WAUsEcN, o., Oct 2, 1888.
We, the undersigned, students of the North
western Normal and Collegiate Institute,
having attended the Normal before its re-
moval from Fayette, deem it a pleasure to

advantages we enjoy here, among which may

ready thorough and competent corps of in
structors, the beautiful and healthy location
of Wauseon, together with the kindness and
hospitality of its citizens, and the elevation
of the Institution to a broader and more
solid basis; which are conducive to the super

The Band Reunion.

l AhO O@hu 1tCuhHOhs
A more propitious day than Tuesday could
not well have been selected for the band re-
union. The weather was simply perfect and
the town was full of people. The attendance
of bands was not as good as was expected, but
circumstances unforeseen prevented more
from being present. Tt was sore disap-
pointment to our boys, but they made the
best of it, and the reunion proved grand
success in every way with this one exception.
The parade was good and was witnessed by
thousands. After the parade the bands con-
gregated on the public square, where appro-
pirate remarks were made by Hon. John
Cuff, which we're well received by the boys
and all within hearing. The procession was
formed as follows:
Liberty Center, 1st-15 members.
Malinta, 2d-14 members.
McComb, 3rd--l2 members
Arcadia, 4th-11 members.
Hamler, 9TH IL members.
Delta, 6th--12 members.
Holgate, 7th--I2 members
White House, 8th-15 members.
Napoleon, 9th-16 members.
The vast crowd highly enjoyed the music
made BY the bands playing in concert, and as
sweet strains foated out upon the air every
one was filled with rapture and delight. The
air was dlled with music during the entire
day, and taking the reunion all in all it was
one Of thr finest entertainments every given
our citizens. Everybody is loud in praise Of
''our boys' for the energy and good manage
ment which they displayed throughout.
The next reunion will be held ii Leipsic on
the I'd Tuesday in June next.

THE STORY OF SATURDAY,
How Harrison's Boom Swelled Up and
Burst.

Burst.
CHICAGO, June 25.-It was Harrison's
attack and repulse by the allies yesterday.
The fourth ballot the first of the day,
was looked forward to anxiously. 1t
might be decisive; but Harrison's net
gain proved to be only 1922 votes, making
eighteen less than Sherman's tally.
Everybody took long breath, and Il
good many looked disappointed. Re
freshed all along the line Il second Harri-
son column was formed. Warner Miller
ordered roll call. This assault was easier
repealed than the first one. Ben lost four
votes, one of them from his own
state. The faces of his friends whitened.
1t was evident that it was all up with
him. The cannonadins had hardly died
away, when Governor Foster of Ohio ap-
peared with a flag of truce and asked for
a recess until 4 p. M. The Harrison men
gladly granted it, and the battle was
over. The Blaine men declare it was Il
sham fight. 1t didn't look like it,
Tie Blaine men went to the front when
u recess had been declared. Although
only five ballots had been taken, they
boldly asserted that it was time to break
the deadlock. They became rampant,
nominate him as soon as the convention
reassembled. There was to be a hurrah
and the thing was to go through with
rush. Their confidence was contagious
Every Blaine outsider broke out anew
and Blaine VOLCANOES began to spout lava
in every part of the city. There was to
be no trouble about the vice presidency
The candidate was to be nominated and
put through by reclamation.
The multitude rushed to the hall where
the convention is held. 1t was packed
to: suffocation. Chairman Estee called
the delegates to order promptly on time
ard ordered the call of the roll on the
sixth ballot. There was great confusion.
Half the delegates were unseated Gen
Adam King of Baltimore arose and
moved that recess be taken until II
a. m. on Monday. Mr.. Estee was dis
posed to refuse to entertain the motion on
the ground that the calling of the roll
was under way, but his coat sleeve was
quietly pulled and whispered words were
poured into his ear. He asked for the re-
quired seconds on the calling of the roll
for recess, and got it. The Blaine
states, with the exception of New York,
voted for it, and the Sherman states
mainly against it, the lines not being
tightly drawn. The recess was taken by
200 majority, and the crowd dispersed.
The Sherman men had played game
of bluff successfully, for John Sherman
had not placed his withdrawal in the
hands Of his friends. These events ought
to put Mr.. Mckinley in the field for good,
but the fire alarm has been rung in the
Ohio delegation, and Foraker badges and
Foraker banners are being displayed in
the hotels. The Blaine men pro-
TESS the utmost Indifference. They
say that the deadlock has not
lasted long enough yet to spring
the man from Maine upon the conven-
ton. eve don't propose to hurry these
fellows" said prominent Blaine dele

The Victory of Wise.

Chairman w. p. Hepburn of Iowa of
the credentials committee advanced to
the platform and made his report The
report, among other recommendations,
favored the admission of the Wise dis
trict delegates from Virginia and the
four Malone delegates at large Mr..
Russell of North Carolina, from the Gre
dentials committee presented IL minority
report which dissented from the majority
report in favor of the admission of the
Wise delegates from the Second, Fifth,
Sixth, Seventh, Eighth and Tenth dis
tricts, who, it is claimed, We're elected
by pretended conventions never called by
the state committee. The report also
favored the admission of the Malone
delegates from these districts.
The majority report was adopted after
long contest.
The result is Il substantial victory for
John ID. Wise and II corresponding defeat
for William Malone. 1t is evident that
Mr. Malone was conscious of the defeat
when was impending, for, satisfied with
the reception which the magnetic John
ID. Wise received at the day session. and
conscious that there was nothing he could
do to overcome the report of the majority
of the committee on credentials, he did
not himself appear at the night session or
attempt to stop the tide which had set in
so strongly against him; $50 to 5l2 is the
measure of the strength which he was
able to secure in this memorable contest
with young Wise.
