Bos1oS, June 24-The weather for the
commencement day at Harvard was perfect
and the time-honorod observances of the

and precision as in former years. Governor
Russell and Lieutenant Governor Tale and
members of the governors staff were es-
corted from Boston by the National
Lancers, reaching Massachusetts hall at IL

waiting to receive them. Among the other
invited guests were Chief Justice Fuller of
the United States supreme court. Within
the theatre was gathered brilliant aud
fence which always assemblies to applaud
the graduates and listen to the oratlons OF
their representatives.
The following alumni officers were
elected for the ensuing year: President,

presidents, Horace Davis, of San Francisco;
Robert I. Lincoln, of Chicago; Henry s.
Hindekoper, of Philadelphia; treasurer, S.

AT the alumni dinner tonight President

Fuller delivered addresses The latter
spoke Of the wisdom of the trainers of the
constitution In declining to coufer political
power upon the judiciary department of

to commend that department to the conf

scrupuious abstinence from purely politi-
cal questions.

CHICAGO, June 23.-The Hon. L. T.
Kitchener, ex-attorney-ge general of Indiana,
and up to year ago chairman Of the Re-
publican state central committee, regis
tered at the Grand Pacific today. Mr..
Kitchener has long been credited with
being politically closer to President Harri-
son than any one in his state. This after
noon he stated not only that Harrison, If
he sc desired, could have the solid delega-
ton of his native state at the next conven-
ton, but also, and contrary to the state
ments made by many of the Republican
leaders in passing through Chicago that
Blaine could not have the nomination for
the asking. 81 do not know that Mr.
Blaine is a candidate" said Mr.. Kitchener,
but l should think it strange if a man
should desire to make the attempt again
after having once suffered the unpleasant
features of defeat. Nor has Mr.. Harri-
son yet announced his willingness to be re-
nominated. / think it but natural, how
ever, that he should desire it, and feel
confident that should he so express him
self it will be given him. Mr.. Harrison as
strongly as ever has the support of our
state. / may say, indeed, that this support
is even stronger for, while Judge Gresha
has fallen none in public esteem, those who
at one time urged his name for the presi-
dency are now, after having seen the
worth of the present administration, &C.

THE EX-COMPTROLLER's STAND
He Avoids the Main Question, Is the Gold Sun
ply Suficient?-Ihe Senator Is Seeking
More Scalps.

lSpeciAto THE HERALD-Examner Dispatcn1
NEW YORK, June 24.-Here is a portion
OF Senator William M. Stewards reply to
John j. Knox's argument. which was pub
ilshed IN to-day's Examiner:
your gold mono me.alist avoids the
issue invited him to prove, that there Is
gold enough and end the controversy.
He does not allude to that question. At the
time silver was demonetized there was no.
too much gold and silver coin to sustain
business, and the credit Of the commercial
world. During the last ffeeen wears
credit and business have expanded out Of
all proportion to the supply of gold coin.
he most industrious and intelligent statis-
ticans maintain there has been no increase
In the amount Of gold coin in the CONNER
cial world in the last eighteen wears. The
events OF the last twelve months have re-
vealed the fact that the supply of gold
coin Is altogether inadequate Before the
failure OF the Earrings the commercial
world was ignorant of the meagre supply
OF gold. Confidence supplied the place OF
com; credit and business expanded. The
knowledge of the want of coin has de-
stroyed confidence. The coin of ultimate
redemption must be increased or confidence
cannot be restored; no more gold can be
OBTAINED; the supply from the mines must
continue to decline. The great gold fields
Oh California and Australia are exhausted.
and the larger part of the supply now
comes from silver mines in connection with
the white metal. III silver is rejected and
silver mining stopped, more than half
OF the supply of toe supply of gold will be-
cut on. A gold standard means inevitable
and continued contraction. The world
must have more money of ultimate redemp-
ton than can be supplied with gold or
bankruptcy and a fall in prices are newt
able. 1t Is idle for the advocate of the gold
standard to discuss the money question
unless he can show there is sufficient gold
to supply the legitimate demands for
money. The silver miners will be satisfied
with free coinage; they do not ask the gov
eminent 70 buy their silver; they have no
more right to do so than the farmer or
manufacturer has to demand the govern
ment shall buy the commodity he produces
The gold advocate will be told not to trou-
BILE himself about the goose that LAYS the
golden egg for the silver miners This
discussion Is idle unless the advocate of
gold will attempt to show there is gold
enough for use as money. If he can estab-
llsh that fact, the discussion ends; if he
cannot prove there is gold enough, / will
then discuss with him how to supply the
deficiency. IL the gold advocate who an.
swered my last communication is unable OF
unwilling to discuss the question whether
or not there Is gold enough for the money
of ultimate redemption, desire some other
adversary, who is both able and willing to
meet the issue. / desire information and

Coinage OF the standard silver DOLLAR.

WASHINGTON, June 24.--It is stated on the
best of authority that the only question to
be considered by the cabinet at Fridays
meeting is whether the coinage of the
standard silver dollsrs shall continue after
the lst proximo, and data on that subject
are now being prepared at the treasury de-
partment a great many communications
on the subject have been received, the large
majority OF which favor the proposition.
The only ones so far opposing it are certain
New York bankers The prevailing senti-
ment with leading treasury officials is that
the proposition will be adopted.
1t Is understood the question of the ex-
tension of the AZ per cent. loan will be dis
posed of next month. Offers so far received
in response to Secretary Fosters sugges-
tions for extension represent only about
$. 1000, coo of the bonds. A prominent treas
ury official said to-day there is not the
least doubt of the governments ability to
meet all its obligations during the coming
fiscal year.
