Will confer a favor upon the editors OF this col.

meeting of the several clubs which they represent
a synopsis Of the proceedings. We are COM

political intelligence, and, with the aid of our
friends, will certainly do 30. But such assistance
is necessary. We trust that the Democrats of the
city will give it.

years Of misrule, yet find the means TO testify
their hatred Of the men and the party which have
brought about that misrule? No ! the ardor is

tor a while. But after these affairs, aud, as we
said above, as If TO show how thoroughly our peo-
IIe are in earnest, have chronicled a series of
presentations, each vieing with each other in
splendor and enthusiasm, and now we have 10 tell
Of one more, which in every particular may chal.

EVERYBODY knows the Chantcleer Club, so Nc
shall not lose time IN telling readers what sort
Of men compose it, but proceed at once TO state
that O'Clock last night found our reporter com
fOrtsbly installed in carriage, for winch he was
indebted TO the kindness of the Chanticleers pre-

The first two clubs came marching up Ia hne style
to the headquarters Of the Chandeliers, opposite

pleasure Of seeing tbs Chandeliers put through,
and put through 10 q manner that does equal ere

A mounted delegation from that staunch and
gallant band, the Crescent Mounted Club, marched

Fossil Guards and the young and active Frank
