Before landing the Queen, who looked
remarkably well, asked for a bunch of
shamrocks. These were obtained, and
throughout the day she wore them pinned
upon her breast.
The most interesting ceremony of the
day took place at the city limits, where an
ancient gate and castle towers had been
reproduced for the occasion. On the city
side were the Lord Mayer and Council in
their scarlet robes, the mace-bearers In
blue and silver, and several hundred oft
~best-known Irish, who were provided with
seats or the stands.
Thousands Of spectators eagerly awaited
the coming OF the Queen. Shortly before
ing a gorgeous cape OF Royal Heraldry,
galloped up to the Lord Mayor aud asked
permission for the entrance of the Queen.
Gravely, and In 4uaintly worded terms Of
courtesy. the Lord Mayor granted the re-
quest. Back galloped the Pursnivant-at-
Arms, the gate banging behind him.
Although the aged beefeaters, rugged out
for the occasion with costumes from the
.Gatety Theatre, could scarcely totter
around. the whole scene was q counterpart
OF sixteenth century play.
Ihen from the rampartso or the gate came
a fanfare OF trumpets. The Queen was in
sight. Out upon Q scarlet cloth, laid
~aielgn-iike upon the muddy road, stepped
the Lord Mayor and the Corporation, their
robes glowing In the bright sunshine and
tneir wanos ana maces flashing brilliantly.

to $4,000 Democrats who voted for
Cleveland in 1892 changed around In
1896
The larger proportion of these in 1898
returned to their party, for In that year
Van Wyck, as candidate for governor,
received 173,476 votes. But 1t is evident
to every observer that this year a
great number of Democrats still stand
where they did in 1896. Then Mckinley
carried Manhattan and Bronx by 20,7Sa
and it will take a large return of sound
money Democrats to the fold to over-
come that plurality and give Bryan q
majority of even 10000. The high wat
er mark of the Democratic vote In
Manhattan and Bronx was In 1892.
when. with the business men and
workingmen behind him, Cleveland
carried the old city by $4,000 plurality
and the state by $4,000. Only the return
of the entire sound money vote which
deserted Bryan In 1896 could restore
the Democratic vote to the figures of
eight years ago, and that seems Inn
possible Even in 1888 Cleveland pollsd

less than he got in 1892. and even that
immense vote. which gave him S1.0oe
plurality. was not enough to carry
the state. Inasmuch as Kings county
