HERE ARE FACTS.

Let Facts and Figures Answer
this Wicked, HypOcritical
Taunt.

Taunt.
Where aggressive Prohibition
party work was done throughout
the State, there was the largest vote
for the Amendment.
Let US see:
MoUNDsvILLE, with active Prohi.
bition party work, gives 38 votes
tor Fisk and SO majority for the
Amendment.
NEwBURa gives 5 votes for Fisk
and 1913 for the Amendment to Is
against.
ANDERSON gives 10 for Fisk and
116 majority for the Amendment.
HUNTINGTON casts 81 brave votes
for Fisk and majority of 80 for
the Amendment.
GUYANDoTTE, with aggressive
Prohibition party workers, men
and women, gives Al majority for
the Amendment. The Fisk vote
not yet reported to US.
WEST CHARLESTON must have

bition party club, casting 16 votes

CHARLESTON, the Capital of the
State, including the West End,
gives majority for the Amend
ment. Here the Prohibition men
and women have bravely stood for
the party in the face of most violsnt
abuse and persecution, and withal
the Amendment carries the saloon
cursed city, while it is buried un-
der an avalanche of partisan venom
in counties where there was no
"Third Party" agitation at all
And so we might 60 on, through.
out the State, showing our few ma.
jorities and best vote for the
Amendment where Prohibition
party men stood bravely for the
Right and forced the issue into the
canvass.
Let our friends everywhere fling
these red-hot facts into the faces of
those who seem to take a sort of
fiendish delight in the taunt, "The
Third Party did it," Give them
the burning facts, whether they
will receive them or not; keep
sweet, and facing to the front, go
forward into the next campaign.

Who Did 1t

| through AE0ntS, oI Couioe, mauy
and varied.
1t was a matter of momentous
Importance to Satan's kingdom,
that the Prohibition Amendment
should be defeated. Adopt the
Amendment and homes would be
peaceful and happy, and the great
rushing tide of drunkards now
crowding through the gates of He'll
would be checked and men restored
to sober and prosperous lives and
put in the way to Heaven. This
the Devil must prevent at all haz.
ards, and so he sci about with
fiendish cunning to plan and exc
cute his purpose to defeat the pop
ular will of West Virginia.
In the first place he succeeded in
securing either the silence or eppo-
sition of the Press of both the old
parties; and, in such conflict as
this, silence is often more valuable
to the Devil than opposition itself.
Having secured the Press, he
most cunningly prepared the way
for securing the active aid of the
politicians by raising the Third
Party" howl, and doubtless the in.
fernal regions are still echoing with
jubilatlons over the readiness with
which many good men, an1 preach
ers even, fell into this scheme and
helped him pave the way tor
wholesale party treason to the
Homes of West Virginia. Of course
1t was false cry, and only meant
to catch bitter partisans, who hated
the 'tThira Party worse than the
saloons but it served as an excuse,
in lieu of some other, for worship
ers of the old parties to serve the
Devil in the further developments
of his campaign against the
Amendment.
Having thus secured the old par
ty press, and by the "Third Party"
howl smothered the voice of the
only paper in the State devoted to
the Amendment, the Devil thus
had almost clear field for sowing
his vicious saloon literature, that
came up from his Louisville Head
quarters by tons and tons and was
sown broadcast in every neighbor.
hood throughout the State.
And go was the way prepared for
the final master stroke of Satan's
almost unobstructed campaign. En-
tering the State with immense
sums of Liquor Traffic blood money
and confronting the two old parties
engaged in desperate combat for
political supremacy, it was only
left for the arch enemy of Home to
present his terms to the politicians,
{ Fall down and worship me by de-
feating the Amendment, and I'll
give unto thee the kingdom Of West
Virginia.
That the party machine mana
gers eagerly accepted the terms,
clamored for the biggest share of
the blood money, and carried out
the DEVILS conditions az far az DOS.
sible, was manifest on election day
at nearly every voting place in the
State, and abundantly proved by
the overwhelming defeat of the
Amendment, in the face of we'll
known latent sentiment in its
favor.
TO be sure, there were heroic eff.
forts on the part of men and wo.
men, brave and true, to reach the
masses with the truth and thwart
the DEVILS we'll laid plans; but

