Republican Club.

In Sanders Theatre this evening, the Harvard Republican Club will hold its second meeting. Ex-Gov. John D. Long will preside, and Senator J. R. Hawley of Connecticut will speak on the tarriff. Gov. Long is too well known, to need any introduction, but some words about Senator Hawley may not be out of place. He was graduated in 1847, from Hamilton College, New York, and three years later was admitted to the bar in Connecticut. In 1866, he was elected Governor of Connecticut, and since then he has held many high public offices. In 1872, he entered the House of Representatives. In 1881, he was elected a senator, and was re-elected in '87. By his fluency and power of argument, he has won for himself the distinction of being one of the best speakers in Congress, and it will be well worth one's while, to hear him this evening.
