The Philadelphia Fourth of July
celebration of l777 was a public DEM
OnstratiOn, planned in advance. For
tunately we have a short contemporary
account Of what took place. The
Pennsylvania Gazette, published week.
ly by John Dunlap, tells in Its issue
Of July 8, 1777, of this first OF long
line of Independence day celebrations.
Here is the full account:
Friday, the fourth instant. being
the anniversary of the independence
of America, was celebrated In this
city with demonstrations of Joy and
festivity.
about noon, all the armed ships
and galleys In the river were drawn
up before the city, dressed In the gay
est manner. with the colors Of the
United States and streamers displayed.
At / o'clock the yards being properly
manned, they began the celebration
of the day by a discharge of thirteen
cannon from each of the galleys in
honor of the thirteen United States.
ain the afternoon an elegant dinner
was prepared for congress. to which
were invited the president and SUI
preme executive council and speaker
of the assembly of this state, the gen
eral officers and colonies Of the army
and the members of the several con-
tinental boards who were 10 town.

In Trenton the twenty-sixth OF De-
cember last attended and heightened
the festivity with some fine perform
ances suited to the joyous occasion,
while corps of British deserters
taken into the service of the Conti-
nent by the State Of Georgia, being
drawn up before the door, filled up
the intervals with feux de joie.
after dinner a number Of toasts
were drunk, all breathing independ-
ence and n genuine love of liberty and
concentrating the memories of those
brave and worthy patriots who gal
lantly exposed their lives and fell glori-
ously In defense of freedom and the
righteous cause OF their country.
Each toast was followed by dis
charge OF artillery and small arms
and suitable piece of music by the
Hesslan band The glorious Fourth
Of July was reiterated three times,
accompanied with triple discharges or
cannon and small arms.
Toward evening several troops OK
horse and corps Of artillery and a
brigade of North Carolina forces which
was In town on It's way TO join the

and the general officers.
"The evening was closed with the
ringing of bells and at night there

teen rockets on the common, and the
city was beautifully Illuminated.
Everything was conducted with the
greatest order and decorum and the
face Of JOY and gladness was uni

Thus may the Fourth OF July, That

gress postponed final consideration for
3 weeks. June IL. coiigress appointed
committee of FIVE 30 draw up the
Declaration of Independence. Lee
would naturally have Feen made chair
man, but he had been called home by
the Illness Of his wife. Thomas Jeffer-
son of Virginia was made chairman
and his colleagues we're John Adams
of Massachusetts, Benjamin Franklin
of Pennsylvania, Roger Sherman of
Connecticut and Robert L. Livingston
of New York. The committee In
structed Jefferson to write out draft
of the Declaration. Jefferson did so.
The committee made some changes
and Jefferson then made a clean copy.
Congress reassembled July /, and the
Lee resolution was passed July ..
How this action was then regarded is
shown by John Adams letter to his
wife, in WHICH he said:
"The second day of July, 17T6, will
be the most memorable epoch In the
history of America. / am apt to be.
lleye that II will be celebrated by sue
ceeding generation as the great ami
versary festival. II ought to be COM
memorated as the day Of deliverence
by solemn acts of devotion to God
Almighty. It ought to be solemnized
with pomp and parade, with shows.
games, sports, bells, bonfires. and IL
Elimination from one end of this con-
tinent to the other from this time
forward forevermore"
Jefferson then presented the report
of the Declaration committee, the d0cu-
ment now known as the Declaration
Of Independence. II was adopted the
afternoon Of July 4. John Hancock,
as president Of the congress- affixed
his signature. Charles Thompson
c0dntersigned as secretary. 1t was
then printed and sent off to the sew
eral colonies July 10. the clerk was
instructed to prepare the document for
signatures. Properly engrossed, IL was
signed by all who were present-50
members. Others signed In Septem-
Der and one member. Colonel Mexican,
did not sign until 1881. Seven men,
bers, for one reason or another. never
did sign II.
Pennsylvania, being the first colony
to receive its Declaration of indie
pendence, was the first formally to
make public the action of congress.
July 8, a general election day In Penn
sylvania, was chosen as the time. A
crowd OF about 1000 gathered near
the platform erected by the Philosoph-
ical society seven years before
from which Rlttenhouse observed the

