fight for principle, adding that If the
opposing parties wish to fuse to
defeat the Populists, to let them do 90.
This is sound advice. II i had

would have been better-not, per.
haps, for those partisans who sought

it would have demonstrated to .
certainty that the silver question is
the strongest issue before the people.
BY fusing with the Democrats, it was
made evident that the object of the
party's existence would be to elect
Grover Cleveland, and thousands upon
thousands of silver Republicans aud
Democrats thereupon concluded to
vote with their old party.
When conteuding for principle,
no attention should be paid or AZ.

The Three Big Events Agitating New
Yorkers-HOw Maher Played the Cur
why Judge Newton Got Angry-
A Glove Fight That Was q Fight.

"A VbVVO UoS w - y Clk W.
Special Correspondence Of the T1nEs.l
NEW York, Dec. %, 1892.
Peter Maher is OF the opinion that
there is still one or two good fights
left IN him, but he will have the most
difficult task of his life to perform
whom he tries to convince the Coney
Island Club or tho New York public
that he has any license to live.
M.her WAS just thick enough to make
the remark in Warren Lewis saloon
that he could have stayed in front OF
Goddard q couple of rounds more, but
then what WAS the use, as Goddard
had him whipped? 1t was q clean
acknowledgment that he WAS not
knocked out, but that he lay there like
. our and allowed himself to DO
counted out, when no was merely
knocked down. A man who would
DO guilty of such cowardly work as
this ought to be tarred and feathered
and drummed out of the country.
Peter evidently has q tender and af>
fectionste regard for money, but as
much Is he loves 1t, he does not care
to take what he considers an I'M
necessary risk in spelling his coun-
tenanoe. When he can earn $1,000
10 fraction over two rounds and not
get hurt very much At that, he does
not see why he should be greedy and
take any further punishment, with the
vague hope of getting 4650o in case
he licked the other fellow. The Irish
lad was philosophical. He was sure
winner Of the short end and that was
good enough for him. Peter re-
membered the old saying, "He who
fights and runs away lives to fight
another day."
"That US d to be the caper but it
don't 60 now" No matter how
many good, honest hardworking Irish
men backed Maher for the sake OF the
old soil, it made no difference to
Peter. As they all got thrown down
together, even to Dave Holland, who
bet nearly everything he had down to
his socks, that Maher would win.
Holland was his hacker and not only
brought him over from the old ooun-
try for this fight, but paid oil his
training expenses. Still Maher has
the sudaoisy to say there is couple
of good fights left in him and that he
would have fought couple of more
rounds with Goddard. Some men
have little shame in them but Maher
has none whatever. He thinks to
''lav down" for the short end of
purse is extremely cute aud very
funny.
1t Is very evident that Baxter, Eng
lands crack feathcrweight. either is
not anxious to fight Johnny Griffin
or else be Is DESTROYS of proiiting by
tho experience Of Peter Maher.
When he agreed to fight for tho $4,000
purse offered by the Coney Island
Club and the $3.50 were sent to him
Tor expenses, it WAS thought that the
msktes vas oil settled. The "grab

THE BRIGGS BEREsY CASE.
Moderator Bliss sustsins tho Defendant
Contentious.


Contentious.
New York, Dec. 5.-In the Briggs
case today the defendant submit
ted his evidence, which was even
more voluminous than the prosecutions
When he finished reading his address
Colonel McCook arose and demanded
that the defendant be sworn as to the
testimony he had read, in conformity
with the book. Briggs said the prose-
cution wanted the advantage of cross.
examining him before he submitted his
own oral evidenuo; this wsa the most
outrageous course OF conduct he ever
heard proposed. McCook did not think
IL an outrage, and would wave the point,
but would like to have his exception
saved. After come further discussion,
Moderator Bliss decided that Briggs
distinction between oral and documen-
tary evidence was well taken. This
brought down an avalanche of applause
and some hisses, both from the body OF
the hall and from the galleries.
DR.. Payson became greatly excited
and said if the exhibition was repeated,
he would insist that the galleries be
cleared. McCook offered an exception
to the moderator's decision. DR.. Francis
Browns motion that the decision be
accepted as that Of the presbytery was
carried by large majority. DR.. Birch,
chairman of the prosecuting committee,
began the case for the prosecution, but
had not proceeded far when a recess was
taken until tomorrow.
