A CANDIDATE FOR AN ISSUE.

II the Dep G .ats in this State seriously con-
template making an issue Of the recent election
legislation concerning this city in the coming
campaign 1t is TO be hoped that they will con-
tribute to the gaycty Of nations by selecting
from the candidates for Governor now actively
seeking a nomination an appropriate leader in
such discussion. AS ex-senator Hill and Mr.
Croker are both committed to denouncing the
inauity OF State supervision Of Tammany cleo
tion management. we may assume that the De
mocracy will not neglect to make all possible
cnpital out Of The new election law Therefore
II is not surprising 70 see reports from various
parts Of the State that the Hon. Elliot Dan
forth is making strong fight and is thought by
his friends to have good chances OF securing ::
nomination. We realize that the selection OF n
Democratic candidate Is none Of our affair, and
do not presume TO advise our Democratic
friends concerning their nominations. but mere
ly for the sake Of artistic harmony, from the
simple desire OF seeing a perfect picture Of
homerule-and-a- pure-ballot virtue, we cannot
help sympathzing with the candidacy of the
Hon Elliot Danforth on platform Of honest
elections free from the interference of State
Officials"
The Hon. Elliot Danforth knows something

WILL HAVE BASEBALL
Hutchinson and Wichita Will
Have Teams.
TWO SITES FOR PARK
Fence Will be Finished and
Players Here in March.

The meeting which was called for Feb
ruary 5th by Mr.. ]. E. Alexander to form
a Kansas and Oklahoma baseball league,
at the Manhattan hotel, proved to be
failure No one responded except Mr..
Ed. Moore of Hutchinson. The two gen.
tlemen talked the matter over and both
deciced that as the other towns exhibited
no interest that they would put in indi-
vidual teams.
Mr.. Moore returned home and will I'M
doubtedly get together a good team that
will be a credit to his city and one that
can play ball from the start.
Mr. Alexander started out yesterday af-
ternoon and met with considerable sue
cess. He was only at work for few hours
but every one he called on responded to
his proposition. He desires to build q
baseball park and in order TO do so he
started a subscription paper among the
business men, asking them to subscribe
whatever they felt able. He agrees to
then give them advertising space on the
fence, each one being allotted space by
dra wing for it. He received upwards OF
$40
Mr.. Alexander has two sites for a ball
ground. One is about twelve blocks from
the heart of the city and traversed on
two sides by the car line. The other is
in an opposite direction but is only seven
| blocks from the corner of Main and Doug
las. The latter, however, is not on the
street car line, but is on the line roposed
| by the new company when they start TO
| build.
Mr. Alexander is now in communication
with players and he has received word
| from enough to warrant first rate team.
| All of them are professionals and have
| been in the business from three to seven
years, which gives them enough expert
| ence to make the prediction that they will
| be too swift for any of the teams that
| they may come in contact with.
| The grounds will undoubtedly be finished
by the middle of March and the players
will be here by that time and be in fair
practice. The Cincinnati, Cleveland and
| Chicago National league teams will then
be coming north from Texas, where they
will have been getting in condition for
their sason which will open in April. Mr.
| Alexander has written to all of these
| clubs asking for dates. The Kansas City
| Blues and the Omaha team will be
brought here whenever they have an OH
| day. The other dates will be filled in with
| semi-professional teams from Kansas
Missouri and Oklahoma Later in the
| season the other towns may take enough
| interest in the national game to want tc
form a league, which will be done If only
for three months. 1t now looks as Il
| Wichita and Hutchinson would both have
| good professional teams, where one car
spend entoyably a hot afternoon.
