c. W. Whitney, of Ogden, Makes Il
Statement That May Affect
the Race.
OGDEN, UrAH. October 2d. 1884.

- u. /.
! Editors Herald:
Herewith is copy of my letter tc
Mr.. d. G. Calder, who represents Mr..
Tibbetts in the coming foot race. | am
Mr.. Wrights trainer and hacker. and
will endeayor to explain the situation
and would like you to give the subject
space in your paper, that all parties in
terested may know what to expect.
In order 10 secure the race as an at
traction here, on October 9th. the Ogden
Driving Park Association offered to add
$50 to the ISIrSe, which, with the SO for
expenses and $50 stakes, would make
Mr.. Tibbetts $50 in pocket, provided he
could win the race. Mr.. Calder in
formed me that the manager of affairs
on Washington Square would not give
anything for the race rs an attraction.
and we consented to go there
without any addition to the purse.
but it now transpireS that the
said management had made an offer
equal TO or exceeding that of the Ogden
Driving Park Association, and it is very
evident to us that Mr.. Tibbitts' repre-
sentaIives contemplate being that much
ahead if they should lose the $50 wager.
II there Is any money given we insist
upon It's being put up as an addition TO
the $50 purse, and let the winner have
it, as would have been the case here.
and have no doubt that such was the
intention of the party making the offer.
Ii no money has been offered and the
base ball fraternity of Salt Lake do not
consider the race an attraction worth
$50 or sos, We will not permit them to
reap 3 benefit from il through gate re-
ceipts, but will select day and track 10
suit our convenience.
Anything that is reasonable and fair
We will accede TO, butwe object to being
handled without gloves"
Yours truly, c. w. WHITNEY.
Mr.. Whituey's letter to Mr.. Calder.
enclosed with the above, merely states
that he has noticed The HERALD's state
ment that the manager of the Butte
games had outbid HE Ogdenites, who
wanted the foot race run in that place
He concluded by saying that unless at
least $50 is added to the purse here that
his side will reserve the right to set the
day for the match, and that they will
not run on the Square October 8th. Just
how the 10 per cent. of the gate receipts
for that date. which Mr.. Spencer said
was to be given the runners, figures in
all this, is not at present known; but
the whole matter will probably be set
tied in time for publication in our sport
ing columns tomorrow.

Recent Politics in Maine.

Upon the surface, the result Of the
Maine election appears highly ensour-
aging to the Republicans. They have
increased their majority Of sS72 in
1880 to 10000 in 1884 The majority is
greater than they dared hope for, and
is an astonishment and source OF Joy
to the party all over the country.
They are not slow to assert a victory
for Blaine In November.
An examination OF the actual sit
uation in Maine does not show good
cause for Republican iubllation. To
one acquainted with the politics Of
that state it Is well known that ever
since 1873 the Republicans have been
opposed by fusion OF Democrats and
Greenbackers, the latter of whom
were mostly recruited from the
Republican party. This combination
astonished the country by the election
Of two members Of congress, Murch
and Laid, in 1878, and OF Gov,
Plaisted in 1880. Since then they have
fallen TO quarreling themselves,
and the Greenbackers have returned
to the Republican party, from whence
they came. From voting against the
Republicans, they have now gone to
voting with them. The effect Is, o.
course, TO greatly increase the Repub-
lican vote and enlarge their majority
over the Democrats. That this is the
true condition in Maine is well proven
by the vote Of 1879. before the Green
back schlsm lad begun to divide the
Republican party, at which election the
Republican majority was in excess Of
$4,000. With the disappearance of the
Greenback party, politics has resumed
Its normal state in Maine, and Demo.
Gratis and Republicans are now the
only partisans, with the latter n
"beastly majority"

GAINESVILLE, TEX, Sept. lS.-Fur-
Their particulars of the Wilson killing,

Wilson had been working in the ma

and had crossed the river and come to
the Bend on foot, the same day he met
his death. He attempted TO raise "A
row with several of the citizens, and
tried several times TO get into fight
with Ragsdale. Wilson was armed
and displayed his pistol. Ragsnale
avoided him several times, and at
about - o'clock the parties met, when
Wilson drew and presented his pistol.
Ragsdsle Immediately whipped out
his revolver and fired five times, two
shots striking him in the neck, one in
the right arm and two in the left
shoulder. Wilson lived about an hour
after he was shot and was conscious
TO the last. He refused to tell where
he was from. His last words were, 81

shooting Ragsdale surrendered, snd Is

After the shooting Wilson's pistol was

WELLINGToN, KAs., Sept 1S.-The
city was thrown into the widest ex-
citementthis morning by the sudden
appearance on the streets of Frank
Jones armed with Winchester rifle
and firing into the residences of vari.
Gus citizens. He first went 10 the res
idence of John j. Anderson and fired
several shots into the house
He then repaired to the house
of J. NJ. Mckee, through which he
fired twelve shots, smashing the fur
niture and wounding small child of
McKee's. An alarm was quickly
raised and in few minutes many citi.
zens were up in arms Jones was
wounded, and while gallsping up
Hington avenue he shot VIM Gaines,
a street commissioner, infllcting verg
dangerous wound. Jones then rod, to
the house of his brother, Sylvester
Jones, and discharged several shot, an
to it, hut the family had escaped to the
neighbors. He then fled to the coun-
try but was pursued and captured
about mile from town. About week
ago Jones was brought before the Jury
to have mis- sanity passed upon. Since
then he has threatened the lives of all
who testified against him and to-day
he was endeavoring to carry his threats
into execution. Public opinion seems
divided as to his sanity. He is in Jail
and there are great fears that he will
be lynched.

ENTHUSIASTIC crowds beset Gov.
Cleveland at every station along the
line Of his travel through New York
while going to and from the state fair
at Elmlra. Outside the city of New
York he is the most popular governor
that state has ever had, and his sim
pie habits and unaffected demeanor
will win him thousands OF votes among
the country people, who admire direct
ness and hate sham and stiffness.
