New York Takes Another of the Worlds
 Championship Games.

<hafnplonShfp Games.
 BROOKLYN, Oct. 2o.-The large New York contingent which braved the elements and came over to this city to see the fourth game o[ the worlds championship series between New York and St. Louis were deeply clisap- pointed and very gloomy when they saw the tfiants' cold battery, Crane and Brown, take their positions But their gloom was soon turned to joy, for a better game in the points mas seldom or ever been seen in this city Cranes twists were marvellous and his speed terrific. He had the Browns as completely at his mercy as Keefe ever had, and Brown caught the greatest game of his ide, one of which Ewing might we'll feel proud. The Browns thought they had a snap in this game, and started in stealing bases with their old dash. They quickly got over this, as Browns throwing was so quick and accurate that four out of five attempts to steal second resulted in put outs, and the nfth should have been out, but Richardson muffed the throw. The game throughout in spite of rain, which fell part of the time was fully up to the high standard set in the previous contests, and the New Workers went home delighted. Following is the summary {: New York k1 4 n I n n n n-s St. Louis. ...........O 0 0 0 9 o-3

 BOSToN's BIG DEAL
 BOSTON. Oct. 20.-Director Billings of the Bostons, has gone to New York to arrange terms with the Detroit players who are eligible to sign contracts. Brouthers will undoubtedly cover first base and Richard son second, while Bennett and Ganzell will go behind the bat It has been conundrum what Boston would do with Jim White. Director Billings said: 'We took White because we didn't want him left. As to his position, he will play right field when Kelly is behind the bat n The current story is that the price for the five Detroiters is S30O OOO, but these figures. while approximate, may not be exact. The Boston management have not yet obtained all they want They want captain, and If they can so arrange it John Ward will be the man. Ward, shortstop and captain" is what MT. Billings has now in mind.

THE SAME OLD ROT.

While there may have been ten thousand
people in Ottawa on Thursday, in attend
ance on the big republican splurge, and
while the afternoon and evening process
sions were most creditable and successful
displays, the speaking end Of the perform
ance was an indubitable failure. The main
speech was from the stand In Washington
square In the afternoon, by Shelby NJ.
Cullom, who was heard by less than two
thousand people. In the evening the
torch.light procession lasted until ten
O clock, and after that the audiences that
gathered at the opera house to hear the
Hon. B. C. Cook, and at Turner hall to hear
Col. Plumb, were necessarily thin, FESTIVE,
tagged and listlsss, and the speakers seem,
ed to labor under corresponding naturally
resulting depression.
We heard but part of the speaking and
none Of that worth the least attention, ,ex

THE COUNTY TICKET.

In the heat OF the contest over the "head
Of the ticket" there has not been much of
anything said on either side as to the coun'
ty ticket. II has been taken for granted
by the democracy that their local ticket
will be elected without a doubt; and that
will no doubt be the result; yet It is just as
we'll to bear In mind that the opposition
are paying fully as much attention TO tina,
end of their ticket as to the head. They
are even making pretensions now to being
able to carry it through; and they certainly
will spare no effort to do 30.
There is no reason why any man on the
republican ticket should be elected, even
did the republicans have majority in the
county. In no case have they named men
equal in merit to those on the democratic
ticket; their strongest men are inferior in
natural ability and vastly 80 In experience
TO the democratic nominees: the worst that
can be said of any nominees on the demo-
cratic ticket can be said In all candor, hon
esty and truthfulness Of their nominees
Any weaknesses the democratic ticket may
present to some men are cOunterbalanced
by equal or greater weaknesses on the re-
publican ticket. There is, indeed, not one
single solitary man on the ticket for whom
the republicans can claim better man. :"
There is, therefore, no reason why any
voter who wants to vote for the "best man"
need make a single scratch on the demo
cratic ticket; and every reason why he
should scratch every man on the republican
county ticket.
AsaU. s. Senator will be elected by the
next Legislature, the democrats should
make the special effort on that account to
elect both the democratic candidates, as
we'll az for the further reason that they are
to the district more useful men. Browne
was confessedly more useful to the county
than Sawyer, and the fact that he of all
men in the house was responsible for the
defeat of the villainous Chicago sewerage
scheme ought to undoubtedly elect him.

