A Sorry Spectacle.

Not to be outdone by the Republicans,
the Democrats made closing demonstra-
practically the same line of march used
by the Republicans in the afternoon. Com
paratively it was sorry spectacle, for
despite the fact that the Liberty Drum
Corps beat rally for more than an hour
before the parade. there were less than
200 who were finally mustered into the line
of march. 1t was the intention to have
speakers drop out of the parade and adj
dress street-corner audiences, but the oc-
casion was rare when enough people had
congregated on the corners to constitute
a crowd. Those who marched in the pro-
cession were members of the Gray Club
and Cleveland Club.
