THE JUBILATION.
Minneapolis to Celebrate the Glorious
Victory of the Democratic
Party.
A General Invitation Extended to all Friends
Of the Party in the Northwest.

A joint meeting OF the various committees
having in charge the work Of arranging for
the grand demonstration on Saturday night,
celebrating the glorious victory Of the Demo
cratic party, was held in the parlors Of the
West hotel last evening. All the committees
were present and all the members were en-
thusiastic.
The committee on invitation submitted a
report stating that they had gotten up a
letter Of invitation. They had arrived at the
conclusion that It would be expedient to
make general rather than special invita-
the northwest, or within convenient IA
dius- Upon morton Of DR., Ames the report
was accepted and the plans suggested were
approved.
Mr.. Jacoby explained that he had heard
from the clubs Of Anoka, and stated that An
Okla had chartered a special train and would
come down 400 strong 70 participate in the
parade. A. T. Aukery suggested that the
committee make arrangements with the
given excursion rates.
The committee on finance reported that SO
far SS71 had been contributed and that the
committee could safely rely upon at least
$1,000 and it is probable that the amount
will be largely in excess OF that. The com
mittee suggested that the fund be divided
with reason among the various branches
of the display. The expense for
music was estimated at $500. An east side
haH .-,ft, - -
rade with eighty cavalrymen and band of
music free of expense. The expense for
banners viii probably be $50; fireworks 800;
ordnance $50; torches $3.50.
The committee on torches reported that
the headquarters had been established in the
Office Of P. p. Swenson. 1t was the opinion
that the appropriation for torches and ban
ners was too limited. Mr. ia
CODY in this connection explained
that Mr.. Brown, from the dry goods house
Of GoOdfellow * Eastman, had offered to do
nate all the canvas and cloths to be used
for
BANNERS AND TRANsPARENCTEs.
Mr.. Schaefer stated that he had ascertained
that the torches could be procured for Sl3O
per thousand. The torches had been pur-
chased by the Republicans, and they had no
use for them. The appropriation for torches
was increased to $500, but Mr. Schaefer per-
sisted that the expense for oil would be con-
siderable and still the money was insult
fieient.
The committee on music was reported bv
DR.. Ames, the chairman. He stated that
that drum corps had rendered their services,
but the committee had not felt authorized to
engage bands until a definite appropriation
10 cover the expense had been made.
The committee on speakers recommended
as president of the meeting Gen. Reynolds,
and as vice presidents J. X. Sidle, Winthrop
Young, o. c. Merriman, n. T. Willis, Wash

W. Lawrance. W. Ropp and B. F. Nelson.
The committee had not made any positive
arrangements for speakers. Mr. Brisbin, of
81. Paul, had volunteered 10 make an out
door speech. Several gentlemen had sug-
gested the propriety of getting Costin Harri-
son of Chicago. The committee further
recommended that Hon. 2. II. Kelly. of St.
Paul, member of the national COMMITTEE be
one of the speakers. For the local speakers
the committee recommended Gen. Reynolds,
W. W. McNair, 7. L. Rosser f. NJ. Wilson,
DIR. A A. Ames, Judge J. s. Root, Geo. r.
Robinson and d. B. Johnson.
Albert Sehaefer donated the use of his hall
in the Sixth ward. DR.. Ames suggested that
Armory hall be secured and a stand built in
the centre. This proposition wss advocated
by Mr.. Rolfe. The whole matter was left 10
fhs.H scor.ffrr, -
Mr.. Ankeny stated that he should endeayor
TO secure Carter Harrison.
Committee on parade and line of march
reported that they had taken the matter
under consideration. They had decided to
form on the East side to give the East siders
an opportunity to enjoy the display, but as TO
the course of the line of march on the West
side, they had arrived TO no conclusion, but
thought it proper to confue particularly
to the centre portion OF the city,
DR.. Ames and P. B. Winston were added 10
the committee.
The Third ward club raised an objection
10 forming on the East side, owing to the
distance, and DR.. Ames thought it advisable
TO form on the West side and then the East
siders could come over and take part, thereby
saving the counter marching on suspension
bridge.
DIR. Ames stated that party Of from sixty
to eighty gentlemen had volunteered To APP
pear in the parade wearing silk hats and
canes won on the election. He thought that
600 mounted men from the Sixth ward would
fall in line. The committee decided to meet
at eleven O'Clock this forenoon and decide
upon the line of march.
FIREWORKS.
The committee on fireworks re-
ported that they had decided to
await suntil they knew what their
appropriations would be, but now that a
definite sum had been mentioned they should
go actively at work at once.
The committee on ordinance renorted that
they had arranged for firing PIG guns. 1t
was suggested that the hay market would be
the proper place for firing the salutes.
Upon motion 1t was voted that the mayor
be asked 10 furnish a platoon OF police TO
head the parade, and Messrs. Ames, Merri-
man and Henderson.
