-
nies had a four horse team and several
men in line; refrlgerators coal oil, wine,
uphol5tering, hardware, toys, produce
water, shoes and paints were all attended
to in such manner as to convey the i'm
preston that If their respective industries
were not protected from cheap foreign
competition there would soon be thou
sands more of unhappy homes than are
now to be found in this State.
Interspersed between the many floats OF
this division were wagons of red fire that
illuminated the determined features of the
hundreds of men who realized that they
were parading not for the benefit of sight.
seers, but for liberty and home.
SOUND MONEY LEAGUE.
Marshal Don F. Miller commanded the
eighth division. W.. Mackey, A. II.
Trathur, A Nj. Benham, Ben Ferris and
Z. K. King were his assistants. The
proud alliance followed the band. Their
handsome uniforms were refurbished for
the final effort in the campaign; their sill
r-plated torches reflected the fame that
issued from them, and gave each man the
appearance of being on fire below the
shoulders, at the same time making each
.orch produce the effect OF two. The Al
lance acted as escort to what might al
most be considered q Democratic COM
pany. But il was not. 1t was the sound
money league OF Oakland. and although it
contained many of the men who have
been the foundation of the Alameda
County Democracy OF the past, it con-
