some mistake it was announced that the
! gaiherng would take place IN the Circuit
! Court room, and so the crowd which as-

who. in explaining its object, stated that
| il had originally been the purpose TO en-
lar.c the membership of the club, so that
! il would also include other Democrats
than those who originally constituted the

| large Colonel Cary expressed his dou BITS
| whether the reorganization could he ac-
cOmphshed last night. but he explained
| the object of the gathering.
