Defeated tn 9 Presumpscot Baseball Team
Yesterday.

The Sacoarappa basebail club won an
other game yesterday afternoon, with the
Presunpscot team at Warren park by a
score of 81 to 9. Since the game batween
these two clubs week ago Saturday,
base ball has been the all absorbing topic
eolipsing entirely political and all other
matters, and yesterday afternoon the
people took half day off and went to the
game. It is estimated that there were
seven hundred spectators present. The
women were there by hundreds and urged
on their favorites by waving parasols
and handkerohiefs. The Sacoarappas
played great ball, and had the Presump-
scots at their mercy after the second in
ming, and had it not been for the loose
playing of their short stop 1t ia fair to
say the Presumpsoots would not have
made over four scores. Wentworth was
of the box in the fifth inning and Gilman
substituted, but was no improvement.
The Saocarappas battery was the marvel
of all. 1t is safe to say 1t is the best
battery, considering age and weight that
there is in the state. Dana of the Sacca-
rap pas played a great game in the right
field. A. Henderson's throwing was an
other feature of the game. Following is
the, score by innings:
Saocarappa, 8 o l 2 x-21

Assem- led in and about the Madison
Square Garden last evening, on the occa
sion of the formal announcement TO
William Jennings Bryan of Nebraska
that he had been nominated by the
Chicago convention for the office of
President of the United States.
1t had been confidently expected and
predicted by his fri ends that he would
make a great speeoh-so confidently that
it would not have been strange if he had
failed to realize all that WAS thus pre-
dioted of him. But we are sure that no
one, even among those with whom his
candidacy finds the least favor, aver Y en-
ture to anticipate such failure as actual
ly occurred.
Mr.. Bryan was received by his vast
audience with the applause OF civi lily
due to a stranger. Ills hearers came to
listen to an orator. They suayed-or.
rather, they did no stay-.-to listen to a
reader. The man who is said to have
electrified the Chicago convention with

audience began to move out, slowly and
noiselessly at first, and then without
care or semblance of silence, and the YER
dict among the friends and foes OF the
candidate alike WAS that the whole
demonstration fell far short of the sue
cess that had been expected.
We shall not attempt now to disousss
the assertions and arguments contained
in Mr.. Bryan's elaborate essay further
than to say that the document fully con-
firms the opinion that he is utterly unfit
to be trusted with the high office to
which he aspires.
| lis melancholy failure last night to
make any favorable impression on the
thinking people of this city is guaran-
tee of the continuance of good govern
ment in this country, and deserved re-
buke to the Chicago revolut ionists, who
have tried to steal the good nam of the
