,panied by the largest political
demonstration the city has ever
seen, according to the democratic
executive coz mittee which has made
accommodations to seat over 2,200
people in the Auditorium, where the
democratic gubernatorial candidate
will appear. Mr.. Wilson will speak
for about one hour and ton minutes,
but owing to standing arrangements
he will be compelled to CO. mence at

Members of the various ward
clubs will convene at pre-arranged
places and assemble at Smith and
State stress before 1880 o'clock.
Three bands and two fife and drum

for ladies in the Auditorium. Sever
al hundred seats have been reserved

erected at the stage end OF the large
hall. on which 200 prominent citi-
zens, including practically all of the
ministers, will be seated. On the
main floor and in the balconies $50
more seats have been added, making
the seating capacity of the hall about
2,2OO. It is estimated, however,
that the attendance, including those
who stand in the rear, will exceed
$500.
Mr.. Wilson will arrive In this city
by automobile at $3.50 o'clock. The
executive committee will receive him
at the Packer House, where he will
dine. Following the dinner he will
hold a public reception in the lobby
of the Packer Hoqrn until 8:15
o'clock. Then he will be escorted to
the Auditorium,
Three bands, including c. Howard
Smiths and A. B. Nelson's, and the

$500 or more democrats parade
from the hotel to the Auditorium.

Club will convene at Watson avenue
and Smith street; the fifth and sixth
ward clubs at Hall avenue and State
street; and the third ward at the

State street, arriving there before
1880. They will proceed immediate
ly to the Packer House, and without
delay back to the Auditorium.
Thomas F. Burke will marshal the
parade.
The Auditorium will be decorated
as 1t has never been trimmed before.
Laggren Brothers, of Elizabeth, will
decorate the hail. An entire day
will be required to decorate the
building.
After Mr.. Wilson's address Sena-
tor George 8. Silzer will speak. He
will be followed by the city and
county candidates. After his ad-
dress in this city Mr.. Wilson will
leave for his home in Princeton by
automobile
The necessity of Mr. Wilson be-
PIrning his address not later than 8
o'clock is occasioned by an agree
ment with newspapers of this and
other states. He has consented to
the newspapers request that he
speak early so that his speech may
be published in the morning editions.
Delegations will be present from
South Amboy, South River, New
Brunswick and other places in the
county. It is needless to speak of
Mr.. Wilson's ability as an orator, so
widely is 1t known The democratic
committee believes 1t will be difficult
to secure a seat In the Auditorium
after o'clock, the time scheduled
for the candidates address.
