CIarkSon's Views on the Republican
National Convention.
CHICAGO, May 17.-Chairman J. S.
GARRISON of the Republican National
Committee arrived this morning from
the Hot Springs, Arkansas, fully restored
to health. To a reporter be said: The
100000 Republicans who will be repre-
scented at Minneapolis have not made up
their minds regarding candidate. The
results Of the State Conventions clearly
show this. There viii be more unin-
Structed delegates in the Minneapolis
Convention that ever was known IN the
history of the Republican party. The
Northern States and the States which cast
the electoral votes which will elect have
almost sent uninStructed delegations.
The majority OF Instructed delegates
come from the Southern States. Some
able editors and Federal ofiice-holders
claim the nomination is settled already.
l certainly do not think so, but as for be-
ing party to any conspiracy for the
nomination of Blaine, Sherman or Har-
rlSOn, l desire to enter my protest. I
Will keep out OF the contest and cast my
vote for whomever | shall determine will
be the winner. Without much doubt
there will be several ballots cast. The
man must be very popular who would
secure the nomination on the first ballot.
when such large proportion Of the dele
gates are uninStruCted.

pine, Princeton.
One of the principal objects of the or
ganization of these college Republican
clubs, as stated in the platform, is to
counteract the general impression that
college men are tree-traders, and foster
the development OF a healthy study of
political economy from practical rather
than a theoretical standpoint; to encourage
young men to take a more prominent
part in political work, and by encourage
ing pure methods to place politics on "a
higher plane.
