Farnam Presides-A short Parade
Precedes the Rally During Which |
the Stars and Stripes were Carried at |
Half Mast.
The small democratic minority of Yale |
university after good deal of hard work
succeeded in filing six rows of the Or
ohestra chairs at the Hyperion theater last
evening. Notwithstanding the failure of
the members of the university to attend in
large numbers the theater was overfowing
and in the assemblage were not few re-
publicans who were curious to hear Mac
Vesgh in his new role as an ex-republioan,
the same whom Senator David B. Hill
characterized as the man who took sixteen
years to find out that Tilden was elected
president of the United States.
Prior to the rally the Cleveland club of
the university made short street parade
along the principal streets in the center of
the city. They numbered just 100 by
actual count They had drum corps and
brass band. Some red fra was burned.
but not much, and the whole affair lacked
that enthusiasm which marked the re-
publican parade of Friday evening
Curious incidents of the parade were the
facts that the very first man in the parade,
| the drum maj or of the Yale drum corps,
Fred Hill 1913, was one of the most rabid
| republicans in the college, and
that during the entire procession the
| American flag carried by one of the few
| lusty supporters of Cleveland was allowed
to fly at half mast. AS there is but one
Yale drum corps, and that the republican,
the corps kindly helped out their democra-
tic Yale brethren by heading the process
sion.
The stage at the Hyperion was occupied
by members of the Yale faculty, number
| of students and a large number of our
democratic citizens, among the latter were
| noticed Mayor Sargent, William Nicely,
Professor Simeon E. Baldwin Tin front Of
whose house on the march the procession
gave salute), James Gallagher, Judge
Robertson, City Sheriff Brannagan, Harry
Leigh, S. R. Avis, James B. Martin, G. d.
Fowler and others.
To the music of lugubrious dirge rem
dered by the American band, which later
changed into waltz, the speaker of the
stage. accompanied by W. B. Begg, chair
man of the Cleveland club of Yale, Pro-
lessor Henry w. Farnam and Mayor Sar-
gent. The arrival of the quartette was
greeted with much applause. After the ap
plause had subsidized Mr.. Begg introduced
Professor Henry W. Farnam as chair
man of the meeting.
Il Mr.. Farnam in the course of his speech
4 which was brief, advocated a revision o,
our state constitution and expressed hi
opinion that Judge Morris will be elected
Proceeding he said:
Now whether we are successful in thes,
endeavors or not one thing we are sure of
the coming election Yale il
certain to share in the victory
You know very well that when Presiden
Cleveland hunted through tho land for
worthy successor to James Russell Lowell
he had to rob our faculty of Professo
Phelps. When President Harrison wantei
the best republican he could find to send t,
Berlin he had to rob our corporation O.
, another Phelps, and when it comes to
, fair, broad and scholarly discussion of tn
issues of the present campaign Yale has t,
supply the talent for both sides.
