showed the urgent necessity for this concen-
tratioii, and the danger that might ensue
from dividing our forces.

The Magnolia Hangers.
Despite the inclemency of the weather the
Democrats of the first, second and tenth
wards, residing in the rear of Dryades street,
who constitute the above club, turned out in
fine force last Wednesday evening. con-
stitution and bylaws were adopted, as was
also an ably written series of resolutions
expressing the views of that portion of the
| Democracy relative to the great political
issues now before us. Addresses were deliv-
cred by Mr.. VIM Rogers and Judge P.
Childress, both of which gentlemen were
enthusiastically applauded.
An important action of the meeting was the
appointment of committee to take charge
| of the organization of a colored club in
that portion of town. The club meets tonight
at Mr.. Bensel's coffeehouse, corner of Mag
nolia and Melpomene streets Able speakers
will address the meeting and We advise all
supporters of the good cause who desire to see
body of men jealous in the interests of
Democracy and to hear the sound principles
of our party enunciated, to be on hand to-
night.
The Seventh Ward Democratic Club
Held a large meeting last night at the cor
ner of Frenchmen and Victory streets, for the
purpose of electing delegates to the Parochial
Executive Committee
| The report of the committee appointed at
the last meeting to take steps to organize an
auxiliary German club in the rear of the
ward, which was favorable to such an organi-
cation, was received We here observe that
the men who propose to form this club are
principally ex-soldiers of the Union army,
and formerly voted and held with the Repub-
ican party, but who, disguised with the
course pursued by that reckless faction, and
seeing no hope of ever really restoring the
Union but through the dominance of Demo-
cratic principles and Democratic men, have
votes for Seymour and Blair.
And so the work goes bravely on |; let us
hope that when the presidential election does
come the radical majority of 1900, which the
manipulations of the carpet-baggers made
the seventh ward give, will be entirely an
initiated.

Held meeting last night at Chambers Ware
house, ON Tchoupitoulas street. A series of

remarks. We have not the space even to
epitomize the remarks of these gentlemen.
