Some Disrespectful Remarks About a Dis
tinguished Indianian.
Washington Letter in Philadelphia Record
This month lot of Democratic nobodies have
been figuring for the nomination in the same alb
surd way The most prominent and therefore
the most ridiculous has been a tall, red faced
Congressman from Indiana, named Thomas j.
Wood. Thomas it appears by the Congression
al Directory, was born in Ohio in 1874, was
raised on a farm, taught school two years. stud
led law and has practiced at Crown Point, Ind,
since 1867, He has been elected as a Democrat in
Republican district corporation treasurer,
prosecuting attorney, State senator and
congressman. This is his first term.
This is not the sort of record upon
which Presidential candidates are usually Sc
lected yet Wood has apparently convinced
himself that he is the coming man. The fact is,
he is the victim of huge practical joke Some
of his friends here persuaded him that he is the
man for the nomination. They have sent let
ters to the newspapers signed with fanciful sig
natures declaring that the grangers or the
teachers, as the case may be. were dying to vote
for Thomas jefferson Wood Then they have
marked these epistles with big blue pencils and
sent them to Wood, and Wood has swallowed
every one of them as the gentle gudgeon does
his favorite bait He has even gone so far as to
write to Mcdonald, one of Indiana's favorite
sons, to say that SO long as Mcdonald is in the
field the name of Thomas ] erson Wood will
not be presented to the convention. On the
whole am inclined to think it never will be
presented to the convention.

The Hoosier ball -tossers have added two more
to their list Of victories, by defeating the Ale

yesterday. In both games the boys had their
batting clothes on and welded the willow with
their old time yigor. In Saturdays game, Nea-
gle and McKeon did the pitching and both were
batted with freedom, although McKeon, unlike
Neagle, was effective where good work
was needed, in consequence of which
the Alleghenys' hits were scatter

DEFEATING THE wASHINGToNS.
On yesterday the Washington club made its
first appearance in Indianapolis and played a
game with the home club on the Bruce Park
grounds. As on the previous day, Locke
played in middle field and Wiehe
at second. The batteries were Nc
Cauley and Keenan,, Hanill and Morgan.
In the first inning Phillips went to second base
on an error by Prince, and Wiehe came to the
bat He hit the ball squarely on the nose and
knocked it over Farley's head for a home run
Callahan was the next to face Hanill's delivery
and followed Wiehes example by sending the
bali clear to left field fence for home run Hits
by Keenan,, Locke and Peltz, and errors by DIN,
assisted the home club to score eight runs in the
first inning and heavy batting and loose fielding
allowed them to score as many more during the
progress of the game McCauley's pitching was
very effective, only five hits being made off his
delivery, Following is
