PRINCETON'S BIG DAY.
President and Mrs. Cleveland Among
the Visitors...0rand Parade Gf
..... College Men.

Princeton,N. j., Oct. 21.-All that goes
to make UP q pleasant fall evening
conspired tonight to give the closing
exercises of the alumni and student
day of the Princeton sesqui centennial
a glorious send off. All day long the
crowds had been coming in from all
directions until at o'clock it was esti-
mated that there were between 10000
and 1900 visitors swarming the streets
and campus.
The great event of the evening was
the procession of alumni and under
graduates with representatives of other
universities, and the illumination of the
campus and Nassau hall.
At 7.45 o'clock President Cleveland
arrived, accompanied by his wife, and
were escorted to the reviewing stand in
front of Nassau hall by the Philadelphia
City troop Of cavalry. On the platform
with the president were Governor
Briggs. Dr. Patton. Mr.. Henry NJ. AL
eyander and Professor Andrew West,
with their parties. While an informal
reception was going or on the stand the
procession was passing along Nassau
street and thence 1t came back through
the campus, passing in review before
the president.
The parade was headed by the Sew
enty-first regiment band of New YORK.
ana IOllOWlHS tIllS was thC SoIipohy Va
under graduates known as the "mer-
Ger blues" wearing cooked hats and
the buff and blue uniforms of colonial
days. AS these passed by the band
struck UP Just tell them that you saw
me-"
Following then came company OF
Yale men in caps and gowns followed
by the under graduates of Princeton.
The "Old Guard classes from 1853 to
1859 passed by next, commanded by
Adjutant General w. s. Striker, '5S,
and marching to the tune Of Aud
Lang Syne." The class Of 81 provided
an interesting feature.
An advance guard of men dressed IN
short breeches and long coats of George
Washington style, preceded the coach
in which Rev. r. d. Harlan. Of Roches-
ter. was seated, taking the part Of
George himself. The coach was drawn
by four grey horses, and two darkies
were perched upon the high high seat
in front.
The motto on one Of the transpar-
encies carried by the class Of '95 eX-
cited considerable merriment. 1t was
addressed to the president, and read:
"Grover, send your boys to Princeton"
at which his excellency smiled as If he
would take the matter into considera-
ton at later day. After the process
sion had passed the band commenced
playing "Old Nassua," and thousands
of voices took up the refrain.

COL. NORTON'S LETTER.
The Middle Of the Road Popullst Offers
His Contribution OF Abuse Of the
Republican Party.

Washington, Oct. 2l.-Colonel $. j..
Norton, of Illinois. who was the cam
didate of the Middle of the Road POpu-
lists at the st. Louis convention. has
written to Chairman Butler a letter
denouncing the Republican party and
eulogizing Bryan. In the course of his
letter. Colonel Norton says:
However much Populists may have diff
fered at St. Louis as to the correct policy
to adopt; however much some OF US may
still believe that mistakes were made, un-
der existing circumstances, there Is only
one course to pursue, and that Is to loyal
ly and earnestly support Mr.. Bryan-not
so much for the sake of elevating him to
the presidency. as for the purpose OF de.
feating what may be appropriately ana
most eXpressively termed Mark Hanna
Republicanism.
We are in the face of the enemy; We
are upon the field Of battle, the welfare
OF our country Is at stake, u sacred cause
Is trembling in the balance, our opponents
are dangerously well equipped and thor
oughly organized, and the contest Is fierce
and relentless;. all personal ambitions.
therefore, should be suppressed. all per-
sonal grievances should be forgotten. and
all minor differences should be deferred
till the battle is won or lost. Every gun
should be turned upon the common enemy.
Whether Mr.. Bryan Is a Popuiist or not,
one thing Is absolutely certain, every
enemy which reforners have encountered
during the last twenty years we find to-
day among his bitterest and most relent-
less opponents. Every monopOlistic cor
poration, every oppressor of labor, every
land grabbcr, every trust and combine.
every robber syndicate, every millionaire
stock jobber, every subsidized newspaper.
every well paid corporation lawyer, every
millionaire coal baron, every Shylock
creditor and every plunderer of the worlds
wealth-produccrs-al of these old-time
enemies. whom reformers have met on SO
many battleields, are today Mr.. Bryan's
enemies. If they are his enemies, he must
their defeat is our victory If defeat
awaits US, and our standard bearer falls.
let there be no Populist arrows found
either in his breast or in his back. Let
the responsibility rest upon other should
ers than our own.

