Wants Youngs to Get Out.

New York, 1895

The Hon. William J. Youngs, Chairman of the Republican County Committee, announces that he will sail for Europe on Saturday to be absent several months. The Herald congratulates Mr. Youngs on his departure, as the party will for some months be saved from his "pernicious activity," and that will be so much gained in the direction of a restoration of harmony. In view of the recent scandal at Albany, in which Assemblyman Vacheron, who has been so closely associated with Mr. Youngs, is the most conspicuous figure, the proper course for Mr. Youngs to take would be to withdraw from politics by resigning from the County Committee and the State Committee. As a leader his usefulness is destroyed, and his further active connection with the party will be an injury to it and have a demoralizing effect. — Long Island City Herald, Republican.
