Richmond, my theme will be the Germans

That no banquet will be- held Eas almost
been definitely settled. There are several
reason, -.a.ei why this will not be done,
one oi which is that after the celebration
AN day the men will De too tired 10 enjoy
banquet; another reason is that no appro-
pration can DE made 0ut oi the general
fund for such purpose unless every Ger
man citizen and his family is invited. and
such q proceeding would be impossible, and
,bc third reasDn is that no one seems t0
want banquet.
Ou Friday night the general committee
will meet. and all arrangements will by
that time pa completed. The celebration
promises to Doe t grand one, and our Ger
man citizens are NOT stinting time or money
90 make it % success. The last public dem
