AND NOWs

One Of the most exciting and spirited
primary elections ever held in Augusta is
over, and the Democracy of the county, by
a large vote, has named her candidates for
the legislature, ard now, there is nothing
left for Augusta Democrats to do but to
elect them, and not merely to elect them,
as there is no question about their doing
that, but to give them such a popular vote
as will be wholesome rebuke for all time
to Bosses and unholy alliances. Our nomi-
nees are City Attorney EDWARD EcHoLs
and CAPT. JOHN n. OPIE-a ticket that
We are satisfied will bring out the whole
voting strength of the party ii the canvass
is properly conducted.
The candidates for the nomination were
all good men and they each had among
their friends the best and truest men in
the Democratic ranks, men 80 good AMI so
true that they will not for moment hesi-
tate, though they have failed to secure the
nomination of their particular favorites,
to support the successful nominees.
No one for a moment doubts that if
Echols or Opie had been defeated they
would not have both supported earnestly
either Skinner, Lyle, Craig or Stump,
whichever of them had been successful. 1t
is still fresh in the memory of those who
attended the nominating convention two
years ago, here in Stanton, how, after
receiving very complimentary vote Capt.
Opie's name was dropped and Col. Skin
ner being nominated hesitated to accept,
when Capt. Opie, the defeated man, then
jumped upon chair and said, 'Col. Ski's-
ner you faust accept will make the cai:~
vass for you-every man heze will help 40
make it for you. you must accept" Then
how the court house rang with cheers for
Skinner and Opie, and when Col. Skinner
did accept and Opie was called upon the
stand, with what alacrity he placed him
self among the supporters of Skinner and
what ringing speech he made in his be-
half. Col. SINNERS friends cannot now
forget the generous, unselfish conduct of
Capt. Opie on that occasion, nor his
staunch support of Col. Skinner all through
the hot campaign that followed, which
resulted in SINNERS election by maj or1-
ty of $50; nor have the people forgotten
it as they propose to divide their honors
between the old and tried servant and
their younger but as yet untried cham
pion. And neither does any one doubt
that Col. Skinner, when he returns from
his travels, will just as cordially and gen.
erously endorse the nomination Of his
competitors, and it will not be long before
his eloquent voice will be heard in just as
spirited advocacy of the principles of Dem
ocracy and the claims of the nominees as
if hs had himself been one Of them.

THE UNSUCCESSFUL CANDL
DA TIES


The unsuccessful candidates, nor their
friends, have any cause for modification
at the result of the primary last Saturday
however much ''their friends, the enemy
may attempt to dissatisfy them and TO-
ment discord in the Democratic ranks AS
to Col. Skinner, his large vote under the
circumstances, is as high compliment to
him as the nomination is to those who Sc
cu1ed it,. The friends of no man can re.
present him in his absence as well as be
could represent himself were he present
and while the successful candidates were
everywhere. urging their claims in person.
the friends of Col. Skinner, had the heavy
load to carry, of his absence beyond the
seas, with possibility, in the minds OF
many of his admirers, of that absence
being too long probracted to make his eff
forts in the campaign as successful as they
should be. 1t takes very small considt 70
ton to influence voters as between two
good men of the same party and that
small consideration was present in the alb
sence OF Col. Skinner, to operate against
him and probably Influenced enough votes
to defeat him.
It is doubtful indeed, whether another
man in the county could have conducted.
fro IA abroad, as successful canvass as
Col. Skinner has done, in fact one of the
successful candidates himself and num-
Der of their friends have been heard to say,
that had Skinner been at home he would
have been one of the nominees. In the
case of Mr.. Lyle. it will not be denied that
he has received a most complimentary en-
dorsement at the hands of the Democrats
OF Augusta. He labo1ed under the disad-
vantage of being one of the last men to
enter the race and of having compare
ti5ely limited acquaintance in large
section of the county. But by reference
to The returns. printed in another column,
it will beseen that where be is best known.
at The precinct in which he resides, Wet
End, and at the precinct where he had
lived for many years before he came here.
Midway, he got large majority of the
votes. When candidate for popular favor
is endorsed by the people among whom he
has his home. he may we'll feel proud, for
with an unworthy man, the reverse is
always the case.
Mr.. Craig too had to contend with the |
disadvantage of late announcement, |
when it was probable that nearly every |
body had been pledged or had decided how |
they would vote; whils Mr.. Stump had not |
the advantage Of general acquaintance ]
in the county.
The Democrats of Augusta may rest
satisfied that Skinner, Lyle, Craig and
.-lmp will give their successful compe-
titors an earnest support and if the Coali-
tionists expect to find in them, soreheads,
who can BIZ Influenced by ther insinuations
of unfair play or their outspoken stuff
about 'srings and cliques," to desert their
party, or even to become lukewarm in
support of their principles and the men
who have been selected to represent them,
they will find themselves very much mis-
takers WHAT is said of the candidates
themselves can be said, and will be found
to be true also as to their friends, when
the ballot-boXes at the general election
shall be opened and the votes counted.

