The last meeting of the Harvard Union this year will be held this evening in Sever 11, and in place of the usual debate, a convention, in which the leading candidates for the presidency will be nominated, is announced. The following named gentlemen will nominate in ten-minute speeches the candidates set after their names :
G. H. Eaton. L. S., Edmunds ; Sherman Hoar, L. S., Cleveland ; W. A. Pew. L. S., Fairchild ; H. M. Sewall, L. S., Carlisle ; H. E. Barnes, '84, Grant ; S. M. Hayes, '84, Arthur ; E. A. Hibbard, '84, Bayard ; B. B. Ramage, '84, Tilden ; E. T. Sanford, '85, Hawley ; J. M. Merriam, '86, Sherman ; W. B. Scofield, '87, Blaine. After these nominations have been made, five-minute speeches in favor of new candidates, or in support of those already presented will be in order. After all the nominations have been made, the result of the Union university canvass, which has been in progress during the past fortnight for first and second choice for presidential candidates will be announced. For purposes of comparison the result of the canvass in February 1880 will be announced at the same time. The meeting will undoubtedly be of much interest and a large attendance is expected.
