Hon. c. A. Marston. chairman of the
Republican town committee, called the
meeting to order and called Lewis An
derson to the chair. }. o. Smith was
chosen secretary.
An interchange of views on the pro
position to celebrate the great victory by
which Mckinley and Hobart were sc
handsomely elected President and Vice
President, developed the fact that all
present were heartily in favor of a pro
per observance of the important event
at an early day.

The executive committee has full
authority to proceed as it sees fit, but it
was voted as the sense of the meeting
that the demonstration occur, Monday
evening next, the 9th inst.
The executive committee has not yet
fully determined upon the order of ex-
ercises in detail, but it is understood
that public meeting 10 Coburn Hall,
procession with martial music, fire
works, bonfires and Examinations are
embraced in the program.
An invitation is extended to citizens

their interest in the occasion and their
Joy at the victory for honest finances

Unless we are greatly at fault in our
diagnosis of the case, Republicans and
their allies will enter into this demonstra-
ton with lively interest, and great en-
thusiasm, and make it the pronounced
success it deserves to be.
