Tbu republican campaign In Dotiglns county ended .Monday night with the moat remarkable political demonstration ever seen In Ncbranka. Never before was such a manifestation of public sentiment witnessed In Omaha. Sound money enthusiasm ran riot. It was echoed by the tramping feet of 16,000 voters marching under thu banner of McKlnley and MacColl. It gleamed In many torchon which seemed to popnliito the entire center of the city with scintillation stars. It rang In the shouts of the enthus iastic marchers ntul found response In the wild cheers of the thousands who lined the curbs and III led the windows of the build- InRs. It rose again In the Inspiring strains of twenty bands and filled the atmosphere with such lampant exuberance of patriotic sentiment us has not been known In presi dential campaigns since the American people ple faced the Issue of freedom for the slave. Nothing could be nioru significant than such a spectacle. It was not a parade ot thu ward workers mid professional poll- tlrlntiH. Hundreds of grey-haired men marched In the runks. who bad taken no ac tive part In politics for years. There were business men. bankers , lawyers , physicians and worklngmen who had never before par ticipated In such a demonstration. Hut last night they marched for three hours and helped to swell the parnde In proportions tions that emphatically Indicated that Doug las county will do Its duty In the great contest of today. The most sanguine anticipations of the republican managers were far exceeded. It had been expected that It would be the big gest demonstration ever seen In Omaha. Hut It wns more than that. It was fully twice as big as the biggest of previous years , and more than twice an enthusiastic. A dozen Fourth of July celebrations were concentrated 'n ' one tremendous burst of thunderous clamor. From the early evening until long af'tr thu parade was over the noise was deafening and Incessant. The cheers of the multitude were drowned In the blare of thousands of horns , the Inces sant fusillade of the shotgun brigades and the music of the bands. The city was ablaze with red IIro and the sky was lit by the ascending rockets and bombs. And In the midst of It all a candidate for the presidency came anil went , his advent as unnoticed as the chirp of a cricket beside , the thunder of n battery of twenty-pounders. CELEBRATION COMMENCES EARLY. Although the parade was delayed In order that Mr. Bryan might have the right of way to his hall the people begin to gather on the streets soon otter supper. They hung on the street cars by lingers , toes and eyelashes mid for a couple of haunt every downtown car was weighted to Its capacity. Most of the voters were congregating at their ward headquarters to march In the parade and their wives and daughters and sisters and sxveethearts came down town to stand on the sidewalks and cheer them as they passed. This was lit Itself a feature that would have been Impossible In an ordinary campaign. In the crowd on the streets were thousands of women , who seemed to be as thoroughly enthused as the men who marched past them. They cheered until they were hoarse and clapped their hands and waved their handkerchiefs. Many of them had horns and they stood on their toes and blew them as energetically as though the result ot the election depended on their Individual ef forts. Here and there a knot of Hryan shout- era bad congregated with the expressed In tention of Interfering with the parade. Ilut they changed their minds as the solid line of men marching from curb to curb tramped past them and the Immense army marched through the crowded streets without any material disorder. The pretence of a heavy detail of police contributed materially to this result. There were a half dozen active bluccoats on every corner and the prospect of a night In a cell was not encouraging to the few hoodlums who were disposed for trouble. Soon after 7 o'clock the various organlza lions began to form In divisions. It was a dllllcult task to mobilize such an army , but It was finally successfully accomplished Some of the clubs were a little out of their nselgncd order , but the constant exertions of the marshals brought them Into n better alignment than Is usually effected In a po litical parade. It was nearly 9 o'clock when Chief Marshal Prank E. Moorcs gave Un order to march and the heart of the proces tslon started from Eighteenth and Douglas streets. As It passed down Douglas street tin. ' various divisions filed Into line and for the flrnt time the Immensity of the affair became apparent. The men were massed as thickly as possible. The ranks marched In compact order and In many cases fifteen and twenty abreast. Even then the parade \ras nearly two miles long , and the head had passed back up Karnam , around the city hall and was countermarching at Sixteenth and Nicholas streets before the last division had fallen Into line on Douglas street. The parade was Just an hour In passing n given point and more than two hours In completing the line of march. IM1ICATKS M'KIXMSVS MAJORITY. CninliiK of tin * I'Mrxt Division CIvt'N an InlilliiK of yi - Hnil. As the long line of torches jiasscd up Far- natn street It afforded some Indication of what McKlnley's majority will bo In Omaha.

