LOCAL POLITICS.
rhe s.ere,.r,e. or De-ocratie Clubs

umn by sending 10 the CRESCENT Office after each
meeting Of the several clubs which they represent
| a synopsis of the proceedings. We are CON-
PEELED to ask this from them, as the rapidly In
creasing number of Democratic clubs in the city
render it impossible for local force, however
large, to attend every meeting. We wish to make
this column a complete compendium Of local
political intelligence, and, with the aid of or
friends, will certainly do SO. But such assistance
is necessary. We trust that the Democrats Of the
city will give it.

A numerous club of the Third District. all the

attended also, at the invitation OF the "Sprits +"
and an immense gathering of the Third District
citizens was brought together to listen TO Profess
sor Dimitry and other distinguished speakers.

mis- hearers all through his speech. He reminded
us OF the famous orators
