THE RING.

WASHINGTON, Oct 2.-"Nobody
knows any better than myself said
Champion Corbett last night, 'that
when 1 meet F'itzsimmons in Texas
am going to have the hardest fight of
my career. Consequently, have been
taking good care of myself despite re-
ports to the contrary, and my condi-
ton today is such as to justify the
confidence reposed in me by my back
ers. 1t was a surprise to myself how
little fatigue ! felt after my perform
ance at Madison Square garden Mon
day evening, and if there were any
doubts of my staying qualities they
must have been set at rest by the eX-
libition. AS a matter of fact, I never
felt better in my life and was never in
better physical condition than ] am
at present To save my life L cannot
understand why such misreprese nta-
tions are made as are daily appearing
in the newspapers to the effect that I

of the task before me and | am gov

People are talking about the dis
parity of the weight between Fitzsim-

Fitzsimmons will weigh about 165, and
that makes a pretty good heavy
weight fighter. Tom Sayres fought his
best at 154 pounds. and nobody ever
questioned his ability as a sparrer or

most to settle the question of suprem-
acy for once and all. There has been
some agitation of the name of John l..
Sullivan for referee of the battle. but
do net see how he could accept such
a position. If he could stand by and
see the man win who with a blow had
taken fame and fortune from him. all
can say is that he is different from
any human being 1 ever heard of. It
would be unjust to John l.. Sullivan
to put him in such a place and no
friend or well-wisher of his win be
willing to force MIN into it. If by any
chance or flu1e 1 should lose the fight
with Fitzsimmons and Sullivan should
be the referee. there would be a never
ending flow of talk about paying off
old grudges, and for my part 1 don't
think Sullivan wants to be thus stu
ated.
why there should be so much mis-
representation in regard to myself and
my condition is Beyond comprehension.
Take that Philadelphia affair, for in
stance. 1t was made to appear that

For some time the Republicans have
been indulging in the pleasant pastime
of accusing the Democrats of having
a large corruption fund. of Judge
Powers of having been retained with
large sum 30 make the fight for the
Democrats. So far these things have
been founded merely on a sensational
arhSis in the Tribune. Judge 1 'wers
IS too old a politician to busy himself
with denying such anateurish roor-
backs and therefore he took no notice
of the attacks. though reports were
constantly cominp in from different
parts Of the territory that Frank J.
Cannon, c. i. Allen and other Re-
publican speakers were using this
matter
An inquiry. however. has finally come
from a Democrat and the answer of
Judge Powers leaves nothing to be
said. 1t clearly outlines his own posi-
ton, and the position of the Democratic
party and utterly refutes the stories
that have been circulated by the vari-
Gus Republicans. The opposition should
have taken heed of the warning con-
veyed ~ the utter humiliation of c.
z. Allen on the point of southern con-
Eututions and should have been care
{Iul not to make unfounded statements.
