The Young Lions of the Democracy will Stir
Things Up.
The organization of a great chain OF
Democratic clubs throughout the country
to work in unison for the advancement OF
Democratic principles and the success OF
the party's candidates at the polls is one OF
the most notable political events of the
day. The suspicious beginning IN this dl-
rection, which was made by the congress
of club representatives from various States
held here Saturday, is general SUBJECT OF
comment among both Republicans and
Democrats
Leading Democrats everywhere are Jubl-
liant over the outlook and declare that the
club league will prove powerful factor n
tide approaching campaign.
The selection of Baltimore as the place
for holding the first club convention also
meets with general approval within the
party lines. The Monumental City, they
all say, is the best place that could have
been selected in view of the fact that the
national nominating convention goes West
TO St. Louis
Capt. j. Rockwell Fay is an enthusiastic
| believer in the great good to be accom-
plished by the national formation. eve
can 90 into the campaign with more clubs
| than our antagonists, he remarked yester-
| day, "apd I think we can give them points
| on hard work and no interference with the
| workings of the party machinery. Demo-
Gratis fight harder than Republicans any
how, and we 60 into this campaign more
earnestly and sincerely than ever before. l
anticipate that the Baltimore convention
will be great occasion for the Democratic
party"
Harry Willis Rusk, of Baltimore, felt
| good to think that they had obtained the
| convention. eve will make it great
affair" he remarked, "and the delegates
who attend will discover what Maryland
hospitality is"
This movement is pretty good-sized
SNOWFALL now" said Frederick R. Couldn't,
"but it will be an avalanche before the
summer ends I consider that we have
inaugurated something that will be of last
ing benefit to the Democratic party and the
people of this country. All is harmonious
and the expressions of the delegates present
argue that the Democracy is ready for q
noble and unselfsh fight for principle.
John G.. jenkins, of the Juneau club OF
Milwaukee, one of the pioneers, is deeply
gratided with the preliminaries. THE
national organization will be of incalcu
| liable benefit, especially in the Northwest
In Wisconsin we are prepared to make {
vigorous fight, and there is some question
whether the Republicans can hold the
State"
Josiah Quincy of Boston said: ga ma
tional league of the young men of the
country will put new courage and strength
into the party. We are willing and able
to redeem Massachusetts,, and. if we don
carry it, we will make some inroads in thu
Republican majority"
II am delighted with the idea of ths
league, said E. Ellery Anderson. "There
is no reason wky we should not honeycomt
this country with clubs bent on the success
of revenue reform and other honest Demo
cratic principles" ."
Police Justice Solon B. Smith [Republi
can) was around the Hoffman House while
while the conference was in session. "Yol
Democrats intend to make il lively for us
and no mistake" he remarked, ''but W.
will try to be ready for you when the tim
| tor actlOn comes
| Colonel Tom Ochiltree, another Republi
can, said: 81 believe the Democrats meal
business"
Congressman Mckinney of New Hamp
shire is an ardent believer in revenue re
form and an enthusiast on the subject o
the League. Fifty vigorous clubs in tn
Granite State" be said, will give u
courage, and even though we are pittet
against Senator Chandler and all the Re
publican resources, these clubs will max
the State doubtful, with the chances in ou
favor"
Judge William L. Muller said: 81 am
believer in the regular methods Of part,
machinery, but to every Democratic clul
formed I am staunch friend. We can
have too many Of them, and the Nationa
League will be of great assistance. "
J. W Browning, representing the Ara
pahoe Club of Denver, said: Il beiie7
club influence will have good effect il
Colorado. 1t will make enthusiastic work
ers of men who otherwise might not fee
any greater Interest than to vote. Th
Democrats of Colorado will support th
presidential nominee of the party and vii
work in unison when the campaign is unde
way"
Mr.. James F. Tracey. chairman of tn
delegation from the Albany club. said
The proceedings were mole harmoniou
than those of any similar meeting within
my knowledge. There was general agree
ment, Of course. about the denomination
of Cleveland and the leading points of tn
platform; but there was no disposition t.
forestall the National Convention or pres
any hobbies on its consideration. Th
conferees we're all Democrats anxious K
find the best way of helping the party K
victory by intelligent o-operation-espec
tally in bringing young voters to the sup
port of the Democratic ticket. The meet
| ing will offset the effect of the Republican
Club League, and will doubtless cause tn
formation of large number of young
Democratic clubs, extending all over th'
country. I believe the Baltimore Conven
ton will surprise every one by the numbeI
of clubs represented. New York Star
