Army in Motion at I.ust. At U o’clock the “Commonwealth of Christ brass band,” J. J. Thayer, conductor, began to play a march from its position in the red, yellow aud black baud wagon. The "Humble Carl Browne,” who had added a delicate white lace necktie to his buckskin jacket and sombrero costume, pranced out upon Coxey’s huge white stallion Currier. After much preliminary squabbling between the enthusiastic recruits over the positions of banuer-bearer, tho Great Unknown shouted in a voice that could be heard a full half-mile: "Everybody inarch!” The column moved and Coxey's army was on its way to Washington, in front marched Mr. Jasper Johnson Buchanan, a gentleman of color carrying a national flag. “Windy” Oliver and Curl Browne followed the colors and after them came a little gray, tired-looking man on a horse. It was Dr. “Cyclone" Kirkland, astrologer, of I’ittsburgh, so caiiod because he has a penchant for predicting whirlwinds. There were ten or fifteen other horsemen, variously attired to attract attention. One of them wore a blue velvet jacket and an enormous bouquet. Murcher* C’hoered l»y the Crowd. When the column inarched up the main street of Massiilou, banners flying and band playing, it was cheered by thousands of people who hud been coming into the city from all directions since early morning. There was some jeering, but the crowd seemed much too surprised for fun-making. A large number of horsemen, carriages and marchers followed the procession. AH the small boys were tremendously excited. As the army passed people in the houses stooi at the windows aud waved their handkerchiefs. TrlumphHiit U11 try Into Canton. Before arriving in Canton snow began to fall, but it did not tfrivo away the great crowds of spectators who had gathered to watch the commonwealers’ triumphant entry. The tents were pitched near the fair grounds and the men built camp fires and cooked supper, after which they found a bed in tlte big tent. They lay ""■poon fashion" undei the straw to keep warm.
