My Dear Sir—Upon my arrival from Europe on Saturday I learned that the Democratic Judicial Convention for the Second Judicial District had wunani- mously nominated me for the office of Justice of the Supreme Court, which will become vacant upon the expira- tion of my own term of office. I am deeply sensible of the great honor which the convention has con- ferred upon mein nominating me to be my own successor, but after very care- ful reflection I find it imposible to ac- cept the nomination. At the approaching election I shall cast my vote for the candidates of the Republican party, as I cannot support the candidates nominated at the Chi- cago convention, nor give my adher- ence to the political principles set forth in the platform adopted by that body. While it is with great regret that I am constrained to server my former political associations, I think you will agree with me that, under the circum- stances, it would be manifestly im- proper that I should be a candidate for office on the Democratic ticket, and that it is best that I should withdraw. I shall, therefore, decline the nomina- tion made at the Judicial Convention. With great respect, I am very truly yours, Charles F. Brown. 4. LU MINE W HEB iIox Obituary. HENRY R. WINTHROP, 730.

After studying in the office of Chancellor Kent of New York, he began pract.ce in partnership with William T. John- son. Formerly a Whig in politics, at the birth of the Republican party, he became a Republican, and remained a loyal supporter of its principles to the time of his death.

Thomas Stoughton Potwin, well known in Hartford, Conn., as a Con- gregational clergyman, who had been in ill health, physically and mentally, for several months past, died at his home in Hartford last Thursday. In a state of mental depression, he took his own life. Mr. Potwin was born in East ‘Wind- sor, Conn., April 4, 1824, his parents being Thomas and Sarah Stoughton Potwin. He was graduated from Yale in the class of 1851, and immediately after was a tutor in Greek and Latin at Beloit, Wis. In 1853 he returned to the East and began the study of Theology in East Windsor Hill Sem- inary and the following year was aDp- pointed tutor at Yale. In 1855 he took the degree of M. A. from his alma mater. Three years afterward he was married to Miss Harriet Amelia King, of Boston, and remained in New Ha- ven for two years, as tutor in Astron- omy, after Professor Olmstead’s death, and as assistant to Professor Porter in Logic. He was later ordained as pastor of the Congr2gatioral Church in Frank- lin, N. Y., remaining there for six years and a half, during the period of the Civil War. He returned to East Windsor for a short time, and then removed to Amherst, Mass., where he lived until 1875. In that year, in con- nection with Mrs. Potwin, he took charge of the Hartford Orphan Asy- lum, remaining there until 1887. He afterwards lived in Florida for one year, but ill health, which had attend- ed him all his life, compelled him to retire from all active pursuits, and for the past nine years he has lived in Hartford, without any occupation. During his charge of the orphan asy- lum, he made many fri2nds by his un- tiring work in behalf of those under his charge. He leaves besides his wife, two adopted children. EGBERT W. CORNWALL ’92 S. Hgbert W. Cornwall, ’92S., died at his home in this city, on Saturday of last week, in the twenty-sixth year of his age.

Owing to inquiries made recently re- garding the 20licy of the Sound Mon- ey Club Committee, which has appa- rently been quite inactive, the Yale Daily News published the following explanation: — “Owing to the peculiar situation in which the University felt itself placed by the action of many of the people of New Haven and by the criticism of the press, the Committee thought it advisable to take no ac- tive part in any public demonstration in this city, and no member of the University acquainted with the facts of the case can doubt the wisdom of this decision. “The Committee then determined to invite prominent speakers to address the University in behalf of sound money, but on writing to the National Committee, it was found impossible to accomplish their wish, owing to the great need of speakers in the doubt- ful states of the West. “The committee, therefore, has done whatever lay in its powér, and even if its policy seems to have been one of inactivity, it can be readily under- stood that its decisions throughout have been for the best interest of the University.” —_____~+o____—__ Scientific Senior Class Officers.
