Club.
On Saturday evening last, the Demo
Gratis designed to meet Mt their hcad-quar-
tiers in the Cambrian to organic. Notice
was given to Mr.. Rowland, ono Of the pro-
p~rietors, to light up. For some reason the
Hall was not lighted and the lamps were
not trimmed as per agreement. The con-
sequence was that 200 men or more were
disappointed. A call to order and 81 aa.
journment to Bass & Elmendorfs Office was
next moved. The organization took place.
VIM. Moncriefin the chair, and l.. Isaacs'
Sec'y, A. j. Jordan was elected permanent
Pres. of the club, l.. 1saacs Sec'y. The
names of the vice presidents and executive
committeeman will be given on next Sat
nrday night. Richardson, Stoneman and
Cawelti were appointed to report rules
and regulations for the consideration OF
the next meeting. After several votes OF
thanks the meeting adjourned to Saturday
next, when we will have a meeting that
will wake the opposition up in as mild a
manner as their nerves will permit.
Judge Baugh will give an opening
address and A. p. Richardson is
requested to ''sail in" but the public need
not bet much on the ~"sail." We don't
know how to make a speech, and hence we
seldom make al exposure of our forensic
weakness.
The opposition were much amused at
the failure of our last meeting. Our lights
were in the hands of our opponents and
the lights did not show. We had the men
on hand to fill the hall, but no lights. The
RAIDS, on Thursday had the lights but no
men. Our failure gave them a poultice
for their woful disappointment and VIC do
not blame them for laughing at US. This
will have a good effect on Democrats and
Conservatives.
! Frank Hammer, Dolkert and others will
organize a Glce Club. Come out and hear
the songs and tho speeches and the Club
Constitution. The skies are clear for
Victory.

Last week we published a letter from
DR.. Bardwell Of Marion, Linn county, Iowa,
in reply to q dem md for money to assist
tho morality party in their efforts to
perpetuate the thieving which has loaded
the people with debt and taxes. Baydrell
didn't happen to be an officer and lie re-
piled in tone and temper just to suit us.
Mr. Lathrop is an officer and his exposure
ofthe infamous demand upon him b. asthor
izing its publication does honor to him.
Our columns are open to all those who arc
manly enough to vcntilate the villainy
now going forward. We do not have to
presume that every public officer is requir-
ed "to come down with his piece" because
there are exposures srficicnt-and this
one is a clincher-to warrant: It's in saying
that all are assessed for the corruption
fund and those who do not erpose are par.
ties to the infamy. AS a matter Of curi.
osity the thinking portion of the public
would like to know how much our homt
guardians Of the Nations honor are re.
quired to pay, in orier to retain their pos
hions. We have no space this morning for
extended comments. Read this cores
pondence, and proceed to careful thinking,
We expect more letters Of the same sort in
q few days. As the larger officers are
beyond the reach of control by any power
us the smaller ones are readable by the
Executive Departments and as the tide j,
running toward Democratic success, w
advise all hands to expose this business t.
the world:
