Secretaries of Democratic Clubs
Will confer q favor upon the editors of this col
umn by sending to the CRESCENT Office after each
meeting Of the several clubs which they represent,
a synopsis of the proceedings. We are COM
PEELED 10 ask this from them, as the rapidly in
creasing number of Democratic clubs In the city
render il impossible for a local force, however
large, 10 attend every meeting. We wish TO make
this column q complete compendium of local
political intelligence, and, with the aid OF our
friends, will certainly do so. But such assistance
is necessary. We trust that the Democrats Of the
city will give it.
