GOVERNOR CLEvELAND's nomination
by the Democrats is acceptable to the
Republicans because he Is new man,
and because, also, his will be defensive

the Republicans that Folger was so
badly beaten In New York for Governor
in 1882, because it naturally, in view of
Mr.. Tilden's declination, made Cleve-
land the Presidential candidate in 1884.
His record as Governor makes him vul-
nerable at almost every point, and espe-
cially among the laboring men. John
Swinton writes Of one act of the Cover
nor in the following: "a short time

New York Legislature limiting to

OF these men the corporations exact II

and the despoiling effects of this upon

has thrown even this bill out of his
Office. The corporations gave him to

TIM Boerne Advance thinks the late
Teachers association in this city did not
do business enough, and that there was
u lack of practical papers and speeches.
and says "The introduction of the
temperance question was very much out
of place, and II the report of ex-Gov-
ernor Roberts speech Is correct, we can
only say it was poor twaddle to come
from so high and mighty person as the
President Of State University. If this
is the sort OF stuff he deals out to the
students it is no wonder that the press
should speak unfavorably Of the future
prospects of the University and the i'm
probability OF high grade Of tuition
being attained in that institution under
its present management. At their future
meetings the teachers should limit the
papers read to the discussion of methods
of teaching in the different departments
and all other kindred subjects likely to
be a benefit to the parties interested,
and firmly sit down on all attempts to
let the discussion drift into trivial talk,
which is useless to all and simply n
waste of time"

TnE ST. Louis Chronicle belongs to

Bayard most vigorously. On the result
of the convention il says: 1.-The Demo
Gratis Mt Chicago have made at least one
blunder--a blunder which they have re-
peated too often heretofore in showing
a decided inclination to "sit down on
John Kelly" and the Irish Democracy of
New York. 1t is folly to say that Kelly
has attempted to dictate Democratic
Presidential nominations. lie has never
essayed such an absurdity, but he has
exercised his right to protest against
men obnoxious to the constituency
which he represents, carefully refrain
ing from ever at any time saying whom
the Presidential nominee should be in
protesting whom he should not be. The
history of his connection with conven-
tlons from first to last baars this out.
And If never opposing the nominee is
the true test of Democracy, Kelly's De-
mocracy must rank high. 1t is true
that he is demagogue, but he is not
alone-would not be alone in the ranks
OF either party in this respect. Tam

OH EnLhS r.s- Police.

Yesterday afternoon upwards of 1000 peo-
pie were present on the base ball grounds to
witness the base ball match between the
cold Folks team and the Policemen. The
day was very hazy and during
the morning there were light Showers but in
the middle of the forenoon it cleared partly
when it was determined to have the game.
However, they were unable to finish it as
sharp shower came up after the ''Old Folks
nad played five Innings, and were completely
uckered out, many of them, while the police
lad only had four innings, and, therefore,
he game was declared draw.
On the side of the cold Folks" couple of
young men were allowed TO play, viz. R. j.
Welsh and n. Patwell, the former being
catcher. The ball appeared to bounce farther
and in more different directions from Pat
well than from any player ever seen. Jim
Malloy as pitcher was complete success,
but his back was too stiff to pick up ball
rapidly. He topped the score on his side,
making total of two runs. Welsh was good
or the run, and when a striker made three
strikes and started for the first he ran them
down, not daring to trust Gates and Patwell
at first to catch the ball, they not holding on

nimble on foot as a kitten, and can hold a

not himself at all, and could discount the
field on errors. A. Hursey only batted in
the third innings, and was put hors de COM

from the field. He found out he

and showed some extra nimbleness Of foot.

