INDEPENDENTS TURN OUT.
Hon. w. S. Pier Talks to a Large Crowd
From the Ninth and Tenth Wards.


An enthusiastic Independent Republican
meeting was held last night in Knights of St.
George Hall. Penn avenue, near Sixteenth
street. All of the Republicans of the Ninth
and Tenth wards seemed to have turned out en-
masse. consequently the large hall was COM
fortably filled. ]. H. Young presided and Sam
uel Hemp, William Lasher, Henry Leach. D.
Phillips. Robert 8. Morgan. Tohn Stigler,
Henry Asberry, William Phillips, 6. W. Stew
art, S. B. McClane. John Siebert, Henry Omert,
James Brown and Jacob Metz acted as Vice
Presidents. Chairman Young opened the
meeting in neat speech and introduced Hon.
w. S. Pier as the speaker OF the occasion.
Mr.Pier was warmly greeted when he stepped
out on the stage. He opened his address by
saying that he would tell why he intended to
support Mr.. Pattlson for Governor. He then
outlined the character of the Democratic nom
inee. which, he claimed, was as pure and un-
blemshed as that of any man in the country:
his term of Office before had proven his honesty
and integrity of motive in all of his gislative
career. The speaker then said that Della
matters character was entirely dissimilar; that
Delamater was comparatively unknown: he
had been chosen against the wishes of the
people of the State. Major Montooth General
Hastings and Charles W. Stone, men of known
and recognized competency, sought the nomi-
nation, but the will of the people. the speaker
said, had been dIsregaIde and Senator Quay
had nominee appointed.
THE only thing know Of" said the speaker,
that brought Mr.. Delamater before the public,
was his prominence in attempting to strangie a
bill while he was in the Sta'e Senate, which
made for the producers in this State possible
competition against that enormous monopoly,
the Standard Oil Company. The Republican
party represents the strength, nationality and
solidification of the country; the Democratic
party represents the principle of individual
liberty. There is good in both parties, and a
Republican should not be declared treacherous
If he cannot support the candidate of his
party"
The speaker concluded by stating that he
could not support the nominee of a man who
would only guarantee continuance of bossism.

Western Amateur Roners.

Speaking of the amateur rowers in the South
and West James a. st. John says: There are
several very promising men, and there is great
deal of interest shown in amateur boating
around St. Louis We have the Missouri Row.
ing Association, which is composed of six diff
ferent clubs think that there is as much in
terest shown in rowing in the West as there is
in the East There would be more but for the
fact that our races are held on Sunday and
some people do not approve of that 1t is neces-
sary. however on account of the nationality of
our population. Our best amateur sculler is
Fred Gastrich, who made the fastest time for a
mile and half ever made on the Charles river
by either professional or amateur at the last
time the national regatta was held there He
viii probably enter for next years national re-
Gatta, and don't see any reason why he should
not win the single event. He is as good as any,

Gastrich and Malcolm won the pair-oared race
at ChauJauqua, and also the championship at
the Northw estern and Mississippi Valley Row.

never been beaten in pair-oared racing. There
are no others who can compare with them,

OPINIONS WORTH READING.
Director II. b. Rae Returns From New
York and Talks Very Wisely.

