MEETING.

In pursuance to the call published In
The BULLETIN yesterday and the day be-
fore, a large and enthusiastic crowd gath
cred at the hall over the commission stores
of Messrs. Cunningham & Smith sud VIM.
Lonergan. The hall is large one, capable Of
accommodating not less than three hundred
persons,a and though NOT elegantly furnished
has yet all the necessary contrivances for
carrying on the meetings of political
club, which needs only space seats and
light. The first of these, as aforesaid, is
ample, and the others were supplied by the
energetic Democratic worker, Walton
Wright. At the appointed hour the crowd
began to gather around the door below and
at a signal from few they made rush tor
up stairs. Old and young were there, all
ready to begin the work of the present
campaign. The hall was we'll filled with a
crowd as intelligent, as enthusiastic, and as
determined as ever gathered anywhere for
any purpose. Throughout the meet
ing the proceedings were mark
ed by unity generality and
depth of feeling. Everybody present
seemed to be anxious to do his share to-
ward affecting a thorough Organization,
which would most effectually bring out the
full strength of the party in the city and
county. After the organization of the gen
eral, or supreme club, in which every voter
in the county, without regard to color, was
inclcued. had been effected the young men
present formed separate organization of
their own, and it is fact, that hardly ever
were that portion Of our citizens so thor
oughly aroused to action, as were these.
Taking into consideration the short notice
given, the fact that SO many of our men,
both young and old, are employed even
ings, the early stage of the campaign, and
the general feeling Of certain Democratic
victory that prevails here, as elsewhere, it
was surprise to all present that so large
crowd gathered there to begin the work OF
an exciting campaign. 1t must be admit
ted by all, both Republicans and others,
who know anything about last nights
work, that the political ball received a kick
in this end of the state, which will start i,
upon its route over the country, receiving
additional kicks at every precinct, until il
rolls booming and laundering over the en-
tire state, and its roar is heard at Spring
field in conjunction with hun
dreds of others from every
county in Illinois, all sound
ing the triumph of Democratic principles
and the downfall Of unprncipled Radical
ism.
The organization was begun by elect
ING J.. S. Rearden temporary chairman
and B. +. Blake temporary secretary. MIR.
