IMMEDIATELY after the Young Mems
Democratic Club was organized, the Ca
pital with amusing concelt stated solemn
ly that the club was the result of the
editorial brain work of the paper-the
crysta ljZation, concentration, accumula-
ton and realization Of its 'thought.'
Of course no one took any olTcnse at the
gall of the concern, for it was harmless
and quite funny to the members who Or
ganized the club to learn that their la
bors were credited to such theoretical
origin as an editorial contingent. The
club was diligently t1attcred however
and informed that the Capital thought,
with due reverence to itself as q crystal
iZer, that the organization would in time
be able to set even rivers on fire. Later
on however, the paper cooled down and
at the approach of the republican cen
vcntlons evidently was preparing to lend
its influence to some of the opposition
candidates who would come to the center
with black republican dollars. 1t was so
greedy IN thlS respect lhat even alCer a
straight democratic ticket had been nom
mated the paper refused to print it, and
endorse it until the attention of all good
democrats Was called to the neglect by
The Alert, which had, until that time

principles that were claimed to stron 5]y

however tie medicine has been taken,
the ticket printed and the able editorial
quill again dipped in fresh quart of INK
to proclaim democratic principles TO the
su; scribers and exchanges throughout
the land. The Alert trusts the little
party dicjpline it administered will not
be readily forgotten by the Capital and
that 1t will not be necessary to call the
ocrats' attention to any turth er party
unfalthfulness on the part Of that Or

e. V. SMALIEY in the October North
west makes a very indigcstibIe remark
for LaMoure boomers to swallow when
in speaking of the rival towns VI LaMoure
and Grand Rapids he says:
Grand Rapids, eight miles from La
Moure, IS SHOWING new life since the rail-
road came last sorlng. and Is erecting a
number of BRICK buildings near the depot
and long way from the old town. This
will make two jealous villages separated
by a bare stretch of prairie, but in the
end the new place will kill the old one.
The Messrs. Potter should take some
pains to set the Northwest right en- this
point.

ed that while acting as attorney for Jos.

retary of the Cook county democracy, he
became possessed Of the secrets of the
democrats, and it was thought best to kill
Storrs and allow Mackln to remain in jail
rather than have the secrets of the party
divul 5ed. The alleged revelation sounds
like a tale Of the French revolution, or q
deed of the Doges of Venice, when a
clandestinc accusation, dropped in a stone
hons mouth, sealed the fate OF some un-
suspecting victim with sudden death.

The mooted question of who IS the
chairman, now, OF the county republican
cen trail committee, is answered by Il. +.
Wallace who claims to hold that position,
now as we'll as heretofore. Mr.. Wallace
does not consider himself deposed by any
manner of means, as the meeting at
which it is claimed he was re!egated to
the rear, is said to have been attended
only by one member of the committee,
Mr. j. A. Fry. Mr.. Wallace states that
Dr. Cloes the secretary was not present,
nor Col. Gilman, nor J. }. Flint, and that
if any new Chairman was ele :ted it was
done by the sole member present who
naturally, under such circumstances,
could Go as fancy dictated. The fact
seems TO be that Bob Wallace If he de-
s!rcs to so claim still holds the sceptcr of
authority as chairman of the republican
county central committee.
