DEAR SIR
A second meeting OF the Democratic Club took
place al the Washington Hall, more public place
Than the room formerly occupied by this squad for
the transaction of their business. A number OF
reasons might be cited in behalf of this change. A
decent respectable, and somewhat large attendance
was antcipatedby this alteration. If the club had
anidea ofgainng converts to their cause, they should
have chosen another place for such purposes for the
Washington Hall is the old stumping ground of the
wings. Adjacent TO this house they erected their
log cabin, the great symbol of wing triumph in the
campaign of 1910.
The Democratic Club held their second meeting
at this place, consisting for the most part of young
lawyers, hedglings of the bar. Mr. Pitcher who
shot in the leg the 1910 campaign, addressed
the meeting in lengthy and tedoas speech, setting
forth the distress OF the country, and charging the
wings with misrue aud bad management OF the
public affairs, laudng President Tyler TOR his several
vetoes, and especially those OF the bank bills, and
complained OF the wings at having done nothing to-
wards furnishing the aborng classes with roast beef
and two dollars per diem Alter his elaborate et-
fort, the candidate that was defeated at the late
election, mounted the rostrum, very much how
come. you-so. This lncensed the crowd and they
let him alone in his glory.

The couple decamed at about IL o'clock at night,
proceeded on horseback to New Albany, where
