The Austrian-Amer- ican McKinley Club formed on the south side of Howard street, right resting on New Montgomery. Tue Thirty-fifth District Club formed on their left. These, with the Army and Navy Republican League, which formed in the same street, composed the second division, under command of Marshal Fred Frey. The third division formed on the north side of Howard street, with right resting on New Montgomery. - It was under the | command of Marshal Sylvester Shehan | | with a corps of aids. It was composed of | | the Pheenix Clvb, Young Men’s Repub- | lican Lesgue, North Beach Republican | Club and the Irish-American Republican | League. The fourth division formed on the north | | side of Mission street, with the right rest- | | ing on New Montgomery. It was under command of Judge A. B, Treadwell, mar- shal, with his aids. It was composed of the Montezuma Republican Club, the Forty-third District Republican Club and | the Italo-American Republican Club. Marshal J. E.

It was composed of the | Republican Executive Council of Califor- nia, the Thirty-sixth District Republican Club, the Forty-first District Young Men’s Republican Club, the Afro-American League, the Forty-third District Repub- lican Club and the Forty-fourth District Republican Club. The Sixth Division fromed on the south side of Sutter street, with the right resting on Montgomery. It was under command of Marshal Burns and aids. It was com- | posed of the Thirty-fifth, the Forty-fifth, | the Thirty-ninth, the Forty-first, the | Thirty-fourth, the Forty-second, the ‘jTuiny-flrst and the Thirty-seventh Dis- | trict Republican clubs. The Ladies’ Re- publican Club, which was assigned to this | division, did not get in line until it arrived at the Pavilion. The Bear Republican Club, forming the Seventh Division, formed on Mission | street, with the right resting on New ‘Momgomery. It was commanded by T. | W. Collins. It was after 8 o’clock before the order to move was given by the grand marshal. As the head of the line moved out into Market street the band struck up and a volley of bombs gave notice to tne waiting | throng that crowded both sides of Market | street all the way out to the Pavilion, that and lighting the eaves of the building for a block on both sides of the street. Market street, from New Montgomery to the Pavilion, was thronged with people, and as the lights and flags and transpar- encies bearing the glad tidings of the bet- ter times passed by to the music of the bands, the bursting of rockets and the martial tread of the marching army of Re- publicans the enthusiasm of the crowd kept pace and the cheers ran with them also from the Palace Hotel to the Pavilion. Every division was led by a brass band and music seemed to move in an uninter- rupted stream out the thoroughfare. Long before 8 o’clock, without waiting for the demonstration of fireworks, music and the marching multitude in the street, people began pouring into the Pavilion, and by the time the head of the proces- sion had reached there its capacity had al- most been tested. The stage was crowded with distinguished citizens, who faced a multitude ready to cheer the speakews and sound the slogan for McKinley and pros- perity. The interior of the Pavilion had been draped with flags and bunting that seemed to pulsate with the feeling of jubilant ex- citement that pervaded the people that filled the space beneath. Last uight, at the close of the meeting, the Afro-American League and Douglass Guards marched to jubilation on their own account- They had made preparations in advance for a big time. A banquet was spread, at their hall on Bush | street and there held a ratification and | A detachment ot policemen (twenty-five in number), commanded by Captain Spil- lane, headed the line. They were followed by Marshal Kincaid in his patriotic re- galia of red, white and blue. He was mounted upon a spirited bay horse and at- tended by his aids, who wore white sashes. The cry of the boys on the streets, ‘‘Get your McKinley badges here,” was drowned by the music as soon as the procession moved. Allalong Market street, from the Palace Hotel to the Pavilion, the air was lurid with red and blue lights, Roman candles and skyrockets and the bursting of bombs, while the strains of music mingled with the cheers of the paraders and the throng of men, women and children who block- aded the sidewalks upon each side of the procession, Transparencies were numerous and torches and fireworks were as pientiful as leaves on trees. Japanese lanterns were carried by the members of the Continental League, who looked as picturesque as patriotic. The spirit of '76 was happily illustrated by the Continental fifsr in his shirt sleeves and two young American drummers playing “Yankee Doodle.” “Here We Are!” was the inscription upon a transparency borne by the Presidio Heights Club. The Howard Club was ringing a cowbell in a wagon draped with the National colors. It announced itself to be “solid for Mec- Kinley,” and displayed an illustrative picture of the smokeless mills under the | mischievous policy of President Cleve- CANTON, Onro, June 20.—I had ample opportunity this morning to draw a men- tal portrait of Governor McKinley as he tentatious residence, group of New York delegates. surrounded by a I found MAJOR McKINL Pen Sketch of the Future President. stood in the parlor of his cozy and unos- | him a sqnare-shouldered, square-headed !

Glaring out in the bold relief of the brilliant blue fire were such sentiments as: “McKinley and the McKinley Bill”; t‘California is for Protection to Her In- dustries, Her Workingmen, and for the People’s Choice, the Apostle of Protection, William McKinley.” The Union League Club was represented by a delegation of its members in car- riages, who pledged the electoral vote of California to McKinley and Hobart. “A Protective Tariff,’ declared the Phcenix . Wi, inclined to corpulency. His hands were in his pantaloon pockets and his feet wide apart, giving him a sohd foundation. This attitude is in harmony with the rest of his physical makeup—strong, purposeful, re- liant. Standing in this position, with shoul- ders set well back and chest thrown for- ward, the hereditary determination of his Scotch-Irish ancestry stands revealed. The square, forward chin, the square jaw, the lines extending downward from the cor- ners of the mouth, the deepset lines from the corners of the nostrils, the aimple of babyhood grown into the cleft in the chin, the lips horizontally set and the almost level eyebrows tell the same story. The most conspicuous facial character- istic of this man upon whom the eyes of a nation are blazing to-day is his aquiline profile. It reminds you at once of an eagle’s head. There are the curved beak of the king of the cliff and the crag, the fine grained dark and rather scanty hair brushed back over the ears, and the down- ward curve of the mouth to make the re- semblance more vivid. Like most of the other dwellers in the moist heat of the | preat West, and like the Bonaparte whom he resembles, thereis no color in the Mc- Kinley face, and this absence of red, which is oiten an indication of a temperate life, | is made more prominent by the dark hair | and eyebrows and the suit of soiemn blacx cloth and the black tie which he wears. The Republican candidate for the Presi- dency of the United States has a remark- able pair of eyes. They are gray and deeply set, behind black and somewhat shaggy brows. Indeed they are sei so deeply that there does not seem to be any | eyelid above them, and most of the time | they are shaded. The dark-brown hue of | the upper strip of the lower eyelid adds to ‘_ these a Rembrant chiaroscuro effect. | From the midst of these shades, two ; round, bright, gray eyes shine at you. The look is not keen and penetrating, nor de- dark eyelashes, but the round pupils shine as polished crystal. They are among the frankest eyes I ever looked into.
