HOW TO VOTE IN 1892,
Yale and Harvard Students Tell
What They Know About Politics
Issues of the Two Great Parties
Discussed In Joint Debate at CAM
br1dSe-GOvernor Russell in the
Chair. - I
BOSTON, Jan. 14.-Sanders' theater, Cam
bridge, was filled tonight with large and
interesting audience gathered to listen to
the joint debate between representative
students of Yale and Harvard. The prop
osition under discussion was "That q
young man casting his ballot in 1892
should vote for the nominee of the demo-
cratic party" If prospective voters were
depending upon to-nighfs meeting to out
line their duties in the presidential contest
they are now as much at sea as ever, since
no vote was taken at the close of the de-
bate and the speakers on either side pre-
scented such strong arguments as to leave
newly fedged voter in a tangle of un-
certainty and doubt. Governor Russell
presided, and in announcing that no
formal vote would be required of the su-
be done, as if called upon for a verdict
they would find themselves in dilemma
in deciding between loyalty to their alma
mater and loyalty to their party. The de-
bate was opened by R. R. Upton of Yale
in the affirmative, who declared that the
democratic party was the party of fair
trade and progressive ideas. The great
purpose for which the republican party
was formed has been achieved, divided
councils have prevailed, personal ambi-
tions have dominated and the party is
dominated by the money power. G. F.
Costigan of Harvard was the first to speak
in the negative, and confined his remarks
wholly to a review of the two
question. With the record of the
democratic party upon this question in
view the new voter should vote against its
nominee. w. E. Thoms of Yale fol-
lowed in the affirmative, speaking of the
democratic policy as one that should win
to their side the votes of all young men.
He compared the Mills and Mckinley bills
in many of their details to the
advantage of the former, and said the
charges that the democratic position re-
garding the tariff is one of hostility to
American progress as only fit for cam
paign cries and are not true.
B. G. Surbridge of Harvard made quite
a humorous speech, supporting the rspub
ican side of the question, touching upon
the silver question, tariff, and predicting
that the democrats having deliberately
thrown overheard the two foremost cham
pions of their theory would pass tariff
bill far more Objectionable than that of
1883.
william P. Aiken of Yale was the last
speaker in the affirmative. He asserted
that while the democratic party had gath
cred consistent and elevated purpose
the republican party had taken no step for
ward. The democratic party can be
moulded by the young men because the
lion of private interest does not stand in
its path.
Arthur F. Stone of Harvard closed the
debate, speaking in praise of the republi-
can party's position on the questions of
pensions, southern elections and civil SER
vice reform.
The speeches were limited to fifteen
minutes each, and all the speakers ap-
peared at their ease and at times received
great applause from their sympathizers in
the audience.
THE QUESTION OF SUCCESSION.
Haste to be Made in Bringing About
the Marriage ofPrince George-Con-
dition of Princess May.
LONDON, Jan. 14.-The gossip concern
ing the succession has been greatly in
creased by the duke of Clarences death.
1t is generally agreed that haste will now
be made in bringing about the marriage of
Prince George to remove the possibility of
the Fife succession. AS the succession
now stands, in the event of the death of
the Prince of Wales and Prince George the
throne would fall to the wife of the duke
of Fife, and after her death to Lady Alex
andra Duff, her daughter, who is not q
year old. .
This possibility is not viewed with
equsnimity by the nobility, who believe
that all the heirs to the throne should be
of the full blood royal
It is limited very broadly that marriage
between Prince George and Princess Vic
toria Mary of Teck will be arranged. The
newspaper Modern Society, however, as
serts that marriage has already been ar
ranged between Prince George and
| daughter of Prince and Princess Christian.
The condition of Princess May is pitia-
| BILE. She wanders from to room, weeping
| bitterly and appears to be d azed at the
sudden taking off of her betrothed hus
band. She refuses to touch food and her
terrible distress is causing much appre-
hension regarding her. This afternoon
messages of coincidence began pouring in
from m ost of the rulers of tho world and
from the prime ministers of many coun-
