The second game of the series between
the Dallas Browns and the San Antonio

yesterday afternoon, to q fuir.sized Sat
urday audience. Though the outcome of
the game was as anticipated, there WAS
some wonderful plays made ON each
side, the score resulting 10 to 5 in favor
OF the Browns. At the outset, il seemed
that the Browns had a walk over. hut mt
the end OF the sixth inning, the score
stood B to 5, when Clark, OF the "ponv
battery" was disabled by throw from
the out. field, nccessitating q change i'm
positions, ana the old battery, Crothers
aud Murphy, relieved them, scoring
three successive white-washes for the
sunsets, the Browns adding five hard
earned runs TO their score. Wilsey did
his a 'cuStumed amount of had-htting,
ana though unfortunate on bases, was
one of the main factors of the success OF
the Brown STOCKINGS. Clark did some
excellent work behind the bat, up To

general playing was brilliant through

Odll-guefS because of his pluck and

The third game of the series will be
played this afternoon, and most inter

II has always been considered in eN-
tremely bad tasto to "kickr about an
honest defeat, and the manager of the
Houston Nationals ought to have more
policy If not sense than to attribute the
defeats of the Houston nine while here
to the dishonesty of two of his PLAYERS.
The Browns of Dallas are now the finest
nine in Texas, and won the games of the
Nationals by superior playing, nothing
else, and the baseball public may as
well know this fact. And yet the mama
ger of the Nationals, Coy Il, says TO
Post reporter that the last two games
were thrown off by the pitcher and
catcher, SMITH and HANL0N, and
that they have been therefore dismissed.
On the contrary praises were loud here
of SNIlH's pitching and HANLoN's
catching. They did the best work OF
the team. It's equally unjust and false
to say that Dallas men were backing
Houston up to the third game. Dallas

A WASHINGTON dispatch of the LIST
inst. contains the following information
of interest to democrats, who seem to
base all their hopes on Sammy Tilden:
A gentleman long and prominently
identified with democratic politics states
that Mr.. Tilden's letter Of declination
has been written, and will certainly be
sent out by the 18th or Goth of June.
MI. Tilden, he says, will refuse to allow
the use Of his name on the ground of
i'll health, stating that his strength is
not equal to the excitement and harrass-
ing cares of a campaign. Gov. Cleve-
lands most intimate friends, this gentle
man states, say that he is not in the race,
Mr.. Dana recognizes this fact and his
paper expresses its regrets. Cleveland
is not favored by Tilden, who thinks he
cannot carry New York because John
Kelly and his friends are bitterly OPP
posed to him. The probabilities are, in
his opinion, that Flower will have the
delegation, and MI. Tilden being out of
the way by his own declination, Flower
will be a formidable candidate at Chi
cagO.

John A. Logan, born February 9th,

schooling as he could get in his native
Illinois county of Jackson. H was a
lieutenant in the First Illinois regiment

to the bar in 1852, being elected to the
Legislature the same year, and in the
mex to the office of prosecuting attor-
ney of the third judicial district, hold

elected to the state legislature in 1853,

He succeeded Sherman at the head of
the Fifteenth army corps in November,
1863, and when Mcpherson lost his life
on the 22nd of July, Logan succeeded
him, and commanded the army of the
Tennessee, going with Sherman on the
march to the sea. From the close of the
war to 1871 Gen. Logan served in the
house. In that year he was elected
senator. He was defeated for reelection
in 1877 by David Davis, but was return
ed at the expiration of Gov. Oglesby's
term in 1879. He is a man of great de-
cision and energy. In congress his
position has always been in the fore
