Harvard Republicans.
LETTER FROM JOHN g. WHITTIER.

AIErTER FROM JOHN 6. WHITTIER.
The Republican club Of Harvard held a
large meeting at fremont Temple, Boston,
Friday night. Among the speakers were
Senator HOar, Ex-Governor Long, Henry
Cabot Lodge. Edward Everett Hale, EX-
Governor Robinson and Judge Hoar, Mr.
Hale read the following letter from the
poet, John G. Whittier
/ am glad that voice will be heard
from Harvard college in support Of the al
WAYS loval party. which i'll our country :
darkest hour saved the Union and re-
deemed it from the shame and curse OF
slavery. SO long as the rights of citizen
ship are denied and men sit in Congress
protesting to represent a constituency
whose votes have been suppressed by vio-
lence or intimidation. the Republican par
tx is a necessity The best interests of all
parts of the country demand it. 1t Is
needed to protect labor and make educa-
ton universal. 1t is needed TO make the
civil service reform, to which the present
administration has given empty profession,
and active hostility, practical and i'm
partial reality.
The really vital question at issue is not
merely one of political economy and tariff
adjustment, important as they may be /;
but, whether in the exercise of the con-
stitutional right of citizenship, free
ballot and fair count shall be had in all the
States of the Union, South as well as
North.
I trust your meeting will go far to prove
that your noble institution is not prepared
for a suicidal abandonment of the good
cause, in support of which so many of her
sons have offered up their lives.
am very truly thy friend,
JOHN G. WHITTIER.
The meeting was great success and
full of ardent Republican enthusiasm.
Among the members of the executive COM
mittee who made the arrangements was
Sam c. Marley, son of Chairman Manley,
of Augusta.

Changed the Programme.

Speaking of bull fghts," said the man. At this remark everybody drew up higher and listened. Speaking of bull fights reminds me of 1853 in Columbia, Cal. It was mining there week days and resting on Sundays. Most of the other fellows mined on week days and fought bulls or bulls and bears on Sun day. One pleasant Sunday I lay in my cabin up on the hillside, where could look down on the country below and particularly upon the big amphitheatre where they were to have fight that day between big bear and bull. The crowd at the fight was sumner. Sud denly heard shots and then more shots, and finally perfect volley and an awful screaming, and then men, women and children began to pour over the big fence and drop about thirty feet to the ground. I went down in hurry.
 "When I got there it was all over. The big bear had broken his shackles and had climbed over the central en- closure up in the seats among the people. Like flash, in every part of the huge audience, pistols were drawn and shots poured in. The bear dashed right and left, and was stung by the bullets. Finally, he approached one old miner, who waited until the bear got within six feet, when he plunked him in the eye and he dropped dead. Lots of women were killed and injured by jumping from the enclosure -fence."
