LOCAL POLITICS.

viii confer q favor upon the editors OF tins COL
umn by sending 70 the CRESCENT Office after each
meeting of the several clubs which they represent,
q synopsis of the proceedings. We are COM
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 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.

Mounted Blair Guard of '6s.
In our notice yesterday of the proceedings of
the above gallant club, at their last meeting, we
we're guilty OF many omissions. Not having been
able to be present ourselves, we were compelled
10 rely upon the information furnished US by
others and consequently erroneous, for which we
ssk the gallant Guards pardon and will strive to
make amends. The several changes among the
| officers occurred as follows: Mr. Kelly having
resigned, Mr.. Gle. Drmeyer who had been pro-
| NOTED from the position Of chief marshal to the
presidency, then resigned, and thereupon Mr. R.
o. Elliot, the vicepTesident, was elected presi-
| dent Mr. Geo. P. Chldress to the vice. presden-
cy. and Mr.. j. I. Wilson to the vacant position of
chief marshal.
This club is now $50 strong, and we warn the
seymour Knights and Blair Knights that they will
have TO look well TO their laurels, for this club
are going to fight for their spurs, and they have
the spirit that insures success.

other lady friends. 10 which presentation all gallant
