From way down town, made last night, in con-
junction with the other Third District clubs, one
of the largest and handsomest turn-outs we have
yet Witnessed The occasion which brought them
out was the presentation to them Of banner-the
testimonial given them by the ladies of the Third
District OF bow high they stand in the estimation
OF those fair patriots. The ceremonies took place
at the residence of Mr.. Fuds, No l2s Port street.
and the presentation address made by Miss Emma
Fulda, ran as follows = -. Il ..
"Ofcers and Members Seymour Yedettes;
" Gentlenlen-0n behalf of the ladies of the
Third District ! present you this banner, to
encourage you in your noble efforts in the Demo-
cratic cause. Take 1t with you as an evidence
that those endesvors are appreciated, and receive
the assurance that woman's encouragement (our
only participation) will never be wanting 10 stimu
late you, if need be, to greater efforts. May it
ever remind you, when borne In your van, OF the
sentiment which induced its gift, and lead you

To the beautiful little speech Of Miss Fulda,
Hon. +. L. Jewell responded in his well known,
frequent and hearty applause which they well
meTfted. The Vedettes then, escorted by the
Ninth Ward Club, the Rousseau Guards, the
HibeTnia Clnb-sn organization Of rshmen who
hold their heads up-and the Seventh Ward Junior
Club, marched TO the residence Of Mr.. Lawson,
No. II EDghien street and there received from
the hands Of that gentleman handsome wreath.
Their president, Mr.. Cochran answered for the
Vedettes. in brief but emphatic phrases. After
this, the club marched of to enjoy the hospitality
of Mr.. Cochran, whose house on Spain street was
thrown open for their reception.
That such demonstrations aslthis of the Vedettes
and their friends may increase and multiply 10 the
econd and Third Districts, is the honest wish OF
every Democrat. 1t was that portion Of the city
which last April filed up such Overwhelmingly
Radical msjorities. The field for work there is
therefore the best. Let Us not neglect to improve
it.

giving hard knocks to Radicalism during this
campaign. All success to the Zousves.
