Senator Stanford Will Be Given q
Rousing Reception.
A large number of mechanics from the
railroad shops and citizens gathered at the
old Pavilion for the purpose of making
preparations for the proposed popular
demonstration in honor of Senator STAN
ford, Thursday evening.
Tom Scott called the assemblage to order
and after briefly stating the object OF the
meeting announced that the first business
n order would be the selection of perma-
nent Chairman and Secretary.
Thomas Warmly was the unanimous
choice of the meeting, and Mr.. Van Glider
was elected Secretary.
Mr.. Warmly, upon taking the chair,
said he felt highly honored at being
selected to preside over a meeting that had
in view such a worthy object. He said
every body-Democrats and Republicans
alike-honored and esteemed Mr.. Stanford,
and it was understood that this demon
stration would be a non partisan affair IN
the strictest sense OF the word. He felt
certain that there would be an immense
turnout from the shops.
The Chairman then called for suggestions
as to how to proceed with the arrange
ments, what sort of parade should be had,
etc.
Several plans were suggested, but the one
that was greeted with universal favor was
that suggested by Mr.. Scott, and was that a
COMMITTEES should be appointed from each
department of the shops, and committee
at-large for the city. The duty OF these
committees would be to canvass their re-
spective departments and obtain the
promise of as many as possible TO join in
the demonstration.
a motion to the effect that this should
be the plan of procedure was carried.
The Chairman then appointed the COM
mittees as follows: Machine shop No. l,
H. Bay; machine shop No. 2, H. j. Yer

Major Houghton, commander of the
Mark ham Brigade, stated to the meeting
that it was the intention to give the shop
men and citizens the right of the line.
They would lead the procession, with their
own Marshal and aids, and band would
be furnished them. Immediately behind
them would be Senator Stanford carriage.
Back of the carriage the Markham Brigade
would bring up, as sort of rear guard or
escort.
This plan seemed to give general salts
faction. 1t was decided to place all of the
arrangements in the hands Of the commit
tee appointed by the Chair; that each COM
mitteemsn should act as Marshal of his re-
spective department and that the commit
tee should elect Grand Marshal.
After some further discussion the meet
ing adjourned.
Subsequently the committee appointed
by the Chair held meeting and elected
Thomas Warmly as Grand Marshal. The
committee decided that the men should
not carry torches, but instead number oil
locomotive headlights, mounted on wagons
would be used.
