senatorial fielding and terrific batting
of Judge Andrews, to the daring base
running of Hon. A. Nj. Spear.
And talk about kicking!
Well, there. it does really take law
yers to do that after ALL and when they
lined up around the distracted umpire,
and got right down to business, Doe
and Flanagan were simply outclassed.
Everybody got their moneys worth,
though it is reported that several of
the spectators laughed so heartily that
they were obliged to be carried home.
1t was perfect day. Everyone felt
just like playing ball, and how they
did play,
If anyone failed to see the phenomi-
nal play of Fred Bean at short field.
they missed the opportunity of a life
time. Atkins and Foster were the bat
terry for the All kennebec team and
Burleigh and Quimby for the Au-
SuStdS- botH ulu good work.
The agile work of the nght-footed
Joseph Williamson. Jr., at second base
called forth general and audible ad-
miration. Hildreth played star game
at second for his team, and Mayor CIa-
son showed that he had not forgotten
how to capture the sphere since the
days when he was the crack first base
man of the Bates college team
Butler was worthy rival for honors
and held down the first bag for the

Fisher at short field also did some
great work for Augustus while little
Silas Clason led his side at the bat
with no less than three with a total of
six hits.

give detailed account of this great
contest for it was well worthy of it,

Symbolism OF Flowers.

An Augusta man furnishes this sym
which was advocated some time ago as
the national flowerof the United States
is embematic of encouragement. The
arbor vitae is indicative of unchangine
friendship, the symbol being no doubt
suggested by the evergreen of the
plant. The myrtle plant has always
been regarded as the emblem of love
Among the Greeks and Romans it was
planted in cemeteries. The box is re
garded as symbolic of constancy. It is
several times thus alluded to in the
lighter English poems of the last CEN
tury. The verbena is indicative of
sensibiity. This plant is said by some
naturalists to display almost animate
reason in choosing it's habitat The
monkshood is considerM in Switzerland
an emblem of danger. 1t is said that
this symbolism abides only in the
Protestant faiths The fern is indica-
tive of fascination. In Saxony the
present by lover to his sweetheart in
a handful of ferns is equivalent to a
proposal The pink is considered in the
south of France as symbolic of pure af-
fection. Peasant girls along the French
Riviera wear pinks at their weddings.
The honeysuckle symbolizes a bond of
love. The climbing habit of this plant,
Clinging as it does, to any support is
responsible for the symbolism

THE RESULT.

The very latest telegraphic reports, up to the hour of going to press, indi- cate hat Major Mckinley has been elected President by very large ma iority. This has been officially con eeded by Senator Jones. Chairman of the Democratic National committee, who h as issued a manifesto in relation thereto.
 In Arizona, Hon. Mark A. Smith has been elected delegate to congress by c majority of about 1000. He carried nearly every county in the territory, bis majority in the county of Maricopa being about 400. Doran earned the counties of Apache, COconIno and Nav sjo, but only by very small majorities. His pluI allty in this county was only 8 votes. The vote for O 'Neill. popuIist, was not nearly so large as that of two years ago.
 The result in this county is that the entire Democratic ticket, with the ex- ception of Ben Schuster, candidate for Treasurer, was elected. This insures an economical administration of pub. llc affairs in Apache county for the two years to come. The Board of Super visors of thls county has been Demo- cratic for many years, and the result oi this election is that all three mem. bers are Democrats. L. J. Brown, at present chairman, received the most votes at the election, anj is selected to serve for .he ng term. He, having served we'll and faithfully for the past two wears, this was deserved distinc- ton, besides securing to the county. for the next four years, a chairman of the Board of Supervisors who has the nat uraI ability, coupled with an experience that will insure to the citizens and tax payers of thiscounty continuation oi his splendid management of the past | two years.

NO DISLOYAL MUTTERING Chairman Jones Assures the
 Support of All Americans.

Senator Jones, Chairman of the Dem- ocratic National committee. has issued the following statement in regard to the result of the late election:
 ''The result of the presidential cleo. ton is apparently no longer ia doubt. It has been one of the closest contests the peOpIe have ever been called on to determine in recent years. We have claimed the election on our advices from states admittedly in doubt, Tn which We knew there had been many frauds, and from which there were evidences of tampering with the returns. It seems now apparent that Bryan, after mak. ing the most brilliant campaign in the history Of our country and having car. ried most of the states claimed to be doubtful. has not carried enough to as- sure his success in the electoral college. Bryan electors have been chosen from all the states south of the Potomac and Ohio except West Virginia all west of the Missouri except California and Or ckOus I1c udS clcCLOThA fOtCog Au0 this numhe may be increased by final returns from states yetin question. He has not obtained enough votes to carry tine electoral college. Thus this remark. able campaign closes with the election of Wm. Mckinley. The result was brought about by every kind of coercion and intimidation on the part of the money power, including threats of lock. outs and dismissal and impending star. vation; by the employment of by far the largest campaign fund ever used Tn this country and by the subornation of large portion of the American press.
 ''The president-elect and his party are under pledge to restore prosperity to this country. As chef executive MT. Mckinley will have the cordial support of millions of patriotic Americans who cast their votes for William Jennings Bryan They bow to the majesty of the office and abide by the result with none fthe mutter ngs that would have come from the monied power, had 1t been unsuccessful.
 "They are confident the gold stand ard cannot give the promised prosper ity, but will gladly welcome it if it comes. They will continue the great struggle for the uplifting of humanity, and the maintenance of the dignity of onr country in the establishment of an American monetary system. And the Democratic party, aided by it's present allies, will still uplift the bimetallic standard and bear It on to victory.

 Committee.
