...voters or not and it is to be hoped that the students by making a change this year and marching in the Cleveland and Hendricks procession (which is not to be Democratic, but made up of Democrats and independent Republicans alike) will do their best to strike a blow at official corruption and show disapprobation of the present course of the Republican party. It may at least tend to show the party leaders what to expect from this large body of men who will nearly all be voters when the next Presidential nominations are made, and who will extend their...
...ridiculous. Beef alone is not superior to meal, beans or other farmaceous food, and the size of the muscles of a man is not indicative of his strength. Farinanceous food tones a man down and will tend to give him more endurance. A man who can strike a blow equal to 400 pounds would be called a strong man, but this strength cannot be kept up for any length of time on animal food, as it comes from the base of the brain, and endurance must be sought for in other kinds of food.

A little close fighting followed and the round ended quietly, much in Bradley's favor...
...seemed somewhat tired from his former bout, but did most of the leading and kept Colony on the defence most of the time. The latter, however, proved himself the better in close fighting. The second round was hotly contested, Woodbury tried several times to hit Colony a round-arm blow, but almost every time just missed him, while the latter got in some good blows. This round was decidedly in favor of Colony. In the final round there was some very pretty fighting. Woodbury seemed, for a few moments, to have recovered himself, but it was not for long. Again...
