Mr.. Lamar, will not be candidate
for the vice-presidency, and the South
is not making any threats about reject
ing him. We are in no staggering at
titude. We are waiting quietly to see
what the Senators are going to do. If
they reject him, all right-we cannot
help it; but the country will make it
warm for the party which has its ex-
istence in tearing OPEN sectional
wounds, and appealing to sectional
passion. II Atlanta Constitution, Dem.

OUR TEAM VICTORIOUS.
Contest Between the Los Angeles
and the Pioneer Clubs.

ana the FlOneer CluDSs
SAN Francisco, January 2S.-
The defeat of the Pioneers by the
Los Angeles club this afternoon was
due to series of errors in the last in
ming whereby the latter secured two
runs. The Pioneers held the lead up
to the last inning. The game was not
brilliant one, as the condition of the
grounds was not proper for sharp field
ing. Mccarthy pitched for Los An
geles, and though little wild his
box-work was good. He held the
Pioneers down to five scattering hits.
Whitehead carried off the honors for
the visitors, batting three singles,
making it to 4.
The Los Angeles club will contest
with the Greenhood and Morans to-
morrow afternoon at the Haight street
grounds. Van Haltren and Brown
will form the battery for the Oakland
ers and Whitehead and Stockwell for
Los Angeles.

1t is unjust to Mr.. Randall to say
that he opposes any tariff reduction.
His opposition to the two Morrison
bills did not prove this, but the fact
that he prepared tariff reform bill
last session contradicts it. The fur
ther fact that he now stands ready to
unite with MIR. Carlisle in forming
such bill as can be passed this ses-
sion, and one that will effect all
needed reduction and unite the Dem
ocratic party, emphatically proves
that it is not true that he is an OBJ
structionist to all tariff legislation.

Meeting of the Interstate

FREIGHT TARIFF DISCUSSED.
Informal Debate Regarding Civil
Service RefOrm-Crane'S
Proposition.
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatches to the HERALD


WASHINGTON, January 2S.-At thu
opening of the days session of the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
Albert Fink, Commissioner of the
Trunk Line Association, was recalled
and cross-examined. In the course Of
his examination Fink stated that he
had lately made careful computation
of the cost of handling local freights,
and had found, as rule, that short
hauls of certain classes of miscellan-
eous freight were accomplished at an
actual loss, in view of the terminal ex.
penses of loading and unloading.
In response to an inquiry Fink
stated that the committee, represent
ing the roads west of Chicago, has
been for several months in communi-
cation with the committee from the
Trunk Line Association, with view
Of the adoption of a uniform classified
ton OF the whole territory.
He also stated that the roads south
of the Ohio river had expressed them
selves as anxious to join a similar
movement, and that in all probability
a meeting of representatives of the
roads would soon be held in the in
terest of this movement.
OPPOSITION STATEMENTS.
AT the conclusion OF Fink's testi-
mony, Peter A. Dey, chairman of the
Iowa State Board of Railroad Com
missioners, and appearing at the re-
quest OF the Governor of Iowa, asked
for and received permission to address
the Commission in opposition to the
petitioners complaints. He claimed
that carload was the natural unit
for freight which required car
loads, and that 100 pounds was the
natural unit for less than carloads.
To abolish carload rates would, he
said, place Western jobbers, SO far as
their customers were concerned, at
disadvantage OF at least 10 cents per
100 pounds as compared with the
New York jobbers. This difference,
he thought, would enable the three
complaining firms in this case to close
every jobbing house in the West.
The hearing then closed. Counsel
will submit the briefs for the consid-
Grafton OF the committee.
