Carni and Derby Will Compete in the
10-Mile Road Race.

lO-Mtlc hoao mace.
Royal A. Carni and j. F. Derby of
the Century Cycle club will compete
today in the 10-mile road race which
will take place in Milford
James W. Grady of the club wrote
last evening to James Rutherford of
Winchendon, telling the latter to drop
training. Rutherford, who is mem
Der of the club, kept in training at Mr..
Grady's direction in anticipation of a
race between Royal A. Carni and Will
liam Balm of the club Had the men
come together Rutherford would have
acted as pacemaker. He wrote Mr..
Grady day or two ago that he can
see no races in his vicinity, and unless
there was strong possibility of the
Century men being matched would
like to stop training. Mr.. Grady re-
piled last evening that the race is off,
and Rutherford will train no more.

Philadelphia, Sept. Philadelphia was
outplayed at every point by New York
today and was defeated handily. With
the exception of Delehanty none of the

Brown : Holy Cross
the Only One in the
City Today.
TECH WILL PLAY WILLISTON.
W. P. l. Second Eleven al
Southbridge and Paro-
chial High at Spencer.

There will be but one foot ball game
in this city today, Holy Cross and
Brown. at the oval. Tech will play
at Easthampton with Williston acad-
envy. Worcester high school and Wor-
cester academy have off days. The
former had game arranged with
Gardner high. and academy had one
on the card with Somerville high, but
both Cancelled the games early in the
week, and neither has been able to get
a game since. The high school lads
made an effort to arrange a game be-
tween the two teams, but academy
would not consent.
The Holy Cross Brown contest at the
oval will, however, supply enough foot
ball for one day. Holy Cross has never
been able to compete with Brown in
foot ball, but has put in hard work
preparing for today's contest, and the
students won't be greatly surprised at
victory. Brown Is not as strong as
in years past, while Holy Cross is
showing up stronger than ever, which
tends to equalize the playing strength
of the teams.
Last year Holy Cross. was badly
beaten by Brown, but it was in the first
half. The Worcester col1egians put UP
magnificent game in the last half,
holding Brown down to a single touch
down. The students are taking the
last half of that game as a standard
by which to judge the strength of the
teams, and figuring out hot contest
in which Holy Cross will hold Brown
down pretty low or win.
The lineup Of the teams will be as
follows.

in weight which she used with good effect
throughout the game, breaking through
Andover's line constantly.
After seven minutes of play, Simmons
of Williams kicked over the goal line
from the seven-yard line for the first
touchdown. Caldwell tried for goal and
failed.
In the second period Williams used the
same tactics getting the ball from the

Worcester academy foot ball players
took hard practice yesterday. There
were no new men out, and the players
on the hospital list, Nelson and Norris,
were content to take things easy. Coach
w. e. Donovan was assisted by Nc
Dermott and Clark. The men are
showing considerable Improvement, and
on their next appearance will surprise
those who witnessed their game with
Tech.
The question of coach remains in ex-
actly the same position as it was two
weeks ago. The management is after
a good man, as it has been right along,
but good men are scarce, being under
engagement to bigger teams than the
academy eleven. A coach will be Sc
cured as soon as the management can
find one who is considered among the
top-notChers.

THE ELECTION AND BRYAN
Richmond Times" Dem.)l

Richmond Times" tDem.)l
The Hon. William j. Bryan was very
much in evidence in the late campaign and
if he can find any comfort in the returns
from Tuesdays election it must come out
of his own State. There is none on the
outside.
There was red hot revolt in Kentucky
against boss rule and political corruption.
Mr.. Bryan went into Kentucky, canvassed
the State from one end to the other and
pleaded with the Democrats to stand by
the regular party nominee in spite Of the
irregularity of the Goebel convention, for,
said he to lose Kentucky in 1899 will be
to deal blow to the silver cause in 1900.
He was asked by Candidate Brown if he
approved the methods employed in the
nomination of Goebel and if he approved
the Goebel election law. Mr.. Bryan re-
piled that he had not come to Kentucky
to discuss conventions and election laws,
but to plead for party regularity and free
silver. Vast crowds turned out to lear
him and he talked to them almost with
tears in his eyes, telling them that the fate
OF free silver was in the balance.
But for all his pleading Kentucky, which
had been won back into the Democrtic
fold, has again been carried by the Re-
publicans and boiling Democrats by
greater plurality than it was carried by in
1896. Mr.. Bryan claimed that in 1896 he
was cheated out of the Kentucky vote,
but this time all the election machinery
was in the hands of the Democrats and the
Goebel election law, which was warranted
never to fail, was in full force.
From Kentucky Mr.. Bryan went into
Ohio and travelled all over the State max
ing speeches from the rear end of "a palace
car. He arraigned the present adminis-
tration, talked about imperialism, and in
many places denounced the money power

IOWA AN INDEX.

