It; will fully sense tho magnificent, work of tho Fathers of tho Kcpublic, and the blessed results that have flowed therefrom; but it will not have a formal for-mal celebration; because differences of opinion and practice on fundamental principles forbid that unrestrained coalescence of tho population that is essential to a truo and loyal celebration. celebra-tion. But the children will have a happy time tomorrow in a big and splendid picnic in Liberty Park. There will bo music and enjoyment, and a truo outdoor out-door happy day.
