COMMUNICATED,

The communication in Fridays GAZETTE,
signed "Young Mems Democratic Club" is
unauthorized by majority of its members
no such sentiment as is expressed in that
communication was ever expressed by the
originators of the organization. Neither
was such their ultimate intention or design.
We ignore no one. We invite all to come
and join us and help push the good work of
bringing about democratic victory in the
coming presidential campaign. AS was very
eloquentIy expressed by Mrs.. G. Brent in his
address before the meeting that night: I'VE
want old men for advice and young men
for action" We want no Tammany organ.
izations in Alexandria we invite old fogies
and young fogies to join the club; they are
all entitled to their opinions and we think
none the less of them for it. | say again to
Mr.. Fogy, we, majority of the Young
Mems Democratic Club, do not ignore you,
aud that we repudiate such an expression
in minority, and think it bad taste and an
assumption on the part of one member to
publish such communication over the non
de plume which he has assumed without
any consultation with other members.

OVER FIVE thousand people attended tie
democratic ratification at Columbus, Ohio,
on Saturday evening. Es Senator Thur
man made the principal speech. He said
"the spirit of our institutions, the welfare of
our country, and the rights OF the citizens
of the Commonwealth all demand that the
republican party shall go;" that if any two
men were elected i'll this country Tilden
and Hendricks were, and that "they were
defrauded out of it by one of the most
atrocious and blacklist deeds which blacken
our free form of government" He referred
to Grover Cleveland as democrat dyed in
wool, who would be elected President, and
he spoke Of Mr.. Hendricks as "a man of
distinguished ability, one whose public SER
vices and public acts are as pure as those Of
any other man in this country" His speech
created great enthusiasm.

Warsaw have seized 100000 roubles and
numerous proclamations printed in the
Russian and Polish languages which it was

The CHOLERA broke out at Toulon June
4-that is to say, forty.sx days since-and
at last accounts had reached Aries, an in
land town about forty miles from Marseilles.
Two deaths are reported at Paris, but they
may turn out to be not more genuine cases
the other day. 10 the first ten days in
which this disease prevailed at TouIon
there were seventeen deaths in that city.
Subsequently the disease became more Sc
we're, but both at Marseilles and at Toulon
the mortality has been very small for Ash
in such cities. Twenty or thirty deaths
day has been common report from Mar
settles, and the highest number reported for
any one day from that city was sixty.fve
With population of three hundred thous.
and in horribly filthy city in season OF
torrid heat, that is not a mortality that su.-
gests anything like an awful pestilence; In
fact, considering the comparatively light
mortality, and that the disease remains
fixed at these two centres, notwithstanding
that fugitive population might be sup
posed to have carried infection to many
neighboring places, the inference is inev-
liable that this disease is either not Asiatic
cholera, or that it is Asatic cholera of an
uncommonly mild type. Doctors disagree,
as usual, and experts declare with equal
emphasis on one hand that it is Asiatic
cholera, on the other hand that it is not.
Learned opinion is, therefore, of no assist
ance in forming judgment on this point
but it may be taken as certain that it is not
necessary to suppose the disease to be Asiatic
cholera to account for the mortality at these
cities while it is remarkable that if true
cholera has gained Judgement in a field so
favorable to its operation it has exhibited so
little of that fearful and startling rapidity
which is perhaps its most dreadful charac-
teristic. But disease, whatever it may be,
that advances only forty miles 10 forty-six
days is unlikely to go far in one summer

END OF A REMARKABLE CAsE.-"BoW-
ser" Witt, a colored boy Of Greenvlle, died
on the Sth inst, aged sixteen years. Ten
months after birth his flesh began wasting
away, and though he increased in statue it
was in the bones only. He grew to FIVE
feet in height, with we'll developed head
and neck, but the rest of his body was
strictly skin and bone. When held in front
of strong light the process of digestion
could be observed in his body. He had
never walked or talked. This case OF at
rophy elected much interest among medl-
cal men.

TIE INDEPENDENT movement, which was

THE INDEPENDENT movement, when was
a mere speck in the political horizon, has
yrown To be a portentous cloud as black as
highland when it bursts upon the staggering
factions of the republican party, the fury OF
its force and the magnitude of its strength
will be for ever remembered. 1t Is not con-
fined to the State of New York, where the
onposition to Blaine is widespread and In
creasipg but in New Jersey, Massachusetts
illinois and Iowa the sentiment Is growing
daily that this contest is not so much strug-
ole for place or power or tariff, but that 1t 10
a fight of right against wrong and OF purity
against corruption; conflict between Two
men. one endowed with all the habits and
characteristics of a reformer and dispenser
of public Justice and pure government, and
the other obber in public benefits, man
who is only known by his political lnlqui-
ties, and whose sole reliance for success is
upon an appeal to the worst sentiments OF
the country. There are so many reasons
WHY Governor Cleveland should be elected
to the Presidency that it seems strange that
any consideration should prevent fair
minded man from giving him his support
TO mention some of the forces that form his
character and that attract to him the right
thinking men of all parties, it can be said
that he is an honest man. He is man of
splendid mental balance. He is man of
superior judgment. He is a conservative
man. He always has been and is now the
friend of the poor in their contests with the
rich, and is especially the friend OF the
working man, as his many official acts
clearly demonstrate. He is brave but not
rash. sagacious but not smart" steady Of
purpose and inhexible of will. He will be
the same quiet, modest gentleman in the
White House that he has been in private
life and in the gubernatorial mansion of New
York. He will give the country more
lofty tone and purer administration than
it has had for many years. lie will in short,
reform the political system, rebuke the cor
rupt practices of the age, and remodel ma.
tional affairs by the high standard that
though once 80 simple, gave such conceded
grandeur and power to the government of
the United States.

MAHoNE's LATEST MovE-The legal represen.
tative of Malone it is said will ask the Court OF
Appeals for an injunction to prevent the delivery
of the poll books to the county officials for the
purpose of carrying out the redistricting scheme
passed over the Governors veto by the Legisla
ture at its last session. The ground of the sppi-
required two-thirds majority Of the Legislature
that it was passed by two-thirds of what remained
after some Of the Malone men had been purged
out. The point will therefore be made that the
bill is not law. Of course Mahone's object is
to have the Congressional election held in the old
districts, wherein he thinks he can maintain his
present position.

In VIEW of possible spread of the chol-
era to this country the President has issued
a proclamation enjoining upon State and
local authorities a diligent and strict en-
forcement of quarantine and of sound sani-
tary regulations, and also instructing U. s.
consuls in foreign countries to report what
ever is of value respecting the progress of
the disease and its treatment. Some proper
precautions are also ordered by the Treasury
authorities against the possible importation
of articles contaminated with cholera germs.
Vessels must have clean bill 4 of health, and
the importation of rags from infected ports
is prohibited for ninety days.

eleven scalawag democrats, and one carpet
bag republican who is disqualified by holding
a federal office, and who has been rainly try
ing for years past to get an appointment
that would take him out Of the State, 1t ID
hard to understand how any white Virginia
republican can be at all enthusiastic IN his
support of Blaine, especially when, in view
of all that has happened in the past four
wears, it can be by no means certain how
the Malone electors would cast their vote
in the improbable event of their success, in
case the result OF the Presidential election
depend upon the vote of Virginia.

THE REPUBLICANS are so alarmed at the
unprecedented detection in their ranks at
the North that they have determined to
make desperate attempts to offset their
losses in that section by gains in the South,

that will conduce to its success. There is
not much danger of their succeeding, but

No great deal of sympathy is expressed
here for General Longstreet, as he has only
met the fate that has overtaken all Southern
men who deserted their party and their
section for Office. Being born Southerner
it was naturally impossible for him to 60 as
far against his own race as the republican
politicians wanted him to 60, and therefore
all be has done for them counts for nothing,
and he will be removed to give place to q
