It was com- plete and enthusiastic. Tt had more flags and tri-colored bunting and cheers and red fire than ever before. The parade was as spectacular as any Fourth of July parade that has marched with fife and drum and bugle and become silent in the years gone by. Market street presented a canopy of | fluttering flags, tri-colored bunting, bril- liant lanterns and pictures of Presidents and patriots upheld by wires. The store fronts w in many instances, almost covered by National colors. The prin al streets and resorts were packed with people all day long and far into the night. During the parade the crowd was so dense that passage along the |* streets and sidewalks was almost impossi- ble except for those in the parade. The decorations extended from the foot of Market street almost up to Van Ness ave- nue,on Kearny street almostdown to Clay, and on Geary, O'Farrell, Grant avenue, Post, Sutter and other streets for blockul away from Market. Streaming proudly through it all the flag of one nation only was visible—the stars and stripes. The | tunes that the bands played oftenest were the ‘‘Star-spangled Banner,” “Yankee Doodle,” “Hail Columbia” and “Amer. " The patriotism displayed was for flag and one country, The chief interest in the day’s events was manifésted by tie mass of the people in the parade. It was a little slow in be- ginning to move, but when it finally got under way it moved majestically. His was a dry beart, indeed, which did not swell at the spectacle. Up Market street | it marched, an_army carrying waving | plumes and fluttering flags. Above the spectators in the streets the windows and roofs of the tall buildings were filled with faces. Nobody seemed to care very much if a cannon-cracker dropped by the ubiquitous small boy went off under his feet. The greatest good humor prevailed. The chief marshals were resplendent in their unmiforms and sashes. Chief of Po- ce Crowley made a dignified and fine ap- rance in uniform.

In- terest was intensified when it was seen to belch fire, smoke and the noise of war from genuine little guns, which pro- truded from the turrets just as the big guns do on the real Oregon down in the bay * getting her finishing touches, The | guns were elevated at an angle above the | crowds of people in the sireets, and on this account, though the charges were | strong enough to make plenty of noise, only one man was burt.

The countermarch on Van Ness avenue with the hill and clouds for a background, and all the colors and streamers flying in the breeze, and the scores of bands play- ing, was a most beautiful sight.

At the intersection of Van Ness avenue -and Market street the observer had an ex- tended view of the military approaching { up Market street, and wheeling in long columns into the broad avenue. The pre- cision of movement of the militia and their superior soldierly bearing was in- spiring in the extreme. The sun glittered on:the gold-topped helmets of the men as they.turned and marched upon the smooth vaved boulevard. - The swords flashed. As platoon after platoon advanced further up the hill toward Post street they rose, it seemed, out of the farther end to be finally brought into relief in succession against the blue stage at the place of the counter- march. It was in the return from Post street that the hot sun and long tramp began to tell on the soldier boys. A private of the First Regiment, overcome by the heat, wus helped from the ranks near the grand mar- shal’s station. The men of the cruiser Charleston walked with the tread of those to whom war is business and necessity. The long cruise through wind and sun has left its ruddy mark on their faces.

In the Event of His Selection They Would Be Absolved From Allegiance. SENATOR WHITE OF CALIFORNIA NOW HAS MANY SUPPORTERS. Sweltering in the Hot Sun of the Convention City Rival Leaders and Spielers Con- tinue the Struggle for the Various Candidates. HEADQUARTERS, ! CHICAGO, IIL., July %. ) The Teller boom was revived to-day, it is supposed with the assistance of the gold men who would like to see the Republican from Colorado at the head of the Democratic ticket, because the strait- laced Democracy in that event would be absolved from their allegi~ ance to the party and its nominees. Boies of Iowa appeared at the Palmer House to-day and held a He had several hundred callers and refused to be interviewed | for the press. Senator Stephen M. White of California is mentioned as the most acceptable candidate for the Vice-Presidency, as he would get the vote of New York for a starter. ¥t is expected that “Silver Dick” Bland will follow the example of Mr. Boies and will come here to encourage his friends. Ex-Governor Pennoyer of Oregon is a candidate for first or Senator Hill of New York remained in his apartments all day He refuseed to say anything for publication. Several thousand uniformed Bland boomers from Missouri will be here with a dozen brass bands and the California delegation will hold open house in their quarters at JOHN PAUL COSGRAVE, CHICAGO, IrL., July 4.—There may or may not be some significance in the fact that with the arrival of Senator Hill and ex-Senator Whitney of New York Teller stock went up a few points and his name was industriously buzzed by couvention speilers around the lobbies and in the dif- ferent headquarters. It may be that the gold men, finding that their fight is irre- trievably lost, have determined to boom a Republican for the first place on the Dem- ocratic ticket in order that the stanch Democracy of the country may be ab- solved from any ties of allegiance to the party, the heading of the ticket with the name of a lifelong Republican being equiv- alent in their estimation to a surrender to all party principles. ‘There is one memorable instance on record in which the National Democracy went outside of its own party and selected a candidate for the Presidency. That can- didate was a man of unblemished reputa- tion, and one in whom the masses of the people could be well supposed to place im- plicit confidence. But the members of the party who had been suckled with the milk of Democracy on the breasts of Democratic mothers could not stomach so violeut a departure from political usages, such as that was, and they repudiated Horace Greeley at the polls. They felt that it was an insinuation that within, the ranks of the party at that time no man could be fonnd sufficiently pure, sufliciently able, sufficiently great or sufficiently=popular to carry the standard of Democracy through the smoke and turmoil of a heated cam- THE FLOAT ENTITLED “COLUMBIA RULES THE WORLD.” paign and plant it victoriously on the ram« parts of Wasbirgton. It may be that the shrewd gold men had such a contingency in their minds when they covertly threw the weight of their influence to the Teller boomlet, knowing that Teller would be the weakest man, for partisan reasons, whom the Democracy could select. This suggestion was put forth as a feeler, but the name of the bolt- ing Republican from Colorado did not spread throuch the rank and file like a prairie fire. On the contrary, it required NEW TO-DAY. KANSAS (1Y THE PRIZE By tbs Disfguring CUTICURA ECZEMA REMEDIES Our baby when three weeks old was badly af- flicted with Eczema.
