THE RAIN.

We knew it would rain. for ali the morn
A spirit on slender robes of mist
Was lowering its golden buckets down
Into the vapory amethyst
OF marshes and swamps and dismal fens,
Scooping the dew that lay in the flowers,
Dipping the jewels out of the sea,
To sprinkle them over the land in showers.
We knew it would rain. for the poplars
showed
The white Of their leaves, the amber grain
Ehrunk in the wind, and the lightning now
Is tangled in the tremulous skeins of rain!

SEVERAL citizens of Philadelphia
who at some periods of their lives
have been compelled to eat horsehesh
and have since retained a liking for
the meat, have inaugurated a society
for the purpose of encouraging the
use of mag beef. as it is scornfully
called in the army, and to arrange
for the periodical Strengthening of
choice animals SO that occasional
feasts OF the flesh may be given by
them. These gentlemen assert that
the taste for horseAesh can be ac-
quired like the taste for many other
things, and to prove their statements
in this regard they point to the fact
that in Paris ever since the seipe,
when many people were compelled to
eat that kind of meat, there are regu-
lar shops established for the sale of
horseflesh alone.

CLEVELAND has written letter to
the Committee on Ceremonies of the

be present at the ceremonies He
had intended to go and gives the fol-
lowing reasons why he had changed
his mind: l may be over-sensitive
and even morbid on this subject, but

FOR UNIVERSITY REGENTS,

SUPPOSE that Weaver may hold the
balance of power in the Electoral
College-it matters not what the
number of votes he may have at his
command. He has already stated
taat he desires the free and unlimited
coinage of silver as the first step in
the right direction, and is willing
that his electors shall cast their votes
for any man of any party who is
known to be for that measure. We
will suppose that Harrison knows all
about the position of the Silver
Electors He will know that, in case
the election goes into the House of
Representatives, he stands not the
ghost of show of being reelected.
Does any one doubt his willingness
to stand aside to give place to free
coinage r publican rather than to
see Cleveland elected? Does any one
suppose. also, that Cleveland would
hesitate to stand aside to give place
to free-coinage Democrat, in case
it became certainty that the Elee.
toral College would agree upon some
free-coinage Republican if he did not?
The Silver party is fighting life
and-death struggle for the money OF
the Constitution and against the
money-lenlers of Lombard street and
Wall street. And they will stop at
nothing that is fair in politics to ac-
complish their ends.

what Payne saws OF the Caucus.

Platt left his room in response to a sud-
den call after hearing the result of the
Harrison conference. His chief lieutenant,
Louis +. Payne, said to a United Press re-
porter: 1.-THE statement of the votes given
out as the strength of Mr.. Harrison as de-
veloped in his conference is a transparent
fraud and made only for the effect it may
produce in the knowledge that our side
nor the press could possibly make a can
vass of the men alleged to be there in the
time remaining so as to demonstrate its
falsity. You may say for us all that we
have to say from this on and that Is, that
we have beyond preadventure majority
of the delegates pledged to Mr. Blaine and
that we will demonstrate that fact upon
the floor of the convention"
Refuse'To BE Comforted.
The rank and file of the Blaine adherents
do not share in the convictions of success
expressed by Mr.. Platt and his lieuten-
ants and express themselves as about
tired of their leaders. Since the news of
the Harrison conference they have been
weeping and refuse to be comforted. Sew
eral attempts have been made to get up
impromptu mass-meetings Of Blaineites in
the lobby of the West hotel. but the speak
ers only succeeded in getting drowned
under an avalanche of yells for the presi-
dent. Tickle sentiment has turned like a
flash toward the Harrison side, and in the
afternoon the Blaine badges and plumes
and banners were few and far between
and the air was surcharged with Harrison
ism.

Republican College League.

political organization formed at the Uni

its first meeting at the West hotel to de-
termine upon the general policy to be
pursued by the league during the coming

league to be in a very prosperous condi-

Mr.. hobart of Illinois presented reso-
tion (also referred) providing that Grand
Army men be admitted to standing room,
and that if any seats were vacant thirty
minutes after the convention was called
to order they should be allowed to occupy
them. The resolution was received with
applause. The chairman then announced
that the question was on the motion to
take recess. There were cries of mo"
from all over the hall and coupled
with cries of Ingalls," but in the
confusion the chairman put the motion
and declared it carried. A New York
delegate called for division. 1t was evil
dent as the ayes stood up that the motion
was carried. The clerk, however, made
the count religiously. When the "nays"
arose the opponents of the recess waved
their arms to call their friends to their
feet but the effort was useless. The
chairman announced the vote as 407 to
S260, and at 11:45 declared that the conven-
tion therefore take recess until 8
O'Clock at night.