The N'oiipnrttean lenRiie marehed behind n blK trunsparency which bore their name nnd Included fully COO men Thin Included the wholesale dry goodu , Krocern and driiR men , who were commanded respectively by Cap tains A. r. Smith. 0. Allen nnd K. B. Ilniee. In the latter cnnc tht > employes of the Rich- ( trillion DniK company were conspicuous. They \verc nearly fifty PtroiiR , and were com- mnivled by Caplaln Voorstcrs. With them were also fully I no employes of the local banks nnd the employes of the jobbing shoo houses , under Captain C. R Hnywnrd. The Omaha Run club , with Captain M. O. Pctcis , was next In line , nnd It was one of the hottest nRRreRatlona In Blpht. There- were fllty of them , all clad In shooting Jackets and Floueh hats , nnd the Rcncral Im- presBlon that their approach created wns that n couple of hundred GatllnK Kims had been let loose In the nelRhborhood.

Drnnch , nnd carried red , whlto nnd blue lanterns sur mounted by linns. This wan one of the best features of the division. The lawyers were somewhat divided. One rank , \vhlch Included Senator Thurston , Gcn- ernl Mnnderson , John C. Whartim. U. S. Hall and half a dozen others , inarched near the head of the division , and others were scat tered through the other organizations. The physicians were In line to the number of fifty , iimlrr Dr. H. SaiiRlIn , nnd made as much noise as nny party could that was not equipped with shotRims. The Webster Um brella IlrlRnde , under Cnptaln W. A. Web ster , made an excellent nppcnrnnce , al though Bcarcclj linlf of them were In line , owing to n inlsundcrstandlnR as to their rendezvous. The Thurston club brought up the renr of the division In carriages nnd tnllyho coaches. They were equipped with mammoth horns and various other Instrti- menth of torture. nmonK which Charley Southard's laugh was conspicuous. Their gun club of twenty men marehed behind them and supplied whatever was lacking In the way of noise. There were comparatively few trans parencies In this division , but those that were carried were generally largo and prom inent. The commission men carried the sentiments. "Country Deforc Party" and "Citizenship Before Partisanship. " The In signia of the Thurston club was for the most part laudatory of Jack MacColl. It pro claimed "We Arc All for Jack MacColl. " "Jack MncColl Is for Oood Roads , " and -Omaha Will Prosper Under Jack MacColl. " STUOXf ! IX SOI XI ) SHXT1MKXT.S. ItiillroHil MIMI 1 n lie nn Important I'Vnliiri * of tli - Column. With the exception of the Omaha High School Uniformed cadets the second divis ion was Composed entirely of railway em ployes. The latter class attracted unusual attention , not alone because of their enor mous numbers , their fine appearance and their timely mottoes , but also 'jccause of the one-sided controversy regarding their division of the parade that the publisher of a free silver paper recently allnmuted to wugo with a Judge of the federal court. It Is not Haying too much In praise of the railroaders to state that their division wus the most notable In the entire procession. Oniclal rank and position were thrown aside for the evening , and freight traffic mana gers walked alongside of their clerks , gen eral solicitors with their stenographers and even general managers with their messen gers. gers.Frank Frank I ) . Brown , local treasurer of the Union Pacific , was marshal of this division , and he had every reason to bo proud of his fellow railroaders. They marched In ranks of four and kept close together. None was without designation of his political preference. Many carried canes with gold- colored Hags attached. Others had torches. Yellow chrysanthemums were common , and the Union Pacific employes wore largo yel low badges with " " "McKlnley and Hobart" In largo letters nbcve the handsome shield of the Overland route. Estimates of the number of railroaders In line ran as high ns 1,000 , and SOO Is an exceedingly con servative figure. The clever and appropriate Mottoes on the transparencies of the railWay - Way division were n feature of the parade. Someof them were as follows : "Fifty-Cent Dollars Don't Go with Us " "Great Bargain Sale of Silver at J1.2D per Ounce : Como Up nnd Uuy , Dear People" "We Are Coerced , Nit. " " 1C to 1 Job" "Sound Money and Prosperity Have the Right of Way. " "Main Line Sound Money Side Track Free Silver. " "Safe Track and Sound Roadbed to Washington.

