DEMOCRATIC WARD MEETINGS
The organization of the Democracy in
the several wards is proving work of
tribulation, not well calculated to work
patience, as they experience much
trouble with unsatisfactory results.
The Democracy Of the Ninth Ward
were earnestly invited to meet at the
spacious warehouses adjoining the
freight depot, as it was thought there
would be room enough, and there was.
We found eighteen persons there
assembled when we arrived. which
number was increased to twenty-four
including three or four Republicans,
who called in out of curiosity. This
vast assemblage was lighted up by
three star candles stuck upon pair
of Fairbanks's scales.
Ben. Mesker was ostensibly the
Chairman previously appointed for
the meeting BY the Central Commit
tee-the old Democratic doctrine of
allowing the people to speak for them
selves, and of choosing their own
officers, having been ignored
Peter Maier was seated at the right
hand of the President, and engineer
ed the affair, suggesting every move
ment that was made.
The Ninth Ward Club was for
mally organized by electing Ben.
Mesker permanent President and
Jacob Kuhn Secretary, after which
they adjourned over to Mesker's
store to obtain pen and ink with
which to enroll the names of such as
desired to join the Club, and at the
same time resolving to meet again on
Thursday night and organize more.
FIFTH WARD MEETING.
The Democracy of the Fifth Ward
turned out in larger numbers. We
were told that there had been one
hundred present, but there were but
thirty-fve names enrolled. John
Haney had been appointed Chairman
by the leaders, and presided with
much grace and dignity. DR.. Cloud
acted as Secretary. The permanent
officers are John Haney, President;
II. w. Cloud, Secretary; Herman
Fendrich and Ezra Hall, Vice Presi-
dents, and Henry Gumberts, Treas
urer. 1t is not to be understood.
however, that, because the assets of
the Club are committed to a pawn
troker, the Democracy of the Fifth
Ward has +" gone up spout"
President Haney suggested that
they should adopt a good style of
lamp, and that each member should
buy his own and control it, land
then" said he when the Democracy
is ended it viii be Of use to the women
at home" That is what we call prac-
teal economy. An Executive Com
mittee was appointed. TO whom the
question of lamps was referred.
The meeting adjourned to meet
again on Thursday night.

on charge of stealing $50 90 from
Kramer Il Heike, at the Evansville
Wooden Factory, was brought before
Esquire Walker yesterday. Ma er

He had been keeping books for the
above named firm, and had in his
possession when arrested the key to
the safe. Not giving the necessary
bond, he was sent to jail. Nader is a
