Judge Brown’s Declination.
Judge Charles F. Brown, 66, LL. D.,
7°96, a member of the New York Su-
preme Court, was nominated for his
place on the bench by both the Gold
and Silver Democrats. The nomina-
tion of the Silver Democrats he has
declined in the following let r.
Supreme Court Appelate Division,
Second Judicial Department,
Brooklyn, N. Y., Oct. 5,° 1896.
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.

Obituary.
HENRY R. WINTHROP, 730.
Henry Rogers Winthrop, ’30, of New
York, died at his country seat at Far
Rockaway, October 23.
Mr. Winthrop was born in New York,
January 31, 1811. He prepared for Yale
and was graduated from there in 1830.
He studied at the Yale Law School, ani
was admitted to the bar in 1832. 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.
On November 20, 1838, Mr. Winthrop
married Miss Margaret Louisa Hicks.
Mr. Winthrop was the oldest in de-
scent of the lineal descendants of Gov-
ernor John Winthrop, of Massachu-
setts, tracing that descent always
through the oldest sons. He was one
of the oldest members of the Yale
Alumni Association, of New York, and
also of the Century Club. He was an
incorporator of the University Club of
New York city, and one of the first
members of the Bar Assoc'ation of that
city. He belonged to the St. Nicholas
and New England Societies.
Mr. Winthrop has always resided in
New York, and his influence has been
exerted in favor of everything tend-
ing to elevate and reform the exist-
ing social and political conditions of
that. city. He leaves a widow, a son,
Mr. Buchanan Winthrop, *62, who is
a member of the Yale Corporation, and
a daughter, Harriet Rogers, wife of
Rey. Haslett McKim.
REV. THOMAS S. POTWIN, 701.
Rev. 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. He had been ill for
some time, but when the news came a
few days ago that he had passed the
crisis of typhoid fever and was rapidly
improving, his friends expressed great
hopes of his recovery. <A_ relapse
set in, however, and death resulted
in a very short time.

++
Policy of the Sound Money Club.
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.”
