cry Phillips, Garrison, Henry Ward
 Beecher and others have came here ta speak on the question and all were re-
 ceived by partially hostile audiences,
 and I have even seen them mobbed
 Two thirds of us were pro-slavery
 when we entered, and anti-slavery when we graduated The question had been
 put to us, that of the abolition of slav- cry and we had solved 1t, although 1t seemed hopeless at first So 1t is with all great questions. They are solved, and on the right side.'
 l MT. Depew then spoke of the questions that confronted the people in 1896, and of the way they had been solved by the republican party. The speaker dWelt at length on the many promises Of Bryan made four years ago and to-day, should he be elected to the presidency. '"These promises, if they were to be full filed" the speaker said would mean the displacement of millions of men. The exploitation of the doctrine of MT. Bryan means that those who are em- ployed will despise their employers, that the successful will be pulled down by the unsuccessful, and that those who are climbing up will be pulled down with the ladder on top of them. One of MT. Bryans prophesies in '96 was | that If Mckinley was elected the depos- 1 its would disappear from the savings banks and that the number of deposi- | tors would materially decrease, if the gold standard was adopted Figures show that that the increase during the administration of MT Mckinley in the deposits in the banks to be 00000, 900, and the number Of depositors have in creased 400, 900. There Is no solution to the problems that MT. Bryan has put before us, and I don't see how any young man of the present day can up- hold the policy of Bryan during the campaign that is now on. He asks you to make investments, but there Is nothing to be gained in return and do you think that the far-sighted man will long consider any proposition of that sort?"
 MT. Depew then gave an account of the great advancements that have talk en place during the last four years, and towards the end of his speech he took up the matter of trusts. The speaker said that he knew all the presidents in his time and spoke briefly on each one from Lincoln down to Mckinley. For all that goes to make up man of af- lection and magnetism. with singular genius in time of war; if war is needed, and with sympathetic heart to close it, with courage and industry, and having in heart the general wants of the people I know of no man so we'll equipped as William Mckinley" With this sen tence MT. Depew brought his speech to close.

A TIP ABOUT CAMPAIGN DOCU
 MENTS

"There are great piclsings for a hack
 writer in a presidential campaign" '"
 said a New Orleans bohemian who
 boasts that he can turn his hand to
 anything from an obituary notice to a
 poem on suspenders. "I began fully a
 year ago, taking the nation, state by
 state, and marking off on map the
 topics that would be likely to be the
 principal subject of discussion during
 the campaign. Of course. I had to
 modify my schedule from time to time,
 and bring it up to date; but 1t enabled me to prepare an immense lot Of mat ter in advance. For states where the German element was heavy, to give you an illustration, l got up little folder, showing the horrors of militarism, and proving by statistics that we would be bound to resort to compulsory army service under republican rule. Then I wrote another pamphlet, dwelling on the perils of free silver, for saving bank depositors, also addressed espec- ially to the Germans l entitled one, Bullets to Your Boys and the other, Silver versus Savings, and submitted them to the two state campaign com mittees They were both singularly convncing When I wrote them I was alternately red-hot McKinleyite and rabid anti-imperialist. I have suc- ceeded in placing two Bullets and one of the other brand, with good prospects for further orders. Net results, so far, $125.
 These will give you an idea of how I work the state organizations, but need less to say, I made my star play at the national committees. I have lombard ed their literary bureaus with leaflets, poems, posters, ready-made editorials, songs and suggestions for cartoons and the harvest has been pretty satisfactory. One of my finest efforts is ballad 'Talkative Teddy. or the Windy Warrior of San Jaw-on Hill" It has a companion piece called ''Rah for Ted Roosevelt, a Man Among Men' The first will make any republi- can fight, and the second Is guaranteed to reduce any democratic majorities 10 per cent, Some of my pamphlets are answers to each other, and the way I tear myself all up and down the back is worth double the price of admission, I believe I'm the only man in the coun- try in this particular line of business and, as it has taken me twelve years or three campaigns, to find out how to do it, I am not afraid of competition. Well, ta-ta! l wish to finish a little

work in the university. President Had ley spoke about imperialism and said | the country had known two kinds of imperialism. The first kind was that
 under Cleveland and Olney, and the
 other kind was the present under Root
 and Hay. He said that he had care
 fully studied the great questions and
 that he would cast his vote for McKin-
 ley, as his individual experience with
 imperialism had taught him.
 At the conclusion of the remarks
 President Hadley was given a rousing
 cheer, the procession then moving down
 Trumbull street to Orange street. The
 parade moved down Orange street to
 Chapel and up Chapel to the New Ha-
 ven house, where they were met by the
 Mclean party. The Yale men escorted
 the gubernat torial party to the Grand opera house and then proceeded back to the New Haven house. Senator De- pew made his appearance then and was escorted to College street hall. The scramble to get into the hall was ter rife and it is a wonder that nobody was injured. There were a few ladies in the crowd and a number of profess sors, but otherwise the audience was composed mostly of Yale men. There was not an available seat in the hall ten minutes after the doors were open- ed and by the time the speaker made his appearance hundreds were standing up along the walls. At S:15 Senator De- pew made his appearance, escorted by Professor Perrin and Julian Day, the president of the Yale Republican club. MT. Day announced that the chairman of the evening would be Professor Per rin.
 Professor Perrin, after few remarks of welcome, spoke of MT. Depew as a man who had declined more honors than most men ever hear of, and then introduced the speaker of the evening. There was tumultuous applause as Sen ator Depew stepped to the front of the platform, and long cheer was heartily given for him. MT Depew said that he had delivered speeches in New Haven for the last forty years but this occa sion was the first at which his audience was made up exclusively of students. He said he was very glad to welcome the men of Yale, and this was done, he said only from favoritism. He said that he found, before he left New York, that he was billed to deliver a speech before 5000 voters in New York and also to speak before the citizens of New Haven. Then he had the engagement of addressing the students. He said that when the question arose as to which body he would address those who are or those who are to be, he chose those who are to be.
 MT. Depew spoke of the pleasure it gave him to be once more with the young men who think, study and play in the same way that he used to do when a member of the class of 1856. He referred to the grave situation that con- fronted the men in his class, namely, the slavery question, and compared it's with the great problems of the present day.
 '"The slavery question:" he said, "at that time was so remote that there were few in the class who would even discuss whether it was right or wrong Two-thrds of the men were pro-slavery men when they entered college and by the time they graduated there was less than one-third who would uphold sIav-

SENATOR DEPEW'S SPEECH
BEFORE TALE STUDENTS LAST
 EVENING.
Housing Reception Given Him What He Says of Bryan's Promises-Grent Parade Preceded the Address-Presi- dent Hadley's Statement on Imperial- ism.

Nearly every student in Yale univer- sity turned out last night and heard Senator Chauncey M. Depew deliver a most interesting campaign speech In College street hall. The meeting was under the auspices of the Yale Repub- lican club The enthusiasm that greet ed Senator Depew has never been equal ed at a similar occasion before a strict ly Yale audience, and it is doubtful Is ever a public speaker was more cor dially received in this city than the popular Yale graduate was at last nights meeting. Cheers interrupted his address continually, and at the opening and closing of his remarks the long Yale cheer rang out from the throats of the fifteen hundred Yale men present, as if the students were cheer ing a victorious crew or football team. It must have made MT. Depew feel in- spired to witness the parade that was formed in his honor and that escorted him to the hall for his address was very stirring one and was one that every one present, especially if he were re- publican, greatly appreciated. MT. De- pew said few things during his re- marks that made the handful of Bryan supporters resentful, but there was nothing said that would cause any in- felicity between speaker and listener.
 Over thousand men took part in the big parade that preceded the ad- dress the parade starting at the corner of College and Chapel streets. The chief marshal of the parade was Captain Brown of the football team, and the other men that had charge of the marching and who sat on the platform during the address were:
 19O1-S. L. Coy, G. s. Stillman, R. B. Hixon, A. Cameron, jr., F. McD. c. Robertson.

Chicago, Jan. liza special to the
Record from Ortiz, Mexico, says:
Small bands OF Yaqui Indians have
become very annoying to the Mexican
troops during the last few days and
frequent skirmishes have occurred. A
few nights ago 100 Indians boldly rode
into the corral and stampeded over 200
horses belonging TO the troops. The In
dams afterward captured the animals
for their own use. 1t is almost impos-
sible to get supplies to the troops, ow-
ing TO the Yaquis' guerrilla tactics.
Gen. Torres men are living on the coun-
try and there are times when they
must suffer severely for lack Of food.
Americans who have come from the
Yaqui country say the troops have
made no Roadway toward putting down
the rebellion.
