CLUB FOR BEVERLEY MANOR.
Editor Vindicator:-Will you permit a
very humble member of the Democratic
party to sugg est the organization of a
Cleveland and Hendricks Club in Bever-
ley Manor District. Hitherto we have
not been organized and have had to &C
! compished what has been done by mair
strength. With a club properly organized
we can largely increase the vote of Bever
| ley Manor, interest the Indifferent, and
with such ticket as we now have, bring
| every lover of his country to the polls.
