THE GRAND MARCH FOR HARRISON, FIFER AND BAKER. AT airr HALL Our report of the Republican rally list evening ended with the address of "Hr. Fitch, which closed the afternoon meeting. The elements still continued threaten- ng, but no rain fell after 5 o'clock, and preparations for the grand parade went forward regardless of weather.

The first division formed at City Hall the second division on Second itreet at foot of Cherry, both divisions meeting at Henry street, where they 01 into one grand column that ed orjward through the illuminated treets with the tread of veterans and he bearing of conquerors. The mud was something fearful, but there was no dodging it, and tho boys were too nthusiastlc to care. Of course many delegations that had promised to at- were kept at home by the execra- ile weather, but more came than my one could reasonably have xpeoted under the circumstances. The Edwardsville, Wanda, erald, Bunker Hill, Betbalto, other clubs along the 1. St.

L. did not arrive until nearly 9 o'clock, after. the was under way, iut they marched up to meet he procession as it returned from iliddlotown, falling in line on Alby itreet and going on the march through Third street and up State. Owing to tho long route and Ihe mud the procession was obliged to skip Langdon, Belle, Main and Bluff streets and also make some short cuts. This was a great disappointment to patriotic Republicans along these thoroughfares, who had illuminated, but in justice to the yisit- ng clubs tho omission could not be avoided.

The procession started about 8 o'clock under the direction of Grand Marshal Herb and bis aides, and immense throngs of enthusiastic Republicans waded through seas of mud for he next two hours. It is almost im- to particularize the various devices used by those taking part. There were a number of floats mi lovely young ladies States, glee clubs, goddesses of liberty; ndustrial floats were exhibited by Mr. J. Garstang, Beall Bros, the Piasa Woolen mill, North Alton coal miners.

Two gentlemen appeared mount- ud on a yoke of nicely decorated oxen: one enthusiastic young man was mounted on a pony with a live rooster perched behind him, the jingle of sleigh bells attending every movement. The adies and gentlemen riders from Upper Alton attracted great attention. There was cavalry from Fosterburg, ville, Missouri Point, Godfrey, and other places. Music was furnished by the Enterprise Baud and 'Drum Corps, of wardsyille; the Standard Band, Dillon's martial band, of Fosterburg, martial band, tho Upper Alton and arlmville martial bands; Jerseyvillo and Godfrey bands, the State street martial band, composed of Allie Pepler, Ralph Root, Geo. Parker and Gorman Challacombo.

In addition to these a number of ladles' gleo clubs outributed lino music during and after the parade. TliK MAUCII1NO COMPANIES. Following is a partial list of tho auizations taking part in the parade but does not include hundreds of torch bearers not organized into clubs: Enterprise Band of Edwurdsville, Logan Club of Edwardsville, Edwardsville Drum Corps, Wanda Fifer Club of Carlinvillo, headed by Martial Band, Emerald Harrison and Morton Club of Bunker Hill, Shipman Republican Club, Upper Alton Republican Club, Harrison and Morton Cadets of Upper Alton, Jorsoyville Club with River Cavalry Brigade, Maj Moore in command, Glass Workers' Protective Club with Bund, Colored Glass Blowers' H.

ILLUMINATIONS. Tho very general in admirable taste, and included almost every kind of ornamentation. It is impossible to owing to tho number of houses and grounds that were brilliant with lamps, lanterns, and Every street on the me of march sjiowed up with Illumina- ions giving evidence that Republicans intended that their light should shinu, while gleaming from many bills In tho distance were beautifully lluminations shedding radiance ho valleys. One exhibition in this lino we will mention at Mr. H.

R. ncy's residence, on Twelfth street, ovely youtiglady, Miss Mamie Phinney, ippenrcd as the Goddess of Liberty, itanding on a pedestal, waving the A merican flag. At intervals a rod light wns flashed on tho scene, throwing the flog and its bearer in radiant relief, ill having an indescribably charming ffoct. 3,000 STKONO. The procession numbered about 1,000.

It was at lonit three times as argo as the Palmer parade, and tho pectucular display was superior 'ond comparison. The procession was over a mile long and was 65 minutes passing the corner of Third and Piasa and many bad fallen out by that time. spite of the bad weather, the procession was the largest and the grandest ever seen in tho Bluff city. It sed any previous effort of either party. contained many novel features, Deluding the industrial floats which were immense.

BANNER PRESENTATIONS. Before the parade commenced the 'ioneers marched to Mr.E.A.CleniPnt's residence, on Belle street, and were here presented with a beautiful okU gold colored plush banner, ornamented with the pictures of the Republican candidates, an eagle clutching a battle- axe and the name of the club. Miss Mabel Clement made the presentation address, in behalf of the ladies of that part of the city, in very eloquent terms, sentiments abounding, spouse by Mr. Wm. Duncan, who was equal to the occasion, proving himself a 'banner" orator.

When the procession arrived at the corner- of Sixth and Henry streets a dolour was made by the Pioneer and Flambeau clubs to the residence of Mr. H. Hi qp, corner of Sixth and Langdon, where an elegant blue plush banner was presented to the Flambeau club, by Miss Mabel Rico in behalf of the ladies. The ittle speaker said she hoped the club would prizn the banner, because of the principles of the party: principles up- icld by Lincoln, Grant, Gur fluid and The reply, by Lieut. E.

M. Bowman, of the olub, was very felicitous. Ho said the banner would be prized, not so much for its intrinsic worth as for the circumstances attending the presentation, and those who arranged the uffuir. It would be prized far above the value sot on tho rebul flugs a Democratic President, who made an effort to return tho emblems of treason to those who tried to destroy the government. At Mr.

Joseph Crowe's store, on State street, part of the procession baked while Miss Hattie Cotter, a charmingly self possessed manuer, presented to the Flambeau Club a superb illk flag, the gift of the ladies of Stuto street. Mr. H. S. Baker, made the response.

Ho said that the Republicans had often marched to victory under the starry banner, not only in political fields, but at Gettysburg, Vicksburg and Appomattox. Next Tuesday they would again join In the struggle, and victory would be shown by the unfolding to tho breeze of the flag presented this evening. NOTES.

dwlt AN OFFICIAL OCTRAUE. Disfranchising Ultiient. The discovery yesterday, as ished in the TELEGRAPH last evening, during the incumbency of Clerks Ward and Noonan no record was kept of tho naturalization. papers issued by City Court creates intense excitement, especially among foreign-born citizens who obtained their papers during that period. Suppose, for that any of these men have ost or mis'aid their naturalization pa pers, what would be the resultP There- suit would be that they are disfranchised.

They cannot get duplicate papers because there is nothing on record to show that they were ever naturaliznd. They become aliens again and will remain so for years until they can again get their first and final papers in regular course from some court of record. This is a very serious matter and an outrage on the rights every foreign born citizen who obtained his papers from the court during tho past twelve years. And this great wrong was not perpetrated by Americans but by foreign, born officials against their own countrymen, as well against men from other lands. Now, the question arises, what was the object of these ollieiuls in failing to make a record of tho citizens natural- zed by the Court? Was it merely official recklessness or carelessness, or was it douo with the purpose of covering up gigantic and stupendous frauds An answer to these questions is in order.

Now what were of the Alton City Court doing all these years? Did they ever look over the records of their Court?
