daily by the members, and after the above
DuSlneSS lllu DCtl NldHNl't'h iNE''"Nh'

Il speech. Mr.. Lucas is u very entertaining
talker and his remarks, although of brief
character, were very interesting and re-
ceived great deal Of applause. His culogv
on Mr.. Tilden was very neat. Judge llous-
ton followed in Iplcasant address in which
he referred leclingly to the death OF the
grand old leader, and he was followed by
Col. White and Mr.. NJ. T. Frame, in short
speeches, all OF which had the true DEM

highly appreciated.
Upon motion the club then adjourned,
after which one of its celebrated social SEES
sions was held, during which singing, con-
verSation, and general good time was In

The Young Mems Democratic club Is
rapidly becoming vast power in the Dem
ocratic party OF this county, and rs several
of the speakers said last evening, it has the
ability to do more good, solid work toward
securing votes than all the speeches ever
made could do. Twelve now members
were taken in last evening, and more are
expected every meeting night. Let the
GOOD work continue.
