rived at o'clock this evening. There
were eight cars, covered with banners,
and the locomotive had a Mckinley puF-
trait above its headlight. About $50 men
came on the train. With a brass band
and a local club as an escort, the anti
Platt men made more noise and provoke ed
more cheering from the crowds that lined
the streets than any arrivals to-day. The
MflhOlland men carried mammoth
roll OF paper which they said had l46.00O
signatures in favor OF Mckinley. They
also carried half of the banner that was
torn in two at the New York convention,
where Mortons candidacy was endorsed.
Some of the prominent men IN the party
were John r. Milholland Col. Fred Grant,
James a. Blanchard, Mayor Jewett Of

ance on the literary societies of the uni
versity Will be required no longer. In the
future a cup will be given for sophomore

ing was a delightful affair. The Kappa
