Manchester 10. oelwein q

On Friday last occurred the much
talked Of and final game between the
"professed' amateur champions of the
state, Oelwein and the Manchester ag-
gregation.
The Manchester team, smarting from
the remembrance of the unsportman
like way In which Oelwein defeated
them short time previous, opened
their batteries on Hallet, who by the
way assisted in the robbery at Oelwein,
and succeeded in getting five singles,
two doubles and two triples Off his de-
livery, which, with six bases on balls
and twelve errors by his co-partners in
the farce resulted in twelve runs for the
boys in grey.
Brown, on the other hand, pitched a
remarkable game against Buchan' s
Indians and while he also allowed nine
hits, they were SO sadly scattered that
four runs was Oelwein's sum and total
at the finish. Brown was steady at all
stages and held up his reputation for
growing stronger each inning by re-
firing Hallett, Buchan and Dryer, Del
veins premier batters in the last in.
ming without allowing any one of the
three to hit outside the diamond.
Dougherty played phenomenal game
at second and accepted twelve out of
the thirteen chances which came his
way.
The less said of the fielding of the
Oelwein team the better, for it would
put to shame even the efforts of the
Bogtown Stars and let it suffice to say
that Patterson, he of the silent face,
made four glazing and costly misplays.
The only redeeming feature of their
playing was a grandstand catch by A.
Dayis and the all around good work of
Parsons and Bantz in the outfield:
Manchester made her runs in the
following manner: In the first Hoag re-
ceived base on balls and scored when
Patterson missed Malvin's grounder and
on McIntyre's pretty single. The
second was productive of four obtained
by base on balls to Jayne, ..Dougherty's
double, Leehan's scorching three base
hit, Hoag's single, and an error by A.
Davis. The fourth bore one by bases
on balls to Clemans and Moore, Dike's
error and Hoag's long fly to right. The
eighth brought the slaughter of the inno-
cents and through grace OF Mclntyre's
two base poke, Jayne's and Cleman's
singles, Malven's long triple and two
errors by Mr.. Patterson yielded SIX runs
and ended the scoring by the home
team.
Oelweln scored in but two innings,
the third and the sixth. In the third
Buchan and Parsons received bases on
balls and both scored on Patterson's
pretty two Dagger to left. In the sixth
A. Davis singled and w. Davis received
q life on Dougherty's error, both scor-
ed on hits by Bantz and Parsons,

Why BRYAN Win be Eleoted ?

Aside from all questions relating
alnectly to trusts, imperialism and f.
oance, there are reasons Inherent
,yhyaBryan will be elected this year.
in our system of government why
In one sense this is government by
parties, in which experience has
taught the electors that to secure re-
suits they must avoid factional divi-
sions, make sacrifices to secure unity of
action, and align themselves with one
or the other of the two leading politi-
cal organizations Of the country.
While this is true, it does not follow
by any means that all of the mon who
vote the ticket of particular party at
a given election, favor all that party
stands for at that time. Tho best that
the thinking elector can do is to vote
for the candidates OF the party that
stands for the largest number OF things
which he fayors. And in making his
decision he usually compares the prom
ises OF the party seeking power with
peri crmace of the party in power, and
the difference between promise and
performance is all in favor of the party
seeking power. And this is especially
true when the party in power has fall
en- short, as it usually does, of the ex-
pectations Of the electorate.
Then there is another feature con
nected with our elections, which must
be considered if we desire to correctly
forecast their results. No administra-
tion can r. cognizs and fully satisfy, in
the dis tribution of federal patronage,
all the various interests and factions
OF any party. Frequently the most de-
serving men, the men who contributed
most to the party's success before the
election, are entirely overlooked and
disregarded after the election, and such
men would not be human if they did
not feel dissatisfied.
| If these causes are not potent factors,
j upon what theory can the history Of
Amer lean politics for the past 2S years
be explained? No president has beer
elected to a second continuous tern
since the election of Grant in 1872
When Cleveland was nominated for ;
second term at St. Louis, in 1883, hi
election seemed to be absolutely sure
but Harrison easily defeated him tina
year. And when Harrison was renom
mated in 1892, his reelection seemet
equally as much foregone conclusion
as did the election of Cleveland foul
years previous; but, contrary to tn
general expectations, Harrison wa
overwhelmingly defeated that year.
Is it not reasonable to expect tina
Mckinley will furnish third example
