disappointment of all interested in the
parade held under the auspices of the
Business Mems Republican and Sound
Money Association to-day's weather
was very unpleasant. The early morn
ing opened with cold rain falling and
the streets were in bad condition for
the marchers. Governor Roosevelt, the
reviewer of the parade. arrived in New
York at 8 o'clock and breakfasted at
the Lawyers Club.
The streets along the line of march
were beautifully decorated. The down
town section of Broadway was a blaze
of color from the enormous number of
flags displayed. In some of the sky
scrapers each window displayed the
stars and stripes, and in each block
from the Battery to Fourteenth street
there was a large flag bearing the
names of Mckinley and Roosevelt.
Along the line of March were wooden
! poles about % or 80 feet in height
erected by the Democrats, on which
there were such sentences as THE
Trusts Can Make You March But Can
not Make You Vote Against Bryan"
This Is Trust Parade and Not Re-
publican Parade"
On some of these poles were portraits
of Bryan and Stevenson. Each of the
| poles was guarded by policeman.
After breakfasting Governor Roose-
welt went to the Produce Exchange.
| where he was given reception. In
| response to repeated calls for a speech,
Governor Roosevelt said:
Gentlemen: l shall not attempt to
| make a speech. L shall merely say
how glad l am to see you. In this con-
| test we appeal to all good citizens and
| not to party lines. That is our idea
| throughout"
General McCook, Grand Marshal of
| the procession and his staff at the
| Produce Exchange, at the close of the
| reception, the line started up Broad
| way. The route was Broadway to
Waverley Place, to Fifth avenue. to
Fortieth street. The reviewing stand
was at Madison Square The formation
| of the parade consisted of single pla-
toons of sixteen files front including
| right and left guide and each platoon
| was commanded by a citizen.
The first business organization in the
| line was the Wholesale Dry Goods Re-
publicans, which marched in sixteen
sections. They were followed by repre-
| sentatives of the clothiers, merchant
tailors, retail dry goods men, the haber-
| dashers. milliners, matters, florists
| builders. the paper trade. the coal
trade the shoe trade, the cotton and
coHee exchanges, the tobacco trade. the
| furniture trade, the hide and leather
trade the Bankers and Brokers Repub-
mean sound Money Club, and in fact
representatives of practically every
| branch of business in the city.
When Governor Roosevelt arrived at
the Battery there was prolonged cheer
ing. he was accompanied by First
| Vlce-President Charles Homer. Second
| wee President Frank Brainard and
| secretary E. A. Drake, of the Commit
tee which had arranged to-day's de-
monstration. The Governor seemed
10 be in excellent spirits and bowed
repeatedly in acknowledgment of the
| reception. ZIG
