MKINLRY,s sILvnR urrERANcEs
Would Put Him Forever out of the
Presidential Going.

Washington, April 1.-Governor Nc
Kinley having failed to deny the Ian
guage imputed to him that he would
decline a presidential nomination on a
silver PLATFORM 1t is now believed here
to he true. Among his friends there is
unbounded amazement that he should
nave thus thrown away the chance he
might have had. If Reed threw away an
opportunity by voting for u gold bond,
how much more grievous is McK:niey's
oifense. He simply serves notice to the
convention in advance of Its assembly
that IL he is to be considered an
availability ii must be on u gold plat
form.
The fact that II. II. Kohlsaat, Gov
ernor McKinley's close friend, is the
authority for the governors declara-
tion stamps 1t with absolute truth. The
governor, no doubt, remains silent be-
cause he knows MIR. kohlsaat as an
honorable man will not by any subter-
fuge or equivocation excuse him. Mr..
Kohlsaat Is now In New York. although
he is expected here tomorrow.
1t may be Governor Mckinley made
this utterance with elaboration. He
hopes. with the aid of Mayor Strong OF
New York to capture the delegation
from the empire state. To be radically
against silver in this section Is not
unpopular, and the governor may pro-
pose to take his chances In the West,
while making himself solid in the East.
IT, however, his language is to stand.
1t means his death knell. The next
Republican convention will be con-
trolled by the West. To select candidate
facing such declaration then would
mean the defeat of the Republican
party In all the states west OF the
Mississippi line. The party having
more than an even chance to win is not
going to handicap itself with candi-
date thus weighted.
Hence. Major McKinley's Southern
trip has been his boomerang, and more
than ever turns the eyes of the leaders
10 the more conservative personality Of
William B. Allison.

he can get the ball down to second as

So many questions have been asked
of the sporting editor about the Alex

line will not so amlss at this time.
The club in the first place Is managed
by Mr.. Teragani, a native of Louis
lana, and proprietor OF one of the best
cafes in the South, and Is supported
by stock company Of lovers of the
game In that place. They have
beautiful park. grand stand, all within
walking distance, and play such clubs
as Jacksonville and New orleans dur
ing the season. The town of Alexan-
dria has 5000 inhabitants, is exactly In
the center Of the state, and 1872 miles
northwest of New Orleans. The club

day and Friday In Dallas, Saturday
and Sunday in Sherman. the following
week at Little Rock, and then start for
home To rest up.
Negotiations are pending TO arrange
n game on April 13 with Chicago of the
National league. Get a move on you,
Mr.. Manager.
It is to be hoped that the manage
ment will continue to make many need
ed improvements at the grounds. The
"bleachers'' are very meager.
Fort Worth Will have her full team
on the field today, as Will also Alex.

ponent a stinger on the nose Just as
the gong sounded and drawing blood.
In the second round Delougherty was
inclined TO rush matters, In making n
heavy swing at Gardner's jaw and
missing he left an excellent opening
for the Kid. The latter took adyantage
of 1t and landed a heavy blow under
Delougherty's heart. following It up
with terrific left swing on the Jaw
