preliminary arrangements for the festival
are completed. Weather clear but very
warm. From early morning the streets
have been thronged with citizens and
strangers, and all the space In the vicinity
Of the Turner'S Hall, where the procession
will form Is densely packed with specta-
tors. The entire city Is in holiday attire.
The decorations are very elaborate and
general; there Is scarcely a block in the
city that Is not Handsomely embellished
with eyergreens, flags, banners, notices,
and variety OF emblems suitable
for the occasion. This Is especial.
ly the case in the business part
Of the city, and in those sections main.
ly occupied by the Germans, there is not
q house that does not betoken participa.
ton in the joyous event. A number Of
arches of the most elaborate character,
spanning the entire streets, are erected on
the routes Of the procession, and bowers
Of shady hooks abound on every hand.
No such display was ever made here, and
1t Is difficult to conceive that finer one
could be made anywhere. The proces.
sion which Is now forming, will be the
largest and most brilliant that ever
traversed our streets. About one hundred
singing societies, nearly all the local civil
associations, military companies, fire de.
partment, and every kind of, citizens,
afoot, horseback, and in carriages, bands,
banners, flags, mottoes, &C., will be in
the procession. Franz Abt, the distin-
guished composer, arrived last evening,
was received by a committee, and driven

where he was most cordially welcomed
by large number OF citizens, after which

Committee, met at Jefferson City to-day.

D. II. Armstrong, Chairman of the Cen

meeting at the State Capital alter twelve
eventful years, and referred to the fact
that the State Central Committee and
the Legislative caucus had recommended

leading members OF the party and ap-
proved by the people.

The Democrats resolutely turn their backs

Of Democratic opinion the Baltimore
Convention will be largely in favor OF the
Cincinnati platform and ticket. That
much may be set down as nearly certain.
There Is a possibility that the present op-
position to that programme may be 81.
Ieuced before the Convention meets, or
dleucel in the Convention. II 1t should
be-if there should be no bolt or incura

1t is said when Senator TRUMBULL
heard Of the Cincinnati nominations he
declared that "tho back bone of both par.
Ties had been broken"-that while GREE
lEr would divide the Republicans he
would also divide the Democratic party.
1t looks as ii the Senator's utterance
might prove prophetic.
