Gibbs Of tie City:
Byrosolution adopted BY the City Demo-
cratic Committee on Thursday night last
am requested to address you q circular let
ter requesting you TO organize your clubs
that thew may exert their influence in the
approaching election. OF course it goes
without saying that IL there is any danger
IL arises from the fact that no ono seems to
appreciate that there is any, and as
q consequence nobody is concerning
himself ut all about the election,
the fact that there is only one candidate
among the several offices to be filed OPP
posing us really makes 10 easier for us TO
lose that one Office than if we had a full
opposition all along the lire. Let US, then.
address ourselves to the consideration of
this one enemy aud show him that we are
not to be caught mapping.
Your clubs. which have been recently 80
active and so fully attended. listening TO adj
dresses from the various candidates. should
assemble again and show rs much interest
in the election Of oil those candidates. We
owe it to them TO see them all elected and
we shall do il. Many transfers can be at
tended to through the clubs. aided by n
city headquarters, which / hope TO have
established and open by Tuesday, within
tho next week. and then your clubs can
wieid q powerful influence in arousing the
voters and getting them to turn out on

Iuckily for the success Of the celebra-

DOWN SOUTH.
The Southern Passenger Association has
authorized cheap rates from all points IN
its territory south of the Potomac and
Ohio rivers, and east of the Mississippi, and
many of the battle-scerred veterans OF Lees

Richmond and the fields where they fought
and camped during the years lS6l-'65.
The pisydich has been making inquiries
among the railroad men as to terms offered

people with their unlmproved system OF

were afraid TO rent It in spite OF It's eran-

came at once. and TO-DAY this corner OF
