Banne s.

parade held under the auspices of the
Business Mems Republican and Sound
Money Association today's weather was
very unpleasant. The early morning
opened with cold rain falling and the
streets were in bad condition for the
marchers. Governor Roosevelt, the re-
viewer Of the parade, arrived In New
York at s o'clock.
The streets along the line of march
were beautifully decorated. The down
town section of Broadway was blaze
of color from the enormous number OF
flags displayed.
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 por-
traits of Bryan and Stevenson. Eacn
of the poles was guarded by a police
men.
The first business organization in the
line was the Wholesale Dry Goods Re.
publicans. which marched in sixteen
sections. They were followed by rep.
resentatives Of the clothiers, merchant
tailors, retail dry-goods men, the paper
trade, the coal trade, the shoe trade,
the shoe trade, the cotton and coffee
exchanges, the tobacco trade, the fur
niture trade, the hide and leather trade.
the bankers and Brokers Republican
and Sound Money Club and in fact rep-
resentatives of practically every
branch Of business in the city.
The honor Of having the largest
number OF men in line was claimed by
the wholesale dry-goods trade, their
marshal estimating that the numbered
$4,000 men.
When Governor Roosevelt arrived at
the Battery there was prolonged cheer
ing. The Governor seemed to be in cx-
cellent spirits and bowed repeatedly in
acknowledgement OF the reception.
After about Is minutes delay the
head of the line started, with the can
didate for ce-Presidency In an open
barouche. The Governor declined to
shield himself from the rain, saying
that he could stand 1t better than the
thousands who were to march.
The Governor stood up to acknow-
ledge the greetings of the crowd.
1t seems to take something worse
than an ordinary rainstorm to damp
en- sound money crowd" he said, as
the procession started away from the
Produce Exchange.
The immense crowds which were eX-
pected to gather in and around the re-
viewing stand, in Madison Square
early in the morning had appeared a;
1890 o'clock. The drizzling rain
which had fallen for hours had soaked
the seats In the stand and gave the
stand and gave the decorations a beG'
raggled appearance. The committee In
charge of arrangements, hopeful Gi
fine weather, had made no preparations
Tor adverse conditions, therefore n;
means We're at hand of erecting sheit
ering canopy over the seats.
Within less than u block Of the spo
where the Governor was to take nj,
seat as reviewing officer, was stretchc'
one of the many strips of muslin pu
up by Tammany hall and bearing tn,
words They May Make Me Parade
but They Can't Make Me VOTE Against
Bryan"
| This was stretched across Fifth av
enue at Twenty-siXth street and lik,
all the others, was guarded by a police
man instructed to keep anyone iron
damaging 1t or tearing II down. A
10:45 the big stand, designed to hoiI
5000 persons, contained less than
third of that number.
A big banner was stretched In from
OF the stand from street across Fiji
avenue, bearing President Mckinley
words to the late ex-Mayor Strong:
We know no class distinction Il
this fair land Of ours.
Colonel Roosevelt reached the stan,
at exactly IL o'clock. He stood In hi
carriage and waved his hat right an
left TO the shouting throngs.
By this time the first band, playin
an inspiring air, reached the stand
The vacant seats had rapidly filled u
and the long review of the huge com
mercial army commenced.
The men who filled past the stand
in a quickstep, barred their heads DIES
pite the dripping rain and the Govern
or in return, did the same.
} Hello, Teddy" Three cheers 10
our next yice-president," You're al
right" were the shouts that greete
Governor Roosevelt The continuou
cheering, mingled with the music {
the bands, made a din at the reviewin
stand that drowned all other sound
