Presidential candidates of today were
lust getting a start IN life When tne
political spotlight shone upon the
| rugged features and massive body OF
Grover Cleveland, anti-Tammany, re-
form Governor Of New York.
Cleveland led the Democrats out OF
a wilderness of defeat that had en-
dured % years by beating James q:
Blaine of Maine. the "plumed knight,
in the 1884 presidential race.
Appearing on the G. o. P. horizon
were two men destined to play tre-
mendously important roles in national
affairs. They were the young reform
err of New York City, Theodore Roose-
welt. and the likewise youthful, yellow
bearded Henry Cabot Lodge OF MaSsa-
chusettS.
Enthusiastic Convention.
The Republicans nominated Blaine
"amid a perfect hurricane of unclaimed
enthusiasm" one frenZied galleryite
climbing out on a ceiling girder and
seizing a flag in his teeth, waved 1t high
above the cheering convention multi
tude.
Young Roosevelt opposed the nomi-
nation, and after Blaine'S victory the
I press ILOOSSNClG 1NCAo wy oe'NA
and is going to Dakota to become a
cowboy"
Cleveland, easily nominated, also won
the election after a bitter campaign.
The Republican platform of 1884 called
for a high protective tariff, interna-
tional bimetallism, the regulation OF
interstate tariff and the upbuilding Of
the Navy. The Democrats denounced
the tariff, pledged Civil Service reform
and reduction Of taxes.
Coolidge Just Boy.
Lily Langtry and Mary Anderson
were stage favoriteS of the period, and a
boy named Calvin Coolidge was toiling
on his fathers tiny farm at Plymouth,
VT. Franklin D. Roosevelt, now can
didate for the Democratic presidential
nomination, was 2-year-old baby In
New York City when Cleveland was
elected.
Preceding Cleveland had been James
A. Garfield of Ohio, erstwhile carpen-
ter, who had defeated Gen. Winfield S.
Hancock of Pennsylvania by a mere
1000 popular votes.
Railways Being Expanded.
This was the era of rapid railway
expansion and commercial develop
ment. Nine out of 10 stocks listed on
the New York Exchange were railroad
shares. Jay Gould was the terror OF
Wall Street"
The smooth-face candidates of to-
day would have seemed lacking in he
man" qualities to the bearded voters
in 1888 The "big bristled boys" were
considered men of strength and sub
stance. A smooth face was well nigh
effeminate.
Big Tariff Fight.
The 1883 campaign was principally
a tariff fight. Cleveland was nomi-
mated as a tariff reform advocate, while
the G. o. P. nominated Benjamin Har-
rison Of Indiana on strong protector
platform.
Harrison was elected with the elec-
toral vote 233 to 168, although Cleve.
land received a popular plurality OF
$4,000 votes Both houses were Re-
publican, and the Mckinley tariff bill
raising duties about so per cent, wa
enacted.
Prohibition Party Gains.
The Prohibition party, gaining
steadily in adherents, held its nationa
convention at Indianapolis with Fran
ces Willard, the founder of the Wom
ems Christian Temperance Union, tn,
heroine of the meeting. A news stor.
of the convention carried the caption

HARVARD FAILURES
NOT LAID TO CASEY
Coach in No Way Is Blamed
for Foot Ball Losses by
Crimson Followers.
YEw YORK, November 23.-

"a YEw YORK, November 49,
nj Harvard men who have been
" close to the foot ball situation
at Cambridge this season make
not the slightest criticism of Eddie
Casey's coaching.
They hold th-t Casey and his assist
ants are highly qualified coaches and
that they did everything in their power
to instill foot ball knowledge into a
group of players whose magnificent
physique was out of all proportion to
their ability to grasp those finer points
of offense and defense-particularl
defense-which an outfit must acquire
If it is to get by.
There is a suspicion in some quarters
that those 1872 points, as against 20
for opponents, rolled up in the first
four games Of the season created a
mental mood in the team which. when
adversity came swiftly, developed into
a mellow and distraught state of mind
from which the players could not be
extricated.
Whatever the cause, however. the
fact remains that from the Brown
game on, the eleven displayed SUBJ
normal intelligence which, in the Army
and Yale contests especially. made them
ripe victims for almost any play whose
ultimate purpose was not Immediately
disclosed.
Eddie Casey's competent work as
head coach of freshman elevens under
the Horween regime, the skill with
which he handled the Crimson varsity
by Harvard men who know the condi-
tions under which the coach worked
this year as sufficient evidence that the
disasters of 1882 do not warrant the
immediate conduct CT Eddie and his

Loyola Stronger
For C.. L. Contest

BALTIMORE, November 23.-The
rain and mud of last Saturday may
not have been good for some foot ball
teams, but it really has helped Loy-
ola College quite a lot.
1t gave the Greyhounds a chance
to get all injured players in top
form for the big game with Catholic
University in Washington on Satur-
day.
Then, too, it permitted Tony Com
erford. Loyola coach, more time to
drill Chris Kamka in the intricacies
OF the quarterback job, which role he
will play against C. U.
Kamka played fullback at City
College and was listed as one out at
Evergreen, but he showed Comerford
enough to warrant getting trial at
quarter, and now that's the job he
will hold down.
This move finds Vince Carlin
going back to his halfback job.