" Marshal Frank Brown led his fellow railroaders readers on n handsome steed , and was Im mediately preceded by the Ancient Order of United Workmen band , B. C. Bell , leader. Then came the representatives of the Elkhorn's various departments , from General Freight Agent MorehouBO down to the olllce boys , nnd not n one of them looked as though ho were coerced. They were followed by the Missouri Pacific em ployes , with Assistant General Freight and Passenger Agent Phllllppl In the lead , all enthusiastic for nn honest dollar and & clianco to earn it. Then came the Union I aclfio men. and a mighty host they were. They came from the executive offices , the freight , the passenger , the legal , the land and the euBlneerliiK departments. Freight Trclllc Manager Miinroe , Assistant General freight Agent Wood , Division Freight Agent Une , General Solicitor Kelly. Chief Engineer IVgram , Auditor of Disburse ments Anderson and Superintendent Korty of the telegraphic department were among tlio Union Pacific men In line. There wcro shop men. too , by the score , and the freight IIOUBO was well represented , In fact , the major part of this division appeared to represent the Overland route , W. B. Reid and 0. E. Wilson were largely ro- Bponslblo for the thorough organization , nnd W. H. Hntteroth and I , R , Van Tuyl acted as assistant marshals. Marshals W. J. Robinson and J , Ander son rode line horses at the head of the Bur lington's division , and they were followed by n fine lot of men , B. O. Brandt acted as assistant marshal. The employes from the shops at Havelock , organized as a flam beau club , under the command' of Captain Blake , made a good appearance. As they were the only railway men who were uni formed , their appearance lu the middle of tuo division had a plvaulnic effect. They wort- Attired In whlto units nnd wore whlto leggings , ami marched In splendid form , The mcr. from the freight house nnd the railroad yards carried lanterns , rows of whlto lanterns alternating with rows of red lanterns , All the B , & M. employes from General Manager Holdrego to Charley Mnrlcy , the office boy of General Solicitor Manderson , appeared to bo In line , A hundred High school cadets wearing whlto capes nnd bearing torches followed the railway men. They wcro under the command of Clarence Thtiraton , nnd pre sented n good appearance. They marched well , and along the line of march drew forth some applause by a number of pretty drills.

Hypes and Lieu tenants C. H. Coffccn and George Trey nor , followed. Then came the Union Veteran League Re publican club , 500 strong , under the leader ship of Major J. S. Miller. They marched In ranks of four and wcro close together. Many wore their Grand Army of the Re public uniforms , and the number of Ameri can Hags In this _ part of the parade was sufficient to Indlca'to the character of the men composing It. Under tno command of J. W. Cress about fifty old soldiers from South Omaha marched with their comrades of this city. A hundred Sorrs of Veterans followed the boys of 'Cl. The old soldiers and the Junior patriots were preceded by the Kennedy fife and drum corps. The Fourth Ward Republican club , led by John 0. Kuhn , turned out COO men strong and completed the third division. Dr. W. H. Hatichett was marshal of the fourth division , and was assisted In handling the 1,800 men who followed him by Captain John Buchanan , Captain John Mathleson , John Anderson and Frank Franzel. The South. Omaha cornet baud furnished the music for Iho first part of this division. H was followed by the First Ward llohcmlau club , under command of Karl Stephen. There were 300 In this club and all carried torches The display of several transparanelcs was conclusive evidence that the Bohemians of the First ward will not vote for free silver oday. Captain John Mathleson looked like a soldier nn ho rode on horseback at the head of the Danish Republican club , which turned out 250 strong. The F. T. Franek Bohemian band marched nt the head of the 300 employes of the Wil low Springs Distillery company. P. E. Her acted aa captain of this ecctlon , nnd wns assisted by Fritz Wells and Peter Boysen. Twenty-five of the employes succeeded In making considerable noise with ns many guns. There were many Interesting and significant mottoes on the transparencies that these workmen carried.

