BASE BALL.-The Nolans went to Houmas
store last Sunday afternoon and played a
s1x-inning game with the Henry C. Braud
club, formerly the New Hopes. The grounds
were wet and in poor condition, affording
little opportunity for display of skill either
IN the field or at the bat. The Nolans won
the bout easily by score of 80 to 8. Mr..
Glenn. ?. Binnings umpired in very accep-
table manner and Mr.. H c. Braud did duty
as scorer. The Braud nine is composed of
excellent material, and when Capt. Dave
Caseg'gets his men in practice he proposes
to give the Nolans sure enough tussle for
supremacy.
Nothing further has been heard relative
to the proposed game between the Morgan
City nine and the Nolans.
The long deferred match between the
Teutonic and Cosmopolitan mines is on the
again for tomorrow. A keg
of beer will be tapped after the game.

TIFF RIGHT RING.

The Iowa Republican State convention
which met at DesMoines on Wednesday
was a very large and harmonious body
every county in the State being represented
by full delegation, with no contestants.
Gov. Buren r. Sherman, Lieut.. GOV. O. III.
Manning and Superintendent of Education
Okers Line were renominated by acclama-
ton, and Judge Reed was the successful can
didate for Supreme Judge.
The platform is sound one, and the fol-
lowing resolutions on the tariff have the
right ring:
Sixth-That stability is desirable in such pub
lie policy as relates to and affects all prOfin
industries, and we condemn the threat of the
Iowa Democracy to disturb and keep at unrest
said industries, and the capital and labor en-
ployed therein, by gradual and persistent efforts
to 80 change the customs laws as to establish
free trade, and insist upon such revenue laws as
Will encourage American industries and protect
American labor, in order that the American
worklngman shall have fair days wages for
fair days work, and tend to assure permanent
employment.
Seventh-That the inability of the Democratic
party during the six years it held undisputed
control OF the, House Of Representatives of Con
gress to agree on legislation for the revision of
the tariff and the reform of the civil service,
notwithstanding both subjects were constantly
and prominently present in the platform Of
promise and campaign activities. and the pas
sage ct laws affecting both the said objects BY
Republican Congress at its late session demon
strates anew the capacity of the latter.
1t becomes every day more and more
apparent that the Republican party is still
the party of protection, while the Democracy
is gravitating farther and farther towards
free trade. Attempts are made to obscure
and evade the issue by thin disguise of
" tariff for revenue only" arguments, but
the lines are constantly growing clearer.
That the tariff problem will be the princi-
pal issue of the next national campaign is
now generally conceded, and it is scarcely
less plain that the Protectionists will all be
on the side of the Republican party while
the Free Traders will all gather in the
Democratic camp.
