The Title Obtained by "kia" Mccoy in a
eco" WITH Thinning RYnn.

$50" with Thomas Ryan.
Maspeth, l.. L.. March .. A "go"
between Thomas Ryan and kid" Nc
Coy was tho principal attraction at the
Empire Athletic Club tonight.
Ryan said he scaled 14S pounds and
Mccoy weighed loo pounds Time
was called at 10 o'clock, and Ryan
Immediately began his rushing tactics,
but was met by Mccoy with several
hard knocks on the face. From this
ON Ryan acted more on the defen-
sive. Up to the sixth round it was
easily MGCoy's fight. In the seventh
round Ryan once more assumed the
aggressive, and Mccoy clinched to save
himself.
In the eighth Ryan attacked and
punched his man with the left high
on the head. Mccoy rushed again and
Ryan turned. Ryan swung his left on
tho jaw and nearlJ sent Mccoy against
the ropes. Mccoy rushed at his man
and hit him right and left on the jaw,
knocking him down. Ryan took nine
counts and got up, when Mccoy rushed
him again and fought him almost to a
standstil, when the bell rang.
In the ninth Mccoy rushed his man
all over the ring and foored him again
with left swing on the jaw. Finally
Ryan clinched TO save himself.
Nothing much was done in tho tenth
round, but from the beginning Of the
eleventh till the gong sounded, Mccoy
hit his opponent right and loft. Ryan "a
face presented horrible sight. He
was groGgy and only saved himself 10y
clinching Ryan was floored again in
the twelfth by right-hand swing on
the jaw.
From this on Mccoy did about as he
pleased with Ryan, who remained game
to tho core. Finally, in tho 10Th round,
Mccoy upper.cut his man with the
left, drove his right on tho stomach
and knocked Ryan down twice. Ryan
got up only to be pushed down again.
This time Ryan stayed down, and was
slowly counted out. The round lasted
one minute and 81 seconds.
The result of the fight was one Of the
biggest surprises in the fistic arena for
some time. Ryan was looked upon aa
a sure winner.

In recent editorial raking of the
frer silver Senators who hold their nor
soaal interests above The interests Of
thn country, the Philadelphia Ledger
SAID
IN 1880 when most Of the Democrats
ana q great many Republicans were
camorlng for free coinage, Senator
Sherman threw SOP to Cerberus' in
the shape OF the silver purchase act,
tine eyll effects Of which were largely
responsible for the panic Of 1858.
Although at times commercially in
dependent, Tie Ledger is q paper Of
strong Republican convictions, and
the above admission, therefore, coming
from such source, il significant.
The partisan Republican contention
has aI along been that tho panic Of
1888 was II natural result Of Demo
cratic administration, and the eonse-
ducnt fear Of a tearing up of tire
the tariff. Tho Democratic conten-
ton was that the Sherman silver pur.
chase act, with its evil tendency 10
impair, public credit, was responsible.
Congress finally accepted this view,

The Republican members OF Balti.
more's City Councils recently deter
mined upon a bold and audacious plan
for securing to themselves the disposal
OF official patronage. They have enacted
ordinances taking away the power of
appointment from Mayor Hooper.
The reason for this proceeding is that
the mayor is endeavoring to honestly
carry out the pledges made to the people
during the campaign that resulted in
his election. II viii DO remembered
that Baltimore was under Democratic
rule for years, and that during this
time an offensive Democratic ring had
como into existence, which conducted
tho cityis affairs more for the benefit Of
the ring than for the benefit Of the
Taxpayers. Finally, as the only means
OF getting rid OF this Democratic ring,
many independent Democratic voters
united with the Republicans and elect
ed city ticket pledged to reform.
The only trouble with Mayor Hooper,
whom the Republicans Of City Council
desire to strip Of the appointing power,
is that he insists upon keeping faith
with the people. He does not believe
that the result of the election meant
simply change from Democratic
ring to Republican ring. And SO, in
making appointments to Office, he has
endeavored to be guided by capacity
and fitness rather than by political
considerations. He has reappointod a
few of the Democratic officials whose
records warranted their retention. He
has insisted upon giving the Demo
Gratis minority representation upon the
various city boards.
This has angered tho Republican
members Of Councils, who want Mayor
Hooper to make his administration a
partisan one. They have refused 10
confirm his appointments, but he sent
tho same names back to Councils, time
after time. Now they propose TO tie
his hands by arroGating the appointing
power TO themselves.
The Republicans of the Baltimore
City Councils will surely regret their
unjust and partisan course. The
people will pass judgment upon
their official acts, at the next election,
and the Same power that placed these
unfaithful men in office can remove
them at the first opportunity, The
people knew what they were voting for
last year, and they will loyalty stand
by Mayor Hooper for endeaving to keep
faith with them.