the League of Nations. The State
remain so by plurality of not less than
10000. although Gov. Cox did his best
to win over the progressive sentiment
and make capital of the Newberry
case.
Wisconsin. always Republican
stronghold, is more Republican than
ever. The people fear the League of
Nations means everlasting war for the
United States.
Condition In North Dakota.
North Dakota, which the Democrats
even now are unwilling to concede, is
in a peculiar condition because of the
Non-Partisan League, with Democrats
and Republicans virtually united to put
it out of business. President Wilson car
ried the State four years ago by 100,
but the general disaffection with the Ad-
mnistration makes North Dakota in all
probability Republican by 10000.
There is more sentiment for Gov. Cox
in the eastern section of the State OF
Washington than in the western section
Washington was one of the early pro-
hibition States, and there is a suspicion
that Gov. Cox is wet. The women
who might be expected 20 favor the
League of Nations, are more concerned
with the liquor issue, with the result that
they will go for Senator Harding. The
business men of the State seek change
of administration. Much the same con
lie. in, rrrl,f not
is more heavily Republican, the only
coast State which went for Hughes in the
last election. Wet and dry is a consid-
GRAFTON, but for the most part the people
simply want Republicans in office.
Idaho is firmly against the League OF
Nations that is the issue there. The
people are alert on the subject and will
follow the advice of Senator Borah, one
OF the Senate irreconciliables.
AS Idaho follows Borah. Californis
will follow Senator Hiram Johnson, and
California may be counted on as Re
publican by 100,0 900. The League o.
Nations Is the chief issue, but prohibit
ton and desire for a change in ad
ministratEon also figure.
In Wyoming the Republicans have al
the better of it i'm the way of organiza.
ton. The people there fear the League
of Nations would involve the United
States in every European quarrel
Wyoming. without doubt, will go from
5000 Democratic four years ago, tc
5000 Republican.
William J. Bryan's disaffection and a
strong anti-Wilson sentiment in NE.
braslSa is likely to turn the State into
the Republican column by a heavy vote
although Nebraska Is one of the few
States in the West the local leaders will
not concede. There are many Germans
in the State who are against the Demo
Gratis.
South Dakota Is normally Republican
and so will remain. Such League OF
Nations sentiment as there Is among
the church folk is offset by their regard
for Gov Cox as n wet.
Kansas feels much the same about
the liquor issue. but on top of il is q
normal Republican sentiment and a dis.
| like for the Wilson administration
Kansas will go Republican by 100, 900
maybe 100000.

Cox is in bad company. The liquor

Suspicious of League.

With these exceptions. the West is
heavily Republican because it believes
Gov Cox to be too closely affiliated with
the Administration, is suspicious of the
League Of Nations and influenced to a
large degree because of the understand
ing that the Governor is a wet The feel
ing that existed four years ago which
was responsible for President Wilson's re-
election has entirely disappeared.
The stand against the Wilson Admin
istration in some OF the Western States
Is far more vigorous than in certain parts
of the East There is much criticism of
the Administration because of President
Wilson'S trip to France and affiliation
there with the other nations in affairs
concerning which the people feel the
United States has no business. Upon the
shoulders Of the Administration is placed
the burden of prevailing high prices and
unsettled conditions. There is "A wide
spread demand for a change.
Two great factors in the Northwest
make things bad for the Democrats.
The Non-Partisan League, which is
I dominant in North and South Dakota,
is opposed to the League of Nations on
the theory that IL is apt TO interfere
with the carrying out OF some OF the
Non-Partisan ideals. The leaders OF
the organization, or some of them at
least. are working to swing the men,
bership away from the Democratic
ticket. The word is being sent out that
neither Senator Harding nor Gov. Cox
fills the bill so far as the Non-Par-
tisan League is concerned, but that II
would be just as well to vote the Re-
publican ticket in order to register a
rebuke to the present system of gov
eminent
At the same time Gov. Cox and mem
bers of the Democratic organization are
working to win over the Non-Partisan
League support.
