AS the Eastern teams finished up their

date and found the fgsres very interest

give only the record of victories and de-
feats pitched in, as the data Of earned runs,
rs scored under the existing rules, are not
only useless as afording any criterion of
the relative skill Of the pitchers IN their
work in the box, but they are positively
misleading. i therefore give the figures
showing the percentage of victories pitched
in as the only reliable criterion the rules
for scoring now afford The figures given
below are those of all the championship

ing teams have pitched in up TO June "A, in

in which they stood on June %. First
comes the Brooklyn clubs team OF five

Governed by Rum.

Neso York Correspondent IN Chicago Advance.
The denomination of Gov. Hill forces
one issue undisguisedly to the front.
His recent course has been an open
bid for the liquor vote of the state. By
the liquor power he has been nominal
ted. There has been no cOncealment
and no skillful mixing of issues. The
liquor power of New York, pure and
simple, is on trial, and will fail or tri-
umph in the fate of Gov. Hill. Will it
succeedf Three-quarters of the peo-
pie of New York city, it is said, drink
liquor. They will support Hill what
ever their views on the tariff. The
same proportion of drinkers is to be
found in several great cities. The liq
uor party is a united body, having one
spirit the temperance party is pOliti
cally divided army. Mayor Hewitt,
while opposed to Hill, predicts that his
vote will outrun Cleveland's. All de-
cent citizens are getting ready to hide
their faces in shame when it shall be
proved, as it probably will be, that
the great state of New York is govern
ed by rum.

THE LEGISLATURE.
The Lawmakers of 1855 In sessio

The Lawmakers OF 1883 I'm Session.
The legislature of 1888 assembled
yesterday at Montpelier. This event
was preceded by a grand reception to
the retiring Governor Ormsbee and
wife at the executive chamber. 1t was
an informal reception but every way
successful, bringing together brilliant
company of the leading men of the
state.
The interior of the capitol building
has been thoroughly overhauled and
in some particulars remOdeled since
the closing of the doors on the last ses-
sion. The house consists of 2l9 repub-
licans, nineteen democrats, one indie
pendent, and one independent demo-
crat. Three towns, Bradford, Canaan
and Georgia, failed to elect represent
tatives.
There was, we understand, no mate
rial opposition to Senator III. G. Bates
of Caledonia county to the office of
president pro tenn. of the senate and
he was elected to the position. Major
Josiah Grout of Derby was also re-
elected to the speakership of the
house. Governor-elect Dillingham; has
appointed Fred A. Rowland of Water
bury secretary of civil and military af-
fairs, a most excellent selection. Gov.
Ormsbee's retiring message will be de-
livered in the state house this fore
noon. GOvernor-elect Dillingham; will
be sworn in this afternoon and will
then deliver his message.