The Second Ward Bohemian Republican club , under command of Frank Franzel and Frank Urban , followed with 300 voters for McKlnley , and completed the fourth divi sion of the parade a division that was more remarkable for strength than for the bril liancy of Us clubs' uniforms.

The Fifth division was composed of u monster contingent from the county outside of Omaha , and must have struck terror to the hearts of the Bryan lies , who have counted on the country precincts to cut down McKlnley's majority In this county. CountIng - Ing In South Omaha's delegation , there was at least 1,800 men In the body , a conserva tive estimate. A number of Interested poli ticians , who were desirous of discovering the exact nature of McKlnley's strength In the outlying district , maintained that by actual count 2,000 voters wcro In the line. The body was marshaled by James Walsh , Bert Wllcox and Henry A. Nolle. With the exception of the South Omaha contingent. It was largely composed of the farming ele ment of the county , the members of which were very enthusiastic from the time that they marched through the streets to their rallying point until the line was dlsbaiulcd. Their cheers for McKlnley resounded more vigorously. If that la possible , than those of any other section of the parade. A noticeable feature of this section was the prevalence of banners upon which were In scribed mottoes of agricultural character. Almost every one of the precinct clubs carried a banner or Illumination , upon which was depicted farm products of various kindj. especially corn and wheat , surrounded by the words , "The Farmers Are for Mc Klnley , " or "The Farmers Are for Mac- roll. " The division was headed by the Papllllon Cornet band , nn excellent inimical organiza tion. It led the delegation from Pnpllllon of about 175 voters , nil carrying torches The body was captained by I. D. Clark. The Gllmore McKlnley club was directly behind. It was represented by some sixty members. There wns no regular captain , as It Joined lUclf with the other country precinct organizations.

The body was under the command of C. II. WItte. Behind came the club of Chicago pre cinct with some 100 more men In line. A transparency which threw out the un equivocal republican sentiment of the or ganization was carried high In the air. McArdle precinct was on hand with about forty men. They were captained by Jerome Allen. For any lack of numbers they made up fully In enthusiastic cheers and shouts all along the line of march. Seventh-five men were In line to repre sent Jefferson precinct , and were com manded by Captain P. Maimold. Elk City had another seventy-five In the line , who were as wildly ctnhuslastlu as any In the parade. The command of this section was Invested In Clint Williams.

