from the Committee on Organization,
and Fl. T. D. Wilson, in the absence of

ton to some well-known Democrat in
every precinct in the city to come to-
gether as general Committee on Organ
ization at a meeting. the time and place
of which could be settled hereafter. For

the motion was carried.
On motion of Mr.. Collins it was de-
cided that this general meeting should
be held on the 10th of December, in the
morning, at 10 o'clock.
Mr.. Lankershim then made q short
speech, describing the political event
which had taken place between the
time Of the last meeting and this one
which had greatly encouraged the spirits
of the Democracy. He expressed the
opinion that the outlook was vastly
better for the party in Los Angeles, and
in California generally, than it had
been in a number of the localities where
Democratic victories were gained. He
hoped to see active and thorough organ
ization among the host of stalwart Demo
Gratis in Los Angeles county.
Short speeches were mede by the fol.
lowing gentlemen, each rising in re-
sponse to calls: Tom B. Brown, Mr.. Red
dick, @. A. White, Judge Weston, Judge
