Besides these 1900 are expected from
Omaha and 100 from Fremont. Such
are the figures put forth by the managers
of this affair. If these figures are reached
it will make 10, 600 torches in line, beside
those from Council Bluffs. 1t is not
probable that any such number will be
reached, but if it comes anywhere near
the estimate the demonstration will be a
huge one. The democrats figured on
1000 and got 1900. The republicans
expect between 10000 and IL, 900, and if
they do no better in proportion than the
democrats they will get out 6, 200 to 5000
surely.
One of the novel features of the parade
will be the, presence of lady b~rigades. 1t
is expected that there will be four bri-
gades of this kind. AS for music, the
managers count ON having thirty-seven
brass bands and nine martial bands.
The visitors will be served with coffee
and sandwiches as they march along.
David Mottaz by a canvass along Sixth
and Seventh venue alone has secured
$500 sandwiches. Smith & Loerke
have 1orders for 5000, and other plans
are made 30 that all will be amply sup
piled.
