| Savannah demonstration and one OF the

/ torchlight procession will lay everything

In the shade.
| Feeling the necessity for such a celebra-
ton. several gentlemen decided yesterday
J afternoon to call a meeting last night at the
court house to take preliminary steps

superior court room at s O'Clock. Hon. F.
=. duBiguon was called 70 the chair and
/ Mr.. Charles Ladotte was elected secretary.
Suggestions were received as to the char
acter OF the proposed celebration. The
meeting was evidently of one mind, and its
| business was transacted in short order. A
committee, with Mr.. c. F. Prendergast as
chairman, was appointed to draft resolu-
| lions expressing the sentiments OF the
| meeting and giving some indication of the
line upon which 1t is proposed to hold the
| celebration.

! D-Equipment
| with the chairman of this meeting as ex-offico
chairman, together with the additional mem
| bers to be appointed by him constitute an exec
utive committee, with full power to act
| The resolutions were adopted unani-
mously.
1t was proposed that the time OF the cele-
bration bs fixed for Tuesday night, but it
| was decided that it would be best not to de-
| termlne the time until the Chairman could
appoint his committees, and all the COM
mittees could meet and discuss the arrange
ments.
Col. Peter Reilly and Mr. John NJ. Bryan
were present, representing the mill
tary. In discussing the proposed
celebration with number of gen tlemeu

military prominent feature. The idea
was at once indorsed and upon Col Reilly's
| suggestion Mr.. Bryan accompanied him to
the meeting and presented his plan for the
part of the military
! THE MILITARY DISPLAY.
Mr.. Bryan proposes that the military be
| given the head of the procession on the
night of the celebration and thus
give the procession a military ap-
| all tha
of the city to turn out by companies, in
charge of their commissioned officers
| equipped in service uniforms of blue flannel
shirts, jeans pantaloons, fatigue caps and
| leggins He proposed that instead of torches
| the military be supplied with railroad sig
| nal lights, such as are used by all the rail-
roads for signaling from the rear of trains.
These lights burn about ten minutes each
and are OF different colors. Mr.. Bryan's
idea Is to supply each company with &
different colored light. red, white
s s1@ Followed '0P by Other a s oS09s
He believes that the idea will be received
with enthusiasm by the military organiza-
tions and that they will turn out 500 men
! for the celebration. These, marching in the
open order by companies. each company
with different colored light, would make
probably the most attractive feature Of the
display.

on tin plate the democrats will not be able
to afford torohlights. Fireworks are plenti-
full, however, and will be used without
stint The democrats are determined to
have a celebration regardless of cost. 1t is
estimated that 81, 500 can easily be raised
for it.
1t is believed that there will be 5000 men
IN line IN the parade. The military will
turn out 800, the First, Second and Fourth
district democratic clubs will turn out
largely and the gun clubs and various
civic organizations will be out In force.
