THE call for meeting Of young men
who have never voted in a presidential
election by the following young citizens.
c. T. Il. Bates. T. f. Bayard, Jr. j.
Harry Callahan William Butt, John
Drier. James +. Feeney, Andrew c. Gray.
H. NJ Hayes. j. W. Ponder, J. Nee.
Primrose. f. B. T. Springer and Joseph
Taggart, is very commendable. They pro.
pose to meet at the rooms of the Young
Mems Democratic club tonight and take
measures TO enlarge the association of
first voters who intend TO support the
national Democratic candidates AS a
candidate for young men, particu-
larly for those who have had the
advantages of n liberal education,
Cleveland has an attractiveness which no
candidate has offered since Jackson
stirred the blood, captured the fancy and
gained the enthusiastic approval Of the
youth of the country All young men
love courage and independence of the
quality that Cleveland displays All
young men of good morals and patriotism
approve of the stand he has taken TO
recall the people to the old fashioned
honesty Of regarding a public Office as
public trust All young men, especially
those whose ideas have not been cor
rupted by the vulgar selfish
ness of the plea of men
who have goods to sell for protection
from the consumers who wish to buy
those goods at normal prices, approve of
the demand that taxes shall not be laid
for other than public purposes The
justice Of gradual approach to the
lowest tariff on the fewest articles posi-
BILE, is very attractive to young men.
The necessity of state autonomy is
equally attractive to young man who
has studied the theory of our demo-
cratic form of government. Those ideas
which have not been debased by the plea
of the tariff robber or warped by the Force
bill method of saving the Republican
party correspond with the teachings and
the policy of the Democratic party. 1t
is easy to make converts for candidate
of courage and conscience; it is elevating
to advocate policy Of unselish political
economy intended for and accruing to
the benefit Of all, not for the enrichment
Of few.

a calamity Referring to the reports Of
those who were not there. he says
'Ihe fire burned portion Of the town
the reporters did the rest They did not
leave a house on the Delaware side Of the
line. The fire was more liberal-it left
fifteen or twenty very fine buildings
standing They had eight persons
missing; one killed by falling walls: two
burned TO death and several badly
injured. This Is all a fake. Dr. Wright
was asked IL he heard Of any such cases.
/ He said No, the fire was not attended
by any fatal or personally serious circum
stances

our local papers came out strong in this
