The Harvard Union.

The Harvard Union has evidently entered upon a new era of usefulness. The debate last night on the silver question called out a large number of interested students, nearly all of whom, expressed their opinions on the subject.

The debate was opened by W. H. Davis, '93, who dwelt upon the attitude of the Republican party towards the coinage of silver, both at present and in the past. H. Hudson, L. S., followed for the negative, with a vigorous attack upon the Silver Bill of 1890. F. W. Dallinger, '93, for the affirmative contrasted the attitude of the Democratic leaders of the last Congress, on the Silver question, with that of the leading Republicans, in a very telling manner. The remainder of the debate was taken up by a large number of interesting speeches from the floor.
