OF THE NEW YORK BASE BALL CLUB.

Now that the Giants have won the
pennant, is the time to honor the cap
tain who has led them TO the distinc-
ton. William Ewing is the man, of
whom the portrait appears above.
Conspicuous as the chief man among
the players when they are on the
field, he is also one of the most hard
working men on the team. He is a
sure catch, and, day after day, con-
tlnues efficient in this most ardnous
branch of the game.
The New York club has him as its
own man of long standing, but Ewing
is a western man by birth, and it was
in the west that he learned to play.
He was born in Cincinnati about thir-
ty years ago. In 1878 he began to
play ball, and was connected with
the leading amateurs of his native
city in that and the following season.
This early experience included asso-
citation with the Mohawk Browns,
the champions of Southern Ohio.
Ewing played with the Buck
eyes, of Cincinnati, in the early
part of 1880. His professional life be-
gan in June, that year, with an en-
gagement on the Rochester team.
Three months later he joined the
Troy club. He con tinued with them
until they disbanded in 1882. Buck"
Ewing, as he is generally called, has
been five seasons with the Giants. He
is unsurpassed as a catcher, and plays
well in any position. His success is
the reward of hard work, and superior
skill, with the quality of leadership.

these fellow citizens of his long
enough to be known by them, and
they know that when he announced
his acceptance of the nomination
rendered him by the repu blican con-
vention, on business grounds and not
on the ground of political partisan
shin. that he meant exactly what he
said in that letter of acceptance, no
more. no less.
Col. Belknap has been identified
with every public movement for the
building up of this city, ana TINS
county, and this section of state, THAT
has been made for the past hfteen
years and has pioneered the way for
more of these improvements than
any man in the city.
There has been no effort made, abor-
tive or successful, to induce manutac-
turing plants to locate here; TO bring
in railway lines or establish shops or
mills: to improve our carrying facill-
ties or cheaper our freight charges; to
induce capital to embark in local en-
terprises; to establish immigration
agencies; to organize live stock asso-
Citations or carry forward exposition
enterprises; to open up the vast south
west to the knowledge of the older
states, or to improve in any way the
municipal administration of this city,
that has not found Col. Belknap in
the van.
No man has a profounder conviction
than he has of the need of a protective
policy on the part of congress to foster
the infant industries of the south, to
establish her manufacturing enter
prises upon solid foundation, to
maintain the scale of wages for Ameri-
can workingmen above the pauper
rates of Europe and Asia, to assure
our wool, meat and grain producers OF
the needed protection against Austria
liam, Egyptian and South American
competitions, to enable our mining in
terests to shape themselves into Or
ganized condition in order that the
vast mineral wealth of this state and
of this district may be properly ana
profitably developed. 1t is because OF
this, and because these gentlemen
who have so long known Col. Bel
KNAPP, know that he is welded heart
and soul to the development of south
west Texas, that he is broad, liberal,
wide-awake and progressive, caring
more for the business interests OF this
district than for partisan politics.; it is
because of these things that they have
endorsed Col. Belknaps candidacy
and ask the intelligent voters of the
district, irrespective of party, to lay
aside party feelings, as they have done,
and support this nomination at the
polls, as a business necessity in the
present condition of industrial affairs.

WHY COL. UPSON DECLINED.

The LIGHT has had occasion recent
ly to state that it had been looking
for a protectionist democrat to take
the field in this district, and it would
gladly have supported such nomina-
ton. Hon. Columbus Epson was the
distinguished gentleman to whom the
LIGHT and many others looked for an
active leadership in this matter, and
there would have been no doubt of his
election had he consented to serve.
Now that matters have changed some
what, it is in order to reproduce the
views of Mr.. Epson upon this question
of protection and his reasons for de-
clining to run as set forth in his letter
to the Times of this city not long
since.
"While feel grateful to my friends
for the high compliment of soliciting
me to become candidate for congress,
representing the principles of wise
and equitable adjustment of our tar
if laws, with view thereby of rails
ing so much revenue as may be re-
uuisite to meet the wants of the
general government economically adj
ministed, and, at the same time,
give ample protection to all classes
of American labor, in work shop and
field, and foster and afford, for the
public good and general welfare of
our people, needed and fair encOur-
agement and protection to all Amer
lean industries, my professional and
private duties compel me to decline
becoming candidate for any office.
I am not unmindful of, or Indifferent
to, the necessity of determined eff
fort on the part of our people to stifle
and forever silence the free trade
craze" which has already crippled,
and still threatens ruin to some OF
the most important industries of our
state and country, and If successful,
must result in the reduction of the
wages and the debasement of the con-
ditiOn of American laborers to the
servile and wretched standard of the
pauperized labor of Europe.
/ fully accord with the sentiment,
believing it to be fundamental prin-
ciple of our government that it is due
to the people of this, as we'll as of all
other congressional districts. that they
should have a representative in con-
gress who will respect and fearlessly
stand by their public interests and
that all proper efforts to that end
should be encouraged.
Very respectfully,
&. UPSON.
This letter practically faces the
honorable gentleman, whose plain,
straightforward letter appears above,
towards the support of the nomination
made last Saturday. That letter, the
deliberate utterance of one of the most
prominent and certainly one of the
ablest democrats in this district, is
commended to the earnest considera-
ton and candid examination of every
protection democrat in the tenth con-
gressIonal district. Those words are
full of the wisdom of direction, and
every democrat who consults the in
terest of this district, as we'll as every
wool and stockman, will do wisely
and well in needing them.
