There will be over two hundred and thirty del­egates in attendance, and if present indications areany criterion, the convention will be one of. the mostinteresting and instructive affairs which the studentbody has ever attempted to carry out. There are tobe three sessions, to be held on Friday afternoon andevening and Saturday forenoon. Of course the prin­cipal work for the distinguished body of men to transact will be the election of a permanent chairman, thenomination of a candidate for President, and the adop­tion of a money plank ill the platform. Several menare mentioned as candidates for presiding officer of theconvention, and a great fight for the office is tookedfor. As to the possible nomination for the presidencyit may be said that the honor will probably go toeither ex-Governor Russell of Massachusetts, ex­Governor Pattison of Pennsylvania, Secretary Carlisleof Kentucky, Governor Matthews of Indiana, or Pres­ident Cleveland. There is much doubt as to whatposition the convention will take on the money ques­tion, but if the present intention of the promoters ofthe convention is carried out, the stand on money willreflect as far as possible the actual position of theDemocratic party in the different states. And it mayalso be said in this connection that the conven tionwill, if possible, try to nominate the man for Presidentwhom the Democrats will nominate in their nationalconvention.The national committee consists of Messrs. J. P.Whyte, W. H. Allen, V. O. Johnson, A. E. McKin· ley, M. P. Frutchey, W. O. Wilson, W. T. Wilson,B. B. Barker, and J. P.

It is very probable that the com­mittee will not be united on a single man, so a major­ity and a minority report is looked for.From present indications Mr. Tunell, of Minnesota,seems to be the man that the sound money contingencywill unite on for permanent chairman. An attemptmay be made to obtain the office for one of the othercandidates by fomenting a feeling against Mr. Tunellon account of his being a graduate student. On theother hand, his chances are so good and his interestsare so well managed that such a feeling could be putdown at the start. He is being pushed for the posi­tion by Mr. W. H. Allen, who was in the minds ofmany an exceedingly good man for the office himself,but he declared his unwillingness to enter the raceand determined to throw all his influence in for Mr.Tunell.James, P. Whyte is in the field, but in just whatpart it is hard to tell. It is possible that he hasplans of his own which in the end may do him somegood.It was generally supposed that the chairman wouldappoint the various committees and this caused all themore interest and intrigue in selecting the man. Atthis writing, however, it is found that the presidingofficer will have no such power and that the commit­tees will be appointed by the States.There is some talk ill the West of supporting Gov­ernor Pennoyer, of Oregon, for president, two or threeStates having signified their desire to unite on the'man.The free silverites will stand by Boies to the endand it is very probable that Bryan will be put insecond place.For the gold men, Russell and Carlisle are in the raceand no doubt' Russell will be an easy first.

Adkinson, J. W.Lynn.NOTES ON THE CONVEN.TION ..One of the first and most interesting-incidents of thestate conventions occurred in that of New York. L.Brent Vaughan, an Ohio man, was appointed to workup a New York delegation and supposed that hewould be, made chairman in reward for his efforts.When the delegates assembled it was found that an­(jtli�r party had been at work and Mr. Squires waselected chairman of the delegation before Vaughancould comprehend what had happened. According torule two, which says that residents of the states havethe preference in filling out the delegations, it was aquestion whether Vaughan could even get on theNew York delegation, but' if reports aretrue he hassucceeded i� getting a place. It is announced alsot-hat he.is a candidate for' permanent chairman of theconvention but as he can rely upon no support fromNew York, whose Notes are pledged for other candi­dates in return for promised favors, the outlook forMr. Vaughan is not promising., The' Iowa delegation is instructed. to 'support Boiesand free silver. The Kentucky men' have been atwork trying to split the Iowans' for Carlisle and sound�oney' but entirely without success.The free silver candidate is Mr. V. O. Johnson, ofN ebraska. _ If they can. contr�l the convention, Mr.Johnson 'will be the 'chairman; as they have no othercandidate in the field and will suppo-rt him to a man.Mr. Lovett, the chairman of the Iowa. delegation, isworking hard for Mr: Johnson. But the chances arethat the gold men will be too' strong and then thequestion is, if it comes to balloting on two soundmoney men, who willget the fre,e silver vote?Mr. Ickes of Pennsylvania, who is chairman of thedelegation f�om, that -state, is a candidate for p�r­manent chairman. If the presiding officer should beelected by ballot in the convention Mr. .Ickes would110 doubt receive the 'vote ,of his state on the first andsecond ballots,' but as the nominations are to be madeby the committee on permanent organization, his The Response of an Abused Girl.The flash of a fleeting wit;The sound of an injured bawl,And a plaintive lay, that seems to savIt isn't fair, at all !And truth, 'tis an awful shameHis little wishes to thwart,Yet every day, why shouldn't we play,Why shouldn't we have the conrt?We want to be worshiped, of course.But the poor men mnstn't forgetThat they net the profits; we've paid our dues,Our profit is in the net.Poor man, Lhate to be rude,And yet I must needs retort-You've a right to abuse, you can have your views,But we'll have the tennis court!UNNERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY."A Trtp South.LETTER VI.The country west of Memphis impresses a travelerwith unlimited possibilities for two things-cottonand malaria. Perhaps we should add a third item­pickininnies. It is only here and there, however, thatKing Cotton has cleared away the dense and magnifi­cent forests and made for himself a domain of thoselevel, alluvial acres. Perhaps with secure levees con­fining the Mississippi, with the disappearance of theforests and the consequent dissipation of the fcetidpools, malaria, like Longfellow's Arabs, will silentlysteal away. At present, however, in large areas, thesolitude is unbroken save by a habitation of the NewGuinea type of architecture, a, cabin on piles, like adove cote on a pole. So level is the country that onecan see a locomotive headlight for twenty-two miles.My informant, a fellow passenger, was a newspaperman. ,I suggested the desirability of stating the dis­tance in a round number, say twenty miles. But withcharacteristic devotion 'to the truth, he insisted upontwenty-two.We crossed the easy-going Mississippi upon a$3,500,000 bridge, and were in Memphis, the world'sgreatest inland cotton market. Immense warehousescover areas, after the fashion of northern ice houses.Eight large mills produce cottonseed oil. Memphis isthe center of a very fertile country. The SouthernPresbyterian convention was in session, but the exi­gencies of travel permitted only a view of the inspir­ing audience, the enjoyment of a beautiful and sug­gestive alto solo, " Rest for the Weary," and theeloquent exordium of a sermon.From Memphis to the Kentucky blue grass countryone passes through West Tennessee. You will notethat Tennessee, like all 'Gaul. is divided into threeparts.' These divisions, East, Middle and West, arerecognized by the constitution in the appointment ofsupreme court judges. East Tennessee we may desig­nate as Knoxville ,and the mountains. Middle, �sNashville and the blue grass country, West, as Mern-.phis and the Mississippi slope. Now the western sec­tion grows the staple southern products. At thistime tobacco is being transplanted from its netting­covered bed to the open field. This tobacco, by theway, is not the gentle Cuban variety, whose delicatearoma perfumes the evening air. Indeed, it is not forhome consumption, but for the foreign trade. It isthe black, herculean, glue-factory abomination drawnthrough a chibouk by the stolid Turk, the odorousstuff whose fumes, by way of Nemesis, assail us fromthe immigrant car. 'In Southern Kentucky, where the blue grass coun­try gives way to the" pennyrile," is the old city ofRussellville, the seat of Bethel College. A studentcalled' my attention to three knobs standing about the 921.city. "Kentucky has many knobs," said he. Of,course I asked him how he spelled knobs. That leadsme to remark upon the importance attached here to­family. Everyone of consequence in Kentucky hasancestors; not in the distant sense which led MarkTwain to weep at the reputed grave of Adam, but inthe definite sense of a family tree standing clean cutagainst the colonial skies. Kentucky was settled atan early day from Virginia, and rivers and mountainshave so hedged in the blue grass country that the de­velopment of old and noble families has been possible.The F. F. V. themselves (First Families of Virginia,gentle reader) do not prize their blood more highlythan do the old families of this state. And they aredelightful people to' meet, hospitable, cultured, andtalented. Bnt-the most royal cradle ever on Ken­tucky soil was the cradle sheltered by a cabin home,the cradle in which the humble wife of a frontiersmanrocked the peerless American-Abraham Lincoln.But I must return to.my text. I fear that I havebeen illustrating the facetious definition of a text as" a point of departure." I was speaking about Rus­sellville, and Bethel College. This honored- Baptistcollege dates from r854. It has been graduating meninto usefulness ever since, �ith the exception of acouple of years in the early sixties when; I believesome difficulty was experienced in carrying on theregular work of the college while the confederatetroops used the building for a hospital. To-day thecollege has two hundred students and is under thepresidency of a most charming and able man, Dr. W.S. Ryland.There is an interesting story connected with thepresent library building. It was formerly a bank:'One day the James brothers and some of their im­mediate friends called hurriedly at the bank· without,giving their notes they drew heavily' on' the 'deposits, 'left some bullet marks on the walls and departed.The curious thing is this: they robbed the bankowned by the man who had furnished their fatherwith clothes and money while he, Mr. James, was amiuisterial student in a Kentucky college. _At Louisville it was our privilege to visit briefly a,medical school. These" medics" are royal fellows'.They are not, however, very quiet' or lan�blike. The'reception which the dentals gave a favorite professoralmost led us to believe that they were a free silver'mass meeting and the professor the orator of theoccasion. We saw but little of Louisville, sufficientto lead us to conclude that it was a fine old city., From thence our journey was eastward to, Lexingtonand the famous group of colleges in the heart of thebl ue grass coun try. .

The moral effect of the tour has beento point out to the Eastern colleges that the time haspassed by when supremacy in any branch of athleticscan be with certainty confined to any particular lo­cality. The showing made by the team ill four of thecontests was fully up to the Eastern standard. Withthis, taking into consideration the effect which a longand wearisome journey must have had on the team,we have reasons to congratulate ourselves over thefinal results.As to the game with Yale, comparison has no place.It was nothing more nor less than a complete fiascoand bore no semblance to the national sport. Thegame with the Orange Athletic Club belonged to us fore, everybody tries to make the convention a seriousmatter it will certainly reflect credit on all who takepart.2 50 The fact that the WEEKLY hasTHE TlME8-HERALD'8UNKIND CUT. recently opened its columns to afew public men who are now hav­ing influence with the masses, but with whose viewsUniversity men as a rule disagree, has attracted wideattention. Comment has been both adverse and com­mendatory. The recent articles by W. J. Bryan andJ. S. Coxey have been especially commented upon.The Inter Ocean, for example, with free-silver lean­ings, congratulates the WEEKLY on its candor andenterprise. The Times-Herald, which stands unequiv­ocally for a gold standard, has this to say in its edi­torial columns:The UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WJ:£EKLY is a queer kind of acollege paper. Instead of confining itself to university mat­ters it allows prominent cranks to a ir their alleged views in itscolumns. In the last number J. S. Coxey, the commonwealer,writes the leading article, which is devoted to an argument insupport of his unique and fantastic financial theories.Perhaps a word or two in regard to the above criti­cism may be in place. The WEEKLY does not admitthe necessity of being conducted on purely conven­tional lines. While it always stands ready to printevery worthy contribution from the students and givesand was so conceded by the members of the Orange \ such matter preference over anything that comes fromteam. The game with Harvard was a close contest the outside, yet- as the student organ of a cosmopol­and a hit more or an error less would have reversed itan institution, it does not conceive its field to be re­the final score, stricted to these alone .. All things which concern theUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKL Y.nation and the people are, in its opinion, ",Universitymatters."The WEEKLY is further criticized for "allowingprominent cranks to air their alleged views in its col­umns." It is the mistaken notion of some that thisUniversity is a place where freedom of thought andspeech upon certain national questions is restricted.N othing is farther from the truth. The freest discus­sion on every side is not only permitted, but desired.Furthermore, these "prominent cranks" are thevery men that are having a tremendous influence to­day with the masses, and in this country one man'svote counts as much as another's. The great troubleand danger with University men is that they fail to�n(lerstand and appreciate the point of view andmethods of these men who are to-day swaying the scholarship are prime necessities of its safe founda­tion.A university, even when regarded merely as a seatof learning, a collection of buildings in which recita­tions are conducted, is doubtless a very attractiveplace. But surely such an institution is not one thatcan satisfy American ideals., of college life. There issomething lacking, and that something is a strongcollege spirit. This it is, which can invest withpoetic charm every stone and tree on the campus;this it is which casts a warm glow over students' livesand makes the student years the happiest periods Inthe careers of the men and women who are collegegraduates. Our present years; should be so spentthat when we go out into the larger fields beyond thecollege there will be an affection in our hearts for theminds of the people. Contempt for their ideas and Alma Mater that none of the troubles and turmoilsarguments incapacitates college men for counteract­ing their misguided and pernicious (if they be per­nicious) influence We want to hear what they haveto sa_Y. We cannot afford to ignore them. If theyhave truth, let us have it. If they have error, let usat least understand their position well enough to beable _intelligently and successfully to oppose and over­throw it. -For this purpose the WEEKLY has for themoment stepped outside of its own more particularfield ..It i� safe to presume, however, that the criticism ofthe Times-Herald is prompted not so much by thefact that the WEEKLY has adopted the somewhatunique or "queer" feature in college journalism, asthe fact that the sentiments in the last two articles re­ferred to chanced to be directly opposed to the teach­ings of that estimable journal.The thanks of the colleges should beextended to the President of Junior DayJUNIOR DAY.and to his committees for the able and satisfactorymanner in which they have planned the great celebra- that we will suffer in after years will ever efface.

This convention being a democratic conventionshould reflect democratic sentiment. A gold delegatefrom a silver state is as inconsistent as a republicandelegate at a democratic convention. The object isnot to poll the sentiment of the University.2. This convention is an opportunity for the stu­dent body of our University to make its protesttion. ,All indications are favorable and the present against the vagaries of Populism. Its sound standcondition of the arrangements points to a day success­ful in every way.This year's celebration of Junior Day should markan epoch in the history of our college. It shouldbegin a new era in the development of our Univer­sity and of an enthusiastic university spirit. Ahealthy and vigorous college spirit is just as essentialto the beauty and symmetry of the college superstruc­ture as liberal endowments and broad and varied for a sound currency is a great factor for good-wecannot afford to waste the opportunity.

Concert of the Universtty Chorus .Tuesday evening, June 9, is a date that every loverof music in the University should set aside to attendthe annual concert of the University chorus. Inprevious years thechorus has given aconcert each quar­ter, generally withthe assistance of theGlee Club and otherorganizations. Thehigh character ofits work is shownin the selectionsrendered, am 0 n gwhich are:" SpringGreeting," Gade;MR. BERNHARD LISTB;MANN. "The Heavens areTelling,'" from"Creation,;' Haydn; "Two Lovers," Hecht; "Andthe Glory of the Lord" and "Hallelujah Chorus,"from " Messiah," Handel; "Holy, holy, holy," from, , St. Cecelia," Gounod.This year a new departure has been made andthe chorus has spent some eight months practicing amuch more extensive selection, which it is now readyto present before the public in an annual concert.Mendelssohn's" Hymn of Praise," the piece in ques­tion, has never been rendered in Chicago, so far aswe are aware, except at the World's Fair by theApollo Club. It is a most noble work, characterizedby great dignity and grandeur, and worthy of thebest efforts of the ablest choral societies. It willform the chief feature of the program.This will be the first production at the Universityof a concerted work. Success is practically assuredby the amount of practice that has been put upon itby the chorus. Those who love music have anopportunity to enjoy a good concert, and those whodesire the development of music in the institutionhave a chance to show their interest and appreciation.A Neighbor's Opinion.The UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY, publishedby the students of the University, throughout the en­tire year, is considered one of the best college papersin the country.

Owing to the heavyhitting on both sides, however, there were a goodmany exceptionally brilliant plays. For Chicago theout-fielders played well and several times by theirquick work pulled down balls which looked good for 925several bases. Herschberger especially distinguishedhimself by a brilliant catch of a long fly in the firstinning, and a home run in the .second.___:Yale Record.Inter-Collegiate 'Friendship.The idea that rivals can be other than frierids hasbeen recently illustrated by the University of Michi­gan Daily in a brief editorial wishing success to theball team of Chicago University on its eastern trip.The act may seem insignificant of itself, but when weconsider the keen rivalry between the two schools andthe too often appearing bitter partisanship whichexists between such rivals in many other cases.i wemust feel that two of the leading western universitiesare setting an example that could be well foll�wed byothers. Friendly competition lends energy to anyline of work. Bitter partisanship must eventuallyresult in retrogression. It is in the field of athleticslargely that the former can be brought about, as therepresentatives from various institutions are broughtinto a more intimate acquaintance with each otherand learn to recognize each other's worth. It is thisbroadening of acquaintance and friendship that can beurged as one of the strongest general reasons for themaintenance of intercollegiate contests.--Beloit RoundTable.Inter-Scholastic Tennis Tournament.'The U. of C. interscholastic tennis tournament insingles closed Monday afternoon.

VllYour Summer Vacation.With the advent of the heated termcomes the necessity for relaxation onthe part of all whose minds are deeplyengrossed from one year's end to theother. The ambitious strife of the citycauses exhaustive drains upon themental and physical resources of men,and it is singular that more do not seethe necessity for rest.But where can this be obtained? Thetime occupied in lying around in a ham­mock, or loafing on the veranda of somebusy hotel, does not refresh the mind orstrengthen the body. The proper relax­ation is to enter into the delights of pis­catorial pastime, hunting, boating, orsome other occupation that will brushaway the cobwebs from the musty cham­bers of the intellect.And then the busy housewife and thechildren need the change of air andscenery. Not all families can afford themore expensive outings that involve avisit to some far away resort, but theGoodrich Line, with its magnificentsteamships, offers all the opportunity ofa pleasant, healthful trip at very moder­ate expense. In fact, it is cheaper tomake a trip on this line to any of theresorts on Lake Michigan, than to re­main at home.
