The committee having the arrangement,
for the cele ebrstion in charge is composed OF

Of New York, and 1t is proposed BY them to
honor this anniversary as Que of the mos,
important and interesting events in the series
that marked the birth of the republic, in a
manner behttlng its Importance and with
full recogn ton of the fact that tn oc ssion
is a national one. The plans they have
formed and the responses made to their re-
quests for the cooperation of the States and
Territories of the Unioa, irdic ate that the
celebration will be on scale and of char
acter commensurate with toe grandeur of the
association and suggestions attending the
commemoraton of III. simple ceremonies
that made Washington the civic head of the
nation his genius and patriotism called INTO
being.
The committee considers that one of the
most appropriate features of the celebration
and one that will make its national ch iracter
most distinctly apparent, will be the military
display and, in order to make it impressive
As such, it is strongly urged that each State
should be represented IN the column.
We heartily concur in this lesire of the
committee and trust that such measures may
be taken as will secure rs large as poss bic a
representation of the Volunteer Militia of our
State. IL is understood that the committee
will furnish the troops with rations and quar-
ters while in New York. so that the only
provision necessary to be made is for trans
portation.
We believe it superfuou' to undert ke to
enlarge upon the propriety of providing for
the adequate participation of the State of
Maine III the ceremonies of this national
anniversary; that TO DO 50 wbull seem to
call in question the regard of our people for
the name of Washington, their love OF coun-
try and pride in its history and character.
