ebe Portrait ot Garfield Grant Arthur and Conkling were loudly cheered Indeed it was a great feature of the occasion that the enthusiasm and applause on tho part of those who viewed the procession were quite equal to those expressed by men in the lino Hanoek mbn Were evidently tcaico certainly quit and subdued only making them Eelves beard mincers and jeers as negroes pusbd The representatives of different trades andprofessions in the line were the most enthusiastically cheered and seemed to show in this respect the draft of popular sentiment Altogether it was a decided encouragement to

surabl the dtmontrntion of lllt night was on all sides conceded l not only a great tuccots but the mo t remarkable and noteworthy of its kind which the city ever witnessed Toe procession itself was not only remarkable for the number of percent and all men at that who took active part in it but for the character of those who encode in this way to show their ardent regard for republican pripcipes Among the men who took part in the procession and who honored themselves no less than the cause they espoused by their presence were members of very many of the fore mOlt firms of tinkers brpkers produce merchant dry goods and carpet morJ cbants and others whose names are among the best known in various commercial com-mercial callings The procession itself was full mtereting features Themarch ing was very much better than is usual in the turn out of civilians The uniforms uni-forms of the men wero tastefully and sufficiently varied to avoid tho reproach of sameness which is so often the casein case-in demonstrations of this kind The music was exceptionally good every firscla s band of the city and neighborhood neighbor-hood appearing in the line There was a sufficient number of very bright calcium cal-cium lights in the procession to furnish a glare which is regarded as in separable from afFairs of the kind Frequent discharges dis-charges of fireworks also assisted in making the scenes more pleasant and varied the eyennd the hearty cheering of the paraders was something worth listening to Tho crowds of spectators were enormous The Times comments thus The Tammany Tam-many parliament had its uses in showing the kind of men and boys who are supposed sup-posed to desire a change in the national administration Lat night the republican repub-lican panda was a very impressive demonstration on the pert of those who think no change necessary To an impartial im-partial or doubting voter no contrast could be much moro instructive than between the straggling lines of hard featured democratic processionists and the compact wellordered ranks of COOCO intelligent lawabiding citizens who made so imposing A display last night of tir unalterable devotion to republican iciplc Tammany exhibited ex-hibited to Dew York the kiad of popular sovereignity which is represented by the corner loafer and the rowdy The republicans repub-licans showed the sovereign people who are the custodians of our morality our education our commerce The least reflective re-flective observer might infer the nature of the change which would attend th Eubititulion of Tammany ragteg arid b
