There was enthusiasm galore last
night, and there was not the shadow OF
a doubt concerning it's genuineness, ana
every man in the $500 who paraded
with the Republican uniformed clubs
cheered for Mckinley, Johnson and the
whole ticket until they could cheer no
more.
Enthusiasm was in the air ana from
the ranks of marching men it extended
to those upon the sidewalks, and at
many places along the line of march
the street and sidewalk was one mass
Of wildly cheering humanity, bent on
showing a decided and unmistakable
preference for the Republican candi-
dates who afterward delivered ad-
dresses at the Metropolitan Theatei' as
well as for Mckinley and sound money.
At o'clock the Sound Money Clubs
of the railroad shops formed IN the
yard, and preceded by two bands,
marched to Tenth and ] streets, where
they took their places for the parade.
In the meantime the Army and Navy
League. the Resolutes and the United
Republican Clubs had assembled, as
well as the Mckinley Club frcm Per-
kins Station, and shortly after ;
o'clock Grand Marshal Geo c. McMul-
len and his Chief of Staff, William
Sayre, starting down ] street, led the
van of the most enthusiastic parade
seen in the city for many a year.
The march was down to Second, on
Second to X, up K to Tenth, ana CO In

and behind it marched the battle
SCARED veterans of the Army and Navy
League, who for all their soldierly bear
ing. could not but cheer to keep in line
with those who followed.
Then the Resolutes marched and
cheered and blew blasts from their
nambeaux, and behind them came the
United Republican Club. the members
of which were armed with fish horns
pitched in many octaves, and upon
which they generously expanded every
breath not required for purposes OF
locomotion.
Then came the fife and drum corps
blowing out such airs as odd Jefer-
SON." "Garryown" and Yankee Doc
ole"
Next in line came the Boys Mckinley
Club, 100 strong. Each young shaver
was neatly uniformed and each one
yelled for Mckinley loudly. If not very

lis machete in true soldierly form
while Major Eddie Wiley, Captain Ed
Dodge and Lieutenant Roy Clay kept
their men in line.
The bows of the Capital City Drum
Corps led the second division, put al
the noise they made could not drown
the continuous cheering of the Rail
road Shops Sound Money Clubs and
the Perkins Tigers, who marched be-
hind them.
The Rolling Mill Club followed the
drummers. and the air shook with tneir
demonstrations. and the Blacksmith
Shop Club followed, its members looking
neat in their black uniforms ann yell
low trimmings. Here, sandwiched in
somehow, came the Mckinley CLUB OF
Perkins, the members of which were
lavish in their efforts to butcher al
others.
Next in line marched the Car Machine
Shop Clubs. and the fancy evolutions
they performed caught the eyes of the
multitude and increased the enthusi-
assn of the spectators.
