A CENTRAL GERMAN DEMOCRATIC CLUB.
Last night a small number of German citi-
zens assembled at the headquars OF the
Democratic party, corner of Gravier and
ST. Charles streets, for the purpose of or
ganizing a Central German Democratic
Club for the support of Greeley and Brown
and the united State ticket. The meeting
was called to order by Mr.. David Goldman,
who, having explained the purposes of the
organization, called Mr.. Z. S. Wurzburger
to act as temporary president, who ad-
Ip fIo ,+g ~, No,-
man. Mr.. H. Won Werthern was elected
temporary secretary.
On the motion of Mr.. Goldman, to 90
into permanent organization, considerable
debate ensued, but the motion ultimately
prevailed. The following gentlemen were
elected permanent officers: President, Mr.
E. S. Wurzburger; first vice president
Louis LeOnhardt; second vice president, A
Barrett; secretary, H. Won Werthern ;
executive committee, Messrs. Leonhardt, Z. |

+ Mr.. Carlton Hunt addressed the meeting |
at some length in English. He reviewed |
the history Of the establishment Of the Re |
form party in this State, payed glowing |
tribute to Horace Greeley as an honest and |
upright man, whose election every German |
should endeavor to bring about.
Mr.. +. G. Zacharie was then introduced, |
and sang the same old song Of Governor
Warmoths connection with the Liberal |
party. The Camp street organ Of the Gov
,ernor had called the Democratic party the
"last-ditchers." Perhaps they were. He
then recited the history Of the words, which,
he said, were of a military origin. He ad-
mitted that in reality the Democratic party
had retreated to their last ditch, but were
going to make one more strenuous effort to
redeem their former position and save the
party from falling into this "last ditch"
A string of resolutions indosing the nomi-
nation of Greeley and Brown and the united
State ticket, were read, aud after some dis
cussion, adOpted.~
The executive committee being instruct
ed to find suitable hall, and few mem
bers having enrolled their names, the meet
ing adjourned.
DR.. w. H. Hire was elected last night by
the Scpewmen's Benevolent Association to
the post of physician, DR.. Howard Smith
having resigned. The Doctor deserves the
congratulations of his friends as one whose
and reputation are constan tly on
he increase. The association has for a
ong time been among the first of similar
bodies for sobriety, gentlemanly deport-
nent and industry, and we sincerely hope ]
Dr.. Hire will have little work to do.
