This division occupied Sixth street, north of Franklin avenue, and hraTely fac'd the pelting rain for more than two hours disregarding all calls from the sidewalks to disband. It may be said that the Sons of Veterans honored their sires by their show of discipline. When the reviewing stand was reached, Grand Commander Fairchild rode up by the side of the stand, and then sat on his horse to review the parade. The War' Governors and General Sherman saf in thisir carriages, so the stand was onlvise*' cupied by a few newspaper men and city officials, who stood up.

In passing under the triumphal arch the veterans reverent If lifted their hats and gave many of the designs three cheers. It was precisely twelve o’clock when the squadron of police which lei the column reached the grand revi swing stand, and after a desperate attack on the crowd succeeded in clearing a large space in front of the stand. CommandersnChief Fairchild then rode up, dismounted and took his position in the reviewing stand.

He also denounced this as a tie. Delegate Anthony, of Kansas, made an attempt to reconsider the report at ths committee on resolutions, by which a proposition to raise money for the erection of a monument to G eneral Warren was defeated, bat was uns accessfui.

He declared that the Grand Array should have the courage of its convictions, and should vofe as it felt upon this question. This pave General- C. H.

ST. LOUIS* GUESTS. The Ft sstdeat and Mrs. Cleveland the Ab•nM>| Topic of Con versation Amftta CHlsetsof 8t. Louis, and the Statue to Which AH Eyes Are tor the Time Belas Tunned. St. Louis, Oct. &-Although St Louis is just recovering from a week of over •• crowding, it did not take a back seat in the matter yesterday. The weather played vigorously into the hands of all lovers of out-door life hy providing a day so bright that a walk or a drive on the avenue or a stroll through the parks was delightful. They took advantage of it and all the principal streets presented a tide of happy, prosperous humanity more cheerful and cheering: than had crowded them before this season. It,«as not the usual crowd that a bright summer Sunder turns out. There were hundreds of strangers, and, apparently, live ladies'to every man; especially was the latter statement true of that part of the crowd which rode and walked through the boulevards in the western part of the city. The inducements which nature offered did not alone call the myriads to the streets and the parks. Uppermost in the minds of nine out of every ten of them was a desire to see the distinguished visitors, President and Mrs. Cleveland. Vamieventer piece temporarily lost its feature, indicated by the gilded sign: “No thoroughfare,” which hung over the entrance. Pedestrians who had never \ passed along Its pleasant walks before; begat, to appear on Grandavenue early in the morning. They met no blue-coated policemen, and after pausing and looking down over the green sward, studded with its beds of flowers and along the line of palatial residences, they entered cautiously and paused on the inside of the gate as though expecting to be told they were intruding. Then they passed on and stopped long enough ha front of the mayor’s residence to count every brick in it. Those who followed them entered with more assurance, and they spent less time in front of the residence in which were quartered the visitors, for the little scattering knots of the first hoar became a solid line that crowded them on. There were the rich, the poor, the fashionable and the plain. Carriages began to arrive in the neighborhood of the place long before the morning church bells rang, and its beautiful drives were lined with a variety of equipages from that time till a. late hour in the afternoon. They talked of nobody—of nothing—but the President and Mrs. Cleveland, and they wanted to show to them that they were more keenly appreciated and could he more flatteringly treated in St. Louis than at any other place on the habitable globe. The down-town crowds were no less eager and expectant than those who thronged Vandeveuter Place. They watched every carriage. The streets war foil of longings. The town was as eager as a family of children watching for Santa Claus. They seemed to expect that the President might appear almost any place at almost anv time, and the young ladies fairly danced in their eagerness fo the time to come when they could gaas on a “reel live President” and a “flrstlady of the land.” and the men were anxious to see for themselves what sort at a man it was who climbed so high on the political ladder in so short a time. The peddlers on the, street put away their Grand Army badges, and pictures of noted soldiers, and brought out portraits of the President and Mri. Cleveland. They sold hundreds of them to those who wanted something by which to identify the President if they met him anywhere. Those who had little hope of seeing him yesterday spent the day in discussing the programme which will! he carried out today and to-morrow, and planning for those days. They all expect to see the President before helenvee the city, and most of them Will. THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR.

Darin* the past year I have spent a great deal of my time as a general officer of the organisation, traveling about the country. I have visited nearly every portion of Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, and hava travel*! in other Middle and Soothers states, as well as mv own and I want to trill you that .during all that time I never mot one man among the massse of the organisation who has even whispered the complaint against Terry Powderly or his policy. Powderiy is the idol oil the knights and more the ideal man forth# por tion which he holds in the estimation of tlhe masses of the organisation than any other man eouid be.”
