LYLE
Yesterday by President HSwell-Biiiy Niles
Succeeds Him.

Succeeds Him.
Ed. Lyle was yesterday morning re-
lieved of the captaincy and manage
ment of the Wheeling base ball club.
Pops" work has not heen altogether
satisfactory as a player, and he has
not achieved the best results with the
team. These are probably the reasons
for his unconditional release. He
found no trouble in catching on
elsewhere, as he is a gooG hitter, and
his knowledge of the game, ard his
ability to handle players. will prove
invaluable. In yesterdays game Wells
played right field, and lid excellent
work.
After the release of Lyle, President
Howell nominated three players to
succeed him, and allowed the club to
choose n of the three. They were
catcher Twineham, third baseman
Niles, and second baseman Lyons. The
players selected Niles by a close vote.
Billy is a veteran player, and is steady
and cool at critical moments. He
should make an excellent field captain.
Lyle has been signed by Mansfield, and
left with that club last night.

Are Both Here Getting Into shape Tor,
Their Coming Bout.
Harry Fischer, of Brooklyn, arrived
in the city yesterday, accompanied by
his wife, and both are guests of Mr.. and
Mrs. Oscar Gardner, on Fourteenth
street. They will probably remain a
week or ten days after the contest at
the Metropolitan club house next Mon
day night. Fischer is in good shape,
but will start training this morning, so
as to be in excellent condition when
he enters the ring.
Dick Moore is still training at Rud-
ler's place, on the National Road, and
has already taken off considerable
weight. His cheeks do not have the
1abby appearance they wore when he
entered the ring with Fischer a few
days ago.. Moore is determined to give
a good account of himself, and a bang
up contest between the big fellows may
be expected.

Nick Young. This takes one game
from the lost column. Yesterdays
game with Mansfield will not be figured
In the per centage of either club until
a decision is reached, inasmuch as there
appears to be excellent grounds for the
1t to Wheeling.
Beec-ler, the little left fielder of the
Mansfield team, Is a star, and will some
day be in faster company. He is a
brilliant fielder, a good hitter, and a
daring base runner.
President Howell was subjected to
considerable criticism for not having a
supply of balls in the club house. Cap
tain Niles went after them, but failed
to find any.
The Wheeling Club left for New Cas-
tie last night, where a series of games
will be opened to-day, including a
double-header on Saturday. The new
infielder will join the team in New
Castle.
Yesterdays game will be protested,
of course. If Lally was a stickler for
rules, he should have had extra balls
in his pocket at all times during the
game. He should also have investigat-
ed the conduct of first baseman Law,
and catcher Belt. President Howell
should support his protest with afida-
Wits, which will not be hard to secure.

1t must be apparent to experienced
politicians like Croker and German
that the democracy has no show Of vim

are able to reason from cause 10 effect
have already admitted to themselves
the certainty Of republican victory in

back of the democratic party.
The eastern democrats, with view

Bryan and his followers. They know
that there is no hope for the party mex.

him to 60 through the motions OF p

of interest to the contest. The result
will be to bury Mr.. Bryan, free silver,

democrats show for a new deal and
reorganization on rational and popu-

The Meaning of Bryan in 1900

To persons who have given any
thought to the natural differences be-
tween William Jennings Bryan and
such democrats as Mr.. Croker and Mr..
German there appears something sus.
picious in the unanimous support
which these eastern statesmen and
politicians are giving to the presiden'
tial claimant from Nebraska. Before
his departure for Europe the Tammany
chief made the decisive announcement
that Bryan would be the presidential
nominee Of his party in 1900, and Mr.,
German and other democrats Of the
conservative school, to which Bryan Is
distinctively antagonistic, have sane
toned Cookers choice.

not hitherto been with Bryan, raises Z

yesterday by delegation representing
the Gentle element in Utah, who are
here to oppose Mr.. Roberts. 1t makes
the assertion, among other points, that
the compact between Utah and the
other states-as evidenced by many
public acts of the authorities of Utah
has been violated by Mr.. Roberts.
That Mr.. Roberts himself understood
that compact to mean the discontinue
ance of unlawful cohabitation, the
answer points to his registration oath
of 1895, in which he swore it to be his
intention to obey the law prohibiting
unlawful cohabitation.

They Are Looking for Issues.

1t Is entirely safe to say that no in
telligent leader in the democratic party
is satisfied with the issues upon which
the party is proposing to 90 before the
country next year. There is not a
man among them but that would be
more than glad to exchange the whole
batch for one really good and strong
issue. The democratic party is not
particularly blessed with capable lead
ers these days, but its poverty is most
conspicuous in the matter of issues.
1t hasn't any and 1t can't get any.
The leaders have been talking silver,
anti-expansion and anti-trusts, but all
the time hoping that something better
would turn up. They have been
cudgeling their brains and sweating
blood to devise a platform that would
appeal to the people, but in vain.
They can find nothing. There is moth
ing to find.
Shall the democratic party next year
stand for free silver? Every sane man
knowns the issue is stale, lifeless, sui
cidal. Shall "anti-imperialism" be the
sloganP The cry is pointless for the
reason that there is no imperialism and
no imperialists. 1t is worse than point
less because expansion is an accom-
plished fact and the country believes
in expansion. viii the party go back
and dig up the tariff issue and seek to
make protection responsible for trustsf
There is no encouragement there.
Trusts flourish as rankly in the free
list as among the protective schedules.
Business interests would be radically
opposed to further agitation Of the
tariff just as they have adapted them
selves to its provisions and set every
industrial wheel in motion.
None of these visible issues is potent.
And yet democracy must have issues
Where will 1t get themp There's the
rub, Issues cannot be made to order
