Baseball is a great game, and there is
no sport that will take its place with the
American people; but a few more disgrace

the Association Park yesterday after.
noon will suffice to kill it in this State
or elsewhere
In the first place Manager Smith, of
the Lynchburg team, made himself OBJ
noxious to all true lovers of the game by
his senseless kicking, and after being
fined was finally ordered out of the game
by the umpire. He refused to leave the
grounds and went into the carriage lot,
where he used very abusive language to
the umpire
NThree policemen were on the grounds,
and after very long time one of them
was induced to take him out of the lot
1t is to be hoped that in the future the
officers will remember their duties and
arrest any person that becomes nui-
sance at the ball park.
The game was of the heart disease or
der, and was finally won out in the
eleventh inning by the visitors The vic
tory was not due TO their superior play
ing, but directly to Umpire Cline who
gave them the advantage of every close
decision.
hlmDle anu -ncf arlinu were tne OppOS-
ing pitchers, and both were hit hard.
The locals kept in the lead until the
eighth inning, when, with man on first,
Groves smashed the horsehide to the
right field fence for three bases and tied
the score.
In the ninth and tenth neither side
could score, end in the meantime more
than one close decision was made against
the locals.
In the last half of the eleventh, with
Pickering on third and two men out;
Dolan knocked a hot one to Wrigley
who threw wildly TO Tate, thus letting in
the winning run.
The game should have been another
victory for the locals, but they could not
beat ten men. The score:

and succeeded in transferring him in
safety to police station. There Fran

stated in reply to queries that he was a
foreman in the municipal Office Of

two shots had been fired was still in his
possession. 1t was a small weapon Of

HAWKEYE REPUBLICANS
State Convention at DeS MOineS
Remarkable for Attendance
and Harmony.
Platform Endorsing st. Louis
Convention Adopted With
out Objection.
Nominations for State Officers
and Electors Made by
AcClamation.

Dies MONIES, July 16.-The Repub-
lican state convention was remarkable
in point Of attendance and interest.
Among the distinguished men present
were Senators Allison and Gear and
nearly all the Iowa congressman. Sem
ator Allison's speech, which warmly
commended Major Mckinley and sus-
tanned the st. Louis platform, was the
real point of interest. The senator
spoke with much more than usual
warmth and when he pointed to the
picture of the Ohio man the convention
went wild with applause.
The platform, after endorsing the ac-
tion Of the st. Louis convention, says
on the financial issue:
The Financial Plank.
In the interest of our export trade, for
the furtherance of the policy of reci-
procity and for the promotion of our COM
merce, as well as for the benefit Of our sill
yer producers. we pledge the support of
the Iowa Republicans in congress to the
promotion of an international agreement

oppose change to a silver standard because
1t will decrease and not increase the sup
ply Of money in the country; because in
stead of restoring confidence it will de-
stroy credits; instead of aiding the debtor
II will involve him in bankruptcy; instead
of furnishing employment to labor it will
make more uncertain and unremunera-
tive that which 1t has; instead of benefit
ting the producers 1t will injure them;
and, finally, because 1t would do infinite
injustice and involve our country in re-
pudiation and dishonor.

The ticket nominated is as follows !:

P0PULISTS ARE SPLIT
Very Evident a Clash Will
Occur Over Proposal to
Endorse Bryan.
Antis Waiting for the Silver
Men to Act Before Maxi
ing a Fight.
Adoption Of the Chicago Plat
form Will Also Result In
Contest.

ST. LOUIS, July 18.-It becomes more
and more evident each day as the time
Of the meeting Of the Populist national
convention draws near that the men,
bers Of that party will clash over the
endorsements of Bryan for president.
Letters from all parts of the country
are pouring in to the national commit
tee headquarters, some demanding and
some denouncing the endorsement of
the Democratic ticket, and everything
indicates that there is decided differ
ence of opinion as to the best action to
be taken at the coming convention. It
is the opinion of some of the Populists
here that the party is near the danger
also of a split over the question. They
express the hope, however, that some
Definite Plan Of Action
agreeable to all can be decided upon at
the meeting of the national executive
committee, which is to be held here
next Saturday. Many of the Populist
leaders are awaiting the coming of the
free silver senators who bolted the Re-
publican convention. Upon the course
they take will depend in measure the
action of the anti-Bryan wing. If the
silver Republicans come out openly for
Bryan and the Chicago platform the
opposition may not make much Of a
fight.
The headquarters Of the Populist ma
tional committee are beginning to show
signs that the national convention will
soon meet. Chairman Taubeneck and
his assistants are busy

and preparing for the big rush of Popu.
lists expected Saturday. Mr.. Tau
beneck still declines to discuss the
movement in favor of Bryan and Sew
all. His invariable statement is II
have nothing for publication.
Ex-Governor Waite Of Colorado, who
will head the delegation from that
state, is out for endorsing the Bryan
and Sewall ticket and will begin to
work for it as soon as he reaches st.
Louis.
The biggest fight next to the one en-
dorsing the candidates will be that over
the platform. A very strong wing Of
the party proposes to make fight for
the adoption of the Omaha platform in
stead Of an endorsement of the Chicago
declaration.
