NEW YORK , Oct. 31. A mighty host tramped up Broadway today. The tramp of the tons of thousands of feet will echo through history. Republicans and gold Btandard democrats lined up to form the greatest procession that has over been wit- < nes ed In the city of Now York There was no glitter of burnished helmets , no flaahlng of bayonets ; no clank of swords , Its only arms were a hundred thousands flags the stars and Htrlpes ! the red. white and blue. On Its banners were "Sound Money. " "Mc- Klnlcy and Hobart" The great army of j voters , -.arlously estimated from 86.000 to 330,000 , was composed of men In almoJl every walk of life. The procession began to move somewhere In the v-lclnlty of 10 o'clock a. m. , and without a halt or break tit any kind , marching at a rapid pace , tt | i was not until about eight hours later that Tin end Jicjl passed The reviewing Bland That army marched past hundreds of thousands of persons 'who ' gathered on the sidewalks , stairways , ot back windows , on stands everywhere they could got which commanded a view. The parader.s were filled with earnest en thusiasm. Their banners proclaimed their principles The sound money army In cluded men who arc known from one end of the country to the other Lawyers who nro tboi leaders In their profession marched v-lth the porters In the buildings wbero their olllces are. The merchant tprlneo tramped with his truckman The great bank ers and their messengers were In the same lank. H was truly a business men's parade It moved with that precision which Is the * Krcat law of buslnobs It was forwcd with out confusion It moved on time and with out Interruption. H disbanded without dis order The procession moved forward at times at tlio rate of M OitO men an hour The head of the prffcmlon passed tl > o rev letting stand , on which were Vice Presidential Candidate Garret A. Hobart m d Governor Morton , at 10 55 It was ox- nr , ; seven hours and tblrt > minutes In I > p.i.Miig tliat point. In point of numbers the Wholesale Dry Goods Republican club was far In the lend , having I'l.OOO men In line. The Central Dry Goods McKlnley and Hobart association had S 000 , nnd the Paper and Associated trades THO' ) more The col- k lij'os were represented by some 3.00) stu dents , whllo fully as many as thlrtv-llvo or forty Industries were each represented by thousands of men. Tonight thn town Is Illuminated and the streets crowded with the tens of thou- Rinds , whoso enthusiasm was not checked by their efforts of the day. BUSINESS IS SUSPENDED. Practically no business was done In the mercantile establishments , the interest In the mammoth demonstration obliging those who nro not In n > mpathy with the repub lican cause to suspend operations for the ilay. The parade was to have begun at 9 30 a. m , but owing to the great number com prising It thcro was considerable delay In getting under way. Hours and hours before there was any chance of the advance guard of the great parade appearing the sidewalks en either sldo of the streets named In the match wrre scarcely pa.ss.ib'.e At the points whore the reviewing stands had been erected , people congregated In < ! ve-r widening circles. Street cars were stopped early , and drivers of wagons found that they had lo maije lengthy detours to reach their destinations But It was down town along Broadway nnd the streets that sin teli east and west ( rom It. that the presa was greatest. It w-afc In this section when ) the IS.'i.OOO paraders gathered that the first realisation came of how gigantic the gather ing was Just before the start the confusion was nupicmc Thousands In the buildings wondered how the parader.s and spectators could ever be separated The multitude that Jammed Btoadway from wall to wall was like n sea which moved from sideto side , nwcpt down obstacles and obliterated the familiar sight of show wlndmvj Whenever a mounted officer of the parade attempted to force his horeo through those who looked on , nntmal and man wore swallowed up as though they had plunged Into water Instead of humanity. And above all the motion there arose the thunder of voices and the ' blare of musical Instruments , that made * the ncenc more bewildering , moro wonderful , moie real than the cltj has seen In many a day. SOME OF THE DECORATIONS Along the route of the big parade , from the Battery to Fortieth street there was a lavish display of flags and bunting The spectacle presented on Bioadway and Fifth avenue exceeded an > thing of the kind ever witnessed In this city M > rlads of American Hags of nil sizes and thousands of yards of bunting tastefully nrra > od fluttered In the breeze from the roofs , windows and dcor- v.a > s of the buildings on the line of march.

In every largo city In the United States the stars and stripes were dlsplajed by the side of Mc Klnley and Hobart lithographs as an Indi cation that the patriotic sentiment of the people Is for ' .sound money , protection and piospcrlty. " They placarded the business blocks and were draped In patriotic profusion from the windows of residences Even the farmers caught up the sentiment , nnd along the country roads the InsUnla of the republicanism of IstG was conspicuous In the windows of the farm houses. The Idea was orlglirted l > > Chairman Mark Ilanna of the republican national committee and was promulgated October 17 In the following proclamation "Tho American flag has been In the present campaign the emblem or Insignia of national honoi Its Influence has been for great good In the cause of a good people Its display in man > cases has been potent In the advancement of the country's battle for the maintenance of Its honor at home and abroad ' I therefore suggest that Saturday Octo ber 31 , all who Intend to vote November 3 'or the preservation of our national honor , for sound money and the advancement of the people's Interests and general prosper ity , display the national colors at their homes , their places of business , and wher ever they may bo seen in order that the- voters whoso hearts are for their conntrj may bo strengthened In their purpose , and those who are undetermined may the more patriotically and Intelligent ! } conclude how best to perform their duty as citizens " The Judgment of Mr Ilanna was immedi ately endorsed b > the chairman of the popo- eratle national committee , who Issued a similar proclamation to his followers The result Is now everwhere apparent As the sentiment of the * voters Is expressed in the windows of Omaha , It is for .McKlnley by thrco times 10 to 1 All through the busi ness district and on the residence streets the same proportl n may be observed Few houses are without some Indication of the Fcntinumts of their occupants , and the Brjan decorations are so few as to bo scarcely noticeable. In a trip over some of the ptlnclpal streets of the city jcsterday mornIng - Ing a Bee icportcr kept accurate tally of the flags and lithc raplu which adorned the windows The result was 475 of the sound money emblems and thirteen linan lithographs The demand for these decorations has been something extraordinary , and Is a striking Indication of the aroutod sentiment that U In evidence In this campaign.

The last ono had been given out before many pcoplo knew that they were to bo obtained There is a humorous side to the display which arises from the existence of a decided dlffereneo of opinion In some families In regard to the Issue There is a horth side family In which the husband Is an ardent Bryan shouter. Hla wife happens to have better Judgment , and e-arl > In the campaign they agreed to differ. They got along with out an open declaration ot war until the other day when the head of the family brought homo a lot of Dijnn lithographs and proceeded to display them from every window In the house This v'as too much for his long suffering helpmate to stand , and with the aEslstanco of the milk man she secured a supply of .McKlnley flags When her lord came homo In the afternoon he found the flags had superseded the lltho- graphtt , and then there ua.s trouble.
