Haryard's Negro Orator.

A sudden turn is given to the sensation over the
selection of the colored barber student, Clement
Morgan, as orator of the senior class at Harvard
College, Mass. Now it is declared that the thing
was gigantic guy" on the part of the swell
members of the class, who seeing that their first
choice for the post of honor was sure to be defeat
ed. determined to bring odium on their fellows
by forcing them to take the colored man. Another
reason for the selection of the colored barber is
believed to be found in the recent speech of Pres-
dent Eliot, in which he declared himself to be a
democrat Mcrgans republican classmates have
therefore conferred the unique distinction on him
for the purpose of showing their disapproyal of
the Presidents speech. The general concensus Of
opinion among the students is that the senior
class hes teen the victim of hasty pudding club
hosx, and bets are freely offered that Morgan will
never AXE the Grafton which he is expected to
deliver. The chances are that he will be bought
off. Every Harvard club in the country has sent
vigorous protest against the election of the COL
ored man. aud deal of feeling hiss cropped out.

IT IS commonly believed that General
Malone, if he be really fighting for the Gov
ernorsbip, and not, as is shrewdly surmised,
simply for the twenty hold over Senators,
places his chief, if not his only, reliance
upon the influence of the large sum of mo-
ney that the national republican committee
has put at his command for election pur-
poses, that is for the bribery of voters and
the purchase of votes according to the plan
recommended by Col. Dudley and adopted
with such successful results 10 Indiana at
last falls election il that State. To be fore.
warned is to be fo-earmed, and as the pur-
chase OF votes is felony, punishable with
fine or imprisonment, the democrats will
have themselves only to blame if they allow
the voters of the State to be debauchen with
republican money-money given to General
Malone by the most impacable South. haters
in the North.

TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER %.

IT NOW turns out that the senior class at
Harvard which recently elected a negro
man its class orator by one majority, was
not induced to do go by the mans quali6ca
tions, but by the assigned reason that "the
election of coored man would be hand
some way of showing Hsrvard's friendship
for the race, especially in view of the nota'
BILE part filed by such Harvard men as SUM-
ner, Phillips and others in the abolition
movement" In other words, a majority OF
one of the two hundred and Fifty members Of
the senior class of Harvard elected negro
its class orator, not for his peculiar fitness
for the place, but for the same reason that
ex.President Cleveland used to appoint ne
groes to ofice-"in order TO recognize the
colored element of the ccuntry's popula'
tion," in short, because he is negro. This
may be very good reason to some people,
but it is very bad one to many others.
