We would suggest to tho several
working. committees appointed at
the democratic meeting that in
making'up the democratic clubs in
the several townships, there bo an
actual enrolment Of those who
unite themselves with tho different
clubs. There had best be lists
kept by tho COMMITTEES for the
purpose, and those should contain
fully and accurately the names Of
all those who unite III the organiza-
ton. This will show at onco the
number of persons joining in the
movement, and consequently the
actual strength of the democracy
in Fairfield county. Tho more
accurately and tho moro formally
tho work is done, the more
efficient will be tho organization
The cnlistnicnt should commence
ut once, and go on to carly per
