Democratic Club-Organixation.

The meeting on Saturday evening last
was a splendid one in numbers and in en-
thusiasm. Judge Baugh made the open
ing address in such manner as to elicit the
warnest applause. All who knew the
veteran "INcthodist Democrat as Murdoch
styled Mills Of Dubuque, can imagine
what q raking Mr.. Baugh gave the oppo-
sition. His stories in illustration were
extremely we'll chosen.
An organization was effected and now
we know how to work. In another place
will be found the report of Rules, Regu-
~lations, Officers and Committees.
In the absence of A. p. II. who is said
to have been called for somewhat sharply,
Mr.. Stoneman accepted a vociferous call
and made a speech Of such power that it
awakened shouts which are nothing less
than %premonitions Of Victory in Novem-
Der. During Stoneman's address q negro
from abroad put in q few lippy remarks
which Stoneman responded to in m indul-
gent spirit that did honor to his judg-
ment. The impulse Of many democrats
and some republicans was to knock the
the foolish, ill-advised ''colored citizen
down stairs, but he was finally led off the
field without receiving violence
Below arc the proceedings. On Saturday
night, August 18th, We will have another
good time of rejoicing over the glorious
prospect Of relief from Bondage. The
people are coming to their senses and their
interests so cheerfully that our committees
can scarcely give them standing ROOM
After the LIST of September the doors of
the Democratic Equal Rights Church will
be closed