ton of trained, cool.headed, thinking

There is not one single solitary farm
product that has not equally declined. The
depreciation has been natural 1t has
simply kept pace with the depreciation the
world over, and is traceable to the opening
up of new sources of supplies In this
country as we'll as Australia, India, Egypt,
South America, Russia, Siberia, &C.; 50
that the grossness Of the attempt to deceive
the American farmer by such tales of bet
ter prices for him because of the tariff is so
apparent II could deceive no one but a
consumate ignoramus. A man who ex-
poets an audience to believe 1t, by the very
attempt proclaims them parcel of fools.
The undeniable fact remains that the
market for American farm produce is rap
idly and surely being reduced in size.
The capital of the old world, given the op-
portunity by the American doctrine that a
foreign consumer should be repealed in
stead of invited to trade with us-is open
ing up sources OF supplies in the countries
named which have already taken away
from the American farmer his supremacy
In the European market. Today the Ryot
of India Is as powerful as he. When the
Ryot instead of blowing with wooden
pillow and threshing with fail or bullock g
feet. shall ride sulky pillow and thresh by
steam, the American farmer, II the repub-
lican commercial policy of exclusion shall
be continued, will exchange places with
the Ryot Of India and the Fellah OF Egypt.
The worlds markets for agricultural pro.
ducts are, under the present American
commercial system, one by one slipping
away from the American farmer; and If
our laws shall continue to make war on
trade as they have In the past, the Ameri.
can farmer is now living who will see him
self confined exclusively to home mar
Ike. and himself In scarce worse condition
than the slave Of the fifties.

The Republican yesterday morning pur-
ported to Issue challenge TO joint debates
of local speakers on the tariff or any other
subject. This Is exceeding thin, especially
when a standing challenge Of the Am.
Tariff Reform League has remained unan,
swered for many weeks. However, II the
republicans are serious, let their central
committee address such q challenge to the
democratic central committee. Although
the time Is short, the FREE TRADER has no
doubt their kids can be accommodated.

elect Hon L. w. BREWER 10 be member
Of congress The whole sum and SUBJ
stance Of this contest is simply . matter Of
taxation. The hue and cry Of free trade
and protection is but wasted effort In view
|of the fact that the question is not one of
free trade or protection At all, but simply
one Of less .drdtion. That the reduction
Of the tariff from Al per cent to AZ per cent
sndangers protection no sane man believes
but that reduction, being In chief on the
necessarles Of life and on raw materials,
would bring a degree Of relief directly
and Indirectly TO the great body Of con.
sumers, and to farmers In particular, upon
whom the largest proportion Of II falls. II
would reduce taxes little, and little is a
good deal nowadays. This policy Mr..
Brewer favors. And being in favor of
this, Mr.. Brewer should receive the sup
port of every man who desires less taxa
tion upon himself and who is opposed to
the further accumulation of surplus
which Is both unnecessary and also threat
ems financial disaster TO the business world
and tempts congress 10 demoralizing ex-
travsgance In every direction. On these
points, Mr. Brewer can be trusted to vote
In the interests OF the peopls-the farmers
and the laboring men.
As to his ability to represent this great
district In congress, no man can doubt. He
Is fitted for 1t by education, temperament
and habits. He is a hard worker at any
thing he undertakes, as his canvass has
amply demonstrated and being thoroughly
Informed on the matters of vital concern to
this district, which must come up for legis'
lative action by congress, this capacity for
hard work and his thorough preparation for
the work pre-eminently fit him for the Of
flee for which he has been named.
Nor is his election "forlorn hope" by
any means. The canvass has shown an un-
mistakable desire, on the part of the farm
population, particularly, for a reduction, of
taxation; and the knowledge that IL elected
Mr.. Brewer will do what In his power lies
to bring about such reduction Of taxation
as the necessities of the U. s. treasury will
permit will draw TO him large vote out
side of his own party. The promise of
this support has been so marked that there
is a substantial foundation for the belief
that by a serious and united effort his cleo
ton can be achieved. In this county he
ought TO have at least 900 majority and he
can have 1t If the proper effort Is exerted /;
and II the polls of the other counties of the
district may be taken as an indication of
the vote that will be cast In November,
