the way of preparation to be made the Bryan meeting here on the 26t There are many matters t^bearran ed, but they are gradually shapit themselves so as to meet the conditioi that may arise on that day. Fro present indications it looks asthoug this day will be the grandest that Jacl sonville has ever attempted, and u pains will be spared to make the occi sion an enjoyable one that the peop will not soon forget. It is perfectl right that Mr. Bryan should be give a grand ovation at the time of his visi to his former home. During the pa* few months many cities and towns i the state, and in fact in many state* have been proud to honor Mr. Brya during this campaign of education, an why should not the people with whoi he once associated do honor to hiu the greatest statesman of the preset] day?Every patriotic citizen who believe that this country would he bettered i the free coinage of silver should tak pride in decorating his house on Bryai day. The liue of march for the parade will be published in the Courier am as soon as that is done, let the peopb along that route decorate their house with national colors, the national em bleins that Mr. Bryan, when he take the oath of office, will swear to cherishuphold and protect. For the eveniniparade let the houses be decorater with Chinese lanterns and lights o different colors, so that the parade a that time may be the most imposinj one that the people of this city havi ever witnessed.There will be speaking from 2o’clocl in the afternoon, when Mr. Bryan wil make his eloquent address, until latlt; in the evening in all the halls in thlt; city so that the people will not want ai any time for good sound free silvei doctrine.
