THEY DIDN'T HARMONIZE. Members of the Two Factions of Young Democracy That Was MEET FOR RECONCILIATION, But Fail to Carry Out the Plan
 Adopted by the
 Caucus.
MEET FOR RECONCILIATION,

The efforts to harmonize Young Democ- racy fell through, and today the organiza- ton is the same as yesterday-that is, the element that supported the democratic nominees iu the recent municipal election have an organization with officers and com mittees, transacting business under the banner of Young Democracy. The element of the club that supported the "reform" ticket in the municipal election have an- other organization, styled Young Democ- racy, with officers and committees.
 Pursuant to a call signed by Messrs. Lee Bradley and R. F. Johnston for a joint meeting of the two factions for the pur- pose of harmonizing the two elements, about twenty members assembled in the office of Green 6 Montgomery, in the Lane & Terry building, last night.
 BUT THEY DIDN'T HARMoNIZE.
 The two factions are probably wider apart today than ever before and with no prospect of reuniting the same.
 As has previously been stated in the AGE. HERALD, representatives of the two ele- ments had agreed in conference to certain plans of reorganization or reconciliation. The parties entering into this agreement did all in their power to bring about the coalition of the two factions, but they were unable to effect the desired result.
 The meeting was called to order at o'clock by Messrs. Lee Bradley and R. F.. Johnston, chief executives of the two fac tions, and after statement by MT. John- ston of the plan suggested in the confer ence MT. James H. Little was called to the chair and presided over the meeting.
 MT. D. A. Green moved that the name of the club be changed to the Young Men 8 n Of Taff tot ing that he believed that would prevent any embarrassment or confusion.
 Mir. Lee Bradley said he agreed with MT. Greens suggestion, but such proceedings as that must come under the constitution of the club and the motion was not regu- lar. He therefore moved to lay on the ta- ble Mir. Green's motion, and also offered as a substitute the appointment of Q com mittee of three by the chairman to revise the constitution and bylaws, with in- structions to report at the next meeting. The substitute was accepted by MT. Green and was adopted by the club.
 MT. Bradley moved the appointment Of a committee with instructions to prepare a roster of the club, none except the names of those present to be placed on it..
 MT. Huddleston opposed the motion, and Mr. Bradley amended it so as to empower the committee to prepare roster without any instructions as to whose names should be place on it. A substitute by MT. z. T. huQOlpn instructed the secretary to prepare a roster.
 MT. R. F. Johnston offered as substi- tute for the whole that only those present be considered members and only their names go on the roll.
 MT. D. A. Green moved as substitute that the secretary, aided bya committee, prepare roster of the club.
 Mr. G. H. Huddleston moved to lay the substitute on the table. The motion to table was lost, and Mir Green's substi. tute prevailed.
 On motion of MT. L. J. Haley the club went into the electiou of officers, and the names of Messrs. J. H. Little and z. T. Rudolph were placed in nomination for president. MT. Rudolph wss elected.
 Mir. Green moved a reconsideration of the motion to elect officers and that further elections be deferred until future meet ing. A motion to table was lost, after which the motion to defer prevailed.
 motion to adjourn prevailed.
 There was much dissatisfaction mani tested over the result of the meeting, and several of those present declared they would not act with the club any further. They claim that the agreement had been entered into in good faith and that it should have been lived up to. Several times during the meeting members let their partisan feeling crop out, and long before adjournment it was evident that the two factions could not yet come together.
 And thus endeth another chapter of Young Democracy's history.
