We do not care to thrust our opinion
upon the deliberations of Democracy.
but we do not hesitate TO say that one
of the best and ableSt men the Demo
Gratis have for Governor, is Hon. j. Gar
land Hurst, of jefferson county. His
record in the Legislature was pure
and excellent one, showing him to be a
strong man, honest and alert. whilst his
many charming personal traits have
attached TO him a large number of in
fluential friends. He is a gentleman,
and would make most excellent Gov
ernor.-NaytinsbHrg Herald
WE can heartily endorse the state

LARGE CLASS

Invested with Degrees by the Scottish
Rite Masons.
The second day of the conclave of
the Scottish Rite Masons was attended
yesterday by additional members OF
the fraternity, but the severe weather
evidently kept away from the city
many whose presence was expected
here. The degree Of the Lodge Of Rose
Croix was conferred upon seventeen
candidates-four in addition to the thir-
teen who were invested with the degree
Of Lodge Of Perfection on Tuesday.
The degree was conferred by DR.. John
NJ. Birch, thirty-third degree wise mas
ter.
To-day the lodge will work in the
Kadcsh, and the consistory and degrees
will be conferred upon large class
of candidates. A large number of out
OF town Masons will be here and wit
ness the ceremony, which is said to be
one of the most impressive and beau
tiful in the whole category of the
secret workings of the order.
In the evening there will be ban
quet which will lack nothing usually
attendant upon similar events which
are celebrated for their elaborateness
and taste in every detail.

SPORTING MATTERS.

OSCAR GARDENERS GREAT WORK.
Cincinnati Enquirer.
Oscar Gardner is making the kind of
FIGHTS that pleases the public. Usually
there is no chance for a dispute about
the merits of the contentants after he
is through with a battle. There is
nothing that pleases the public better
than Knockout. Gardner "fiattened"
out Solly Smith in short order last
night. It only required six rounds to
tell the tale.
If Oscar Gardner ever meets any
boxer of high class in one of the Gin
cinnati rings one of the biggest crowds
ever seen at local ringside will visit
the contest. Not only has Gardner
host of friends and admirers in this
city, which was his home for three
years, but he has friends by the score
at Wheeling, Bridgeport, Columbus,
Dayton, Springfield and other cities
and towns in Ohio. Oscar is also a
strong card in the Blue Grass region.
He boxed several times at Lexington.

when boxed Root recently in Chi
cago | knocked him down in the last
round, and he lay on the floor and
would not get up. / had time to go to
my corner and wipe my nose with a
towel before he even started to get up.
Nothing would please me better than
to get another wrack at Root and show
him up"
Il don't think, myself, that Root is
any too game Clipped in a well
known Chicago sport, and | think Billy
Stiff will trim him good when they
fight at Davenport, Ia"
The prompt and decisive way in
which Kid Gardner disposed of Solly
Smith at the Lenox Athletic Club last
night, stamps him as the best boy OF
his pounds in the country. None OF
the little fellows have any business
with him at even weights, and 1t is
doubtful if there is any boy on the
other side who is in his class. And the
beauty of it all is that he is fighter
who is always willing to fight-a nov
city in these conversational hstlc days.
Philadelphia Enquirer.
Gardner, as soon as the fight started,
began to infict punishment on his
man. and in the first round dealt some
heavy blows on Smiths stomach and
ribs. Smith could not land on Gard
ner at all, and the latter scored such
an easy victory that the majority OF
the people present were of the opinion
that he is the best 122 pound fighter In
the world.-Pittsburg Chronlcle-Tele-
graph. =
There are some boxers" said Hugh
Duffy, of the Boston base ball team,
whom l call runaway boxer~ or
course l do not blame a boxer for
sprinting if he has been stung hard, but
great many lead only occasionally
and the rest Of the time run around
the ring. If such a boxer knew that
the referee was deciding against him
at the end of every round, he would
stand up to his man. l would also
make the ring smaller for su1h boxer;
then the public would see more box
ing, and get better returns for their
money"

"that my physical condition to-day is

road, you can judge of my chances.
