NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The Sound Money Democratic Club held an enthusiastic mass meeting in Lower Mass. last evening, attended by about two hundred men. President Dobyns called the meeting to order and stated as the object of the meeting the indorsement of the platform and the candidates of the Indianapolis Convention. After the platform had been read by the secretary, F. A. Burlingame, resolutions strongly commending the Indianapolis platform and candidates were read by Wirt Howe, 1L. and were unanimously adopted. W. Denman, 3 L., on behalf of the committee appointed to draw up resolutions on the death of ex-Governor Russell, presented the following, which were adopted by a rising vote:

"We, the members of the Harvard Democratic Club, reassembled at the beginning of the new year, take this first opportunity of expressing our heartfelt sorrow at the death of William E. Russell, of the class of '77.

The Commonwealth has lost her faithful public servant, her brilliant and lovablecitizen. The nation mourns the great leader, upon whose worth she seemed willing soon to bestow her highest honors. Ours is yet a keener, a deeper sorrow; for to us he was as an elder brother; a wiser, stronger, more mature brother, more worn of the world, yet still young with us in his persistent loyalty to the lofty ideals of our Alma Mater.

To that true Democracy for which he fought in life and in behalf of which his last supreme effort was made, we, inspired by his noble example, pledge ourselves anew.

Short speeches were made by Mr. Cecil F. Bacon of Williams, C. Grilk '98, W. Coleman 2 L., F. Dobyns '98, and S. Kennedy '97.

President Dobyns announced that recently at Indianapolis a national league of College Democratic Sound Money Clubs was formed. As the time before election is so short, no active work will be done before election; but early next spring it is intended to have a convention of the associated clubs.
