The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1894-10-24


A PROMINENT HOuk Democrat
of this place was heard to remark n
few hours since that he was strick-
ly opposed to the majority rule sys-
tenn and he also said that every
HOuk man in this Congressional
district was uf the same faith
Sevierville Republican Star.
The above expression corrobo-
rates the general opinion Of the
people that Houk's campaign man.
ayers are notwillirgforthe majority
to rule. The actions of his mana
gers from the very start go to show
this to be true. Some of HOuk's
supporters in the primary declared
in advance he would be counted
out. This expression WAS made by
prominent men in this town, and
subsequent events shcw that it was
\ fOreg0ne conclusion. And now
they 60 further and say that if Glib
son is elected he will never be per.
mittcd TO take his seat in Congress
A gentleman from the Fourth
district stated to US last week that
a Gel tain Colonel, who comes to
this county from Knoxville as a
missionary for Houk, made the
same expression to him-that it
was no use to vote for Gibson, for If
he was elected he would not be per-
mitted to take his seat.
And it is reported that HOuk
himself is making the same threat
l.. his public speeches. What does
all this mean?
How do they know that Gibson
will not be permitted to to take a
seat in Congress? With what pow.
er is John Hsuk endowed that war
rants him or anyone else In making
such threats?
There is one thing that 1t does in
dictate, and that is "a realization O.
their weakness aud lack of faith
in their triumph at the polls. LEI
the people consider this matter
well, and then answer in November

does not appreciate favor because
he thinks he can do without it and
so they will not vote for him.

1t is conceded also that Judge
Gibson will sweep the country dis

with handsome majority. Where
then, is that 5000 or $500 or 1000

from? The registration figures, rs
far as received, indicate that not
more than 1000 votes will be cast

Does any sane man believe that
Judge Gibson will not get $500
votes in the county? He got near

jiill be the recognized honors in the

their respective winners to ranking

The championship committee, as ap-
pointed, includes William B. Curtis, of
New York, Warren NJ. Salisbury, Of

A peculiar interest attaches to this
carnival, owing to the recent whole
sale suspension of the so-called anna
teur boxers by the Metropolitan asso-
citation, and the consequent promi-
nence given to all contestants outside
of New York. The affair is strictly

Amateur athletes all over the coun.

nled for that day in Madison Square
garden, and the finals come ON the 22d.
The tournament will be governed by
the regular athletic amateur union
rules, and the representation of am
ateurs includes every state in the
union.
Sons amateurs have supposed that
the championships of the world will be
contested for, but it is the champion
ships of this country that are alone to
be settled. Director T. ". Sanger, Of
the Madison Square garden, is now
making elaborate preparations for this
carnival, and, comparatively distant as
the day still is, he predicts that the
amateur athletics will assemble on a
more imposing scale than has yet been.

New York city have rallied around the
committee, and the metropolis viii be
represented by the recognized leaders
of the sport. Maxwell e. More, of the,
New York Athletic club, has been
elected as referee, and Frank Peters,
of the Boston A. A., will be one Of the
Judges. and Ed W. Kearney, Of the
New York Athletic club, the other:
Thus all possibility of unamateur in-
6uences prevailing is eliminated
Many amateurs have been at q loss
to understand the terms according to
The Wichita daily eagle., 1894-03-13

which they may compete, yet the
modus operandi is unusually simple,
The entry form requires the name Of
the contestant and the events in which
he proposes to compete. Each com
petitor must certify, also, that he is an
amateur, according to the laws of the
A. A. q. of the United States, and must
certify, over the signature of the sec;
retary of his club, the last four per-
formances in which he took part.
OF these performances he must spec
ify the date, the event, Ii. e., its ma
ture), the winner, and the place won in
the amateur rank. Secretary Sullivan,
of the A. A. e., receives and files all
entry blanks.
The southerners ere preparing sever
al surprises for the carnival, but the
nature Of them is being carefully con-
cealed by the clubs of Jacksonville,
Mobile and New Orleans. 1t is stated
that in the feather-weight boxing con-
tests the Georgia amateurs are prepar-
ing to do great things, but 1t is hardly
likely that the prestige already won
by Pittsburgh in this line will be low
cred. The spirit of the affair is to give
a chance to the hitherto little-known
men. and there is, hence, a general
reluctance to make predictions as to
whether any one city will get more
medals than another. There are many
amateurs in New England who seem
likely to give the New Workers hard
tussel for the wrestling tournament
championships, but in the New York
Athletic club it seems to be the opinion
The Wichita daily eagle., 1894-03-13

