Then she had 45 bimetallic young ladies dressed in handsome costumes to represent each of the forty-five states; they rode in a wagon drawn by six horses.

15,000 PEOPLE IN THE CITY. A Monster Street Parade and Flambeau Exhibition A Great Speech By Overmyer. Last night was the people's night in Galena. It was also Bryan night. Never before, so agree all of the "oldest inhabitants," was there such a crowd inside the city limits.

To guess at the number and expect to put it accurately would be foolish. A conservative estimate would not place the numbers who thronged Main street during the parade at less than fifteen thousand. There might have been twenty thousand. The business men of Galena, irrespective of party, decorated their fronts, and the flags and bunting presented a beautiful sight. The small boy and the big boy, and the small girl and the big girl, were out in force and had something or anything that would make a noise.

And such noises! Here and there sky rockets and roman candles shot their multi-colored balls of fire heavenward. Shouts for Bryan and Overmyer came alternately from the throats of the enthusiastic throng. It was a great night for Galena. And through it all no disturbances occurred, with possibly a single exception. THE EARLY ARRIVALS.

The out-of-town visitors came in from the country at intervals during the day and the electric line brought many during the afternoon. The first large crowd came on the evening Memphis train. About one hundred came from Columbus, including the band of that city. This band was unexpected and therefore the management of the rally had a pleasant, surprise. The Memphis train also bore the speaker of the evening, the Hon.

David Overmyer. The gentlemen who were appointed to receive the speaker, B. S. Moore, Wm. F.

Sapp and Dr. Hutchins, met the train with a gaily decorated carriage drawn by two, white horses. The Columbus band escorted the speaker's carriage from the depot to the Banks hotel. By 7 o'clock the crowd on the streets numbered thousands, and the people filed up and down enjoying themselves in various ways until the excursion train" arrived. THE SPECIAL TRAIN.

It was nearly 8 o'clock when the Memphis special of six coaches, loaded to the guards, rolled in. All that portion of the parade outside of Webb City and Joplin was in formation in the bottom, ready to move out when the visitors should arrive and get in line. The delay was not long, therefore, and at a little after 8 o'clock the grand army began its march. THE PARADE. Grand Marshal J.

Bunk Moore led the way- The formation of the was about as follows: 1. oalena Firemen Band. 2. Portrait of W. J.

By the time the procession had reached Fifth street the crowds which were along the line from Fourth to Fifth began to move into the direction of pavilion, and though the parade had hardiy started, every available seat at the pavilion was occupied. There was a wait of fully a half hour before the first of the parade reached the pavilion, but the immense audience re mained easy and chatted with friends and neighbors. A WONDERFUL SPEECH. When Mr.

Overmyer stepped ttpon the platform he was given an ovation. Gabriel Schmuck briefly introduced the speaker, the lateness of the hour forbidding any extended remarks. It was 9:30 o'clock when Mr. Overmyer began to speak. Those who had heard him two years ago, when he was given an ovation in this city though of not such proportions as last night, expected a treat, but those who had not heard him be fore had their expectations more than satisfied.

Mr. Overmyer is a wonderful speaker and he made a wonderful speech last night. He is a statesman, a scholar and an orator combined. He talked for nearly two hours, and such a presentation of argument, of logic, of truth, and justice and right was never before presented in Galena. Mr.

Overmyer is a legalist, and his construction of the law of the land in matters of finance and other things was forcibly presented. GALENA OLD SOLDIERS.
