 Fassett aud other prominent Repubii
 can leaders. Tae occasion was the or
 ganiz8tion of the National League of

 lsges, from Maine to California. The

 lege; Bates Co lege. Maine; Boston Uni

 The convention was called to order about noon by President Burke of the University Of Michigan Club. A. E., Ewing welcomed the delegates The mention of Blaine's name in the address
 of welcome was the signal for all ovation. This afternoon the convention perfected
 its organization by adopting a constitu- ' tion aud electiDg the following officers: President, James F. Burke, University of Micaigan; first Vice president, J. | R. Eregloam of the Leland Stanford Jr. University; Secretary, James M. Per
 kins, Harvard College; Treasurer, M. .. { Alpin, Princeton. One of the principal l objects of the organization of these Col | lege Republican Clubs, as stated in the platform. IS to counteracL the general ! impression that college men are free ! traders, and to foster the development of healthy study of political economy ! from practical, rather than a theoret- ical stand point; to encourage young
 men to take a more prominent part in political work, and, by encouraging pure
 methods, to place politics on higher 1 place.
 A grand banquet was held this eve- ming at which there were over 1000 guests. Gen. Alger responded to the
 sentiment "rhe Republican Party on Guard" When Governor Mckinley
 arose he was greeted with a round of applause which lasted five minutes. He opened his speech with a commenda ton of the work of the young men who had undertaken the organization, and outlined the history and policy of the Republican porty.
 "Ihe Democratic party" he declared,
 ''is mighty force in mega ion. It Is weak and trlfiing ID practical legIs atiol. Its last majority Tn the House, after five
 months of trial, IS convicted before tIe American people as weak and vacilat- ing, as cowardiy and cringing, and as wanting both the capacity and courage to carry into practical legislation wha,
 they have professed before the people
 and upon which they allege that they won victory in 1690."
 Governor Mckinley declared that pro lection to American industries aud
 American labor against all the world,
 was as essential and fundamental in the
 code of Republican principles as it ever
 was in that of the old Whig party. Op-
 position to these constitute the armor
 and arsenal of the Democratic party.
