Creeden, of the First ward, and Andy
Brennan, of Lsnigans, had trial of fistic
supremacy last night and the barber sham
pooed his opponent in the seventh round.
So
Creeden is gaining considerable notoriety
in sporting circles. A few days ago a
newspaper announced that he was anxious
to wrestle any $50 pound man in the
county, catch h-as-catch-csn, for 800 side.
Last night young man from Girardville
called at Tom Moskler's and said he was
anxious to take up the challenge. Moakler
turned ten dollar bill off his money
making machine and slapped it down on
the counter to tie match and said he
would back Creeden with all the money
the machine could make. The Girardville
young man took water and left the place.
-
The amusing feature of the challenge is
that Creeden is not candidate for honors
in the wrestling arena and Moakler's offer
of forfeit was only blutf.

But there is much dissatisfaction (notwith-
standing the bulk of the ticket is strong
one) expressed by representatives Of that
party from nearly every quarter, especially
the farming districts. The nomination of
Judge Pershing was so apparently the out
come of deal arranged by his willy man
ayers and backed by corporate power that
many old-time Democratic warriors will
make a still hunt to defeat him. 1t is not
charged that he set up the combinations
himself; but he knew of them is believed
to be more than true. The Judge is a way
back politician of no mean ealibre, veri-
table heavy gun in political battery. He
knew he was slated with Reilly and
Jimmy Ryan, and he also knew he was
slated with Shepherd and Jimmy" Ryan,
which proves our refutation of the Jour
'iaFs charge that John w. Ryon was the
one who had entered into combines. The
fact is John w. Ryon was beaten because
he had not done the very thing the Journal
charged him with. Had he selected a
lively running mate like ex-senator King,
of Mahanoy City, to go for the Congress
sional stake they would have distanced
Pershing and Reilly in the first heat and
left them at the quarter pole. Ryon's
strength was $500 votes and he only
needed $50 and King could have brought
him over a thousand.

BERLIN. Nov. 12.-Many German papers

The Fosstsche Zsitung says America is the
greatest nation OF the world because she
has no reason to either ask for or fear any,

may be modified. Some OF them point
out that the tariff has done less harm TO
