There has been much rivalry among the factory boys as to the number that each will have in line and the appear­ance that will be made. Most every factory of any importance in the city has organized and will march in a body from one to eight hundred strong. Ball Bros, will probably head the van as to numbers, but some of the other boys will be very noticeable with an elegant float, or representation on a wagon. It will be the final Republican demonstration of the campaign until the ratification, and the boys will make old Welkin ring. All Republicans are urged to join in the procession.