It was In the van of 17D mem bers of the Valley McKlnley club. The body was commanded by Captalr. Frank Whitman. The Waterloo representation was unique from the fact that It had the only exclu sively feminine organization In the parade. This feature consisted of twelve members of the Woman's McKlnley club of Waterloo. The pretty young women were clad In dark dresses , but each wofo a uniform white cape that bare a similitude to lace. The body was commanded by Captain A. R , McDou- gall. The1 young women acted as the escort cert for the Waterloo Republican club , which had In line 175 men. They wore under the direction of B. Hopper and A. C. Robinson. The delegation was bended by the Waterloo band , a body of considerable size. East Omaha Is small In number of popu lation when compared with other portions of the county , but nevertheless It brought sev enty-five men Into line. The division was headed by Captain 0. C. Lazarus. A num ber of banners wcro carried. Sixty more men wore aent by West Omaha precinct , who were commanded by Captain G. R. Williams. The last of the county precinct clubs was the Douglas County McKlnley club , which carried more of the farmers' mottoes. There wcro seventy-five mcu In line , captained by George Henry , South Omaha hag been considered the Bryan stronghold In this county , but Its representation of fully COO voters seemed to vivo the llo to the claim. That wa the number which formed the delegation from the Packing Ho'u7e'"clty The body wns tinder the command of Colonel A. L. l.ott , who wns also ono of the assistant marshals of the parade. The organisations carried a considerable number of striking mottoes upon their banners and transparencies Among them were : " 4-11-11 l better than Ifi to 1 , " Swecct Sixteen to One Nil , " "Tho Four M's , Four !

The organization ren dered the splendid music which has built up Us reputntlon In the city during ( he past months. The band bended lue handsome Webster Flambeau club , which turned out with Its full number of 100 men. The boys made a striking showing on the streets In their pretty uniforms of white , decorated with dark braid. The flambeaux were blown several times In each block , flaring high In the air and Illuminating the streets for blocks. The military precision with which the body marched and executed maneuvers wns exceptional. The body marched In two divisions , one under commnlid of Cnptaln F. B. Mlllnr nnd the other under Captain George Sues. Major William B. TcnEyck was the commanding olllcer. Between the two companies John L. Webster marched on foot , escorted by the members of the John L.

The Swedish Military band , which has been the musical feature of the meetings of the Swedish clubs of the city , marched at the head of the column of Swedes. The two bodies , the Swedish-American Garfield club and the Swedish-American Republican club , were out with a goodly portion of the mem bership. Both carried a largo number of banners , the watchword on which wns "The Swedes Are for Protection nnd Sound Money.

Impromptu AiIilrcHNCN front tinIte - vlt-wliiK SI n ml Tlc-lile it Tliroiiur. By 10 o'clock a largo concourse had worked Its way toward the reviewing stand erected at Fifteenth and Douglas streets. A number of prominent politicians had been escorted to the stand by Marshal Moore to review the returning parade , among them being Senator Thurston and John C. Whar- ton. After the parade had passed louC calls were made for Senator Thurston. Mr Thurs ton responded by saying : My Fellow Citizens : It IH utterly Impos sible for me to talk to you tonight. 1 have used my voice up and there IB not much left of me tonight , except my vote , which I will cust tomorrow ; but thnt will go to make ono of that mag'iHItciint majority which will elect Major MeKlnlpy our next president. ( Cheers. ) I time bnck from mnklng upeecheH In nineteen otntes of this union and I come to Bay to you that tomorrow you will hear offfo.very northern Htnto going for McKlnley exyciitithe live "silver" states. ( Renewed cheers ) There Is one thing that the American people have already nettled : the American people have alrciiily settled It thnt labor ilouii for the people of the United States shall bo done by our own people under the stars nnd stripes. ( Cheer ing. ) The American people have also set tled ono other question-that when this labor Is done It phall bo paid In the bt-st money. Now , tonlifht I bid you godspeed for the morrow. Wo have shown tonight wlmt the city of Omaha can do , ( A voice In the erowd : "Hurrah for Bryan , " answered by groans and hlBses. ) 'i on may yell that , but It will bo only for twenty- four bourn. This Is the United Statcw and that Is the reawin why w can never elect any ono president who appeals to claBS prejudice to elect him. The American people ple always ntlly nrouml their line. When ever their Hag In trailed In the diiBt they coma to the front with Hplcmlld majorities , You have had your time to yell tonight ; fellow citizens tomorrow Is the day for splendid majorities for McKlnley. In response to calls for John 0. Wlmrton , Mr. Wharton said he had never before wit- lirascd such enthusiasm and patriotism slnco the daya of 18C1 , when the men of the north left everything to fight for the Has. Ho concluded ; Tomorrow you will rally for American honor , you will rally your BtrctiBth for American protection and 111 favor of that greatest of all Americana , William Mc Klnley of Ohio. Go to Hleep tonight cherish- liif the uatno ciithualuam which you have shown this evening1 nnd tomorrow wo will hnvo rt ninjorlty In Douglas eounty of (5.WO ( republican votes.

