A YOUNG MEMS DEMOCRA.
TIC CLUB.

A few days back the formation of
young mems Democratic Club il
Alexandria, and throughout the diff
ferent wards in the Parish, was freel,
spoken of. A meeting was to have
been called, but owing to some mis-
understanding or unity of action the
"new movers" did not come together
The idea of this new organization, il
was said, was to he similar to the New
Orleans Y. NJ. D. A., and won such a
magnificent victory in New Orleans
at the last! general election.
Several young men of prominence
throughout the Parish were written to
on the subject, and asked to give
their views, among them Mr.. VIM.
Polk, Jr, of Lamonrie. His reply is
we'll worth reproducing, and we give
it to our readers in full:
LAMoUR1E, La, J
Nov. 2, '9l !
Dear Sir:-
Yours of lst at hand and answer
same more fully by letter. l am,
aware of the vital Importance of the
cooperation of the young men of our
State in order to gain recognition in
the political conventions of our party.
They have labored faithfully for the
Democracy, and yet are looked upon
as simply voting contingency; with
ont the capacity for administering or
executing laws.
l would gladly assist in the organi-
zation of young mems association,
but am at present under the impres.
sion that it would not meet with pop
ular approval, especially on the verge
OF this campaign. The general run
OF men seem to be dubious of their
own Judgment and sense as to the po-
sition they should take, and view with
bitter suspicion any move as to or
gan'zati"n. | find you can address
no one conservatively, unless the self
constituted analizers of true Democra-
cy do not assail your political charac-
ter and willingly brand you as trai
tor to measures and men. So | shall
suggest that it would he wise through
the columns of your paper to call the
attention of the young ncn of our
Parish the vital Importance of unity
of action among them at all times,
and l am sure much good reform and
progress in Parish aud State matters
will he the result. The factional
lines aro so tightly drawn at present
that think 1t imp"litic to attempt so
important a move in so critical a time.
With the assurance that | shall al
ways he ready in assisting any of my
young friends of merit to get his p.o-
per desert and seeking recognition
from the Ring Rulers.
am, most truly,
W. Polk, JR.

IT IS ONLY ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL exem-

aphorism-"he who laughs last laughs
best" For some weeks the editor of
the Mauch Chunk Democrat has been
filling the columns of that paper, for
the satisfaction of "few," with numer-
GUS garrulous articles rejecting on
editorial matter in the CARBON ADyo-
CATE. Knowing the character of the
editor of that paper and his capacity
for picturesque and beautiful prevari-
cation, we paid no attention to what he
had to say, feeling that soon his sins
would find him out,and he would stand
revealed in his own dirt and filth. 1t
is even so, and now this insipid ass, that
for many years has stood at the head of
all that is low, mean and contemplate
