BUNcoERs ABROAD: BEWARE

1t is the trick of the Bryanized De-
mocracyr this fan TO make false
charges against Republican methods,
raise a big dust, hire Republican mall
contents to organize Republican bolts
and then coax individual Republicans
to desert their party on the represen-
tation that party ties needn't count
for anything in an off year." BY this
trick, if it shall work, the Bryanites
will get foothold for a hopeful fight
in national campaigns, and make just
so much more trouble for Mckinley,
the Republican congress and the cause
of sound rCnCy.
You now see tn. gh this trick. Are

The Greenpoint Sporting club OF

ager, has offered purse of $1,000 for a
20-round boxing contest between Jim
Judge and Charlie McKeever, of Phila-

liminary terms. The club is waiting to
hear from McKeever
BY the way, Skelly is offering a
twenty gold piece as prize for
a name for his new club. His Scranton
friends are not barred out. The propo-
sition is explained as follows in the
New York Evening Journal:
Jack Skelly makes an offer which, at
least, has the character of novelty. He
wants a striking and unique name for
his A. c., and admits his inability to
choose it to his own satisfaction, so he
offers a $50 gold piece to the man who
will send him the most fitting and
original title. 1t is to be a sporting
resort above all else, and those who
work their brains in couning up the
name, must bear this in mind
