Nash's Inauguration.


IN charge OF the afTair for the most
elaborate and tmposlng inaugural GER
emonies ever pndertaken on the accas-
ion of the induction of Hon. Geo. K
Nash into the office of Governor, jan
uary 8, 1900
Both the civic and military features
of the occasion will be elaborate and
attractive and cannot fail to please and
satisfy the thousands of people who
will be present from all parts of the
State
The movement has resolved itself in
to great non-partisan demonstration,
in which different candidates, who
contested the election witch Governor
elect Nash, and the candidates for the
nomination before the different state
conventions, will participate Lead
ing men Of all parties, not only at the
State Capital, but throughout the
State, are a unit in their determination
to make the Inauguration of the Gov
ernor in 1900 worthy the great state
which began it's political career at the
beginning of the nineteenth century.
The parade, which will move shortly
after O'Clock p. m. on the day of the
inauguration, from the corner of Broad
and Third streets, and which in count
ermarching will pass the reviewing
stand on the west front of the State
House, will consist not only of the
military, but of civic, industrial and
mercantile bodies.
While the parade, as a whole, will be
under the command of Adiutant Cen
eral Henry A. Axliue, the immediate
command of the military will devolve
upon Major General Charles Dick and
Brlgadier Generals Speaks and Nc
Maken respectively.
Almost the entire military force of
the state, including all arms of the SER
vice, will be in line. One will be able
to see in the line all the modern and
latest improved engnery of war, Civ
ing one an adequate idea of the eff
fectiveness of American troops in the
late Spanish war.
With the military division will
come the corps of University students
from the different educational instl-
tutions of the State where military ed
ucatlon is part of the curriculum.
Among the civic features will be the
uniform rank Of numerous secret and
fraternal societies, whose brilliant uni
forms will rival the glittering display
of the military and the cadets.
Organized labor will also appear in
the line, as distinctive organizations,
along with bodies of employees from
the principal manufacturing establish
ments of the city
The commercial interests will be
represented by a thousand or more
leading business and professional men,
and the divisions including the labor
organizations, manufacturing land
commercial bodies, will be Illuminated
by a series of floats typifying the pro-
gress of the State from 1903 and 1900.
Sand last by no means. the least, it
Is proposed to have 600 or 800 news
paper men, representing the press of
the entire state, in line, with their own
band and appropriate insignia The
music which will enliven every divis-
ion of the parade will be of the high
est order.
With such an occasfon-the inaugur-
alton of the first governor of the new
century, with such complete abrOga-
ton of party lines, and such an illus
tration of the splendid achievements
of representative self-government, as
well as the low rates of fare offered by
the railroads, there should be no limit
to the attendance which should go
from every portion of the state, and
fer which, we are informed, the most
ample preparations have been made.
An information bureau in the rotunda
of the State House, will furnish all Wis
ttors with desired information as to
hotel accommodations, points of inter-
est, etc.
The reduced railway rates and spec
lal rates will be duly announced by the
local agents.