The Amendment, in the fight be-
tween the two old parties, was as q
lamb set between packs of hungry
wolves and bowling hyenas. 1t
was literally torn limb from limb,
to appease partisan hunger and
hate, just as the lamb would have
been swallowed up in the roar and
rage of british appetite.

there is every reason to believe that if

American friends of Sullivan were en-
ragged at the idea of his consenting to a
match with Mitchell, not because they
thought he was not the best fighter, but
because they knew that Mitchell was a
cunning, tricky and INSCRIPTIONS man,
who would resort to any dodge that
would pull him through contest by
hook OR crook. If, as reported, Sullivan,
after this dose, doubles up with Mitch

There is hardly possibility of Sir
Dixon starting, and yet it would not do
to leave him out of the calculations.
Green Morris is a very uncertain indi
vidual in matters pertaining to the turf,
and when he says he will do a certain
thing it by no means necessarily follows
that he will. He has on more than one
occasion given it out thathe would leave
Mobile direct for Washington and not
run Sir Dixon in the West at all. But
there is nothing to prevent Morris rum
ming his colt at Washington and Louis
vile also. 1t is not at all likely that he
will, but the bOokmakerS are not dis
posed to take unnecessary chances.
Anything like fat odds, such as Is or 20
to l, might prove more attractive to Sir
DiXOn'S owner than some of the big
Eastern stakes, where his horse would
have to battle from drum-tap to wire.
Hence the son of Billet and JacOnet is
made the favOrite at to l.. A letter
from a well-known Eastern turfman
was to the effect that if Zeb Ward, Rye's
colt, came to the post in good form Nor
ris would not start Sir Dixon, but that
if he did not he would run his own colt.
There was no reason given for this con-
templated action on the part of Morris,
but it necessarily creates the impression
that Morris thinks well of Rye's colt,
and is prepared to back him. The sec
ond choice, Gallifet, is the Melbourne
stables tip. He is strapping big colt,
and, as stated before, Barnes is very
sweet on him. This stable also has the
Lion. Alexandria, Ceawood, Pyramid
and Montpelier entered in the Derby,
: The favorIte with the Kentucky con-
tingent, however, so far as mere eX-
preston goes, is the Ten Brock colt
Pattbn. He has an excellent two-year-
old record; out of six starts winning
twice, running second twice and
getting third place in the other two
races. He. has rounded out magnifi-
Gently this year, and old man Harper
thinks he has the Derby as good as

and taking plenty of work. At fifteen

hackers in Kentucky. Among the dark
contingent COrrigan's Altamont is said
ito be worthy of notice, as is also Won
rideEland, Volante's full brother. From
the Pacific coast comes tip also on
Prince Charlie, but you can't tell any
thing about these California horses.

fore backing them. Zeb Ward and Lit
tile Rock, two of the Derby candidates
at the track here, are in fine form and
taking plenty of work. The report
sent out from Mobile recently that Zeb
Ward was partially paralyZed in his
headquarters is all moonshine. He was
galloping here yesterday at lively
rate.
Buchanan was pressed little too
much the other day and pulled up
tritie lame, while Tom Martin, another
promising candidate for the Kentucky
handicap, is also little sore in his fore
feet.

CHICAGO'S COLTS.
A Garden City Papers Opinion Of
the Youngsters.

