Full Text

The meeting of the Fourth Ward Greeley and Brown club, held at the Court-House last Monday evening, was well attended, the stirring music discoursed by the Ascension Brass Band contributing in no small degree to swell the attendance and arouse the enthusiasm of the people present. In the absence of the president of the club, vice-president R. P. Landry occupied the chair. Upon motions, the following committees were appointed on registration-C. Kline, F. Braud, A. Rodrigue; on mass-meeting-C. F. Smith, C.A. Younger, Dr. McGalliard; on head-quarters-L. E. Bentley, L. D. LeBlanc, W. G. Wilkinson; on naturalization R. N. Sims, Henry L. Duffel, E. N. Pugh.

Mr C. A. Younger being called upon for a speech responded in an able address, forcibly depicting the issues of the campaign and urging zeal and energy for the triumph of Greeley and Brown and the State and parish tickets representing the Liberal cause. After the conclusion of the address, the club adjourned to Friday evening, when all necessary arrangements will be completed for the holding of a ratification mass-meeting at the Court-House this (Saturday) evening. Both the Ascension Brass and the Donaldsonville Silver Cornet Bands have been invited to attend this meeting, and it is to be hoped there is patriotism enough among the members of those organizations to induce them to accept the invitation. Their attendance will be a great help to the cause and will reflect credit upon themselves.
