the parade. Cheers and applause.1 Ii
there is anything in human shape so con-
temptible as to wear Mckinley button
and parade when opposed to the things
Mckinley stands for, then that low form
OF humanity would probably be found in
such party as Bryan represents" Ap-
plause.
The association has one strong object
lesson that is a contradiction to the
slander that men are being coerced by
their employers. 1t has many applica-
tions from the unemployed, who want to

made arrangements to give the unem-
ployed prominent place and to furnish
them officers, flags and badges.

dustries will be largely represented in the
parade. They held a meeting yesterday
and arranged for a union band of sixteen

All the railroad and Eastern steamship

She great Republican daylight parade.
That was decided yesterday at meeting
held in the rooms of the Traffic Associa-
tion in the Mills building. A large repre-
sentation was present including officials
from all of the thirty or more agencies
here of Eastern railroad and Atlantic
steamship lines, exclusive of the Southern
Pacific, which will turn out special divi-
sion OF its own.
The decision was unanimous and spon-
taneous that the various agencies take
part in the parade.
One of the most significant features of
the novel undertaking was the selection of
a marshal for the division. To D. W.
Hitchcock, the we'll known general agent
OF the Union Pacific Railroad, was &C
corded the special honor, because up to
the present campaign he has been widely
and generally known to his associates in
the railroad service as lifelong Demo-
crat of the old Jeffersonian school. This
time he will cast his first Republican vote.
and it will be for Mckinley.
Mr.. Hitchcock could not be at the meet
ing, but the following committee was ap-
pointed to notify him at his office: NJ. NJ.

F. Connor of the Oregon Railway and
NAVIGATION Company, w. D. Snedaker of
the Rio Grande, H. Fahnestock of the
American Line Steamship Company and
c. L. Garfield of the Rock Island road.
AS chairman Mr.. Stern told Mr.. Hitch
cock of his appointment and welcomed
him into the Republican ranks.
In happy little speech Mr.. Hitchcock
accepted the position. He will appoint
his aids to-day.
The committee of arrangements, of
which NJ. NJ. Stern is chairman, will meet
at 10 o clock this morning to decide upon
the character OF uniforms to be worn and
10 attend to other matters. A novel and
attractive showing is promised, as all the
participants are enthusiastic ard declare
that there can be no suggestion of any
coercion in what they have so heartily
gone in for.
