Waterbury evening Democrat., 1888-07-30

Special meetings Of the League and As sociatior have been called for and some matters of great interest must be on the docket to require immediate attention The first of these conferences will be held at the Girard House, Philadelphia, tomorrow by the latter organization.
 The charges made by President Won der Ahe against Mir. Byrne, of the Brooklyus, while the latter was in St. Louis, is likely to be given some attention by the directors of this organization, and if carefully inves- tigated the Browns President may have to diet on crow or the little mogul from the City of Churches may be placed in an un- pleasant position. The former is hot headed while the latter's shrewdness is likely to carry him through the difficulty
 The charge that Mr. Byrne has tempered with players will also be indorsed by the statement of the Cincinnati representative who has an old grievance of the same na- ture against him.
 The 5-4 game at Kansas City, which cul- minated in the Brooklyns walking off the field and the inaiotion, under the rules, of a fine of $l, 300, will also be considered. Kansas City is determined to get justice in fhis case.

Under considerably brighter circum- stances the four Western clubs of the American Association have begun their second Eastern tour. The four clubs are decidedly in better condition to meetetheir rivals than when they were last here. Then the St. Louis Browns were far from thor oughly organized, havlng scarcely recov- cred from the loss of the five players, who were sold to the Brooklyns and Athletics. The Cincinnatis were, too, not in the best condition; while the Louisvilles were badly demoralized. Kansas City was there fore virtually the only team that could do anything, and they were not organized, as the players were gathered from different clubs.
 Now the Browns are in the lead for the pennant and arc working well together O'Neal is back in the field and is hitting the ball, and the batteries are doing fine work Devlin and Hudson are, however, 8 little indISpCsed, but will soon come around all right At Baltimore the Browns have shown up excellently and proved to be in harmony.
 There is one feature of the St. Louis teams work that is becoming noticeable as the season advances, and that IS that it never suCcumbs to the weaker clubs. For instance, Kansas City has beaten Brook lyn five games out of nine, but have only
 
 the Browns. Baltimore has only been able to win two out of eight from St. Louis, but has punished Brooklyn severely. Cleveland stood no show at all with the Browns, and the same can be said of Louisville, yet the "Colonels n gave Brook lyn drubbing, and Cleveland has done the same thing.
 The Cincinnatis are in good triAn, while it can safely be predicted that both Louis- vile and Kansas City will put up finer article of ball than when they first tried conclusions with the Eastern teams There has been marked improvement in the Kansas City club.
 A glance at the recent work of the East ern clubs clearly indicates that they arc not beginning to play the game they put up month ago, and unless all signs fail they will present rather crippled front to the Wester. teams. Weyhing and Seward the mainstays of the Athletic club, are both complaint of lame arms, while Brooklyn and Baltimore are in state of demoraliz- ation
 These facts seem to be borne out by the result of the games played thus far by the Western clubs on their second Eastern trip. Of the nine games played seven have beeu victories for the West.
 The Association standing is as follows:

New YORK Sure Tor 1t0rr1SO N.
New YORK. November I.-Fron
source not to be doubted it is
learned tonight that twenty-six
Democratic repeaters have been
spotted in this city by the detectives
employed by Chairman Quay, and
that before forty-eight hours this
political element will be behind the
bars, and the reward fund of the
National Committee proportions tely
smaller.
With New York as the battle
ground of the campaign, the ques-
ton is universally asked, SIS New
York safe for the Republican partyY
From the most positive source, from
a conservative estimate based upon
the most authentic information in
the possession of the Republican
State Committee, there is but one
answer. 1t is, careful canvass of
every county in the State, with an
allowance of 10 per cent. for pos
sible errors, shows an appar-
ent plurality of 1920 for Harrison
and Morton.

Democratic economy.

The Silver State and Chronicle
both call upon Mr. Bartine to ex-
plain why he stated at Wlnnemucca
that the salaries OF the watchmen at
tine Carson Mint had been reduced
from four to three dollars per day.
Mr.. Bartine authorizes US to say
that hs probably made the state
ment under an excusable misappre-
hension, and requests US to assure
the public in that connection, that
he will never again be betrayed
into the indiscretion of pointing out
= measure of Democratic economy
unless prepared to verify the infor-
nation with three or more affidavits.
The reason Mr.. Bartine had for
his statement was that the

Superintendent ordering decrease

he employees would resign and COM
'etent men could not be found for

Artful Work.

The Democrats have an artful
way of putting things; = way oil
carrying impression without making
assertions. Listen to this:
General Harrlson's past speeches
are giving him almost as much
trouble as his present speeches give
Boss Quay. His reference to Irish
men as penitentiary birds and only
fit to shovel dirt, is not likely to
solidify the Irish for anyone except
his opponent.-St. Louis Globe
Dispatch.
The above paragraph asserts
nothing, it merely insinuates, and
lnsinuatien il the weapon Of the
coward, pure and simple.
How easy it is to write such
stuff. For instance, any Republic
an paper could easily say:
"Slnce Cleveland defrauded a
poor shop in Albany out of twelve
dollars and half, and the fact be-
came known, the act is not likely
to solidify his vote among the in-
classes of America"
Any editor With no facts at his
can manufacture this sort
of stuff by the yard, but he never
stoops to do it unless he has no
facts on which to make an argu-
ment. Such trash fools no one but
! jay.
