Sete oeeeennoetntntnte PLANNING RECEPTION | How the Arrangements for Today’s Events Were Organized. (HE APPOINTMENT OF COMMITTEES Major Sylvester Had the Affairy Well in Hand. SOME CHANGE OF PLANS The glorious reception which was ex- tended to the returned District Volunteer Regiment today had t‘s inception at the meeting that was held in the National Theater on the night of August 24. That was one of the large:t, most spontaneous und representative gatherings ever held in the city of Washington. The theater was packed to its utmost capacity, and hun- dreds went away unable to obtain admis- sion. The meeting was presided over by District Commissioner Ross, who delivered a brief and patriotic address, showing the riety of giving the heartiest kind of a weicome home to the soldiers of the Dis- trict of Columbia, whe had gone to the war to uphold the honor of the stars and stripes. Addresses breathing the most exalted pa- triotism were delivered by Postmaster Gen- eral Smith, Rev. Dr. D. J. Stafford and Cor- poral Tanner, and the utmost enthusiasm was manifested by the vast audience at the tributes paid to the soldierly qualities and the hercism, fortitude and patriotism of the District volunteers; and when the ex- ercises closed with the singing of the “Star Spangled Banner” by >. Noyes | there was the ¥ d of cheering. ce on Arrangements. | At this meeting the first real business was transacted. Commissioner Ross ap- pointed Major Richard Syivester chairman [ of the committee of arrangements, and Mr. John Joy Edson chairman of the committee | on finance. ‘The following night the full committee of | arrangements was determined upon. A full meeting of the committee was held on the following Monday night, at which the plan of reception was set forth by Chairman Sylvester, and the chairmen | of the various subcommittees were an- | nounced. They were: Richard Syivester, | chairman; Harry L. West, vice chairman; T. Frederick Alvey, secretary; John Joy Edson, chairman committee on finance; Kd- ward J. Stellwagen, chairman committee on tickets and invitations; Dr. Francis R. Lane, chairman committee on programs; Theodore W. Noyes, chairman committee on press; Colonei John M.

Change of Pla: At that time It was the general expecta- tion that the regiment would remain in camp for about three weeks, In order to recuperate from the debilitating effects of the torrid clime in which the men had served and the hardships they had endured, and an aborate plan of exercises was out to do them honor on their re- It was-intended that there should be a parade with an escort embracing all the militia in the District and also all the veteran and patriotic organizations, a line of march extending as far as 17th street, with a review of the troops by the Presiz dent, who, with his cabinet, was to be placed on a platform erected’ on Penns: Vania avenue in front of the White House. This platform was also to be large enough to coptain a chorus of 500 singers, who had been intrusted by Gen. Wheeler the discretion of fixing the date of th2 return of his regiment, decided that the men should leave Camp Wikoff Thursday, Sep- tember 8, ard reach Washington Friday morning, September 9. This decision was quite a surprise to the committee of arrangements, especially as it was Delieved tat a smbcomnyttee which Maj— had been sent to Montauk had in some way influenced the dcision, and at the meeting last Friday night a committee, censisting of Major Syivester, Mr. Harry L. West and Mr. Theodore Noyes, was ap- pointed to ascertain if it were not possibile to chang> the date This committee first visited Adjutant General Corbin, who told them that the matter rested entirely with Col. Harries, and then went to Montauk and had a co! ference with Col. Harri2s, the result which was that "y acquiesced in the ci cnel's