The Chicago Herald devotes nearly a
column to review of the ''colts' signed
by the ChicagOs, and the following eX-
tract may be of interest: ''Brynan, who
was in the box for the Duluth team last
season, has created a most favorable i'm
preston. His attitude while in the act
of delivering the ball reminds one of
Weidman. The yOungster has great
deal of speed, and possesses drop ball
that will bother the best of 'em. Little
Clarke, who was with the DeS MOineS
club last year, looks as though he might
prove second Madden. Clarke has
great speed and drop ball which
is almost as effective as Brynan's.
Williamson, however, has cautioned
the boy about pitching this particular
kind of a ball, as the snap required to
deliver it is liable to disable his arm.
Big Krock is more phlegmatic than the
other two colts, but, to use street eX-
preston, he gets there just the same.
His delivery is devoid of fruit or flow
erS. There are no fouriSheS about the
big Bay View wonder. His pitching is
of the plodding. hammer-and-tongs va
riety, which would be just as strong in
the seventh inning as when the game
began. Krock possesses wonderful
speed-almost as great as Baldwin
while his command of the curve ball is
far better than that of the lPittsburg
giant. The yOungSter is strong batter,
but rather lOggy as base runner. His
value, however, cannot be doubted"

ASSOCIATION UNIFORMS.
Some Changes Made by Nearly All
of the Clubs.

Some of the uniforms in use in the
American association next season will be
as gorgeous as a brand-new three-sheet
circus poster, says the Sporting Life.
Three or four of the teams will make
very radical changes in their dress from
that worn last season.
The Athletics, under the new man
agement, have also decided to cast OFT
the mail-carrier uniform worn by them
so long, and will next season appear III
a makeup similar to the one worn by
the DetrOitS last season. 1t will consist
of dark blue pants, white Jersey shirts
and belts, light blue stockings and caps,
with the word .Athletics" worked
across the breasts in light blue. They
will also have outside jacket made out
of jersey cloth. This uniform is very
pretty and a credit to the maker, Charles
Mason, of this city.
The CincinnatiS will have one uniform
similar to that worn by the champion
team in 1882. Every member of the
team will wear different-colored shirt
and cap, and will thus be easily dis
tinguished by patrons by reason OF their
colOrs. They will retain the white pants
and red stockings worn last season.
These uniforms were secured at con-
siderable cost and trouble.
The Louisvilles, not to be outdone by
their rivals from POrkOpolis, will also
don new togs next season. They will
wear solid maroon-colOred pants and
shirts, with bluish-gray stockings, belts
and caps, with the word "LOuiSvllleS"
worked across the breasts of the shirts.
Billy Barnie will make only one
change in his Baltimore uniform. His
men will wear the blue pants, maroon
stockings, belts and caps of last season.
and will have in addition maroon-col-
ored Jersey jacket.
Byrnes' big team will appear in blue
stockings, belts and caps, with shirts
and pants made of white, stamped with
small blue check.
The st. Louis Browns have not
changed their uniforms.
Cleveland contemplates some changes,
but the writer is not able just now to
tell what they will be.
Kansas City has not yet made up its
mind on what it's team will wear next
season. There is no doubt, however. but
what the Cowboys will make avery pre-
Sentable appearance.

MAKING A RECORD.
Ole Northwestern Leaguers Doing
Fine Work in the South.

Fine Work in the South.
Four of the members of the North
western league of last year who entered
the National league are making prOmiS-
ing records in the preliminary games.
It was reported that Foster was proving
a failure, but this is mistake, as he is
winning fresh laurels. In the last game
New York played at New Orleans he
made two home runs and single out of
five times at bat, aud New York paper
predicts he will be the lead ing base
runner of the league. At Jacksonville
recently he met with an accident. He
was on second and had started to steal
third base, when the batSman ''lined
out' the ball between. the bases Foster
turned to see the hit, when
the ball struck him between the eyes,
knocking him out. He got a pair of
black eyes, but is again on duty. Cleve-
land is playing good game at third
and hitting the ball hard. In the sec
ond New Orleans game he won at crit
ical point by two-baSe drive, bringing
in two men. Wilmot, in the Washing
ton team, is the first batter, and his az
erage is now over 400. The sporting
papers mention him as a promising
player. Murray, catcher in the same
team, is in fair way to achieve glory
and is playing a brilliant game. at the
bat as we'll as behind it. In the third
game of the series at New Orleans he
made two hits, Twelve put-Outs and four
assists. The friends of this quartette
will be pleased to learn of their good
york elsewhere
