Morton and Blaine both have an eye
upon the Presidency and are rivals for the
Republican nomination in 1880, and both
of them are playing their cards according
ly, 1t should be regarded as a calamity
to the country if either of them were called
to the Executive Office, They are not
statesmen of liberal views or of broad and
comprehensive ideas, but narrow minded
partisans, full Of bitterness and asperity,

the films of prejudice, who would admin
lister the government as far as possible in
the interests ofparty and not Of the whole

UNION MHIs 1TENs. On Whit Monday a
match game of base ball was played on the
ground Of Mr.. Eli Bankert, of Mt. Pleasant,
between the Centennial Club of Westminster,
and four members of the Mt Pleasant Club
and Five Of the Carroll Club of Union Mills.
Shortly after l o'clock, p, m, the Centen.
mails arrived upon the ground, attired in full
uniform, and after making some preliminary
arrangements, the game commenced about 2
p. IN. The home club was first at the bat,
and scored but two runs the first inning,
while their opponents scored eight. OF the
two or three hundred anxious spectators that
were looking on, | will venture to say that
there were few that did not give the game to
the Centennials by thirty or forty runs; but
from that time on 1t was impossible to tell
who would be the victors. At the beginning
of the ninth inning the score was even, TWEEN,
ty.nine each, considerable interest and ex.
ctement was now manifested among the spec.
tators, while the contestants of both clubs
seemed calm and determined to win. The
home, at this the ninth inning scored nine
runs, while the Centennials made none; thus
making the score stand twenty-nine to thirty.
eight, in favor of the Mt. Pleasant and Car.
roll Clubs.
The day was intensely hot and this, per
haps, more than anything else, was the cause
Of the Centennials' defeat, as they are not
accustomed to the heat of the sun, as are the
hardy boys of the country.