Our Democratic friends are striving to
make themselves believe that the results of
the State elections on the 9TH inst. were
not significant on national questions that
are likely to be made issues in 1900. They
point to Ohio, Kentucky and Maryland as
proof of their views, contending that the
outcome in those States was produced by
factional differences and local questions.
This may probably be true; but there is
one state where such conditions did not
exist, and where the contest was made on
purely national questions, that state is
Iowa.
AS defiance to the position OF Mr.
Bryan, who was recognized as the leader
of the Democracy and its certain candidate
in 1900 for the Presidency, the Repub-
licans of Iowa in their State platform de-
clared unequivocally for the gold standard
and for expansion. 1t was the boast of
Mr.. Bryan and his supporters that the po-
sitions taken by the Iowa Republicans
would, to say the least, make that State
doubtful one, and that Democratic gains
would be very large, because Of the decla-
rations for tue gold standard and expan-
sion. The contest was made chiefly by
the Bryanites on the anti-expansion issue,
which they had raised throughout the
country.
There was no triangular fight in the
State rs witnessed in ether states The
Republicans and Democrats were the only
parties that had candidates before the
Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1899-11-16

and trusts, declaring that the country
could not enjoy permanent prosperity I'M
til the minis should be opened to the free
coinage of silver. He urged the Demo
Gratis to stand by Mclean and pointed out
what grand thing it would be for the
Democracy in 1900, if Ohio could be whip
ped into the Democratic line. But Mr..
Bryan's plea was vain and the plea of John
r. McLean's newspaper and money bar
rel was also in vain. In spite Of the de-
lection caused by Jones, who ran as an In
dependent Republican candidate, Ohio is
Republican by an increased plurality.
But there was one State into which Mr..
Bryan did not go. 1t was the State of
Maryland. Maryland is normally a Demo
cratic State, but revolted against German 9
bossism and Bryan's silverisln. But this
year the Democrats got together, deter
mined that they would reclaim the State
from the negroes and white Republicans,
and so they framed State platform which
did not SAY one word about free silver or
other pet doctrines of the Chicago plat
form. Mr.. Bryan did not go near and did
not take hand in the fight. The result
was that Maryland rolled up an old-fash-
Toned Democratic majority. Not only did
the Maryland platform ignore free silver
and Organism, but Hon. John Walter
Smith, who was elected Governor, and
Hon. Isidore Rayner, Attorney General,
are both pronounced sound money Demo
crats

WHEELER PLEASED WITH PHILIP
PINES.
of Anti-ExpansionistS Assist
Aguinaldo in Maintaining Warfare
and Keep the Natives From Us.

General Joseph Wheeler has recently
written letter to Mr.. w. J. Wood, of
Florence, Ala, in which he tells some
plain truths about the Philippines and the
evil work of the anti-expansionists in this
country. The letter is as follows:
81 am delighted with the Philippine
Islands. | have no doubt that little
push and energy this Fall will crush out
the Aguinaldo instruction. Out of 5000,
OOJ of people in these islands l do not
think that he has more than 10000 sol
diers, and in square fight 5000 Amerl-
cans would tear them to pieces. All that
is necessary to crush them out at once Is
for the army to get at them and keep at
them until the work is done.
"The evil features of these islands have
been exaggerated TO our people. Their
extent is so great from north to south and
the variation of altitude is such that there
is great variety of climate and variety OF
productions. Americans will find this an
excellent field for their energies, and the
wealth producing power Of these islands
under American influence will be very
great.
"The action of some people in the Unit
ed States in asserting that the people of
the Philippines ought to have independ-
ence does a great deal of harm and assists
Aguinaldo in maintaining the insurrection,
as he publishes all assertions by Americans
of that character, and he tells his suppol
tiers that if they hold out until Winter
independence will be given them. 1t also
has bad effect in this-that the people
who are disposed TO be favorable to us
and desire us to govern the islands fear 10
assert themselves because they know that
if they should do so and the Americana
should abandon them they would be in
great danger of their lives and in all proba-
bilty their property would be confscated.
con the 9Th of September l had a lit
tie fight with the enemy at this point, but
it did not amount to much, although as
important as some other engagements
which have been dignified in the papers as
fights. | am sorry to say that much
which appears in the papers of the United
States is gross exaggerations. | expect to
be on hand fol Congress. With high re-
CARDS"

THE OLD BUGREAR.
A Democratic Newspaper Protests
Against Its Party Debating
Standing Army.

New Haven Register" (Dem)l
The experienced Washington observers
have decided that feature, political
feature of the next session OF Congress
will be never-ceasng debate upon the
question of large standing army. This
is not at all improbable, but the outlook
becomes painfully fatiguing for the rest OF
the country.
1t is declared that the Democratic lead
ers are expecting to make no end of polit-
ical capital for 1900 consumption by a
graudstand attack upon the inevitable
proposition for the maintenance of the
army on the 100000 footing as long as it
may be needed. In this move they will
be cordially supported by Senator Hoar,
Senator Wellington and presumably by
Senator Mason, who is counted on by his
allies of the opposition to keep on blushing
for his country whenever the opportunity
presents. Opposition to large standing
army is shib5oeth that has done long if
not useful service. The horrid spectacle
of 1OO, COO soldiers trampling upon popular
liberties will be paraded through both
wings of the Capitol with all the stage
effects that oratory and gesticular athletics
can produce.
What will interest most people in this
connection will be the extent to which this
sort of political slang whanging can sue
coed. There is nothing novel or original
in the plan Of forcing a counter issue from
the discussion of the main issue, and it
sometimes succeeds. In our opinion,
however, there never was time When the
were such that the chances
of SUCCESS remain doubtful to rely upon.
1t is very difficult undertaking to scare
75, 900, 900 of people with 100000 soldiers.
1t is not so difficult to take the measure of
the men or party undertaking it. The
is in no danger of militarism, pres
ent or remote. Its awakening will do no
harm.
