YOUNG REPUBLICANS OF
ST. PAUL.
LAUGH is ON THE POLITICIAN:
THE '.REAL NICE YOUNG MEN,
SEEM TO HAVE THE WHIP
HAND.
THEY Cannon GET TOGETHER.
What a Member of the "Other Club
Says About Those Who
Got Left


That meeting of the Young Mems Cen
trail Republican club at the Windsor
hotel last Saturday night, at which the
Young Mems Republican league came
in for such roasting" because it had
organized first, has set the two organi-
cations by the ears. The members of
the league were far from pleased with
the ridicule to which they were sub
/ jected by one of the speakers at the
aforesaid meeting who alluded to them
as real nice young men" who abhored
association with political oficehoIders.
The speaker referred to Is E. c. Camp
bell. who Is employed In the Office Of the
clerk Of courts.
Since Mr.. Campbell delivered his little
speech he seems to have had cause to
regret 1T, tnasmuch as he has come out
| With statement declaring that the
G. o b e "garbled" its report of the
speech and placed him In position it
was not his purpose to take. Whatever
Mr.. Campbells purpose may have been.
there is an excerpt from that speech des
Hvered by him in response to a motion
To appoint committee to confer with
the league: "ec
why should we bother ourselves about
these young men We are the larger organiza-
tion Why should we ask favors of them
we have men here with the accent on 'men0
1 predict that their life will be short and that
Delore ions the attorney general will issue
d win Oh quo Warranto requiring them TO
snow warrant for their existence! Go TO
lneln ana ask favors! Why they ought to get
into On Ineir Knees and beg us to let them
INTO our club. We outnumber them and ont
RANK them IN experience, brains and sense.
w. gentlemen, let US mind our own business.
s mG cant 81 iop on our legs and deform our
| selves TO mt their Procrustean bedp'
What Mr.. CampbeIPs purpose NAV
nave oeen IN uttering these words, the
o b may not know, but the mem
pers OF the Young Mems Republican
league did not construe them as ex-
presslve of the most friendly sentiments
that Mr.. Campbell says he entertains
towards the league. AS for the words
quoted, they We're certainly spoken by
Mr. Campbell upon the occasion re-
ported in last Sundays issue.
And now comes Carl Taylor, the
president of the Young Mems Repub-
l1can league. and what does he do but
extend the glad hand to the Central
republican club,jf but with the reser-
walton that the, league is ready at
all times to receive any propositions
Of compromise" Mr. Taylor does not
say thatthe league issready to offer any
propositions OF: compromise" Mr..
Taylor also suggests that the men who
are about to Organize the new club
should abandon that scheme, Join the
Central Republican etlub to go on
Wondering in the grave
But Mr.. Taylor Is not the only mem
Der Of the Young Mems Republican
league. There are others, and they do
not all 1ndorse the action of the pres
ldent. One of the principle officers Of
the league said last evening":
While President Taylor may be-
| lieve In inviting the other club to join
the league, we win net consider any
| proposition for union unless the
other club makes all the overtures.
The fact Is we organized the league for
the very purpose OF shutting out some
Of the young politicians who have been
! appointed to political positions in the
court house and city hall. There are
| seven Of them in aH-three Of whom are
men Imagine that they are of some
| political Importance because they have
| received these appointments
AS for that meeting of the Central
club at the Windsor hotel, there were
only twenty-five or thirty present.
| We had man there under cover, and
know exactly what was said and
! done. And speaking of that meeting
reminds me that Henry Johns was
| present, and is to be a member Of that
club. That settles it as far as the
| league Is concernedy as Johns has hoo
dooed every political organization he
has ever had anything to do with.
1--WE are perfectly satisfied to let
| things remain as they are. We are
duly incorporated, and have already
received over 300 applications for mem
bershir. Besides that we are entitled
| to send delegates to the national
league.
"As for President faylors attitude it
should be understood that in case he
| had joined the other club, he was to
have been elected its president