was on third base. when Elliott, who was on

Postoffice Notes-Rag Importations-
Signal Service Notes.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-The commission
appointed to investigate the condition of
the Pittsburg postofice, has made
report. They recommend the abolition of
the office cashier, and the consolida-
ton of the duties of that Office with those of
the assistant postmaster, whose salary is to
be increased from 81, 700 to $4,000. They
also recommended the abolition of the office
of chief clerk of the mail division, and the
separation of the mail and city delivery di-
visions, now under one head. The carrier
service is severely criticized in the report as
not prompt and lacking in discipline, but
the city has been redistricted, and an i'm
proved service will go into operation the
first proximo With view of securing
proper degree of efficiency in the city deliv-
cry of the service, it is recommended that
the postmaster be instructed to
select from the present force the most
available man for superintendent, at
an additional salary of $500 per annum. No
additional force is regarded as necessary. a
number of suggestions are made looking to
the establishment of discipline in the office,
and to the proper enforcement of rules The
changes recommended IN the report lnVOiVe
an annual expenditure of 81, $50, and re-
duction of $4,000; net decrease of ex-
pense, 81, $50.
The treasury department received letter
to-day from DR.. Hill, United States health
officer, London, asserting that the importa-
ton of rags into this country from England
is fraught with great danger. Smallpox, he
says, is and has been for some time preva-
lent in London, where quantities of rags are
collected and shipped to America, and large
quantities Of continental rags are forwarded
to London for shipment to American ports.
These rags undergo no process of disinfec-
ton previous to importation, and are
very likely agents to convey infection of
cholera or smallpox, if collected in infected
localities. Twenty-three bags of rags were
recently shipped to New York by the Lydian
Monarch, upon the representation that they
had not been collected in any infected dis
drict, but an investigation showed they came
from Dunkirk, France, where cholera has
just broken out. Large quantities of conti-
mental rags are now being forwarded to
America by way of Hull, more dangerous
port to ship from than either Liverpool or
London.

is indicated for Sunday morning in Dakota,

THE MURPHY-M URRAY MILL.
Jerry Murphy, the Light. Weight
Pugilist, of Minneapolis. Knocks
Out the Iowa Heavy Weight
Champion in Two


For two weeks Jerry Murphy, the Mime
apolis light weight pugilist, an exceedingly
clever, boxer of considerable local note,
and Tom Murray, the alleged cham
pion of Iowa, have been in active training
in this city for a mill which occurred in the
Opera house in Chippewa Falls on Saturday
night. Murray was trained by Jack Colwell,
who recently challenged the st. Paul pugilist
to fight to a finish, and Murray was re-
ported to have been in fine form at 1S5
pounds weight. Murphy weighed 145 pounds
in ring costume, and was in excellent con-
dition.
The entertainment was a general boxing
tournament in addition to the fight, and was
opened by some admirable and lively set tos.
Prof. John Donaldson and Patsy Miller put
on the gloves and made things lively, elicit
ing applause from the large audience. Jack
Colwell and Chris Murphy, Colwell and Mel
len, Donaldson and an Eau Claire boxer, all
gave good exhibitions before the
event of the evening occurred. In
conclusion Murphy and Murray stepped
upon the stage and were enthusiastically
greeted. Murray lowered high above his
little antagonist, and every body was pre-
disposed to the opinion that Jerry could
prove no match for the giant. Prof Donald
son was referee. The largest size soft
gloves were used, and the mill was the short
est on record under the circumstances, only
lasting four minutes and thirteen seconds.
The fight was to finish, and governed by
the Marquis of Queensbury rules. From the
inc av,t irDa lad Iurrv
his superiority, knocking his antagonist
down as rapidly as he could regain his feet,
and batting his face badly.
In the first round Murphy led off with a
light tap with his left on Murray's nose, and
countering in his stomach which doubled
him up, and before he could recover was sent
to grass with heavy blow in the ear. Muir
ray came promptly to time and was knocked
down six times before time was called. 1t
required considerable urging on the part of
Murray's seconds to bring him up for the
second round, but he did it resolutely and
with determination to make as hard a fight
as possible, but to no avail. He only got in
one blow, and that staggered Murphy. The
latter retaliated by knocking him down, first
with his right and then his left. 1t was
| the upper cuts which did the
business, and in one minute and thirteen
| seconUs Murray was cOmpletely KNOCKED out,
having been felled heavily nine times in the
round and was bleeding profusely from Sc
we're gashes in the face. Both eyes were
nearly closed and draped in deepest mourn
| ing. Jerry Murphy came out of the mill
without bruise or a scratch.
Tee Minneapolis party returned home yes
terday in fine spirits. Prof. Donaldson has
gone on to Cleveland, Ohio, where he hopes
to spar Mervine Thompson.
Tom Murray has gone to La Crosse to
mend.
