ANOTHER HoLLER.
Barnesviiie Want, Chance at Cam
bridge.


GAINESVILLE, o., Sept 80.
To the Editor of the Enquirer:
In dispatch to The Enquirer of to-
day an attempt is set forth to claim
the amateur championship of the state
for the Cambridge baseball club over
Marietta. Such attempt appears fare
ical. The claim of the Cambridge club
of defeating every club in Eastern,
Central aud Southern Ohio a majority
of games is without foundation, and
only loud boast, characteristic Of this
club and its management. Marietta
has played double the number of clubs
this season that Cambridge has, and
their record shows that the teams
played are the best in Ohio Kentucky
and West Virginia. Cam bridge. boasts
of defeating Parkersburg,7 after that
team had lost whole series, >includr
ing q shut-out, to, Marietta. But
when Cambridge played Parkersburg
the Parkersburg team was weak, only
two men who were members of the
club when they defeated Marietta be-
ing with them, and consequently there
would be no possible foundation upon
which ambridge might lay claim to
the championship, or an engagement
for that honor with the Washington
c. Fl. team. In her enumeration Cam
bridge fails to mention Barnesville's
team, which has won every series
played this season except with Mari
eta, and that series stands two games
apiece. Rarnesville defeated Cam
bridge three out of fye games, and
consequently they Cambridge have
no right to claim second place.

Killed on the O, r. r,

About seven o'clock Friday morning
the dead body of a young man appar-
emily about sixteen years of age was
found lying on the track of the Ohio
River railroad short distance below
Williamstown. Both legs were crush
ed and heavy bruises were visible on
his body, which was not mangled.
From papers on his person it was
learned that the unfortunate young
lads name was Clyde Davis, and that
he had been released from the West
Virginia Reform School last April
His parents reside in Peasants county,
w. Va, few miles from st. Marys.
1t is supposed that he was struck by
the Bryan train on its way from
Wheeling to Huntington.
The body was prepared for inter
ment and shipped Friday afternoon to
his relatives at ST. Marys for burial.

The Garfield Meeting.

To say that the Garfield meeting last
night was success, would be putting
the case extremely mild-it was an
ovation.
Largely, of course, the tremendous
gathering was Interested in seeing the
young man because of the cherished
memory of his lamented father. They
not only were gratified at the sight of
young Garfield, but to man, the aud
ience stayed until he had uttered the
last word of his manly speech, which
lasted an hour and half.
AS a speaker Senator Garfield is
straightforward, careful and conscen-
tious. Last night he took the money
question of America from the date of
its birth and carried it through its var
ious changes up to the present time.
His thought on the subject was clear,
and was simply, though convincingly
told. At every turn it showed the
careful student With dignifed re-
spect for all who honestly differed from
him in politics, he forbore entirely
from any abuse of them on their ideas;
but he held up and showed in a true
light of clear reason how false were
the latter, and what was the true
thing.
Senator Garfield was followed by Ex-
Congressman Doan, who was not long
in showing the crowd that he was
jolly good campaigner, and thoroughly
up to snuff.
The Club boys formed an escort to
the speakers, taking them and num-
ber of guests of Senator Dana from
that gentleman's home to the Auditor
ium.
The Club made great appearance
with their uniforms and new lanterns.
