SINGLE THING LACKING.
Time For the Greatest of All Labor Day
Celebrations All But Here.
Muncie Ready For the Hosts Except That
the Flags and Bunting Is Not Yet
Floating — Get Them Out.
The dawn of Labor dav is on us, with the strongest possible indications that the greatest tribute that has ever been paid the laboring men’s natal day in Indiana, will occur in Muncie tomorrow.
The final meeting of the general committee has been held, and the general windup preparatory to the celebration exercises proper, will occur this afternoon at a meeting of Grand Marshal Toban and his aids and the marshals of the various locals, at the National hotel, this house having been selected as the general headquarters. This meeting will occur at 1:30 o'clock.
Grand Marshal Toban has information from the neighboring cities to the effect that each will furnish their proportion of people, and one or more brass bands of music, and he has no reason to lower his estimate here to participate in the program.
After the parade there will be the public speaking at public square, and then the program will occur at the fair ground, free to all.
During the afternoon the business meeting of the convention will occur, new officers being selected, and the place of the next meeting decided on.
The parade will be the feature of the celebration, and it will move as soon as the delegations arrive, possibly starting at 11 o’clock, but as much sooner as possible.
