WAsHrsoros, Sept. q, 1913.

The District OF Columbia did its duty manfulIv
last night towards electng both General Taylor
and General Cass President OF the United States
A democratic meeting came off in this city and
wing demonstration was also had in Georgetown.
The Rough and Ready clubs If Washington turned
out In force with lanterns transparencies, music,
&C, and look up their line of march for George
town about haf-past seven o'clock Whilst pass-
ing Seventh street they were met by the Cass and
Butler Club OF the 9TH ward who, mistaklnp them
for compatrlots tell in behind and marched nm the
avenue to the tune of" Rally Wings" as nnocentlv
as can well be imagined The procession arrived
at the democratic platform at the corner OF 18th
1t for granted that there they would stop. On the
contrary louder played the musIc-more hereby
were the flags waved-6rmer was the tread of
those on front In the midst of their establishment
one OF the democrats espled transparency with
the ominous words General Taylor never
surTenders," and the whole truth at once flashed
upon them. There were they. the pink of
democracy, In the very midst Of the enemy's
ranks assisting IN wing demonstration!
The thing was too preposterous, and hearty
burst OF laughter greeted the unfortunate wlphts-
in which, however, 10 their credit be 1t said, thew
heartily joined. The wing prore ssOn moved on
and the Seventh Ward Club, quietly awaited the
arrival OF the balance Of the democracy from Jack
son Hall, who marched up the avenue amid the
firing OF cannon.
At half-past eight o'clock the meeting wa
called to order, and John Washington. IT,, Esq.
appointed chairman 1t was one of the largest
meetings we have ever seen here.
Gen. McCalla, second auditor OF the Treasury
first made his DO ", and stated that Mr. Gallagher
would certainly speak. He had not yet arrived
from Baltimore, but was expected every minute
Mr.. McCaa entered somewhat at length into a

which he attributed to the able management of the
present government Under the administration of
Mr.. Tyler, United States stocks could not be sold
unless at great discount; now they comm nded
a premium. The present administration and the
de mocra tic party advocated the same measures as
our foreia'hers fought and bled for at Bunker Hill
and yorktown, and we have right to hope that
the same overrullng Providence will protect us as
it did them. The question to be decided at the
ensuing election, was whether that long and
prosperous system OF government was to be con-
tinued or to be broken up win the election of the
other party place our finances in better condition,
Will the establishment OF national bank do so?
Will your eagles be better kept than in independent
Treasury? no. No. NoD Do you want a hg tariff?

greatest lawyer in the United State Daniel Webster
never had more money than he could conveniently