that the metropolitans viii win pretty
much whatever there is to win.
That the friends of amateur sport
will crowd to the garden during the
continuance of the carnival has al
ready been evidenced by the advance
auction sale of boxes. Manager San
ger has already been telegraphed to in
this connection, by amateur club men
in San Francisco and Chicago. Other
friends of the sport who viii attend are
President Weeks, of the Mercury Foot
club, "Abe" Hummel, the litigious
friend of host of the contestants, A.
G.. Mills, Charles Burnham and others,
as noted.
The meetings Of the official commit
tees Of many of the western athletN
organizations will be held in New
York during the progress Of the
tournament, and the result is that,
during the latter part of March, there
will be in New York the representative
men Of the amateur world. A list Of
the delegates would be catalogue of
the prominent figures in the athletic
directory. 1t is not unlikely that some
new code will be formulated with
reference to the standing of athletes,
with reference to professional and
amateur contests. This course is de-
sirable, in order to end many petty dis
putes that at present are arousing
much bitterness among athletes all
over the country.
The arrangements in the amphi-
theater are all that could be wished,
from the spectators point of view.
The seating accommodation viii be
distributed strictly in accordance with
the rules of precedence, and friends Of
contestants will have ample opportun-
ity Of seeing not only fair play, but of
judging for themselves how fair. in
their opinion, the referees decisions
are. In this respect the show promises
to outdo all other fistic and wrestling
carnivals ever arranged.
There will be no deviation from anna
teur rules for any person or club.
The Wichita daily eagle., 1894-03-13

Ing, IN effect, the professional classes,
1t is impossible to predict, but it is
pertain that amateur standards will in
no respect be changed
Of the most noted figures In amateur
sport, the majority promise to come
from Boston, Pittsburgh, Chicago,
Philadelphia and Detroit. There will
be Keen Fitzpatrick, of the Michigan

still unknown to the country at large,

which we have ourselves enjoyed, TO lay
aside political prejudice and sectional hate,
and unite with US in the defense Of our
homes, and the rights Of manhood.
Resolved, That we hold this country and

WHEREAS, We have learned that q bill

United States providing for the retirement
Of Judge Foster, Judge of the United States
district court for the district Of Kansas, and
for placing the said Judge Foster upon the
retired list Of judges with q pension Of

suitable circumstances, when such office has
been held for an unbroken period Of twenty
years; and
WHEREAS, The present financial and IN
dustrisl conditions are suCh that the strict
est economy in the expenditures Of the gov

pose of earning the neoessaries of life and
seeking in vain; and that thousands are de-
pending upon the uncertain charity of
those who consider the unemployed laborer
an enemy TO society, or lie down at night

earnest opposition to said bill; and that
they earnestly work by voice and vote for
the defeat of said bill.

IndOrse Judge Caldwell.

At the regular meeting of the Trades
and Labor assembly Of Topeka, Friday
evening, committee was appointed to
indorss the position taken by Judge
Caldwell in the reduction of wages by
the receivers Of the Union Pacific. The
committee has drafted the following as
its memento of one whom it thinks the
wage Garner should bear in memory:
WHEREAS, To take from the wsge-earner
his inRlienable right Of suffrsge-the priv
aleg to discuss and arbitrate the equitable
division Of the products Of his labor would
be but to reduce him TO condition little
less than the Russian servitude; and
WRBREAs, Judge Caldwell, in his recent
decision regarding our fellow craftsmen
employed on the Union Pacific system, has
decided that such should not and can not
with his consent be the case;
Resolved, That the Topeka Trades and
Labor assembly heartily congratulate Judge
Caldwell on the stand he has taken on these
questions of vital interest and mutual ben
eft TO all trades, and tender to him the
greatest reward q wage Garner has TO offer
our cordial wishes for future prosperity.
Resolved, That we deem il the duty of all
brothers of whatever trade in life TO keep
green in memory those friends who prove
true TO them in the hour of need and to en-
shrine the name Of Judge Caldwell as
among the foremost.

School Fund Frauds.

The school fund sensation started by
Topeka politicians in their effort to
bring discredit upon the present board
of commissioners has developed another
item which dates back to 1890, when the
board was purely republican. The rec

were drawn by the commissioners for
$3.50, for which there is no record OF
