YOUNG REPUBLICANS,
A Fine Organization Formed Last Night ~ vel
Fiambeau Annex.

Fine Organization Formed Last Night as vel
as L Fiambeau Annex.
The young Republicans are becoming
alive to the situation aud are organizing
TO take a hand in it. They have seen the
political faith of their fathers threatened
by the heresies of benighted fellow citizens
and they propose to protect it from the in
sidious influences directed against its per-
petuity. They are throwing themselves
in the breach, so TO speak, in defense OF
not only their own liberties but of the
liberties Of those who are so blindiy op-
posing them. This is patriotism and of u
kind and character that certainly is worthy
of encouragement. The young men are
the hope Of the nation and it is gratifying
beyond measure to those who are old aud
ready to lay down in their last resting
place to know that the rising generation
are sufficiently interested in their coun-
try's welfare to perpetuate and keep alive
the political teachings bequeathed to them
by their sires.
liz accordance with this idea about 100
young Republicans met last night at Re-
publican headquarters on North Main
street for the purpose of forming a young
Republican club. 1t was interesting to
see their happy faces and to note the en-
thusiasm born of their youth and vigor.
And who were theyf They were not the
idlers around town who spend their time
in idle pastimes or INDUCING in visionary
and absurd theories. On the contrary
they were, every one Of them, representa-
tives OF all the respectable avocatiops
whose hands and brains are busy in the
business affairs OF life; in other words they
are producers in the exact sense
of the term, Young doctors
lawyers, merchants, mechanics and
day laborers who have an interest in
keeping up the standard of wages, morals,
education and refinement. and to transmit
them to their children yet unborn as u
heritage TO be kept alive and in turn
transmitted to their children's children In
the years to come.
l.. G. Yocum called the meeting to
order, with Ralph Niederlsnder as Geo
rotary. When the meeting was called
regularly to order, the first business nee
essary was the election OF officers. Mr..
Yocum was placed in nomination and
elected without dissenting voice. He
thanked the meeting for the honor con-
ferred upon him, and made a short speech,
in which he pointed out the necessity for
the organization of a young Republican
club to help the trembling hands OF their
aged and venerable sres TO keep the old
Republican flag floating from the mast
head OF the nation.
On motion Ralph Niederlander was
a. 10
the custom from time imnemorial
for a newly elected secretary not to
make speech, and Ralph followed
the custom most scrupnlously, but every
body could see on his usually thoughtful
ace Il flush which spoke MS gratitude for
the honor conferred on him louder than
words could express it. w. Il. Throck-
morton and DR.. Hoagland were unani-
mously elected vice presidents, Gerald
Nolk, treasurer on account of his financial
ability, particularly that financial streak
in his nature that enables him to pauperize
half the Democrats in town annually i'll

tlemen were suggested for to fill the execu-
tive committee in connection with officers
named, and upon vote being taken d. W.
Gathers aud T.. j. Cooper were elected

prime mover in the organization OF these

ton OF its officers. The mem bersbip of
