INCIDENTS IN HARLEM.
A RAGE OF REPUBLICANISM IN THE NORTH
ERN PART OF THE CITY.

| ERN PARI OF HE CII1.
AS shown in this oolumr6 of last Sundays Tribune
the Republicans Of Harlem and large number
| NJ the independent vote were enthusiastic the
nomination of j. Sloat Fassett for Governor of New
| York state The meetings of the many Republican
organizations in this part of the city during the week
have fully shown that the enthusiasm inspired
| by ne "yOung man. has increased vastly
from the first burst Of confidence which came with his
nomination. Since then the Democrats have nominated
| Roswell p. Flower. If the nomination OF j. Sloat
Fassett aroused their enthusiasm to an extraordinary
| pitch the nomination Of Roswell p. Flower as the
Democratic candidate has increased possible, the con-
fdence of the Harlem Republicans in the success OF
their candidate When Fassctt nominated the
| only defect tho Democrats could find was that ne
was such "young man, and they raised this cry TO
the best of their ability When the Democratic state
Convention at Saratoga nominated Roswell T. Flower
It was thought that the cry Of "young man. would
be effective as ii certainly Ineffective before
Flower was nominated. But somehow or other the
cry Of "young man" has fallen as "hat as pan
cake" as an old Republican expressed 1t to Tribune
reporter But il is more than this The charge that
Fassett is "young man" has ACTED like boomerang
on the Harlem Democrats Strange to say, the
Young men of Harlem take Hiking to the "young
man. candidate, and they beginning to wonder II
the young men of the Democratic party are forever
TO be sacrificed for old men and "money bags"
They look with envious feeling at the brilliant array
of
enthusiasm around the standard of the "yOung man."
and arc thinking that the Democratic party is not the
place for Young men,
A well-knovn resident Of Harlem who has the
reputation of being strictly independent voter said
to Tribune reporter, 81 fear the Democrats have
misiudged the feeling in the State when they failed
to nominate a yOung man to offset the wonderful
enthusiasm inspired in the young blood in this city
by the nomination of J. sloat Fassett. The young
men in Harlem are 'touchy' the question Of
money. They have that feeling which is one Of the
glores of American Institutions that they Just as
good snybody else, matter how rich that ANY
body else may be. When they see the Democrats
| nominating an old man who has claim whatever
the country who has In no way shown any
political ability. they naturally think thatthe Democratic
party is the place for old who have the millions
wherewtth to purchase such Injuries GOvernorshlp
or seat in Congress, and that young need not
apply In striking contrast with this Democratic
and un-Amercan policy they "young Fassett'
nominated solely the record he has made for him
self and solely because he has shown himself to be
young of brains and has advanced himself and
improved the condition Of his fellow-cizens by his
own brainy efforts No wonder the young men in
the Democratic party disCustcd when they see
odd Money Bags nominated over the heads OF more
deserving men, when there there are scores of young
men I'm the Democratic ranks who have shown their
ability both in business and craftsmanship" And tho
speaker turned away in disgust fearful that ne might
say something that he did not caro- 70 make public
for he was a member of a Democratic organization.
There is no eXaggeration in the statement that the
nomination Of Flower opposed to that of Fassett has
doubly increased Republican confidence in Harlem in
the success of their ticket. All the Republican
organizations in this part OF the city have ndOrsed the
Republican ticket from top to bottom and have pledged
their heartiest support to insure their election by
safe majOrities.
The spirit of the Republican clubs In Harlem may
be in the following resolutions Of the Hamilton
Club A special meeting of this club held Mon
day at which Frederick Aldhous presided W. E. Ben
amln introduced the following:
" Resolved That the Hamilton Republican Club
congratulate the Republican party and the people of
this state upon the nomination Of q ticket by the
vendOn at Rochester which commands the united and
enthusiastic support Of the party and affords assurances
of at tho polls and that this club pledges its
hearty support Of the ticket from top to bottom"
Under ordinary circumstances this resolution would
have been seconded by only enc member, but this
occasion number of the leading members of the club
jumped up and seconded 1t. The CHAIR however
recognized only Captain Reddy Mr.. Neyson and Colonel
Henry Altman.
The cOlorad Republicans of Harlem also are en-
husiastic the nomination of J. Sloat Fasset A
meeting of the J. W. Terry COlored Republican Club
was held on Wednesday night at which the Republican
nominations were indorsod from beginning to end

TO hold mass-meong and rally under the auspices
OF the cOlored voters in the XXIld Assembly District
1t is expected that the plans win be perfected this week
and that hall centrally situated will be hired for
the purpose
An extract from the resolutions adopted by this club
shows the spirit Of the cooIed voters in respect 20 the
nomination of Roswell p. Flower: The Democratic
party through Vaccinations that political
eesspool OF chlcanery, fraud and COMPLIMENTARY
Democracy-pre to the electors Of this Stale
platform of principle eQuvocal and iliusivc IN

tion apd men who accept nomination for Office under
