W. Tracy, General Secretary A. B. Humphrey of Illinois. General Russell A.

Alger of Michigan, General D. H. Hastings of Pennsylvania. ex-Senator Spooner of Wisconsin, the Hon. John W.

Thurston of Omaha, and a score of other representative members of the republican party. The theater had been handsomely decorated fir the occasion with the Stars and Strip.es. After prayer had been offered. Secretary A. H.

Humphrey read the call for the gathering and called the roll of states, every state ami territory in the KJnion being represented. Frank Gondy, president of the Colo-fado Slate league, welcomed the delegates. He said: "This fall we will redeem our fair young sta.te from the 'fcurse and folly of populism. Do not Judge us by the wild and vicious utterances of our sanguinary executive, our to-called "blood to the bridles," boisterous, profane, turbulent, visionary, ill-tempered, inordinately ambitious, malicious and militia governor, who though river 60 years of age, and always able-ibodied, never struck a blow nor fired a phell, nor did any substantial act in behalf of his country, or in behalf of any of the many states in which he has resided or tarried, or in which he has fcieen the friend of labor for vote getting purposes only. His disgraceful antics ere mistaken by some people for statesmanship, on the same principle that pimp people mistake biliousness for righteousness.

He has afforded you nmusement, but he brought us contempt, sorrow, shame and loss of credit, Bud has helped to drive capital from our midst and has done labor immeasurable harm, Colorado republicans, in welcoming Vim. wish to state that we are convinced that the republican party is the only one that has the patriotism and the ability to solve questions of a national character such as the all important and burning monetary questions, and we are satisfied thnt it will solve the question of bimetallism by restoring silver to its true position side by side with gold, thereby strengthening the metallic bass of our currency and thereby increasing and broadening the supply of money of ultimate redemption. After the appointment of committees resident Tracy delivered his annual ad-tnual address. He said that while all the recent elections had bcn showing constantly increasing republican plural-Sties the party must not be lulled into seeming security by these successes. Although wonderfully lacking in statesmanship, the, leaders of the democratic party are replete with political cunning nnd "shrewdness.

To insure victory the party must prepare to meet organization With organization. The national republican league has no Idesire to assume control of party machinery. It appals to the intelligence and patriotism of the American people, and through the establishment of a club in every town, seeks to advocate and promote republican principles. It is only through united and intelligent effort of our best citizens that good government can be assured. The speaker said that when the democratic party returned to complete power in it found a nation at the zenith of prosperity.

The democratic party has had but one year of administration. In that brief period the fear iif democratic statesmanship and democratic legislation has closed workshops, and brought starvation and desolation to thousands of homes. Speaking of the tariff policy of the democratic party Mr. Tracy said the lull now before the Senate was neither a. free trade nor a protection bill, but has been framed by the southern wing of the democratic party, to demoralize fiii destroy )hc interests of the North.

The republican party stands to-day, as it has always slo.id, for those prin ciples wnicn develop and promote American industries and at the same time offer protection to American labor. To us. as young re-publicans, is consigned the task of preserving the escutcheon of the republican party as clear and spotless as when handed down bv the immortal leaders. Lincoln. Grant and Garfield.

The leaders who have so long find so successfully fought the battle of the republican party, must soon Five placf- to younger men; let us prepare to assume the responsibilities of leadership while we may yet have their pounsel and advice.

Since we first entered college we have found the latch and Ihe key on the outside of your doors; for these courtesies and for this unbounded hospitality, in the name, of Ninety-four I thank you most sincerely. And when we recall, as we often wlU, the happy days of our college life, you, citizens of Hurl ford, who have ismtrth-uled so much to the happiness of thosi daja, will always have a large corner lu our heaits. 11 To y.ui.

friends of the ddkge, we ani de-ply grateful for the benefits yoil have confened iikin us (and they are known to lie many) and fr the advantages) which you hae given us (and they are know to le greait) and we esteem y.nt for the ties of nffection (and they tire nnd enduring) which hava ever IkmukI yon to our Alma Mater. Fellow collegians, be-doy we resign our piace and responsibilities in this college world to you. 1 not. taku ns for your example in the the perform-nno of your (luties. except In.

so far as we have bad the welfare and prosperity of our Alma Mater at heart. Tt her Interests lie your Interests. Let her honor be your honor. And "although she smm.ll, tne great 'el-a(er om seid of loartmourh, "there are thos who love her." Then do not you wound the hearts of thosa who love our Alma by the disregard of your many duties and obligations to her. Although the gold and blue will not float at the top of that graceful staff, yet, when you look upon, the Stars and Striis, picture to yourself, the gold and blue, albeit as floating beneath the national emblem, and let your loyalty be as warm to the one a.s to the oilier.

And now my classmates, thre a.r but a few more days left us within tha walls of our Alma Mater. Let us be thankful to them who made the human mind that the few hardships and sorrows which we have experienced here, although they can never tie erased, will always be overshadowed by the many pleasures and joys, in which we have been sharers during the four happy years of our college life. Let us endeavor by our work in the world to show our appreciation of the many benefits which the masters and friends ot old Trinity have conferred upon us. And now my friends since even the Bronze Bishop Is waving me down I will give plai'e to those who have more interesting matter for your ears. The History.

Charl-s Frederick Weed, of New Hampshire read the history of the class. Mr. Weed amusingly referred to tha experiments of the class as hazers and the hazed and closed with a light paraphrase on Shakespeare: "Our college course which now is nearly o'er Must be divided into stages four. At first, the freshman. Rowing and scraping to the seniors not The conceited sophomore with his cane-Next the proud junior.

The canal had many enemies, but the freshets and the nmsknits were the greatest of these. Time and again tnuskrats burrowd through the canal's enibankuii nt and otM-ned a sluice which grew and grew until the canal emptied itself through it. On one occasion, at a point near Hollywood Cemetery in this city, the oieratliflis of muskra.ts caused a damage amounting lo thousands of dollars and a ienqrary stoppage of traffic on that water way which oiir fathers designed lo be the cnn-nierice-bearer IxMweeii the Atlantic seab-ard and the i hio alle-.
