Some of the Strong Teams of the East Will
 Play in New Haven-PhiladeIphia May
 Join the League.
 The prospects for a successful base ball season for the Texas Steers" grow brighter every day and nothing will be left undone which will aid in bringing the championship to this city. Manager Sullivan has signed a tenn which play ed under him last year, every member of which has earned a reputation as be- ing steady, hard working ball player, always on the alert for the interests of the club.
 As the loca tion of the grounds has been practically settled upon, which will be Elm City park, work will be commenced on the building of the grand stand and bleachers as soon as the weather proves favorable enough.
 The Fair Haven and Westville rail- road has contributed a sum of money which will be used in the erection of the grand stand and making the grounds present an attractive appearance, as we'll as being comfortable for the pat rons of the game.

Omaha. July 2s.-The Hon. J. ster-

Nebraska Democrats that his presence
is for a conference relative TO HIS can
didacy on the gold standard ticket.
An old line Democrat who Is high IN
the councseIs Of the administration
Democrats OF this state, said:
There is no question that the pre-
vailing sentiment among the honest
money Democrats Of Nebraska is
strongly in favor OF putting up ma
tionaI ticket with an out-and-out gold
Democrat as candidate for president.
The feeling is born solely Of the de-
sire to do everything possible to aid in
the election OF Mckinley, and not In
the expectation that the ticket viii be
successful in the end. The aim OF the
honest money men is to down the
Bryan craze. There is no division OF
sentiment ON that point
THE only difference Of opinion ex-
listing among the gold Democrats he
continued ''is with reference to the
best method of contributing to the
election OF the Republican ticket. and
saving the country from the calamity
which would surely follow the election
Of such candidate"
