WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT.
Candidates of Both Parties Disciaim
Any Connection With the Citizens

TICKET.
1t seems, according to gentlemen who
is well posted, that the scheme of nomi-
mating peoples ticket, as it is called, is
to strengthen Fred Richter and kill Aid.
O'ConnOr. DR.. Quinn said: "I'm not say
ing word" and he would not announce
himself as a candidate. Several German
politicians in the Third and Fourth wards
declared that if Richter allowed his name
to be used that way they would throw all
their influence against him. Aid. Cullen,
w. r. Merriam. Albert Scheffer, Robert
Newell, Dr.. KonantZ, T. d. Kerkef'and
Judge Fred Nelson declared that their
names were used without their knowledge
or consent, and in various ways they de-
sired to protest against it. F. A. REM
saws he is the candidate of the Republican
party, and only that. D. NJ. Sullivan, whose
name also appeared on the independent
Seventh ward, said it was put on without
his knowledge, and he would not run.
Judge J. J. Egan laughed, and ventured to
suggest that his candidacy was certainly
unanimous now, and he really believed he
would be elected. C. H. Lienau and Senator
c. w. Griggs say they are not candidates,
and do not want to be. Thomas II. Caul-
field pledges himself to the support of
George H. Allen. James O'Brien states
that if he was not the candidate of the
convention, he doesn't want to be candi-
date in any other way. Arthur G. Otis
conceded that Mr.. German is good enough
for him, and l.. D. Wilkes is really amused
to think that the newspapers have made
him a candidate for almost every office.
Of all the candidates named as Independent,
who are not the Nominees Of either party.
r. w Bell is the only one who openly
states that he will run independently-but
he wants VIII Nichols elected.

The Champion is Beaten by the Chi
cagO RiIliardist.

At the Standard billiard hall last evening
George Slosson and Jacob Schaefer, the
champion billardists. played match game
of billiards for purse OF $3.50 and the gate
receipts. An audience of $50 persons wit
messed the game and enthusiastically ap-
plauded the brilliant plays and large runs
made by the players. The game was four
teen-inch balk-line, 900 points, and Jules
Mayer. of Minneapolis, acted as referee.
Both players were in good form. and the
difference in their style OF playing was no
ticeable. Schaefer played rapid and
seemingly off-hand game, while Slosson
was more careful and painstaking. At the
start Schaefer led. and at the close of the
fourth inning he had 239 to his credit while
Slosson had but 81. When Schaeffer made
his biggest run, ISL points, loud
applause greeted his effort. The last
half of the game, however, Slosson
picked up wonderfully, and when he rolled
up 221 points he received round of APP
plause which, for moment. stopped the
game. This run was an exceptionally
large one, and is but % points below
Schaefer's record of 243, made in the

litical effect.
At the Republican county convention an
attempt was made to nominate DR.. Markoe,

Clifford on the Stump.
Special to the Globe.


RAPID CITY, Oak, Oct. 13.-The local
Republican managers planned grand cam
paign rally recently, and large audience
gathered to listen to Delegate Clifford. who
has been stumping the Black Hills, The
majority of those who listened to his speech
have little to say about it, while not a few
are OutSpoken in their ridicule of it. One
of the newspaper reporters said as he was
leaving the hall: IF l had a boy twelve
years old who couldn't do better than that
l should think he deserved to be spanked. :"
If all the speeches Clifford has made in the
Black Hills were as glittering failures as
the one here, it may safely be affirmed that
the Republican candidate has done Mike
Day good service by his work here. In
local politics the Republicans are carrying
on warm and aggressive fight, but as far
as territorial issues are concerned, wet
blanket has been thrown on them by Gift
ford's presence here. Unless all signs are
wrong Day will poll larger vote in the
Black Hills than any Democrat has yet

At meeting of the managers and Of

cation for the admission of teams from
those cities, and. after consideration, the
action above indicated was taken. The
guarantee bond furnished by each of the
league club managers was increased from
$1,000 to 81. 800, and action was taken
requiring that this be placed with
the league secretary before April 1 next

of the cities to back club, which it is likely
will be under the management of Mr.. Nor

this has not been given out as all absolute
fact. Mr.. Bryan, of Des Moines, and Mr..
