new regime. The gathering in Mechanics
Pavilion this evening, the procession of
| the people on the streets, the blare of
| brass bands, bonfres and the lighting of
the sky with rockets will serve as the key
note to the opening of the campaign and
indicate the jubilant temper of the people.

preparation. Letters were being sent out
