One item Of local interest ought to
be mentioned. The synod from the
time OF the first nominating speech
was characterized with a happy spir-
it-and they went on record so to
speak, to pay no attention to what
happened on the streets and trusted
that the matter might be dropped
since all were college boys and en-
joyed the fun. The different pulpits
in the city were supplied Sabbath
morning by the visiting ministers, and
a mass meeting in the interest of
temperance was arranged for Sab
bath evening with four short, terse
addresses.
