Room 204 WALLACE BLOCK.
TACOMA, Dec. 25, 1893.
In accordance with the recommen.
detion of the Executive Committee of
the National Association OF Democratic
Clubs, expressed in a circular letter
from Washington, d. c., from the
Chairman of said Executive Com
mittee, the Hon. William L. Wilson,
the distinguished Congressman from
West Virginia, the Executive Com
mittee OF the Democratic Society of
Washington, which is a union of all
the county, city and precinct clubs in
this State, calls attention to the i'm.
portance of reviving and putting in
active operation, the Democratic
clubs in this State, all preliminary to
the forthcoming city, county and
State elections during the year 1894.
In all localities where Democratic
clubs or societies do not exist, the
formation of such is earnestly recon-
mended to the Democrats there resi-
dent.
The recurring 9Th day of January is
day dear to every true patriots
heart, because on that day in the year
1915, General Andrew Jackson (Old
Hickory afterwards the 7th President
OF the United States put to fight at
New Orleans with but 5000 men, a
British force under Gen. Packenham
$4,000 strong.
Therefore in accordance with the
recommendations above set forth, the
Executive Committee recommends
that all Democrats in their respective
localities unite in suitably celebrating
this memorable day, calling public
meetings to be addressed by local ora
tors, thus assisting to- perpetuate the
doctrine OF true Democracy, encourage
purity in administration and fidelity
to the will of the people, and at the
same time TO perfect and make perma.
nent their local organizations as
recommended by the Executive Com
mittee Of the National Association of
Democratic Clubs.
