Wards Giants Make It Three Straights
 From the Pennant Winners.

POLO GROUNDS, NEW YORK, Oct. G. The Orioles were given a perfect ovation when they stepped upon the polo grounds today to play the third game of the Temple cup series. As the yello stockn ged champions came out on the grounds at2:3O o'clock for practice there was tremendous cheers and hand ciappiug. which they &C., knowledged by doffiog their caps.
 Even Burkeville rose from the bleechers and yelled them welcome. The attention of those rooters, however, was directed to Burke. who, back in his own district, was engaging in little preliminary work. Every time he caught the ball he was greeted with roars of applause. Even as early as 2:30 o'clock the stands were rap- idly filling until there was every evidence of there being one of the largest crowds of the season. By clock all tiie seats in the grand stand and bleachers were occu- pied and the people were still pouring in through the gates. At the opening fully 22, ,000 people were ready to root for the vc- torious giants.
 A ter. tie Orioles had finished their practice, every good play of which was partially applauded by the good natured crowd, the Catholic protectory band marched from the stand across the field. They formed ill front of the club house and when Captain Ward and his team came out they struck up lively march. Tremen- dous cheers greeted the returning yictors. Such q war of applause has seldom been heard On the polo grounds. The team bowed acknowledgement again and again. Rusc, the great Aoosier twirler, was with them. Meekin carried the big white flag, iettered "1o Victory" which was the mark for so many missiles in Baltimore.

Of Alleged Frauds in the Con- gressionaI Primary-A Mass
 Meeting at Anniston.

ANNIsToN. Oct. 6 Especial. IA largely attended mass meeting of democrats was held here tonight to discuss the fraud al- legged 10 have been committed in the con- gressional primaries in Tallndega county last Tuesday, by which Captain Plowmau received the nomination, and to take some action, but upon the reading of 8 telegram sent to the Hot Blast by e. A. Joiner of Talladega, a friend of Plowman, the meet ing adjourned without action. The tele- gram was as fslIows:
 'sCaptain Plowman has sent the follow ing telegram to Messrs. Robbins and Cald- well land requested the chairman to take such steps as may be necessary in the premises: 'In view of the statement pub lished in the Anniston Hot Blast of Octo- Der 5, questioning the regularity of my nomination as the result of the democratic primary in the Fourth Congressional dis trict, respectfully request that you unite with me in requesting the chair man to convene the democratic state executive committee at the earliest possible moment to pass upon the matter. l do not desire the nomination unless fairly secured, and if the state committee decide that improper method has been employed to secure my nomination l am willing at its behest to retire in favor of any quali- fled democrat who may be recommended by the committee. The interest of the party rises higher than that of any indi- vidua1, and am not willing that any per- sonal ambition of mine should imperil the harmony or integrity of the party, in whose service the best years of my life have been spent.'
 Colonel Caldwell and MT. Robbins, the other two candidates, have joined in the request for an immediate hearing by the state committee.

thereby avert the placing of a state ticket in the field by tae Fairchild Grace Shep- herd element, now called the state democ- racy.
 It is generally understood that Senator Hill favored reconciliation at Saratoga, but was overruied, and that now that he is h position 10 dictate terms, he will demand this AS the condition oi his acceptance.
 William c. Whitney and ether leaders are working to accomplish this mucn of harmony. and as write it looks as if they will be successful so far as New York city is concerned, but at meeting of the Shep- herd element of Brooklyn they have al- ready denounced the action of the Saratoga convention and Hill's candidacy, and the prospect for harmony in Kings county seems to be doomed.
 The betting on the success of the repub- lican state ticket Is 100 to SO, and the odds in favor of Tammany's success is as to 1. The chances are that the odds may change, and if Hill succeeds in his plans for har- mony the betting may be reversed.
 Flower is the victim of expediency. He appointed Maynard to the judgeship at Hills requ st and to pay his debt and to vindicate the closing acts of his adminis- tnat.on, and it was Hill who demanded Maynard's nomination for the bench by his party. The whole Maynard business was q party blunder, and was repudiated by an avalanche of votes at the last elec- ton. Flower has been sidetracked, and the man ana men whom ne served nave thrown the mantle of leauership on the shoulders of the real friend of Maynard, who staked all on his vindication. If it were not expedlent to nominate Flower, will it be cxpedient for those who repudi- ated his loyalty to Hill and Maynard to vote for Hill, who was really respopsiSle for Maynard-is the question for the voters who repudiat,d him.
 This is the essence of the struggle now going on between tte conflicting forces in New York city politics tonight, and 1t re : mains to be seen whether Hill can succsed and save himself, and leave Tammany to an unaided fight for continued municipal control. If Hill succeeds in this there is strong probability of avoiding what other wise looks like his Waterloo, and nobody knows and sees it more clearly than Hill, and no man in American public life is greater in resources in mastering the diffi- cult situations always present in New York politics.
