wASHINGTONs AT BAT.
Their Percentages Have Generally
Improved.

In keeping with the general good work on
the western trip, the batting averages of
the Senators have taken an upward ten
dency. Mcclure, who led the league fort
night ago, has dropped somewhat, but has
not lost his grip as the leading batsman of
his club, with Setback a good second.
After Capt. Joyce was ordered out of the
game at Cincinnati, Jack Crooks had his
first opportunity to make a hit, and grasped
1t; as he will not get in the game while the
team is winning, he will probably glory in
his possible" for some time to come.
In the pas ten games every man on the
team has bettered his percentage, with the
exception of Mcclure, Abbey and Rogers,
who have fallen off 81, 0 and IA points, re-
spectively. McCauley gained to points;
Setback, 30; Cartwright 46; McJames, %;
Brown, %; Joyce, u; DeMontleville, 10,
and Mercer, 8. Capt. Joyce is the leading
run getter and base runner.
The table follows:

There has been quite a change in the
leading batsmen of the twelve National
League clubs during the past two weeks
Miller of Cincinnati, MCGUIRE Jennings
Van Haltren, Hamilton and Clarke of
Louisville still lead their respective clubs
OConnor has temporarily displaced Burkett
as Cleveland's heavy hitter; in Pittsburg,
Ely has given way to Stencil; in Philadel-
phia, Delehanty to Grady; in Chicago, Dab
len to LANCE; in Brooklyn, Corcoran to
Burrell, and in st. Louis, PARROT has pass
ed Manager Connor
Miller of Cincinnati is the surprise of the
season. Not only has "Dusty's' batting
been terrific, but he also leads the base
runners of the league. He hit safely in
twenty successive games, but fell down be-
fore Win Mercer. His % hits include 10
doubles, l triple and one home run.
The record includes players who have
played IN ten games or more and is as
follows:

Record of the Clubs,
THOSE REJUVENATED COLONIES.
They Quite Forgot Themselves and
Thrashed the Champions.

Again yesterday did the champion Balti-
mores succEmb before the dashing Louis
vile Colorels, the home team making a
rollicking grand stand finish in the ninth
inning. With the score 5 to in favor of
Baltimore, the Lousvilles rallied and
cracked out four singles, which, with the
assistance Of an error and a passed ball,
netted three runs and victory

PhiIIies Break the Spell.

Like Louisville. Philadelphia also won
out in the ninth il ming after the game was
well in the hands Of .Pittsburg. For some
unaccountabie reason Hawley grew wild at
the last moment. Taylor was erratic at
the start, but soon settled down. 1t was
Hawley's fifth straight defeat, and the first
victory for the Phillies after eight defeats

Gle says. "a player right here on the Gin
cinnati lot tipped off sigLs while acting as
umpire. On the occasion referred to the
home team roaped the benefit. The play
ers and umpire did not let the news of the
affair get out Until me nths afterward, and
the team that got the worst of IT probably
does not know 1t to this day. The player
who did the tipping was not Cincinnati
player at the time" AS the Senators have
won about three games in Cincinnati in
the last four years. 1t is not a hard guess
to pick out the club that was given the
Cincinnati double cross"
Manager McGunnigle now with the Louis
villes, has been 'touted' by many of the
eastern and western papers great
manager account of the success of the
Brooklyns when he had that team in
charge. Without getting into the knock
ing" class it may be well to remark that
the Brooklyns that year could not lose the
penrant Unless they had thrown the games
year, and the Broolyn club was the only
one that remained intact In the league.
The other clubs We're gathered together
from the miner leagues, and the games
put UP by the ether seven clubs We're the
yelloWest of the yellow, and the like was
never before or since seen on league
grounds McGunnsle may prove to be
good manager but it is doubtful If he
cares to base his reputation on his Brook
Ign experience.

PORTER AND SCHRAUB
THE REVISED TICKET IN NEW YORK
Both Stand Squarey Upon the Chicago Plat
form-Danforth Declined First Place.
Titus for Justice.

New York. Sept. 2S-The regular demo-
cratic ticket of the state of New YORK,
revised by the state committee this even
ing is:
For goyernor-Wilbur +. Porter of Wa
tertown.
For lieutenant governor - Fred G.
Schraub of Lowville.
For associate justice of the court OF ap-
peals-Robert c. Titus of Buffalo.
It was supposed to be settled that Ell
liott Danforth, chairman of the state
committee would be placed at the head
of the ticket to fill the vacancy caused
by the decination of John Boyd Thacher.
At the eleventh hour Mr.. Danforth, who
had been in telephone communication
with Senator Hill, decided that he would
not permit his name to be used. He told
the committee so and the managers OF
the democratic campaign got together
and decided to push Judge Porter up from
second place to first, and to make FRED
erick c. Schraub lieutenant nt-governor.
No change was made in the thlrd place
on the ticket.
The committee was called to order by
Chairman Danforth at 9:15 p. m. After
roll call Bernard r. York reported for the
committee appointed to notify candidates
that Mr.. Thacher had declined, but mad
Chicago ticket and the state ticket OF the
party.
Chairman Danforth called Thomas f.
Grady to the chair and presented the
name of Wilbur F. Porter of Watertown
, as candidate for governor. There were
no more nominations
Before the vote was taken Mr.. Purroy
inquired where Mr.. Porter stood In re-
gard to the platform. Mr. Danforth
stated that Mr.. Porter would stand
souarely upon the platform of the con-
vention and would fully endorse the Chi
cago platform. The vote was unanimous
and Mr.. Porter was declared the nomi-
nee for governor
Charles NJ Bulger of Oswego presented
the name of Frederick G. Schraub for
lieutenant-governor He stated that Mr..
Schraub was one of the delegates to the
Chicago convention and was one of the
first to declare himself for the Chicago
ticket and platform. Mr.. Schraub was
nominated unanimously.
A committee was appointed and Candi-
date Schraub was brought into the room.
Mr.. Schraub made short speech, in
which he expressed his qualification at
having received the honor of unani-
nous nomination.
All the members of the committee were
present or were represented by proxies.
Frederick G. Schraub, the democratic
nominee for lieutenant-governor is ma
tive of the state and of German parent
age. He was for three years district at
torney of Lewis county. When the dairy
commission was done away with and a
commissioner of agriculture created, Mr..
Schraub was appointed as the first COM

was appointed by Governor Morton as

At Paterson. N. j.

Paterson, N j., Sept 28.--Mr. Bryan
remained at the Bartholdi less than an
hour. Shortly before o'clock he started
for New Jersey, where he was booked to
speak at Paterson and Newark
Mr.. Bryan was received by tumultu-
Gus crowd of over 20 900 people in this city
tonight. 1t was one of the noisiest and
hardest crowds to control that Mr.. Bryan
has faced thus far in the campaign.
The candidate arrived from New York
at 6:65 D. M, and was met at the depot
by committee and escorted in a car
riage to the speakers stand ON Coates
Hill, about which an immense throng had
gathered.
Just as the carriages approached the
outskirts of the crowd the horses became
frightened at bursting bombs and
plunged forward The crowd became al
most panic stricken. They could not fall
back, owing to the solid wall of human
forward and grasped the bridles holding
the horses in check before any damage
was done. With much difficulty Mr. Bry-
an was pushed up on the platform. The
crowd was very noisy and it was impossi-
BILE to secure silence for over fifteen min
utes. When quiet was restored Mr.. Bry
an was introduced by Munson Force,
chairman of the democratic county COM
mittee,
Mr.. Bryans address consumed twenty
minutes. He was picked up bodily from
the platform by dozen policemen and
escorted to his carriage. 1t was with
much difficulty that the carriage made its
way through the surging mass of people
to the depot.
MIR. Bryan left at 7:37 for Newark.

LETTER T0CATHOLIC CLERGY
Full of Clumsy Fattery and Reeking With
Y Nest Shameless Mendacty.
v oRlNG TO COMMIT THE CLOTH
many Leaders are Incensed, but They
Believe That it Will Prove Boom
erang-Full Text OF the Out
rageous Document.

New York, Sept. 2S.-The following let
ter addressed to the Catholic clergy of
the United States by, 1t is said the Nc
Kinley and Hobart business mems ma
tional campaign committee, was given
out today at Tamn@ny hall.
Tenth Street Above Chestnut,
philadelphia, Pa, Sept 10, 1896.
Reverend and Dear Sir: We are well
aware that the dignity of your sacred Of
flee forbids the exercise of your influence
in any political matter involving mere
questions of executive or legislative poll
icy.
Nevertheless we are fully persuaded
that the questions before the country in
the pending presidential campaign are OF
an especially serious character, because
they involve fundamental moral issues.
A decision in the selection of president
that will commit the executive to a poll
cy that in its application will forcibly
compromise private financial obligations
and Will repudiate portion of national
debts will be violation of the basic
Christian principle that commands hon.
esty between man and man. Such a de-
cision, we believe, would be thoroughly
immoral and would precipitate an ethical
and material calamity of incalculable
magnitude.
attack now being made upon the regu-
larly constituted legal authorities of the
national government Is perniciouS and
dangerous to an extreme degree, for it
contains rebellion against those safe
guards of law upon which society, the
individual, the several states Of the ma
tion must depend for security and protec-
ton. If successful the vital principles
of our government will be undermined.
Recalling with gratitude the patriot
m In Art tltn
late most Rev. Archbishop Hughes, and
many others of the Roman Catholic cler-
gy, when the integrity of our government
was threatened on a former OCCASION we
take the liberty to suggest that the pres
ent Is period of equal danger. The gov
ernment Is not threatened by physical
force, but insidious and false ideas that
inspire incipient anarchy and contempt
for proper authority are industriously
propagated throughout our country.
at is not our purpose to argue the fore
going suggestions. We merely desire to
respectfully express the opinion that
present political issues involve vital
moral questions that powerfully appeal
to the religious instructors of the people.
"Our committee Is not partisan, 1t In
cludes neither officeholders nor office
seekers We have no personal political
interests to serve, being private citizens
assembled for patriotic purposes. Very
respectfully,
"ROBERT G. OGDEN,
Chairman Republican Committee"
The Tammany chieftains are much in
censed at this appeal to the Catholic
clergy to support Mckinley and Hobart
which they think will prove boomerang.
General Osborne when shown a copy Of
the letter at republican headquarters,
said he knew nothing about it.
