THE PROPOSED FESTIVAL.
Views of joan w. Thompson, rGd. Abncr,
and Others.

President Garfield is meeting with the universal
Endorsement of those whose services will make 1t
n success. There is no doubt about the hearty CO.
operation of the public, and since everybody "is
wllln," including Bnrkis, there seems to bo no
reason why some steps should not be taken to.
ward putting the plan into some practical shape.
Below will be found the views of some prominent
business men who heartily indorse the move
ment:
john W. THOMPSON
received REPUBLICAN, reporter very cordially at
his residence on | street, and when the latter made
known his desire to obtain, among those Of other
prominent business men of the city, his opinion as
to the proposed musical festival, said that he was
most heartily in sympathy with any public project
to celebrate the convalescencc of the President.
musical festival given in this city would do much
toward bringing Washington into more general
notice as an art centre, and also would prove a dl
rect benefit to the business interests here. But
laying the question of gain aside, 1t is
right and proper that some public demon
stratlon should be made, and no more
appropriate place could be selected for
such q scene than the Capital of the Nation
If this festival is TO be success no time must be
lost; these undertakings involve much labor.
A suitable committee, not too large, should at
once be organized and an active energetic
man, with good business capacity, placed
at Its head, so that arrangements can at
once be commenced for grand effort
When once the intiatory step has been taken.
there will be plenty Of money at the command of
the committee, for the live business men realize
the Importance of such nn immense gathering of
people as will here assemble, aud will
subscribe literally to further the projec'.
Whatever form the festival may take, one day
should be set apart for thanksgiving and prayer,
and this should be arranged by means of corre-
spondence with Governors of the several States so
that one day will bo devoted to that purpose
throughout the Union.
MR.. Ed. ABNER
was found In his delightful summer garden, on +
street, and expressed himself in favor of n cele-
brstion II the President Is restored to health but
thought that 1t should rather be Of popular form
in which the poor MS well as the wealthy
might participate. In his opinion n musical
festival, to be anything ike what the occasion de-
mnnds. would involve an expense greater than
ought to be rsked on such an undertaking, But
a general demonstration by illumination, bon
fires and pyrotechnics would he equally graft
flying to the President, and would ell.
able every one so inclined to participate