Director III. B. Rae Returns From New
York and Talks Very Wisely.
Director H. b. Rae, of the local P. l. club,
returned from New York yesterday, where he
had been attending the baseball meetings. Mr.
Rae talked freely alb ut the situation yester-
day, and talked in wav worthy the attention
of all people directly in. . ,.ted IN the trouble.
During long conversatl "A, Mr.. Rae said:
Il am for consolidation. and there will be
consolidation. When arrived in New York l
found at once that everybody OF Importance
wanted consolidation; but a few hot-keads on
both sides foiled everything. 1t will come out
all right just as soon as these hot-heads have
had their kicking spell over. The New York
clubs have settled their trouble, and with the
exception of a kicker or two, the Brooklyn
clubs are all right. and we will all be all righ
after awhile The consolidation plan was
sprung TOO soon, but perhaps it is better that
we have the little explosions now aud get
through with them.
81 believe that the Players League has a
right for as many representatives on the Con-
ference Board as the National agreement
Leagues, but the Players League made a mis-
take in adding TO their committee before first
having 4 meeting with. the National League.
The Conference Committee had no absolute
power to settle anything definitely, and in view
of this TACT il was mistake 10 increase our rep
resentaliYes to six before the Conference Com
mittee had met o discuss the matter But it
had to be done. However, all will come right"
Mr.. Rae went Oh to say that despite the reso-
luton passed at Ne~ York, he thinks the Play
ers League meeting will be held in Pittsburg
on November II, instead of in Cincinnati Di-
rector Kerr, OF the local Players League club,
also declared himself strongly in favor of con-
solidatinn, he is heartily tired of all the nom
sense that has been gong on.
The opinions and statements of Mr.. Rae can
not but be pleasing to the vast number of peo-
pie who have the welfare of the national game
at heart. If everybody directly interested in
the matter say, like Mr.. Rae, this nonsense
must end and there will be consolidation, 1t will
certainly be done. Those who thus act will
merit the lasting thanks and gratitude of
baseball public that is fast becoming thorough
ly disguised.

A RAY OF HOPE.

Opinion to the Effect That the Baseball
War Will be Settled.
NEW YORK, october S-lt was thought
that when the National Baseball League closed
its meeting last night that the prospects for a
settlement of the baseball question looked
further off than ever. The appearance Of a
number of capitalists at the hotels to-day, how
ever gave rise to a rumor that affairs may be
patched up sooner than the public expects.
Chris Won der Abe was at he Fifth Avenue
Hotel and stated that he was merely staying in
the city to see how things were going. The
Players League, he said, might" be in session
and might" withdraw the players from a COM
mittee. Then. he said, every. hing would run
along smoothly. From this remark 1t might be
inferred that the players had weakened and
will concede the demands of the League.
Whether this is true or NOT could not be ascor-
tanned, as the members of the Players League
who have the power to speak were not about
the hotels

Grumbling at Harvard.

CAMBRIDGE, October 2S-There has been
some gfumblInS at Harvard lately about the
football team. and even Captain Cummock has
come in for his share of blame. The work of
the eleven has been anything but satisfactory
and has not improved during the last two
weeks. The men who have been laid up are all
at work again now. The great weakness of the
eleven at present is in the center men. In the
Williams game on Saturday shaw, '94 was the
snapbacK, and the Williams center rush did
about what he pleased with him. Shaw began
plaping only three weeks ago. If Cranston
were at center he could nut be improved upon.
but he is badlJ needed at guard Heard, who
is at the other guard. and likely to stay there
is SLOW. There are rumors, however, that Fin
lay 81, and Tratford will soon have place on
the team,

SOME FAST TRoTT1NG.
Anerton Goes a Mile in 2:14 on the Inde-
pendence Track.

<Ahcrtou UocS u ulie IN Ssl4 on buc Auuo-
pendence Track.
INDEPENDENCE, Ia, October 2S-The
specials to-day formed pleasing part of the
programme. Guy was brought out to beat his
record. He failed to make a new mark. how
ever, recording the mile in 2:l2z.
The next performance was Allerton, who
started to beat his record of 2:l51<. He was in
prime condition. and after a warming up. he
was sent of with runner. The great Jay
Bird colt stopped the watches at l.O713 at the
half mile, and the judge hung out 1:l4 as MS
time for the mile, reducing the time made by
Alabaster this track in August by lH
seconds, and proclaiming himself the king OF
4year-old stations.
The first of the regular races was the S-year-
OLD trot for horses eligible to 2:35. There were
ten starters, Gameleon selling favorite. Marx
Sirius won the first two heats handilyand then
went SO badly lame that he could scarcely get
to the stable and was drawn. After Sirius was
drawn the fight was between Crayon and
Gameleon, and was finally won by the latter.
Best time 2241%
The hIrd and concluding heat in the 2-year-
old trot, carried over from yesterday, was won
by Bamboo in 229lL
The $50 pace, WIN seven starters, was one OF
the most hOtly contested of the day, two heats
going TO the credit of Crescent, one to Joe l.
and two to Midnight, when darkness interfered
and it went over. Best time 2:22sz.