W. H. Thorpe , the "tramp orator , " war i-a- pM by the crowd riding lu n rttrt along with the large American e le wlilrh Imd been carried In the procomion and was called upon for a spei-oh. He declared th.it the parade was one taiH ROUR ! to show that the republicans nre In n position to any "wo have met the enemy nnil they nro ours. " The question before the pcoplo Is the ques tion of the triumph of labor over mob law. " \Vo will stand tomorrow , " henald. . "with the stnr-spni.gled banner over our h"itda. Wo mils * , cast our voles as the n.v.lon did In 1SGO. " The speaker said that he would follow Hryan throughout election day about Lincoln , speaking lu every plnco Hrjitn bad , directly nfter him. Remarks were also made by F. Davis , a colored man. who pledged the vote of his raceto MoKlnloy. He naltl Bryan could not win over the colored people to the Bryan doctrine ilryati might fool the populists , but he could not fool the colored vote , which he said will glvo McKlnloy 1,600,000 votes. In spite of the coolness of the air. 'linking It disagreeable to listen to out-of-door spnak- Ing , theerowd applauded the speakers lustily , nnd wound up by giving three tre mendous cheers for McKlnley.

Chief Slgwart ordered both the night and day forces to report for duty , In the down town districts , and at S o'clock nearly 100 offtcorn weic patrolling Douglns , Farnatn , Homey and the Intersecting thoroughfares. The blggeflt Jams occurred at the corners of Six teenth and Farnam and Sixteenth and Doug las streets. Eight men were stationed on Farnam and Sixteenth , and part of the time there were flve at Sixteenth and Douglas. The crowd was thoroughly good natured and with the exception of a gang of free sllverltea who had imbibed too much liquid enthusi asm to be consistent with good conduct , who congrogntcd nt Sixteenth nnd Karnam , nothing marred the passing of the big parade. . \Vlillo-ono of the sections of the parade was parsing down Fifteenth street , near Douglas , on Its way to the starting point , n wagon driven by n reckless driver , ran over a stranger and knocked him violently to the pavement. He scrambled to his feet and seemed uninjured. Ills name could not bo learned. As the Continental Drum corps , which led the parade , was passing Sixteenth and Doug las streets a small boy named Andrew Nel son , who was catching a ride behind the carriage of D. C. Sutphen , was thrown to the ground 'by the sudden frightening of the- home. Ho was picked up In a badly bruised condition and It was found he had sustained a number of cuts about the head and face. He was taken to the station , where his In juries were attended , ahd later removed by Mr. Sutphen to his home , at 4301 Miami street. A number of rowdies persisted In yelling for the "Boy Orator of the Platte , " nnd one of them , giving the name of Ed Porter , catching sight of the yellow ribbon worn by Police Clerk Schwenk ns he stood on the corner of Sixteenth and Douglas street , struck him over the head with a heavy stick. Porter was promptly arrested nnd taken ta the station , where he was charged with assault and battery. A number of minor fights occurred , but only a few of the combatants were caught by the police. About 10:30 : , while Karnam street was crowded to Its full capacity ns far east as Tenth street , an alarm of lire was turned In from the residence of Mrs. A. L. Rice , 170S Douglas street. The downtown engine companies were obliged to make the run through the dense crowd and as they dashed up Farnam street the crowd was wcnttered to the sidewalks , while the ponderous ap paratus sped by. No one was Injured , and the fire , which originated In the roof from the blazing balls , of a skyrocket , proved of slight consequence. OMAHA LIVE STOCK MARKET SOt'TII OMAHA.
