Yesterday.

The Bangors came to town yesterday
for little exercise on Adelaide Park and
they went home last evening feeling as
though they had il. The game was 10
innings and it was won by the home team
because they made six runs in that
inning off the Bangor's tired out pitcher.
1t wasn't much credit to the Grays to win
this game for they ought to wallop the
life out of a club made up OF unknown
players from n city like Bangor. Provi-
dence is represented in an important
league and il it is to be heard from in the
race with credit 10-inning games
with clubs of the calibre OF Bangor
ought to be an impossibility. The
visitors played almost as good ball as the
Grays. Sullivan appeared TO be feeling
more like a pitcher, and but for Hart's
record home run in the eighth, he was
only hit safely in one other inning.
Catcher Davis covered first Ikea veteran
while Stricken worked like a beaver at
second. The home team played perfect
fielding game, no errors having been
made except by Sullivan, and only one
Bangor sailed in with the evident
intention OF annihilating the
home team. Up to the fourth
inning they were sent out without score,
but at last Kirmes started the ball off to
the field for a beautiful double hit,
O'Connell and McTigue followed
with singles and Hart cleared
fence. This was the end of their heavy
batting, however, the runs that tied the
score in the ninth having been made on
errors.
In the tenth inning Meakins, who had
pitched a good game, weakened, and the
home team found no trouble in making
its last six runs. The score was:

and from the mining districts. where the
idea had firmly lodged that the Peoples party
was the only silver party, and that Waite was q
sincere, honest man, fighting the corrupt gang
in Denver. Much Of the vote OF the country
districts was drawn away from Waite during
the closing hours of the campaign, when the
real facts Of Waiteism were made clear.
1t was this issue that carried the women SO
largely over to the Republican party. The Re-
publican managers seized early in the campaign
the plea OF law and order' as a means Of Sc
curing the independent vote. Therefore. tho
success Of equal suffrage as a political propo-
sition has not yet been determined further than
this: That when q great issue which appeals to
woman's natural love OF decency is presented,
women will unite regardless of party to further
the cause OF good government.
The total vote in Colorado was in round num-
bers 156, 900 this year. Two years ago IL was
$4,000, although 1892 was a Presidential year
and there was n strong desire to make a stand
for the silver cause. Furthermore, times were
good in 1892, and the mining districts were more
populous than at this election. Last week Nc

Prohibition vote this year was l.ls2 and the
Democratic lisa. McIntyre's majority was
1925, and Helms two years ago was only l6l.
These figures indicate that the almost unani-
nous interest of the city OF Denver was
to defeat Waiteism. All other issues were
ignored. The almost total humiliation OF the
Democratic vote was due 10 this cause. The
phenomenal increase in votes over two years ago
does not indicate IN increase in population in
Colorado. Facts ~disproye that. The women
