At II meeting of the general com

Mems Republican Club the route was
changed in such Il way as to move the
parade through the east side by way Of
Poplar, Tenth and Pine streets. The

Chairman Horace G. Knowles last
night in speaking of the change of route
in order to have the parade more along
the east side streets said: There is no
part of the city entitled to more con
sideration than the Republicans of the
east side and that their loyalty to the
lparty and readiness to always give good
and substantial majorities entitle them
to every honor and consideration we
could in II matter of this kind show them.
| ! know them to be Il greatful people and
their appreciation of this change will be
shown the night of the parade by their
enthusiasm and decorations"
The purpose Of announcing the route
so early is to enable the people residing
on it to have ample time to abtain their
decorations and beautify the parade
streets. A novel feature of the parade
will he the illumination of the streets
from the side instead Of depending on
the lights and red fire carried by the
pnraders.

Mr.. Cornelius w. Taylor, acting for w.
n. Barnard, chairman of the transporta-
tion committee, reported at the meeting

City. Over the w. & N. to Coatesville
and perhaps to Reading and over the
Il. Il o. to Lnndenburg and Singerly.
These special trains will leave Whining
