THE BASEBALL SEASON,

The baseball season, which is about
over, has been very successful. There
have been fewer stranded clubs and
larger audiences at the games than ever
before. The National Club has had a
full share of the prosperity of the
season and has also won the pennant
of the association to which it belongs.
Washington is one Of the best baseball
cities in the Union. The admirers of
the sport are many and they never miss
an opportunity of seeing n good game,
The management of the Nationals have
a good nine and the people patronize
them liberally.
There will probably be some change
in the rules of the game before the
next season by which the play will be
more evenly distributed throughout
the field, and will not consist, as it now
does, mainly of contests between the
pitchers and catchers. AS Mr.. Scanlon,
The manager of the National nine says,
baseball has become one Of the standard
amusements of the summer, but people
pay to see games, and they want to see
the ball knocked about and all the
players at work, They are beginning
TO tire of going to see, not the better
nine, but which nine has the more ex-
pert pitcher and the cleverest catcher.
This is an era Of reform, and base
ball, like the civil-service, must drift
with the current

certainly contemplated that whcnit said
that one of the commissioners should
be of the party opposed to that in
power. We hope that this cXorbitant
demand on the part of the New York
Democracy will not cause our Rcpubli-
can friends to lose any sleep. We also
hope that the gentle and even tcmpcra.
mcnt of the author of those celebrated
classics, The Breakfast Table Letters
to the President" will not be uuduly
disturbed.
Another evidence Of the support
which the New York Democracy gives
the Presidents shown in that plank of
the platform which relates to silver.
The repeal Of the silver act or some
compromise by which the coming Of
surplus bicycle wheel dollars may be
avoided is strongly demanded.
The same stand is taken on the tariff
as was taken by the National platform
of 1SS4-to revise our system of import
duties in spirit Of fairness to all in
tCrCsts.
The priority under the Civil Service
law of the honorably discharged sol
dicrs and sailors who fought for the
Union is recommended, and sumptu.
airy and other laws that oppose the con
stitutional rights Of men are opposed.
1t Is good platform. 1t is true that
there are in it many points similar to
the last National platform adopted by
the party. But why should there not
be such resemblance? The Democrats
won on the platform Of 1884.
The Washington critic., 1885-09-26
THE NEW YORK DEMOCRATS.

The New York Democrats have
shown in the declaration of principles
which they have put forth that they
know how to build political platform
as well as other people, There is not a
line in wha; they have adopted that
shows any sign of their being dis
gruDtled The hearty and uneondi-
tional Endorsement of President Cleve-
land and his administration is frank
and forcible, There is no hitching in
what they say about that.
Their Endorsement of civil-service re-
form is no less candid and energetic
They reafiirm the declarations made on
