so far seems 10 have escaped the at

THE game was between the Campton
and Hazel Green Clubs, and was
played in an open field slopng away
from the diamond. the center fielder
being out of sight from the home
plate. The Hazel Green pitcher used
a little out curve, while the Campton
artist threw a straight ball with
terrific speed. The game was a veri-
table slugging match, one player get
tirg nine home runs, and fifty six be-
ing made by Camption in one inning

playing in the game would come up
to the bat and swipe the ball so that
the spectators could hear II whistle
until 1t disappeared from view. As
the players would exhaust themselves
with chasing the batted balls and run

from the bystanders until ffteen or

The Maysville Club has played in hard
luck this season sure.
There has been lost to the Management
something in the neighborhood of $500
on account OF rain.
Take the game that was to have been
played Thursday. BAD the rain ceased
there would have been at least 400 people
out to witness the game.
There were several postponed games
at Knoxville also, which proved a dead
loss to the boys and it is to be hoped

say sure, because they are not like the
Reds-they have never yet seen a club
especially an amateur-that would scare
them out of filling a date. They will try
anything once. This promises to be the
best game Of the season.

FUSION

While the fusion of all parties who
are Oppased to the gold gamblers is
desirable everywhere it is absolutely
necessary TO secure success in SEVERAL
States. In Michigan and Washington
for instance, the State laws enacted by
Republican Legislatures prohibit the
name of any candidate appearing on
more than L ticket. This prevents
the Democrats aud Populists from nom
mating the same persons for office. TO
consolidate the silver element against
the gold men it is, therefor. necessary
TO have complete fusion so that POpu-
lists and Democrats can unite upon
one set Of candidates and give them
unanimous support. 1t is proposed in
botn States to hold the Democratic and
PopuliSt conventions at the same time
and place and nominate ticket, a
part Of OF which may appear on the
official ballot as Democratic and Il
part underline designation Of Populist,
as that will enahle both to mantain
their organizations.
In Oregon the Populists are in the
ascendancy, and last spriug at their
State convention they dominated four
Presidential Electors. The Democrats
have also an electoral ticket in the
field. Both Populists and Democrats
are for Bryan for President, but the
POpulists are for Watson for Vice
President and the Democrats are for
Sewall. Now they propose to withdraw
two of the Populist and two Of the
Democratic electors and unite on one
ticket. The Popnlists have agreed to
the proposition, but the Democratic
electors have not agreed as to who
shall withdraw, and the State Central
Committee may have t. interfere.

Relative to the fusion of the Kansas
Democrats and Populists the Kansas city
Times prints an interview with eN-CongreSa
mar William A. Harris who is quoted as
saying The Kansas plan is for the Popu-
lists, at their state convention, August 9Th
to indorse the Bryan and Sewall electors
whom the Democrats will name at Hutch
insOn the preceding day. We will nom
mate our candidate for state offices and tel
egraph the Democrats the result. They
will indorse oul nominees En- Governor
Leweling says Bryan will carry Kansas by
10000 majority.
The goldbug press asserts that there is
absolutely no possibility OF the election of
Bryan. 1t also asserts that the reduction
of the gold reserve thirteen millions in as
many days is due to the nomination of
Bryan. What WE would like to know is
how the nomination of a man who has no
chance or election can affect the gold reserve

Appeal.
Why should a man want a gold standard
that he never owns, to travel in foreign
countries where he never goes, and objects
to silver and greenbacks for fear he will
get too much, while he and his family are

Temperance Meetings.

Steyer's opera house was packed to
the brim Sunday evening. The city
churches all had closed and everyone
joined the temperance meeting at the
opera house. A sextette ofyoung men
furnished an excellent musical num-
ber, Rev. ID. l.. Hilliard led in prayer,
and after the singing of hymn by
the entire congregation Hon. A. G.
Rankin gave one of the best temper
ance addresses it has been our pleasure
to listen to. He is an orator of re-
cOgnized ability and held the close at
tenetiOn of the vast audience for an
hour. After the address an opport-
unity was given to sign the Temper
ance Pledge and 265 signed it.
A mems meeting was held Sunday
afternoon, and was well attended, Mr..
Rankin speaking to quite large audi
ence.
Another successful meeting was
held last night in the presence of
good audience, and they are to be con-
tinued through the week.

THE TRUTH HURTS.

The editor of the Monona Leader
commenting on our recent reply to the
Decorah Republican editorial on con-
gressional matters, admits that Mr..
| Updegraff has had four terms in con-
gress, to say nothing of his being once
defeated, and cody says: "Bless your
soul, Akers, that is one of the chief
reasons why Mr.. Updegraff should be
retained" We have observed that
the dove that's winged, flutters. So it
hurt, did it? We expected the truth
would hurt some, but we have our
duty to our patrons and the Republi-
can party to'perform without fear or
favor. We commend you for the
truthful admission, Bro. Otis, but do
not agree with you that Mr.. U. is the
only man worthy of being sent to con-
gress. There are great many good,
worthy, capable, talented men in the
Republican party in this district and
in the state. Nor do we agree with
you that his lease of the position
should continue on and on indefinitely,
ad infinitum. We assert, however,
that the Republican party should be
true to its own best interests and thus
serve the best interests of the people in
the Fourth District as well as through
out the nation. In the Hon. James E..
Blythe the grand old party would
have ca ndidate who would add lus-
tire and honor to the party, and in
crease its list of faithful, brilliant, pub
lie servants. He is one of the people,
in close touch with them, who knows
the wants of the people, and who has
the courage to advocate those wants
for the people fearlessly. We are of the
opinion that the people can and will
decide mo ifs about it) that it does not
require one skilled in the occult to read
the handwriting on the wall.
We cheerfully concede Bro. Otis the
right of individual opinion" AL
though he is wrong, we believe the
people will correct this error at the pri-
maries.

The Reveries of a Bachelor.

The "Reveries of a Bachelor" at the
Grand May lst, promises to be one of
the prettiest entertainments given in
Decorah. Over seventy-tive people
will take part, including twenty-five
of our prettiest young ladies. The
Living Flag will be given by sixty OF
our brightest children. The living
statuary is simply beautiful, also the
living pictures. The name of the
bachelor is to be kept secret, but a
chance is given to everyone to guess
who Decorah's most popular bachelor
is. A beautiful diamond ring will be
given to the child who sells the most
tickets. The ring may be seen in Tor