A VERY BUM GAME,
't-4 10 -
The Indianapolis Club Allows Kinder:
garten Nine to Beat Them.

-
1t has been remarked by some one that the un-
cxpectedIhappens oftenest, or words that effect
Without further preface the announcement is
made that the Indianapolis baseball club was
beaten yesterday by the Fort Wayne kindergar-
ten nine by a score of to in game requiring
ten innings to decide. McKeon and keenan,
were the battery presented by the Indianapolis
club. The result is accounted for in two ways,
viz: by the fact that Reid, at second
base, considerably donated the game to the
enemy by dropping three short flies at critical
moment, allowing them TO score. OLeary tele-
graphed last night that he had sent him home,
and would release him to-day. The other
ground on which the defeat may be accounted
for is that the veriest chumps may sometimes
scratch in victory over good club, which is
what happened yesterday. If the Fort Waynes
can beat the Indianapolis boys in tOmOrrOw's
game they can break good many pretty good
people in this vicinity.
The following special dispatch to the Journal
was received late last night, and places a very
different aspect on the game from that indicated
by the above which was written under pressure:
"FoRT WAYNE, July 11.-O'Leary lost the
game with the Fort Waynes to-day by letting
hot-grounder pass him in the sixth inning
whereby two men came in from third and Sec
Ond bases. The game was played in ten innings
and was splendid exhibition of batting and
Kerins and Keenan, made runs. O'Leary says
the ball struck obstacle in front of him and
few over his head"

The directors of the affairs of the Union Rail-

yesterday There were present j. N. McCul-
lugh, vice-president of the Pennsylvania lines
Manager McCrea, who is also president of the
Union Railway Company; VIM. R. McKeen,
president of the Vandala and M. e. ingalls,,
president of the c., T., st. l.. and c. The reor-
ganization of the Union Railway Company was
briefly discussed, but no definite action was
taken, as viee-President McCuGough was obliged
to leave for Chicago at 11:2O A. NJ, and President
ingalls, appeared before the board of euualiza-
ton yesterday, which occupied two hours of his
valuable time, The only action of Importance
taken at the meeting was the
election of v I. Malott of this city, vice.
president and general manager of the Union
Railway Company and Belt road, and a better
man they could not have hit upon for the posi-
ton. Now, 1t is safe to assume that prompt
steps will be taken to harmonic the interests of
the several roads at tins point as regards ter
mlnal faclltles. With this done, a new Union
depot is fixed fact. Mr.. Malott's ability as
railroad mar, and to fill the position of vice
president and general manager, which he has
accepted, VII! not be questioned. Mr.. Malott
began railroad life on the Indianapolis & Peru
road in 1862 as ticket agent and secretary, and
shortly after he was elected treasurer as we'll.
In 1870 he took supervision of the building of
the Michigan City indianapolis. which,
through his efforts, was, in 1871, con-
solidated with the Chicago, Louisville & Cincin.
natl and the Indianapolis & Peru road, making
through line from Indianapolis to Michigan
City, known as the Indianapolis, Peru a. Chicago
road. In 1875 Mr.. Mallott was elected assistant
to the president which position he held until
1879, when David Macy, the president,
signed and Mr.. Mallott was elected vce-presi-
dent and general manager, the office of presi-
dent being nominal after Mr.. Macy resigned un-
til 1881, when the T., p & c. passed under con-
troll of the Wabash, st. Louis & Pacific. Mr..
Maott is now vice president of the three COM
panles which compose the Indianapolis, Peru &
Chicago Railroad Company, which leases to the
Wabash. Last evening President McCrea rather
surprised Uncle Billy Jackson, treas
urer of the Union Railway Company,
by marching into his office with the newly -elect-
ed vice-presiGent and general manager, v. T.
Malott, and Introducing him. Uncle Billy at
once took in the situation, and pleasantly re-
marked, "Wel, you could not have suited me
any better" 20
