LOCAL POLITICS.

The radicals are beginning to show signs of
alright at the immense numbers of Democrats
that are coming forward to sustain the glori-
Gus cause.
" To count their numbers were 20 count the sands
| That ride in whirlwinds the psrchd Lybian air,
| Or waves, that, when the blustTing North EN-
brOis the Baltic,
| Thunder on the German shore"
| The Eleventh Ward.
A laundering meetingo of the Fourth Dis
trict patriots was held Thursday night at the
corner of Tchoupitoulas and Fourth streets.
| Colonel BoswOrth was elected president, Mr..
Mount secretary and Judge Collins grand
marshal. After organizing, the meeting
passed a resolution to meet periodically, and
to give due notice in the papers of such meet
| ings. The eleventh ward Democrats have
very sensibly determined to meet twice at no
one place, but to assemble in different por-
tons of the ward. When an appeal was made
for funds, "put me down for ten dollars"
was heard in every part of the spacious room.
In moment upwards of a hundred dollars
was forth coming-an amount which was
deemed sufficient for the time. The eleventh
meets next Saturday to elect two delegates
to the parish convention.
The Tenth ward.
| There was very respectable and numer-
Gus meeting of the citizens of the Fourth
District held last evening, at Eagle Hall, cor
ner of Felicity and Prytania streets. Colonel
James Strawbridge was called on to preside.

into the election of regular officers, the result
of which is as follows: Col F. n. Ogden,

Shute, secretary; w. A. Bell, treasurer; c.
w. Squires, grand marshal; ]. NJ Payne, S.
B. Newman, W. C. Duxberry, first, second and

and after the usual business the meeting adj
| journed, subject to call. Hurrah for the
Fourth, the youngest and most energetic of
the sister districts of New Orleans.
The Tenth Ward Workingmen's Club
Held one of the best attended and most en-
thusiastic meetings we have yet Witnessed in
this canvass. 1t was evident that the bone
and muscle of the tenth ward are determined
through any lack of exertions on their part.

dent, James Fl. Huckins; first vice president,
Frank Gassner; second vice president, Robt.
Mullen; secretary, Edward H. Cannon; treas
urer, Peter Kaiser; marshal, William Red
mond finance committee, Thos Mclaughlin,
George Andrews and Thos. Barlow
After the election addresses were delivered
by Messrs. Noble and Huckins, that of the lat
ter being full of practical wisdom and hard
common sense. Messrs. Huc1ins Stack
and Stokes were appointed a committee to
wait on the State central committee to obtain
further information and instructions relative to
the election of delegates to the parish execu-
tive committee shortly to be formed. The
committee will report on Tuesday night next.
A committee was also appointed to draft a
series of rules for the regulation of the club
The organization now numbers over one hun
bred real 'oorking men; and from remarks we
heard made by various gentlemen of the meet
ing, we are sure that it will make itself felt
Friday was selected as the day for the regular
weekly meetings, and Capt. Chambers ware
house, on Tchoupitoulas street, near Philip,
