their intolerance Of all who voted the

Rather too Previous.
Boston, Nov. 81. In the text of the
address of the Independents of the
country which was to have been for
. warded to Gov. Cleveland, which has
now beer printed, the following pas
sage occurs.
"They will uphold your admins

based upon the principles which
should underlie all political and par
tisan government, of, by, and for the
people: and believing that an honest,
fearless opposition is as necessary to
free government as an able and
vigorous administration itself, they
will not hesitate to oppose your adj.
ministration when it commits itself

committee, one hundred members of
which vigorously opposed it. They
objected to the implied threat, urg.
ing that it would be time enough to
oppose when his acts justified it.

! girls wanted to celebrate, but as all
demonstrations have been forbidden
in the college, by the Republican
faculty, they are anxiously inquiring
where their turn to have procession
comes in.
