SPORTING NOTES.
THE TURF AND THE BALL FIELD.
five Interesting Races and Good Speed at
brighton Beach-The Brown stock
ings and the Fort Worth
Club Meet To-Day.
BASE Rail,


The concluding game of the Texas
league clubs in Dallas for tho present
season, win be played here this after
noon. Although Dallas has won the
championship, the Fort Worth team has
won three games of the Browns recent
iy, and great struggle may be antici-
paied this afternoon. The Browns feel
confident of winning, and with their re-
cent, strong additions, can certainly
nope with reason for the result in their
favor.
While all the other state clubs are dis
banding, Dallas and Fort Worth are vet
playing their players, and it takes mon
| oy in no small quantities TO keep lip
| such excellent mines.
Inc, generous patronage that has
placed north Texas so largely and em-
phatically in the lead in this splendid
sport, If continued now, win give us
some of the finest games this winter
ever Witnessed IN ie south. Dates are
being even now arranged with most OF
the crack players who contemplate vis-
iting New Orleans this winter The Dali
las browns have been also compli-
mented with an invitation to visit the
Crescent City during the exposition.
inc Browns have offered the Kansas
City club dates for November, o, 10 and
ii. The Nashvilles for November 2. :
and 4. Those dates may bo ae.
accepted. If not, others not IA,
oil Will be, as both clubs ara
anxious to visit Dallas. A strong team
from Now Orleans is also negotiating
for dates, and II Is probable at least !
dozen games will be played hero witt
visiting clubs during November.
Play will begin promptly ut $3.50 THU
afternoon.
III Dallas bats as well as she did a
Fort Worth and fields up to her OLD
standard, she will win.
The Browns have been doing greai
deal OF good practice the past week anS
their friends expect them to avoid the
bad fielding errors that have been ss
conspicuous in the last few games.

UNCOVERING THE ACALAWAGS.

There is no good reason why Florida should
not br for Blaine now that an Independent
movement is aiOOi. The better class of Demo-
Gratis are disgusted with their party and have
joined with the Republicans in An effort to elect
one of their number Governor. The Republi-
cans, in stepping aside and giving to the Inde-
pendens their sympathy, did long headed
thing, and removed from the fight an obstacle 10
lndenendent success. An Independent Gov
ernor means full electoral vote for The Repub-
lican ticket
The above, which we take from the
Baltimore Herald, Republican journal
working in the interest OF the election of
Blaine an Logan, will prove very inter
estlng reading to- the so-called Democrats
in Florida who propose to vote for Pope
and Greeley in the Gubernatorial election
The Herald is not fully posted as to the
scheme being worked by the Republicans
in Florida, or it would not have uncov-
cred them. 1t is very true that San In
dependent Governor means full electo-
raj vote for the Republican ticket" and,
furthermore, it means again placing the
State of Florida under Republican rule
in all OF its worst types, but the men who
are scheming to do this will not admit it.
They claim to be Democrats, and are at
tempting to make inroads upon the Demo
cratic party by sailing under false colors.
The Uerot'i, without meaning 20 do so,
shows them to be >calawags of the lowest
order. They are Republicans in every
thing but name, and their greed for office
prompts them to stoop to the degradation
of deceit and treachery to cover their
real purposes.

The boom, SO to speak, that Col. Bynum
and Frank White, whom contemporary
roprlately denomnates Pope's 'hench-
men," were endeav oring to work up for
the Independent party, and for which
they claim a considerable following, if
they had succeeded in alluring few
credulous voters from the path of right
eousness, has subsidized. The very few
dissatisfied sufragans they bad partially
converted to their pseudo-Independent
faith have seen the absurdity OF this new
political upstart, have denounced it a
patent fraud, and have united themselves
with the party that wrested the reins of
government from Radical misrule in 1875,
and are working vigorously for its con
tinuance in power. We know the politi-
cal status of old Suwannee, and do not
think that we eXaggerate when we say
the Independent ticket will not receive
fifty votes in this county. There is a
sentiment here that the terms Radical,
Independent and Fraud are synonymous,
and that the person who uses his influence
and vote to place such party in power is
a fool We would be startled in no great
measure if, before the election occurs,
even Pope's henchmen," as prejudiced
as they are to good government, do not
discern the error of their way and come
back to the Democratic fold.

Baltimore Day.1

Baltimore Dayl
DR. Ball, of Buffalo, the leading de-
famer of Governor Cleveland, has sued
the Boston Herald for libel because that
paper printed dispatch purporting to
show him up in his true colors. The dis
patch is as follows:
The Rev" Ball. who originated the vile Sian
der on Governor Cleveland, IL has just been
learned, used To live down in Gibson county,
Ind. A C0urter-JOurndi representative who was
down ut Owensville yesterday interviewed sew
eral prominent people, from whom it was learned
that a number of years ago this same Ball
preached to small congregation, from whom
he filched money under various pretenses. He
finally became noted over the country as great
liar, and one in whom no trust could be placed.
Ball not only became noted liar, but one
who mbbed very frequently little too much
bad whskey for preacher. He was finally ex-
PEELED from the church, and he left the county
He is SO we'll known down in Gibson county that
Republicans as we'll as Democrats brand him as
one of the monster frauds of the county. These
facts are authentic and can be verified ut any
time.
Libel suits Of this kind are not unusual
In the heat of the campaign they are
brought for the effect they may have on
the election When the election is over
the seeker after vindication, who manages
to secure convenient delays, allows the
suit to drop. This may be the course
which the "Rev" Mr.. Ball will pursue,
but we hope the Boston Herald will see
that the suit is Immediately pressed to
/ trial.

On the deck Of big Mississippi steamboat stood
an aged Southern planter. Indicating BY sweed
of bis arm the waters the boat WAS passing over,
be said to a passenger from the North; "When

new plantation my father was then cutting out of a
forest that grew directly over the waters OF this

there was right smart Of bears there too But that

years ago"
It is putting no strain upon the figure to say that
great forests Of youthful hope womsnly besuty and
manly strength swept 10 the same way every
year Into the great, turbid torrent of disease and

When Secretary of State Blaine put
himself at the head of the great army of

But his time in the service was too short
to "reAlize," and change OF adminstra-

There is marked falling off in the

The cowardly and disgraceful assaults
made upon Gov. Cleveland, for the pur-
pose of drowning the outcry against
Blaine's corrupt public record, have ex-

just 80 long a. the negro will work
and vote for these office seeking dema-
gogues, he is all right and g a friend and
brother" and all that but when he wants
a division OF the spols, or even political
recognition, he is all wrong. A striking
illustration Of this spirit came to us re-
Gently from Hamburg precinct, Madison
county. The white Independents have a
campaign club there, and very naturally
the negroes, who are also Independents,
are desirous of uniting with the club.
They think, at least, they should have
political recognition and equality among
these their newtound political friends and
allies. They applied for admission to the
club, but were refused. Oh, no, they are
not wanted "as members" by these re-
constructed Bourbons. The "niggers J"
should, according to their way of think
ing, be content to stand at the door and
see the circus and hear the orators, and
then, at the proper time, come up and
vote the Independent ticket. But "don't
YOU come inside and sit on the same seat
with us, as that would smack too strongly
of social equality. Cuffee, you do the
voting and Wen do the office-holding,
is the idea of these great Independent
reformers."
