A Young and Large Club.

Tho Democratic League since they have
moved into their new headquarters in the
Wclls building, corner OF Fourth and
King streets, have without doubt the
finest club rooms in tho city. The League
from small beginning In the Bryan
campaign in 1897, has grown to u mem-
ber,hip Of over $50 members. They have
made The most rapid progress of any politi.
cal Organization In our city, springing
from a nero handful, of men who believed
in the teachings of William Jennings
Bryan and Congressman Handy, and have
sprung up like u mushroom until their
old headquarters, at the corner of Fourth
and Shipley streets, was entirely too
small to accommodate the increasing
membership.
These rooms arc costly fitted up and
havo an inviting appearance. The club
Is very Democratic in its hospitality and
the latch string Is always hanging out to
those who wish to visit the rooms. 1t bids
fair to usurp the lead of all of the other
Democratic clubs in our city. Its mem.
bers are hu ,tlers and the workers who roll
up the Democratic majorities on election
day. In fact it Is the overall clement OF
the Democratic party who do the work but
hold few of the offices. The house warm
ing as 1t Is called, last evening was char.
acteristic of tho club and over fifteen hun
drcd sandwiches were devoured and other
refreshments were dispensed with u hosplt-
able hand. There is no use bell tling the
strength and influence Of the Democratic
League as 1t stand ahead of tho other old
er clubs in our city to-day

unbounded generosity for having taken

his wonderfully proficient pupils. from