decision, being satisfied that it, had been the best under the circumstanc»: When this committee returned Monday it was then seen by Major Sylvester and the others associated with him that the aborate plan mapped out could not be carried out at this time, but it was rr so'ved that such a reception as the soldicrs would be able to endure should b> given them now, and that further honors shor !d be bestowed upon them when they shill have fully recovered their strongth. A ccerdingly, all the subcommittees have been working with the utmost earnestness and diligence, and the result of their efforts was seen in the simple yet sincere and hearty welcome accorded the soldiers today. Sylvester, Chaiman. THE BIG CHORUS. How It Was Organized for the Re- ception Today. At the first meeting of the music com- mittee Mr. E. B. Hay, the chairman, stated that it was preposed to organize a chorus of, say, 500 to greet the returning volunteers with patriotic songs as they should march past the President. It was then expected that there would be a re- viewing stand in front of the White House and that the chorus would be massed upon that stand. The early home-coming of the regiment made a change of plan in regard to the chorus necessary, and the chorus was massed upon the east front of the treasury. In order to work systematically Mr. Hay appointed the following committee on chorus: Dr. Frank:in T. Howe, chairman; Messrs. G. F. Johnston, D. B. MacLeod, Percy S. Foster, William A. Haley, M Anna Louise Powell, Mrs. H. Clay Brow ing and Mrs. Thomas C. Noyes. An invi- tation was extended to ail members of church choirs and of musical organizations to participate in this chorus and to meet at Nationa! Rifles’ Hall last Tuesday even- ing. At that time, although the weather was unusually hot, there was an attend- auce of about 125 when Mr. Percy S. Fos- ter, who had been unanimously elected to conduct the chorus, took his baton for re- hearsal. Only patriotic songs were sun; but all entered into their work with enth siasm, and the rehearsal was eminently satisfactory. Another rehearsal was held at the same place last night, when the number present wi over 300. Printed slips contain- ing the words of “The Star Spangic? Ban- ner, “America” ‘and “Home, Sweet Home,” were donated by McGill & Wal- lace, and these were sung with great e?- fect. It was decided that the first song that should greet the soldiers as trey passed up isth street should be “Home, Sweet Home.” Brief addresses were made by Mr. Hay and Dr. Howe, thanking the ladies and gentlemen for their attendance, and expressing gratification at the excel- lent singioz. Mr. Hay said that, owing to the brief t me for preparation at this time, it was intended to have another celebration of welcome next month, when music would also be a feature, and that he desireé to erlist the present members of the chorus for service on that occasion. Every ong expressed a willingness to participate. The con mittee is gratified at the ready response that was made by the local sine- “ Were to sing patriotic songs. and th Presi- dent was to present to Col. Harries medals for every man in the regiment. Immediately after this plan had been po whey to it was learned that the condition of the soldiers was much more serious than yo been anticipated, and that there was a ‘eeling of homesickness that made them all want to-get back at the 2arliest possis bie date. In fact, so strong was this feel- ing that they would have returned as soon as they were released from the detention camp had this bsen possible. Yielding to this desire on the part of his officers and men, Col. Harries, to whom ers, nearly every choir being represented, and some of the best vocalists in the Dis- trict attending to lend the .ajd of their trained voices to the welcom f the re- turning volunteers.

THEIR NOMINEE NOT YET KNOWN Believe That War Enthusiasm Will Die Away. CONFERENCE OF LEADERS Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. NEW YORK, September 8, 1898. ‘The democrats have reached the conclus- ion that it will be Colonel Roosevelt who will lead the repttlican ticket and they are preparing for the emergency. They have an idea that this is a democratic year and they say they fully agree with Col- | onel Roosevelt when he told his men that fer four days after they were mustered out they would be herees and then their work would be forgotten; and it would only be by simiiar efforts in the ordinary walks of life that they wouid prosper. Thé dem- ocratle managers believe that before elec- tion day the war enthusiasm will have abated aad that state issues will be the issues upon which the battie will be fought. Consequently they are getting material to- gether to show the alleged wickedness and extravagance that existed under republi- can ruie in the work on the canals and in cther state departments. Senator McCar- ren is getting this into shape and sending it out through the state as rapidly as pos- sible. The old Tilden style of campaigning, “tookkeeping appiied *> politics,” acknow!- edged to be the mus. thorough, is being followed, and the results are expected to be a complete democratic victory. The taik about the head of the ticket, however, still shows an unsettled condi- tion. The fricnds of National Committee- man Frank Campbell of Bach, who has been given his home delegation, say he is just the man for the place. He is a gold democrat at heart, but supported the sil- ver piatform to be regular, and hence his friends say the silver men would not op- pose him and the gold men would not. They announce their intention of making a great fight for hia. Buffalo insists that Judge Titus wil! be named, and with this flavor of wild west that is found in Buffalo they are enthu- siastically pushing his course all over the state. Elliott Danforth and John B. Stench- field are untiring in their journeys up and down the state to corral votes. In the meaniime, the organization seems to think that D. Cady Herrick is the best card to play that has yet been turned up. A Ramer About Hill. One of the wildest, weirdest yarns that ever floated into the metropolis came in the shape of the story that “‘severa! Piatt leaders in Binghamton had obtaine? defin- ite information that Richard Croker had tendered the Syracus nomination to ex Senator Hill, and that that gentleman had decided te accept." Croker, it Stated there was every chance for a dem- ocratic victery this fall with a united pariy. The democratic governor would be the next democratic candidate for Presi- dent. Therefore it wouid require a man with a national career,and such a man was found in Hill. As a further inducement, Croker offered the support of Tammany in 1900 should Hill be elected this year. What a picnic it would have been for Croker had he made this proposition and had Hitt ac- cepted it! What a chance to knife some- body, and forever put them on the top shelf! But the story is too-much lke a yarn to think about. Conference of Leaders. A conference was held today at the democratic headquarters, which was at- tended by United States Senator Murphy, Richard Croker and State Senator P. H. McCarren, who is chairman of the com- mittee of ten, which is practically running the democratic campaign until the state convention meets. It is understood that the subject discussed at the conference was the frequently recurring reports tha. Elliott FP. Danforth is gaining ground in the various counties of the state. Mr. Dan- forth himself called on Senator McCarren to@ay in his capacity of chairman of the democratic state committee, but nothing was said in regard to his candidacy. Sen- ator Murphy and Mr. Croker expressed themselves as satisfied with the work that is being done at headquarters. Mr. Croker said that the democrats could beat Roose- velt if the republicans nominated him, but Geclined to give the name of the man they would. pit against him. “We are not ing the name of our candidate these days,” said Mr. Croker. “How is Roosevelt to be beaten?” he was asked. “Easily enough,” replied Croker. “The republicans won't support him." “Never mind that,” “The republicans, I say, will not support thim. If Roosevelt is nominated he'll be { beaten worse than Folger.” The wigwam has named its delegates to the convention, and Richard Croker, who hasn't been at a convention since’ 1891, when Flower and Sheehan were nominated, was elected a delegate from the twenty- ninth district. John C. Sheehan was elect- ed from the ninth district. Peter F. Meyer, Croker’s partner, was elected from the thirty-first district. So on through the list well-known Tammany men were elected delegates to the state convention. Dinner to Editors. Chairman McCarren is making great preparations for the dinnygr to be given tomorrow night by the démocratic state campaigners to the democratic editors of the state. It will be a great affair from all that can be tearned. There are in con- templation thirteen different cocktails, and these are to be followed with thirteen kinds of wine, and later on, when the democratic editors are imbued with intensely demo- cratic, enthusiastic ideas, thirteen cordials, frapped, are to be trotted out. Between umes there is to be a little food. continued Croker. “We are all good democrats this year,” says McCarren. He gives no heed to sil- ver democrats who meet at Albany or else- where. They are all democrats, he be- lieves, and will be in line when election day comes. All sorts of democrats—those whe believe in anything in the shape of money, those who believe in overturning the Supreme Court of the United States, those who believe in “appropriating” dele- gates regularly elected co the democratic national convention, and all other folks— are welcome, according to McCarren. ———— Returning From Porto Rico.
