Boston keeps long lead in the baseball field,
but il does not follow that it will keep it to the
end. The securing Of grounds for the New
York nine on their own island is likely to change

be thrust upon any club; it is only to be won
BY hard and honest work. 1t has not been won

nearly, il not quite. as good as that Of any of

direction and is calculated to do much toward
securing purity Of elections. Connecticut has
not been equal to its opportunity in this matter
this year, but the way has been paved for o
more adequate law when the next Legislature
meets in 1891.

and that he has no knowledge Of the political
inclinations Of seven of the twenty chiefs of
division already named. Let no more be heard
Of this ridiculous twaddle about politics and
projection in the census.
