make Mr.. Teller. leader of the Republican

Democrats. and then of the Populists. is
being bitterly opposed in some Populist
quarters and enthusiastically forwarded III
others.
If the nominee of the Chicago convention
shall not be indersed by the Popuists then
there will be very lively contest for
nomination honors among the Simon Pure
leaders of tine new party. Eugene V. DebS
whose name as Presidential nominee has
been at the head of the columns of more
than n hundred Populist newspapers for
months. will not be nominated, nor would
he accept if he were named. United States

that the speaker could restate them ut
that hour and in his then overstrained con-
dition with enough freshness and vigor to
hold attention, especially as many surely
-amaiority as it proved-were against him.
Cochran knew ali this, and he feared, too,
that unless he did succeed in holding the
interest of the crowd his prestige would
suffer severely.
SO, spurred by the untoward conditions
to do his best, the speaker began. Hardly
had the first words been spoken before
there were heard all over the auditorium
those sounds that indicate the reyiving
interest of a vast audience. By the time
lie had been speaking five minutes the
listless ones were sitting erect and their
eyes were sparkling; the slumbrous ones
ones were wide awake, and those who had
only just left the auditorium were hasten
ing back to hear q great speech, in which
there was no manner of lack in freshness
or force or grace. For two hours the flow
OF eloquence continued, interrupted now
and then by frantic applause, but none
was there who seemed to weary OF the
speakers words. When at last he closed
there was prolonged, deep-tOncd roar,
indca ting that. while his audience was not
in full sympathy with his sentiments. the
address had been too short, rather than
too long. TO those who had listened.
II anyone. at the moment Bourke Cochran
sat down, trembling with weariness and
drenched with perspiration, having de-
iivered, perhaps. the greatest speech OF
his life, had predicted that he was soon
TO drop out OF the party's councils and
would not take part in its next convention
because OF permanent retirement from
American politics the prophecy would
have been treated with the finest scorn.
GOOD SPEAKERS WILL BE HEARD.
Yet, although Cochran will not be there
to waken the echoes with his golden words,
dullness is hardly likely to settle down
upon the crowd within the t!oIseums

he insists, depicts God as cruel, reyengful,
passionate, vindietive and jealous, and he
could not believe that the maker ofthe uni
verse possessed these qualities.
The Bible casts slur on labor by impos-
ing it as punishment, and fosters
profligacy by enjoiniDg one u take no
Thought OF the morrow; that Jesus, who
gave this advice, practiced it, and so does
the modern tramp. He insisted that in
spite of the Bible labor and Industry have
been mans savior. He said the Bible
teaches the world Is fiat and has no corners,
and sun, moon and stars pass around it.
whereas astronomers have clearly demon
strated that it is round and reyolves around
the sun. He insists it is remarka bic that
the intelligence of this century should re-
eeive as absolute truth the superstittous
conclusions of perhaps the most ignorant
age the world haseyer known. He insists
the Bible makes God monster and claims
that since skepticism has spread justice
humanity and beDevolence have kept pace
with it.

The stanford Club.

Stanford University plays q great
game of football, as every person knows.
The fame of the team and its great
coach from Yale, is common talk in
athletic and collegiate circles all over
the country. Last Thanksgiving Day,
in the presence of 10000 people they
demonstrated their supremacy on the
gridiron by defeating their old rivals
from the University of California to
the tune of 20 to 0. In the evening
the talent and versatility of the college
men manifested itself in another di-
rection. The students held the boards,
at California Theater presenting their
Glee, Mandolin and Specially Clubs,
and hundreds of people were turned
away from the greatest college show
ever staged on the coast. The clubs
are now making triumphal tour of
the northwest, singing and playing
their way into hearts of crowded
houses. They play one night at
Olympia Theater, Saturday evening,
Goth inst. The clubs eschew the
monotonous ditties of the old style
clubs and are right up to date with a
new repertoire and list of high
class specialties seldom equaled on the
professional stage. Their appearance
here will be an event of the season.
Social, musical, and athletic circles are
looking forward to the date and will
make the fete a brilliant success.
