AN APPEAL FOR FUNDS.
Mr. Norris in calling the assembly to order
last evening said that under existing circum-
stances every friend of their cause should feel
it sacred duty to come TO the rescue in this
important crisis and help to swell the fund
required to aid the national committee.
The plan of raising this fund.-" he said,
twas suggested by me as n member of the dem
ocratlc national committee to Mr.. Vim. Z.
Harrity and those at headquarters in New York
some weeks ago and was adopted by them last
week. Can there be any better time or place
to begin this work in earnest than now and
here? Let every gentleman present say what
he will do, by pledge or check, or card or
money. to be paid down or delivered to Mr. J.
Fred Kelly at the rooms of the advisory COM
mittee, on second floor of No 1918 street
northwest, at least by Saturday of this week
II htIi, VIII !lbt WITH u generous
sum, and having ourselves set the example,
let us go to work with will in canvass
Of the entire District according to the
plan here proposed. There is no time to be
lost as the preachers tell their congregations,
What we do we must do quickly. that no time
may be lost 1t seems to me that no man OF
us can afford to neglect this duty who desires
the triumph of our party in this contest or who
hopes for recognition in time to come. The
man who fails US here may find himself with
out sympathy, support or friends in the ever
changing vicissitudes Of the future. As one
of the fathers Of the revolution said in
support of the Declaration of Independence,
we must all hang together. or shall be sure
to hang separately, if we do not succeed Let
me plead with each democrat then to come for
ward with the most generous contribution he
can make, and let it be done at once. There is
no time TO delay and consider; what il done at
once will prove double aid and may be the
very help to secure a triumph and success"
