THEY BROKE EVEN.
Scranton and Rochester Divide HOnOrs
in Two Pitchers Battles-.-Each
q Close Score.

Rochester bagged one and Scranton
the other of two pitchers battles, Sat
urday, though, on the hitting and
pitching we should have captured both.
Two bases on balls and an error by
Massey made possible all of the three
runs scored by Rochester in the first
inning of the first game which they
won.
About 800 persons were in the audi
ence which was kept in Il fever-heat
Of excitement during the hour and
thirty minutes occupied I'm playing the
hrst game and the hour and thirty-tive
minutes of the second. The outcome
of each was uncertain from the start
to the end. Umpire Tim Keefe. as III
the preceding game, performed his
work very satisfactorily to the audi
ence and the players. There was no
kicking" by the latter. and that. GER
tainly, is a good criterion. Peter Eag-
an. Mcguire and Mulvey We're the
fielding heroes of the day. Eagans
pickup and throw to the plate pre-
vented Rochester from teing the score
in the second contest. The steady
work of Berger had much to do with
Gillon's and Lovett's good pitching.
FIRST GAME.
All the scoring was done I'm the first
inning. Rochester was first at bat.
GillOn gave BOttenus and johnson
walks to first and DAILY hit a grounder
to keister which was fielded success
fully but which Massey muffed. The
play filled the bases. Lynch forced
Bottenus at the plate. Moss assisted
Beard out at first and Johnson came
home. Boards out would have retired
the side but for the error already
made by Massey. DAILY and Lynch
scored on Dooley's single and Mulvey
was thrown out at first.

Cox and Whitthorne.

Elsewhere will be found an account
of the Congressional Convention at Co
lumhia. Itresulted in the nomination
of both Cox and Whitthorne in separate
conventions. The proceedings Of the
convention were shameful and disgust
ing to even the delegates. The Citizen
has never been the partisan of either.
Each has done the public some service,
either would have made an acceptable
Congressman. Neither occupies such
an exalted position as to warrant the
disruption OF the party to secure his cleo
ton. There are scores of other men
in the Congressional district who would
make as good representatives as either
of them and yet either of them is in
finitely better than the best Republican
in the district. 1t is evident that if both
run neither can be elected, but Repub-
liean will. We prefer Democratic sue
cess to the personal claims of either. 1t
is due the people that has honored them
heretofore that they come to some
agreement between themselves by
which only one will run. If this can
not be done let it be referred for settle
ment TO the State Executive Committee
for adjustment If this plan is not
feasible or acceptable let the two men
run in primary to be held say about
the 9th of October in the district and let
the people decide or let any other plan
be adopted by which only one man may
be before the people as a Democratic
candidate in the election in November
We Will not comment on the conven-
tion at this time further than TO say that
the action of the Whitthorne leaders
was quite arbitrary inlregard to the
temporary organization and the action
of the Cox leaders in withdrawing when
they did was very unwise, especially if
they had the majority which they
claimed to have of the delegates. 1t
seems to an outsider that the leaders on
each side were attempting to get the
start and advantage of their opponents
and by the same sort of tactics. Our
politics has degenereted into too much
scramble among individuals for the
spoils of Office and conventions are but
the occasion for manipulators to fur
Their their ends to the detriment of the
party and people, Pulaski Citizen.

Split.

The Congressional Convention that
met in Columbia last Tuesday resulted
in split; the Cox men Withdrew from
the Convention, and w. j. Whitthorne
was nominated.
The Cox delegates assembled at the
Courthouse, organized and adjourned
to meet at the Opera House, where n
n. Cox was nominated by the boiling
delegates. The Cox men claim that the
election of the temporary chairman
was unfair and the manner of his cleo,
ton could not be tolerated by Cox del
egates.
Wayne was the only county whose
entire delegation bolted the Convention
The Cox men claimed large majority
and surprising feature is that "ma
jority delegation should bolt minor
ity."
This leaves two Democratic candi
dates in the field, the one nominated by
irregular Convention, and the MONT
nation made by the boiling delegates.
The split in the Convention is to b,
regretted by all good Democrats.-Law
renee Democrat.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1896-08-28
Relegate Both to the Rear.

We do not propose to be the court to
decide between the two candidates who
are claiming to be the regular Demo
cratic nominees for Congress from the
Seventh District, nor do we propose to
assume the position of debating to
either of the nominees or their friends
We recognize that back of this contest
there is long-standing feud between
Williamson and Maury counties, feud
of which much can be said on either
side, and which has grown to such pro-
portion as to result at last in split col.
vention, two candidates claiming to be
regular nominees and the probable
election of a Republican Congressman.
Without doing more than saying that
the mere selection of temporary
Chairman over the protests of one fac
ton seems to be too slight an excuse for
splitting the party, especially before
the temporary Chairman had entered
upon the discharge of his duties, and
that further proceedings should have
been awaited, The American, for the
interest Of State Democracy and the
Democratic party in the Seventh Dis
trict, will make a suggestion.
1t is none of our fight, except that we
desire a Democrat to represent the
Seventh District in the next Congress !;
it is not our fight except that we ale for
Democratic success all along the line it
| &c tUht do IN,
pass upon the merits of the case, not
knowing the true inwardness of the
conflict or the causes leading up to the
bolt but in the interest of Democracy
we ask Nh Whitthorne and Mr.. Cox:
What do they expect to accomplish?
Do they think an internal struggle of
this kind will benefit Democracy? Do
they believe that either one of them can
defeat Republican in the face of the
vote two years ago? Do they believe
they are advancing the cause of Bryan
and Sewall and Bob Taylor by inaugu-
rating in the Seventh District an in
ternecine warfare which will array
neighbors against neighbors, not on
political issues butupon personal issues?
The American desires Demo
cratic victory all along the line in Ten
nessee. 1t desires Democratic success
in counties and congressional districts,
and it is grieved to find that in the
Seventh Congressional District, dis
trict solidly Democratic, that the
chances are a Republican will slip in.
Can this not be remedied? Is the
factional antagonism so powerful that
the good of the Democratic party must
be subordinated to the attempts to
accomplish personal ambitions?
Now. it seems to us that tho good
Democrats of the Seventh District, who
do not desire the election of Republi-
can to Congress, should make their will
known, and should make it known so
emphatically as to close the breach
now existing, even if to do so requires
the relegation to the rear of both the
nominees.
Democratic victories are wanted this
year, not Democratic defeats.-Ameri-
can.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1896-08-28

Cox said in his speech Tuesday night
that "he would beat both Whitthornc
and the Republican candidate for Con-
gress." This kind of talk comes with
mighty poor grace and less gratitu de
from man who has been honored and
elected by the organized Democracy as
often as the Colonel has.
When Col. Clark, Mr.. Cox's speaker
was calling out so long and loud for
"party organization" Tuesday night, he
certainly must have forgotten the way
In which Col. Cox and his committee
trampled organized Democracy nnder
their feet in their Congressional meet
ing here two years ago.
How can Col. Cox expect the orgaR
lied Democracy of the Seventh Con-
gressional District to support him? Nc
bolter can or should expect it.

Chicago pandemonium in the shade

The Same Old Strategy.

a minority sometimes bolts, but ma
jority has never been known to do so
The plain facts are these: Col. Cox's
supporters found out in the morning
that they could not control the Giles
and Dickson county delegations, and
without these delegations they are lost
and they seized upon the earliest OPP.
portunity to bolt.
If Cox had had majority of the votes
in convention upon a roll-call by coun.
ties, you would never have heard OF
their taking any such action.
Six years ago, when Col. Cox and the
late General Whitthorne fought out
their memorable congressional battle
Col. VIM. Stewart, of Lawrence county,
was then as now Chairman of the Con.
gressional Executive Committee. He
was, s years ago, Col. Cox's righthand
bower, and acting under the instruc-
tons of his chief, pursued the self-same
tactics which were pursued last Tues
day, In 1890 the Whitthorne men kick
ed, but like Democrats they refused to
