This brought Mr. Storey to his final proposition namely the possibility of the vast number of the better class of both Democrats and Republicans, who agrees in the main of holding independent conventions to protest against the candidates of the party before country principle. Such action, he said, alone would defeat the nomination of insignificant and corrupt men in place of the men of ability and high principle. Unless some such action as this shall be taken in New York there is but little doubt but that the influence of Hillism and Tammany will defeat Mr. Cleveland's nomination...
...seems a little futile to protest against a nuisance of such long and honorable standing as the inadequacy of the bathing facilities at the gymnasium. But the absurdity of the spectacle daily presented at the gymnasium is so great and the need of improvements so crying that if some one does not speak for them they will soon speak for themselves, which would probably be unpleasant. Every day about three hundred men try to get satisfactory baths by the use of six set tubs, nine soapstone sinks, four faucets and a cold shower-bath. These accommodations are insufficient...
...receipt of a communication in which the writer protests against the presence of so many "muckers" on Jarvis Field during the 'varsity foot ball games. This matter certainly deserves the attention of the 'varsity manager. With all the police protection around Jarvis Field during the games it does seem strange that the "muckers" cannot be kept out.

In the 220 and 100 yds. courses are to be marked by stakes and cords, and in the longer races a competitor may change to inside when he is two strides ahead...
...game yesterday? He has been playing on the 'varsity nine very frequently this year; has received a uniform for the 'varsity; has been eating at the 'varsity training table; and on Monday occupied the 'varsity bench as a regular substitute in the game. I understand that the protest against him by the junior captain was not allowed. In view of these circumstances it would be interesting to know why not. It would prevent much misunderstanding and perhaps some hard feeling if Captain Dean would enlighten...
