Kepublican Club at the Kink next Tuesday evening, explains that gentleman's poeition relative to the importánce of the undertaking and wdl be read with interest: Hot Springs, Ark., MaY 3, '92. Mr. J. E. Beal, President Michigan Press Ass'n, Aun Arbor, Mich. My dear Sir: - I ara just now able to take up my correspondence, and among the first letters I will answer, Is jour kind cominunication of April lfith. I have to-day written a letter to Mr. Jas. F. Burke, president of the University Club, in which I have answered all the questions contained in your letter, and as I have not the strength to write very much, I will ask you to kindly nee that letter. I have telegraphed Capt. Allen, and he lias agreed to be at the banquet as the representative of the Xational eomniittee and the National League. It is a matter of great regret to me that I cannot be present also. I would rather attend that session than anything else to which I could be invited, because I have such an intense interest in the formation of college clubs. We have not been getting, in the republican party, our share of the young men of the country. If the young men in the colleges, representing the best blood of the land, will take up the work such as the young men in the Michigan university have taken up, we shall receive our full share of the young blood, and gain the best possible allies. One active young man is worth two old men, or middle aged men, in the activeness of a political campaign; we cannot have too many of them. Everything I can do by way of encouraging the movement among the colleges will be very gladly done. Youis verjr truly,
