GOOD BALL GAME.
ArdmOre and Purcell Play the Best Game
Ever Witnessed at the Parks Score
to In Favor Of Ardaore.

The best game of bah ever played
in this city was that OF Wednesday
in which the heretofore invincible
Gray S.uggers'' of Purcell went
down before the "A-dmore Browns. I"
Only a moderate size audience wit
nessed the contest oweing to the
pfevaiilg opinion that it would. be a
scrub game, but those who attended
were we'll repaid for their time and
expenditure and the certainty of an
other game of equal merit would
crowd the park with admirers of the
national sport.
The game was full OF snap and 60

or rather out, in the first half OF the
ninth and this remark retired the
side with the score standing two to
the good for Ardmore. The wells Of
the small boy and whoops Of the
local fans took the place of the last
half and the game was over.
With the visitors it seemed a case
of play ball and say nothing. The
utter absence of any signs OF rowdy-
ism on their part, the business like
manner in which the team-worked,
their submission to the umpires
decisions without a kick and their
general department was certainlr an
improvement on many of the clubs
which have heretofore visited Ard
more and demonstrates the fact that
nine men can play ball and be gentle
men at the same time.
The players and positions was as

The Purcell boys play ball from

many friends who will welcome their
return to this city.

A BrIIlIant ceneIu.Ion.

The commencement exercises OF

JOE PATCHEN MAY COME.
The Owner of the Horse Willing tc
Bring Him Here.

Albert Parker has received a letter
from Manager Taylor, who has charge
ofsthe fast pacing horse Joe Patchen, in
which he says that it may be possible
to bring the horse to Topeka during the
Reunion and Festival next fall.
He has also received letter from the
manager of John r. Gentry, who says
that it will be impossible to come to To-
peka during the week named as he has
engagements covering that period.
Mr.. Parker says that there is only
one other horse that can race with
Patchen and that is Robert J., but he
has made no effort to communicate
with the owners of that horse. He will
wait instructions from the Committee
of Fifteen Mr.. Parker says he had
hoped to secure both Patchen and Gen
try, because they are both Kansas bred
horses and would naturally attract
more attention on that account.

ARKANSAS CITY RALLY.
Bryan Followers Celebrated in Large
Mum bers Saturday Night.

Arkansas City, July 28-The largest
political ratification ever held in Ar
kansas City was that of the silver
forces Saturday night. For a week
the Democrats, POpulists and silver
Republicans had been waiting anxious
" for Bryan's Endorsement at St. Louis
and when the news reached here, firing
of anVIs commenced.
At q. m. the parade formed at the
north end of Summit street as follows:
Select Knights band, hambeau club.
float carrying labOring men at work
and drawn by men wearing shields IS
to 1 gives employment" caTriges con-
tanning speakers, Bryan gun club of
46 guns followed by citizens carriages
and Is girls in white blowing tin horns
Charles L. Brown, Republican, acted
as chairman and introduced J. Mack
Love as the first speaker who explain
ed the objects of the gathering and
outlined the financial policy of the
Democratic platform.
]. c. Bradshaw of Winfield said that
''he had had the pleasure of addressing
large audiences, but never by the acre
before
Judge Buck called attention to the
present condition of affairs and show
ed how free silver would eradicate
these conditions. He dwelt on the prop
ositiOn that fixed charges are the same
and the prices of products reduced
twO-thirds owing to the present stand
ard.
Norman Barker and Amos Walton,
Democrats made short speeches which
were well received.
s. J. Gilbert, ex-mayor on the Re
publican ticket. made an earnest re-
quest for all to vote for Bryan and
Kansas. Dr. A. J. Chapel a prominent
Republican, remarked that the hardest
work he had ever done in politics, was
when he run for the legislature 10
years ago, but he thought that it was
time for all men to do hard work in
politics again; not for official position,
but in defense of their homes. FL
nancial seryitude to Great Britain
must be abolished before prosperity
could come to the United States again.
He had followed where the Republican
party had led. but they had led him to
the woods and lost him and the part
ing of the ways had come. He would
vote and work for Wm.J- Bryan of Ne
braska because he believed Bryan rep
resented the people. He was an Abra-
ham Lincoln Republican, but he re-
fused to be made a Grover Cleveland
Republican
at from 5 600 to 5000.

PETERS BOLD PROPHECY.
Says Kansas Will Go for Bryan by
$4,000 Majority.

Senator PETER is home again from
St. Louis where he went to help nom
mate the next president" as he ex-
presses it. The senator went as a spec
tator, however, just to see that the boys
voted all right.
The senator said to a Journal report
er when asked as to his satisfaction
with the outcome of the convention:
I am perfectly satisfied. 1 predict
that it will carry Kansas by $4,000
votes"
viii there be a combination between
the Bryan and SewaH and the Bryan
and Watson electors in the state OF
Kansas?
Yes
''WeII, how will it be done?''
THAT is more than 1 can say. The
details will be arranged by the commit
tees that have been appointed. The ma
tional and state committees will have
to work out the details of the cOmbina-
tons. It is too early yet, anyway, for
anyone to say just what viii be done
have no doubt that everything will be
arranged not only in this state so that
all who are on the side of silver can
vote for the same electors, or so that all
the electors which are chosen by the
people VINO favor silver will not only
vote for the same candidate for presi-
dent, but for the same candidate for
vice president
WAS there any talk among the dele
gates at St. Louis as to what would be
done in regard to a state ticket in kan
saS2''
Not that 7 know Of You know I
was not a delegate, only a spectator.
I was around with the delegates a good
deal and attended some of their eau
cuses. but did not hear them say any
thing about what would be done or
what any of them thought ought to be
done. I have no doubt that there will
be a satisfactory state ticket nomi-
mated. Just on what basis, the ar
rangement will be made of cOurs I
have no idea. I have an idea as to
rangement will be made of course
don't care to make any statement as
to that. There has been so much news
paper talk on that subject already and
more would only be liable to make it
harder to arrange matters. feel quite
sure though that some satisfactory tick
ct will be placed in nomination and
Kansas will be carried by Bryan and
the state ticket by over $4,000 votes.''
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1896-07-28

Kirkpatrick was there and made a
speech to the convention
He discussed the financial issue. It
was quite different from the one he
delivered at Arkansas City last fall at
the soldiers reunion. He was then for
the free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer 16 to / without it we must drift
into poverty and despair. He then said:
The financial plank of the platform
adopted reads as follows: We do not
believe in, neither do we favor mono
metallism in any form whatever, either
of gold or of silver but we do believe in
and favor bi-metallism and in the larg-
est possible use of both gold and silver
as the money of the nation. A dollar of
the one now and ever to be just as
good as that of the other and all money
whether gold, silver or paper, as sound
as the national credit and untarnished
as it's honor"
The Journal is growing in circulation
very rapidly here, over so subscribers
obtained here last Saturday. I am
pleased to see you stand up for the
free coinage of silver. I still maintain
silver coinage is right and many other
Republicans of this county are withme.
