WHICH SHALL IT Be-
An Inaugural BAN at the Capitoi VI
Grand Reception in the Pavilion!

An inaugural Bau at tho S"P
Grand Reception in the Paviiioh:
A meeting of citizens was held at the
Courthouse last evening to take some steps
toward getting up reception 10 oe eA
tended to the incoming State officials. In
the past it has been the custom to give on
such occasions what is called an inaugural
ball. The meeting was organized with
Mayor John @. Brown as Chairman Y. ID.
Cummings and H. NJ. LaRue Vice-Presi-
dents, and NJ. r. Beard Secretary.
r. ". Clarken moved that an inaugural
ball be given at the State Capitol IN hohor
of the incoming State officers.
H NJ La Rue said he would not oppose
the motion, but be had Suggestion 10
make. These inaugural balls had become
stereotvped, and some other plan might
answer the purpose sought and De
much more popular. When General Han
cock visited San Francisco some years ago
he was given a grand reception in the Me-
chanics Pavilion, at which the populace
was well represented. An inaugural paii
means swallow tail coats, dresses with long
trains, and tickets $40 each. a reception
is more democratic-he did not use TINS

were very evenly divided between the
two great parties. A Democratic Governor
and Senate, Republican Lieutenant-Goy-
ernor and Assembly. AT reception all
will be on an equality, there will be no
lines drawn between the aristocracy and
the common people; it will be participated
in by all, regardless of their politics, and
no one will be measured by the extent OF
his bank account. The Governor is an
aged man, a bachelor, he has no lady
friends in his family, and he no doubt
would rather meet an outpouring OF the
people than lead fashionable, swallow
tailed, long-trained, heightened, ten-doliar-
ahead grand march.
The suggestion of Mr.. La Rue met with
popular favor.
Major Anderson moved, as substitute
for Mr.. Clarken's motion, that committee
of 100 citizens be appointed to arrange for
the reception and to decide as to what it
should be.
Mr.. Clarken withdrew his motion, and
that of Mr. Anderson was adopted unani-
mously.
The following committee was appointed,
and thew are requested to meet at the
Court House tonight at T:30 o'clock to
perform the duty assigned:
