A HEAVY-HITTING GAME.
eASTON AND TIGERS POUNDED THE
BALL HARD YESTERDAY.

The State League Club from the Triple
City Won by Score of 10 to fe-Tirers
Made Good showing-K Big
Jack Fec Out OF the Box.
The Tigers went under again at the
park yesterday through the severe bonn
oardment administered both of their
pitchers by the Easton State league
team. All the games played in Free
land this year have been conspicuous for
heavy hitting, but yesterdays game
established the highest mark vet made.
The professionals began to slaughter the
ball in the first inning and continued it
throughout the game. Pitcher Kelly, a
young man imported from the Wyoming
region, was the easiest kind of a mark
Tor the State leaguers and Pitcher Groux
was scarcely any better
The game began by the Tigers scoring
three runs in the first inuing and five in
second off Jack Fec, who was extremely
wild in his pitching. Easton scored two

total of ten bases, which, with the as

errors, netted' them nine runs. This
gave the Triple City men a lead over
the Tigers which the latter could not
overcome, though they played steady
game from then on.
The game was not noticeable for any
remarkable playing, and was witnessed
by the smallest crowd of the season.
Several difficult file were caught by
McGeehan and Kelly, but as IL whole
the game was uninteresting throughout

work for the visitors, and McFadden.

At the former election the result was

LIVELY TIMES AHEAD.

Mid the Wreck and Ruin of the Twin
Frauds, Populism Offers an Asylum Of
Safety.
Party machinery is destined this year
to be very seriously fractured. There
will be at least three strong presiden-
tial tickets in the field. If Mr.. Nc
Kinley should be nominated at ST.
Louis there will certainly be a split at
Chicago. The result of that split will
be an extreme silver party. The re-
publican phalanx, on the other hand,
will not split in the center. 1t will
merely lose part of its extreme right
wing and part of its extreme left
wing. That is to say, some eastern
business men who call themselves re-
publicans would rather support can
didate like Carlisle on a gold platform
mise plank. On the other hand many of
the far western republicans, under the
lead of Senator Teller and his friends,
would rather support democratic
ticket headed by man like Gov. Boies,
of Iowa, on a free silver platform,
than support Mr.. Mckinley or Mr.. AL
lison-not to mention Mr.. Reed-on
such platform as the epublicans are
likely to adopt at St Louis As for
the populists, they are going to wait
and see what happens in the republic
an and democratic conventions It
has been for some time very strongly
limited that the free silver forces of all
parties may unite upon Senator Cam
eron, of Pennsylvania, as their candi-
date, and persuade him to accept the
nom in atiOn IT, would Seem easier
however, to hold the southern voSe
with a western democrat like Gov.
Boies as the pro-silver candidate. It
is not impossible that the breakup of
party machinery may give us four for
mida BILE tickets, but it is now practi-
cally certain that there will be at least
three. From 1.-THE Progress of the
World" in Review of Reviews.

vention if he be strong advocate for
free silver. Messrs- Bland, Morrison
and Boies are all regarded with favor
by Kansas populists."
Now this is just about as far from
the truth as it we'll could be. No such
sentiment exists in Kansas. No popu-
list leader or leaders have expressed
any such hope in the last three days"
or at any other time.
We do not believe that either Bland,
Morrison or Boies as the candidate of
the. democratic party could get a single
vote from the Kansas delegation in IA
vor of Endorsement and certainly no
considera BILE number.
But the idea is to keep up this sys-
tematic lying and get the people con-
fused and arouse a distrust between
the people and their leaders. 1t is our
mission to keep these schemes exposed
and we shall do SO. We say to the
brothers in other states that Kansas
will be in the convention firm for the
Omaha declaration and a man who can
stand upon them.-Topeka Daily Co.

THAT TROJAN HORSE.

Care Must Be Taken That the Candidates
Embody the Principles to Be Hidden In
tho Silver Horse.
At this stage of the game one cannot
too strongly or too often emphasize the
traism that the personality of the
populist national candidates is of far
more Importance than the wording of
the platform upon which they are
placed. There are men that may
safely be depended upon to do the
right thing at the proper time, no mat
ter what kind of platform they may
have been elected upon, while, on the
other hand, there are men who cannot
be depended upon under any circum-
stances, no matter how firmly they
may apparently be bound by their
platform pledges.
The men nominated as the standard
bearers of the peoples party must be
thoroughly imhued and permeated
with populist principles and must
neither be ashamed nor afraid to own
and defend them. We want no candi-
dates who can be swerved from the
path of duty by jibes and jeers, or who
are likely to be prompted to repudiate
and apologize for the grand principles
of populism from fear of the epithets
Socialist and socialism"
He who aspires to lead the peoples
forces must be rooted and grounded in
the faith of social democracy and be a
firm believer in the eternal fatherhood
of God and the universal brotherhood
of man.
And he must be sound from the
standpoint of economics. He must un-
derstand the theory of money and COM
prehend the difference between the
populist ideal of law-made, full legal
tender, absolute paper money and the
Shylock-R othschild theory of ''specie
basis" and specie redemption" Ac-
knowledging and serving the Re-
deemer of man, he must denounce and
repudfate metal as redeemer of
money. And this basic theory of pop
ulist faith he must be, ready to avow
and defend at all times and in all
places
Brethren, be on your guard; be
= strong; acquit yourselves as men.
Truth and right are never fashionable,
or respecta BILE and their true votaries
are ever careless of public opinion.
The Christ may be crucifed, but if He
has been her true exponent, the truth
He proclaimed marches on to victory.
1t is true that nothing succeeds like
success" but it is also true that success
achieved through compromise and
subterfuge is but the sepulcher of truth
and principle. The popularity of
proposed leader among those who OPP
pose the principles he processes to es-
pouse is an unerring signal of danger.
The party's candidate should be Sc
lected from. those who have suffered
most in the party's cause. The Apos-
tie Paul glorified in his revilings and
prosecutions as strong proofs of his
fidelity to the cause of Christ. A
statesman once said of another: 1--WE
love him for the enemies he has made"
Let these ideas be the controlling
motives in the selection Of candidates.
