COLLEGE COMMENCEMENT.
Commemorative Of Continued Coming
Events,

Commemorative Of Continued Coming
Events.
June 18th witnessed the thirtv-gecond
anniversary of the College proper. For
although the Catalogue shows up since
thirty" its the Olive-branch Of courtesy
from the new to the old, universal unity
The College of to-day is the crystallized
effort Of many men Of many minds, through
doubt, disaster, debt and encouragement.
Its walls were reared by the monies Of men
Of all churches and creeds, and men of
none. We hope that its nou-seotarian
character may continue until life's end.
That at no time may a religious war rage
within its walls, or the day dawn, when to
be an EpjsoOpaliaD will be a high-crime
and mis-demeanor. Anything less broad
reflects on the very foundations Of all edu-
cation and leaves the world to the twin
fends, bigotry and superstition. The rain
imps restrained their inclination to grind
up the summer rain until ten p. m. The
solemn call of the church bell ushered in
the pomp, the pride, the circumstance Of
glorious Graduation I but repeat his
tory when I say the rank, the fashion, and
the beauty Of the town over-howed into the
audience room.
The organ was banked withlhowers, the
altar rail encased by shadowy vines, trail
ing moss and the pale tinted green Of Ger
man ivy swayed gracefully from every
side-ight and chandelier. Lilies and roses
we're content to die in the hot gas light,
breathing out sweetness in such 'faire
and goodlie company" The mighty com
motion of the hirtatious fan, from the
nickel production Of far on Japan, to tho
sad, uncertain, silzen rustic Of its aristo-
cratic sister from Paris, kept the audience
amused the brief time Of waiting.
All assemblages Of people have their land
marks and the usual fussy old lady failed
not; she wanted front seat so she could
see, back one so she could get out in case
of FIRE. She reached frandcally for pro.
gramme and then bewailed the specs she

Then turned her attention to thesseating of
the visitors, waved her fan, her umbrella,

itself, in unavailing efforts to catch the eye
Of passing acquaintanoes. Being worn out
with the active old lady, we were charmed
to rest our eyes on the face Of Miss Mary
Story, one who so ably and brilliantly filed
her position for short time in the H. f.
O., and when she bid adieu, left troops Of
friends behind her who have not yet
ceased to regret her. The grand deep
tones of the organ brought reaction from
reverie and slippered feet kept time to the
deep bass. First, President Lloyd and wife,

BLAINE AND LOGAN
RATIFICA.
TON MEETING.
Ringing Speeches by Judge
Thompson, Hon. ], J, Pugs-
ley, Judge Gardner
and others.
A BLAINE AND LOGAN CLUB OR.
GANIZED.

The Republicans of Hillsboro ratified
the Chicago nominations by a large and en-.
thusiastic meeting, held at the Court House
last Saturday night C. S. Bell Esq. was
called to the Chair and John Q. Price ap.
pointed Secretary.
Mr.. Bell on taking the Chair, cougratu.
lated the Republicans on the nominations Of
Blaine and Logan aud on the nuspicious
manner in which they had been received
throughout the country. He believed that
Blaine was the spontaneous choice Of three
fourths Of the Republican masses and that
the people would ratify that choice at the
polls next November.
Judge Thompson was then called out and
made a ringing speech, in which he warm
ly endorsed the ticket and expressed his full
confidence in a glorions Republican victory
in the approaching contest. He said this
was the fourteenth Presidential campaign
in which he had taken part and never had
more worthy candidates been presented to
the people, and never had he entered upon
a contest with higher hopes or stronger as
surances Of success. He reviewed the rec
ord Of the Republican party, and its grand
achievements for the welfare and prosperity
Of the country, and asked what the Demo-
cratic party had to offer in exchange.
That party had no fixed policy or princi-
pies and could not even agree upon tariff
bill in the present Congress, where it has
so large a majority. He drew a vivid pict-
ure Of the danger which would result from
a triumph Of the "solid South" which
would give that section the control of our
national affairs, and paid an eloquent trib-
ute to the characters of the Republican can
didates, eulogizing Mr.. Blaine as the Henry
Clay Of modern politics. Judge Thompson
seemed to renew his youth in the earnest
ness and yigor with which he spoke and
closed his speech amid enthusiastic ap-
plause
He was followed by Hon. j. j. Pugsley,
who expressed his high admiration for Mr..
Blaine and said he regarded him as head
and shoulders above any other American
statesman, and as eminently worthy Of the
exalted Office for which he has been nomi-
mated and to which he firmly believed he
would be elected by the people. The i'm
press of his ability and patriotism were
stamped upon every page Of our national
history for the past twenty years, and no
other man had contributed more to the
glorious achievements of that period.
He also paid warm tribute to General
Logan, as a soldier, patriot and statesman,
equally distinguished on the battle field
and in the halls of legislation. He referred
to the celebrated Indian chief Logan, and
his famous speech, in which he said,
Logan is the friend of the white man, 81
and said that General Logan had made a
far grander speech, for he had shown
throughout his career that he was the friend
of the black man as well as of the white
man. He said that Blaine and Logan made
