CHICAGO, Illinois. October 9.--The
anniversary Of the great Chicago fire
was today made the occasion of an ex
traordinary demonstration In favor OF
s.sound money!. Tonight, "Chi-
cago day" will be further celebrated
by those who desire to prove that there
are some silver men in the metropolis
Of the west. The silver demonstration
will commence at dusk, and the city is
thus insured some fifteen hours OF
political tempestousness.
To-day's parade was colossal af.
fair. Over 5000 voters were in line,
including the city council and the i'm
portant departments representing the
city offices. General Joseph Stockton
was chief marshal, and introduced an
innovation in having his aides on
wheels, instead of on horseback.
There we're seventy bands OF music,
many of which were imported from
other cities. The notices displayed
related solely to "sound money"
Irrational honor" "national credit"
irrational unity and "national pros
perity.''
Pickpockets took advantage of the
large crowd in front of the United
States express office, on Washington
street, at 10 :45 o. CLOCK and started a
fight. In the excitement, several wo-
men were robbed of their purses and
their screams started a panic, during
which three or four women tainted and
a number received slight bruises. The
parade stopped while the officers res
cued the fainting women and restored
order. Several arrests were made.
As the parade was passing the corn
or of Dearborn and Monroe streets at
noon, A. q. Walker, who Is employed
in furniture house and under the in
huence of liquor, drew loaded revol-
yer and began to shoot up at the win
dows, where ladies and children were
gathered, watching the parade. For
tunately, no one was hit, but panic
and crush resulted, during which
many women tainted. Walker was ar
rested. The fainting women were
taken into neighboring drug stores. At
noon, seven pickpockets had been ar
rested.

Considerable is being said relative

Judging from the demonstrations
of some of our most interested citi-

Dog" government prevails within

ceded that by gaining the good will

their teacher, rather than to regard
