Every committee had reported
to the permanent organization,
the entire National Com Il ittee
had been named, with but three
or four exceptions, before the

reported. These are but a few
of the Tammany methods perpe-

after having made The regular

give them contestant tickets
Notwithstanding, Mr.. G. E

of this city are greatly indebted
to MIR. Cuney for tavors, who, with
the assistance of others, rendered.

INGRATITUDE.

| IL 10 an Old aphorlsm that yoI
may do SO acts of kindness fo
your friends and if you fail to dc
the one hundreth you get nc
credit for the SO.
That President Harrison bae
been kind to those men who have
villitied and said all kinds of evil
things about him, no one will
deny; that these same men have
not only been fed from the crumbs
that came off the Presidents Ia
BILE but their friends nave been
well cared for.
Some are not satisfied with vot-
ing against him in the late con-
ventlon, but, they go so far as to
abuse him, personally and politi.
cally.
President Harrison has appoints
ed more colored men to office than
any President that has ever occu-
pied the White House.
1t is true that every eolored
man could not be appointed any
more than every white man.
1t is charged that more outrages
have been committed under this
,a,drainiatrafior- than -rnde- t.
, democratic administration.
President Harrison recommend
ed to Congress the passage of
law, known as the Federal Elec
ton Bill, which would have pu
a quietus on the outrages perpe
trated against the negro in th,
South, but, who was instrumental
in defeating the bill? The yer,
men who endeavored to thrus
upon this country the instiga,ol
who defeated the bill aud all form,
er acts that have been lnaugur,
ated In the interest of the negro
were opposed to him in '84.
These men appealed to the
helpless people to help nominate
their enemy; the man who never
had any love for the black man;
man whose policy has always
been rule or ruin. When
1T was ascertaiDed that these black
allies would not support their
enemy, attempts were made to
purchase them.
Failing in this. cry was raised
that no oftice-holding class should
be permitted to vote; that the
Southern delegates cannot give
the republican party an ELECTORAL
vote.
The democratic party in the
South would have the same right
to say to the democracy IN the
North in as much as you demo-
Gratis cannot give US an electoral
vote why should you be allowed
to dictate to the South a Presi-
dent? The South gives you the

I'D front of the ''flim fam leader'sn

the BEE predicted, the last remains
or rather the political funeral of the

Civilization gave them added powers.

or is wolI known. This Grafton iusti-
fed all the expectation based on his
previous reputation and won for him
fresh and permanent laurels. In es.
sence he said:
The law Of opposing forces is a posi-.
tive element in the plan Of the universe.
The lines of past progress are the re.
sultants of antithetic principles. In
the realm OF human action there iS q
permanent conflict between e2oistic
interests and altruistie duties. Savage
egoism knows no criterion of action
save the qualification of selfish desire es.
"My kindred are my friends who Is
not my kin is my enemy" AS we
ascend from the lowest organisms to
the highest, there is a decreasing sac
rifice of life. AS the family grows into
the clan. the clan into the tribe, the
tribe into the nation, there Is an evolu-
tiOn of fraternal feeling and a conse-
quent adjustment of the interests Of
the individual to those Of society at
large. Selfishness is transformed into
unselishness. Love of kindred and
country Overleaps geographical bounds
and puts its arm around the world.
Philosophers have theorized ON broth
erly love, bot not till these last days
has the world learned practical benev-
Olence! Never till now could we catch
the grand symphony of universal phil
anthropy, the prelude to that glorious
triumphal anthem, the universal
Brotherhood of Man and the eternal
Fatherhood of God.

he not only aims to impaTt knowledge
Of French and German, but at the same

PRINCIPAL z. Il. CLIFFORD.
Mr.. Clifford entered Penn as q stu
dent In 1885, and Immediately upon
graduation was elected to the Princi-

until the present time. His uniform
patience and kindness have made him
popular with his classes, while his
mastery of the subjects taught, his
characteristic thoronghness. and his
excellent executive ability combine to
prove his fitness for the place.
Throughout his college life he has been
q diligent student, embracing every
opportunity for gaining knowledge.
In 1891 he was awarded the HRyerfOrd
fellowship, and for the past year has
been pursuing an extended course In
