Spectacular Demonstrations in, Presiden- | tial Campaigns. The first time that there were any demonstrations of a spectacular order {n a presidential campaign was in 1840, when miniature log cabins were drawn on wagons in the Whig, processions, escorted by companies of men in coon- skin caps, and some in the garb cf In- dians, all of which were suggested by the early life of the candidate, William Henry Harrison. Companies of men dressed as pioneers appeared in the Fremont processions in the campaign of 1856, and “prairie schooners” were a feature of those demonstrations, illus- trating phases in the life of the Path- finder of the Rockies and the Sierra Neyadas. In 1860 the Republicans had companies of rail-splitters, to repre- sent Lincoln in one of his activities as a young man on the frontier. The most picturesque and distinctive feature of the Republican parades in that year, however, were the “Wideawakes.” This | order originated in Hartford, Conn., | and was not suggested by Lincoln's | own candidacy, for one of the Hartford “Wideawake” clubs was formed before Linco was nominated and escorted him to one of the halls in that city, where he made a speech, on his visit to the east in February, 1860. At that time Seward’s nomination ,was be- lieved, in the eastern states, to be ines- } timable. The “Wideawake” idea quick- ly spread all over the north after the | nomination of Lincoln and Hamlin ‘in May of that year, and it is estimated | that there were more than 200,000 | “Wideawakes” in the free states in that canvass. In the canvass in 1880 clubs of Boys in Blue were formed to commemorate Garfield’s service in the | union army, and in one procession in New York, which was reviewed by General Grant, over 50,000 participants of this order appeared. It was the largest procession on either side seen anywhere in the United States in the canvass of 1880. All these campaign clubs, except the ““Wideawakes” and the Boys in Blue, originated in the west, and, with the exception of these two orders, by far the largest of the processions took place in the west.-— Saal, 's Weekly: i 'PH FreASK F PRICE, ATTORNEY AT LAW Office over Ltasca (Mercantile Meat Market GRAND RAPIbS, C C.
