Young Mems Democratic Clubs.

The North Carolina Democrats have set an
example which 1t would be well for their
brethren IN this State 10 follow. They
started the campaign early, and the rndica>
lions are that they will fight 1t TO finish
With vigor and enthusiasm that has seldom
been excelled. Hardly had the st. Louis
Convention adjourned before they began
the organization OF Young Mems Demo
cratic Clubs. and the movement has spread
through the old North State like Wild
Gre. II Is probable that before the end
OF this month there win be Young
Mems Democratic Club fully equipped for
work in every town and village in that State.
Why not a Young Mems Democratic Club in
every town and village In Virginiaf The
struggle Is going 20 be warm one. Itis
going TO be desperate one on the part oil
the Republicans. We might as well realize
that fact at the outset. Any Virginia Demo
crat who counts on the differences in the
Republican ranks in this state makes sad
mistake. These differences are already ID
process - healing No longer ago than
SATURDAY. nator RIDDLEBRRGER told New
York Herald correspondent that at the ear
nest solicitation OF "some OF the most pro-
mlnent OF the Republican national leaders"
lie had made overtures TO MALONE; that
MALONE came to his reom in Washington;
that he and MALONE had lone and earnest
talk, and that the two bad met twice since.
"Tbe result OF these conferences, continued
Senator RIDDLEBRRoER, "is that we can now
work together for the good of the Republi-
can party. We both recognized that that
great interest was paramount, and thst our
personal differences were insignificant beside
II. The same flag OF truce will be ex-
tended in other directions until the
Republican party Of Virginia 10 sgsin
q harmonious whole" Senator RIDDLE
DERGER also seated that be spoke with per-
feet confidence when he said that MALONE
has been willing and is willing to 80 as far
towards reconciliation as any one has right
10 expect. This Is out the beginning Of the
end. or course, some few OF the kickers msy
refuse TO sign the truce, and IL Is understood
that others who would probably like to sign
#, are 70 be punished. But the Republican
party must make supreme effort this time.
Nirginia's electoral vote Is valuable plum,
MALONE swings the negro column, and the
Republican national leaders may be depended
upon 10 do everything in their power to set
tie the family quarrel on terms that will give
the little General no excuse for lukewarm-
ness. The q. o. =. cannot afford to antago-
nlze either faction. II the Republicans lose in
Che presidential fight this year they lose all. A
few DAYS ago one Of the most prominent Re-
publican papers in the North-s paper that
LOYALTY supports the Chicago nominees, but
which is noted for It's Cand0r. declared that
should CLEVELAND be rejected and "should
he give the country another such admlnistrs-
ton as the present one" his second admins
traitor would mark the end OF the Republic
can party. The Republican national leaders
recognize the truth OF this. And consider
ing 1t 10 true. we nsk, Have not the Demo-
Gratis glorious contamination 70 fight for ?
Think OF 1.-THE end OF the Republican
party-the end OF the party OF sectionalism
and strife. CLEvELAND's election means the
overthrow OF the mslgnants-the sHER-
MANS. the BoUTELLEs, the FoRLKERS, the
REDS, the HLLsTEADS, and all who train
with them. 1t means the undoing OF the
party that for over quarter of century
has fed on hatred, rioted in prejudice, and
wsrred on southern civilization. Could
there be a more patriotic duty than that OF
organizing in order to this? We cannot
begin to organize too early, aud there could
not be more potent auxilisries TO the work
OF State committees than cluts composed OF
active, earnest young men, who will see to ii
that enthusiasm is not allowed TO cool, and
that every Democratic voter is kept up TO
consciousness OF the full measure OF the
duty that rests upon him.
