New York, but the regulations OF the
Harvard athletic committee are against
allowing the team TO compete on other
than college grounds. IL is true that this
rule is broken in the case of the deciding
game between Harvard and Yale in base
ball. but il must be remembered that this
comes after the closing of the college

A Candidates stuuiditx,

The same sort OF drivel that Bryan
got off at his old home at Salem. Illinois,
last week, about the contemplated cor
ruEtion OF the voters by the managers
OF the Republican campaign, has been
given extensive circulation In this state,

voters are being dumped Into West Vir-
glnia to aid the Republican party In
smothering Organism and McGrawism

is more; 1t is the dying gasp of the
Democracy Of the nation and the state.
The New York Times hits off Bryan's
Salem speech very happily. 1t was on
that occasion that Mr.. Bryan said that
IF the election were held to-day there
is no doubt that we would have ma
jority in the electoral college. and In the
popular vote. But the Republican MAN.
ayers are now collecting from the
monopolies q large campaign fund.
They will buy every vote that can BE-

that can be cocrccd. They will intimi-
date every laborins man who can be In
Inundated. They will bride every cleo
tIon judge who can be bribed. They
viii corrupt every count that can be

Times says:

President Cleveland. We do not con-
denim Cleveland for doing this. on the
contrary, he Is to be commended for his
action. But Debs and Altgeld disagreed
with him. and also disagreed with the
courts that sought to protect private
property from wanton destruction.
Debs and Altgeld went hand in hand.
