COMMUNICATIONS.

Editors of HARVARD DAILY CRIMSON.-I saw a communication in Tuesday's issue signed "F., '86," that stated a position that I should like to see every college student take, but hardly gave sufficient reason for it. We may go on a spree, but do not let us, allow the world to know it. If your space has not been already too much occupied with the procession question would you grant me a little now? If '87 and '88, as they undoubtedly will, decide to carry a transparency bearing the result of the canvass in their class, it is the duty of every man who voted for Cleveland to go in the Blaine procession, paradoxical as this may seem. Those men who voted for neither procession, probably did so on account of perhaps a physical disability, but it is fair to suppose that he who voted for the Cleveland procession meant, and wished to go in that. Therefore as their dignity in a political sense is fully upheld by the vote recorded on the transparency, and inasmuch as they want to go in a procession, it is their duty, in order to gratify their fellow students, to march with the Republicans. Let them go with the Democrats unofficially also. This assuredly applies to the Law School, but of course no article on the subject could influence such an august body of men. However, let them keep silent in regard to the position of others. I repeat, it is the duty of every man who voted for a procession, and thereby showed his willingness for one, to oblige his fellow students by marching with them on October 30th.

A DEMOCRAT, '86.