Thirty Thousand Listeners Cheer the
Speaker at New Albany..The In.

ing of whistles and firing Of cannon.

Scribner's park was packed with peO-
pie to such a degree that 1t was diff
ficult to force way through 1t for
the carriages of the distinguished
speaker and party. The crowd at the
park was estimated at from $4,000 to
$4,000 people. The enthusiasm was of
the intense sort and General Harrison
was given q great ovation.
The first stop after New Albany was
at the little town of Borden, where
something over q thousand farmers had
gathered.
There was profuslon Of gold in the
decorations. The enthusiasm was keyed
to high pitch and General Harrison
made notable. though very brief,
speech. They knew, he explained, un-
der what conditions they had had pros
perity. but Mr.. Bryan was trying to
persuade them that they would find ii
in another direction. He closed by ask

Ihe response was an uproarious ory

At Salem, the county seat Of the
sparsely settled and agricultural coun-
ty of Washington, q stop Of nearly an
hour was made. The gathering which
surpassed anything Salem had ever
seen. was estimated at from ten to
twelve thousand people, who had gath
cred from Washington and adjoining
counties.
GRAND PARADE AT ORLEANS.
orleans, set down among the hills of
Orange county, was the next stop and
there seemed to be more people there
than the county contained. The crowd
was computed at 1000 and they had
just finished a parade that stretched
out three miles in length. Every town

bunting, flags and pretty girls and one
of these floats was drawn by forty
horses. There was large number of
cavalry companies, the riders wearing
gold sashes and gold hats. The town
was elaborately decorated, yellow be-
ing the prevailing color.
General Harrison made a speech to
his farmer audience. inpressing them

PENNSYLVANIA'S POOR PLAY.
In an Indifferent Game Defeats the
Amherst Club by a Score Of IA to o.

Philadelphia, Oct. 21.-Pennsylvania
beat Amherst IA to this afternoon and
in doing so gave the poorest exhibition
Of foot ball Of any Quaker team in
years. Fumbling, off side playing and
general Indifference and listlessness
marked Pennsylvania's play and it was
only towards the close Of the second
half that the team put any life in their
game. Amherst Is possibly one of the
weakest teams Pennsylvania has met
this season, yet in the first half Am
herst kept the ball in Pennsylvania s
territory nearly all the time and once
or twice had it dangerously near the
Quaker's goal. 1t was not Amhersts
strong play that enabled them to make
such good showing but the rank FUN
bling and persistent offside play of their
opponents.
Pennsylvania play was so bad that
1t gave rise to the suspicion that the
Indifferent work was purposely acted
so as not to give a line up on the team
to some Lafayette men who were pres
ent studying the Quaker's game. For
the first time in month, Boyle, Penn
sylvania's star end, played, and his in
jured leg was again hurt and he had to
be carried from the field.

he did not intend to come down. II
am in the fight, and am going to stay
there. My word of honor is out and no
threats will make me furl the flag of
my party. If were to come down my
people will so farther away. They will
either sta. at home or vote for Nc
Kinley. If l were to come down my
friends would feel that their party had
been deceived and Mr.. Bryan's cam
paign would collapse in Oregon and
North Dakota. The chairman Of the
Democratic party in Oregon wired me
when It was noised abroad that / was
going to come off the ticket not to do so,
as they would have no time to put an
other ticket up, and my coming off
would give that state to Mckinley; my
coming down would also throw both
Illinois and Indiana to Mckinley"

That National politics interfere
with trade is known to every
American, and at no time In the
nations history has this fact peen
so apparent as now. Banks reluse
the ordinary courtesies anu accom-
modations to their best customers,
gilt-edge securities go begging for
loans, and commercial papers,
which under ordinary conditions
would be as good as gold, is worth
less for immediate use, and the
money question Is the cause OF II
all. Under these conditions, when
manufacturers or jobbers are
pinched, there is but one help for
them, and that is to realize for spot
cash in their stocks so that they
may tide over the present awful
stringency.
