The first coaching parade Of the William
s. Devery Association was held last night
| and the residents Of the Ninth Assembly
district voted it a SUCCESS.
The pump corner. at Eighth avenue ane
Twenty-eighth street. has had many a
big gathering since Devery broke into
politics, but the crowd last night surpassed
them all. To add to the confusion. Twenty.
eighth street between Eighth and Ninth
avenues was lined on both sides with han
som cabs, while Eighth avenue for two
blocks in either direction had all sorts OF
vehicles to carry the Deveryites.
Each parader got white cap and horn
before the start. Roundsman Bergman
and squad of mounted men led the march
and Devery followed in an open carriage
With him was his blyman, Dick
Butler. After Devery came a band rid
ing on a tally-ho, making an ear-splittinR
noise playing Mr.. Devery,"
Then came other tally hes, stages, trucks
express wagons and two pony carts. In
the parade were fifty-seven hanson cabs
Every vehicle was draped with bunting
and Autographs. The Autographs bore
the picture Of the Peerless Leader. William,
S. Devery.'
The parade went up Eighth avenue as far
as Fifty-ninth street, then west to Tenth
avenue and then south. Before It ended
every street in the district had q chance to
view the parade, which ended where it
started. at the Pump cor.
There were about a thousand men in line
and many children had free rides on the
trucks. For some reason many Of the ham
and the tally-hoe were crowded. On one
immense ten-horse stage there were more
than 100 men.
There were four bands in the parade
and they only played sMr Devery" and
-Hiawatha' Before the paraders would
disperse Devery was obliged to make a
speech. He reminded them that the pri--
said that he expected to poll a larger vote
than he had last year. Then he said:
Another gent with a split tail-Mr.
William Aston Chanler--has come into this
district to mix in. He's carpet dagger
Just like Tom Smith. Them two are too
lonesome to be wicked. They accuse me
of holdin' hands with the Republican party.
I'm Democrat and always will be one.
But I believe in home rule without the in
reference of Fourteenth Street.
Mr. Chanler may be all right leadin'
a cotillon, but he reminds me OF the goods
you seldom buy. He came to my base
ment door and wanted me to stand for his
running as a nonresident Congressman.
He said If I'd give him my delegates, he
wouldn't Cross the threshold of Tammany
Hall again.
He accuses me Of sellin' out to the Re-
publicans and dom business with Post
master Van Colt. I Jaw Van Colt day
before yesterday. an got a young man g
salary raised. The young man lives in
this district and supports his mother and
two sisters. That's the business I did
with Van Colt.
"Chanler hates to see the people get
what's comm to EN-. I believe In gettin'
all that's comm to you. Now, l m gon'
to send Chanler an old-fashioned carpet
bag and tell him ter to back to the woods.
Here it is
Then Big Bill" produced the real article
in the way Of carpet bag and the crowd
went wild.
The Goodwinites held an open air meet
ing last night at Ninth avenue and Twenty
fifth street. At no time were there more
than 200 men listening to the speeches
Tom Smith, secretary OF Tammany. was
the principal speaker.
