HOW 1T HAPPENED.

The so-called democrat papers that
have been knocking on the Democratic
party for the last i've years are the loud
est in their talk since the election, ex-
planning how it all happened. tits easy
to explain after it is all over. Every.
body knows how it happened. We did
not have votes enough.
The other fellows had the votes, that's
all. That. however, is not the import
ant question. The question Of real i'm
portance is, how,,it can be prevented
from occurring again. Ohio ought, by
all means, to have made better show
ing, but the democrats are not done
fighting one another. Ohio democrats
would rather fight one another than
fghttthe enemy. AS long as democrats
feel that way about it we might as we'll
hang up the fiddle and the bow.
In Iowa, the democratic papers that
think they are the great thought mould
ers have been fighting democrats in
stead of republicans. The vote shows
the result. It is mighty poor policy,
this quarreling among ourselves, in the
face of the enemy. That makes the re-.
publicans laugh every time it happens.
A general who quarrels with another in
the face of the enemy is removed, or
: perhaps taken out and shot. Itis not
seemly and>not wise, but idiotic and
childlike to quarrel SO much among our.
selves.
Do business, men and brethren.
Stop laying plans and quit talking gabout
reorganization. The democratic party
is all right. All we need is more voters
to vote the ticket and less to talk. Do,
and stop talking. Il M
No difference how it happened. The
question is, how will We prevent repe-

HE STANDS BY HIS UMPIRES
That Is the Reason Why Tommy Con-

sons Staff

The we'll known umpire, Tom" Con-
molly of Natick, who has secured place
On the American league staff of umpires.
is looking nothing if not fit. II received
offers from several leagues" said Con-
molly, but preferred that from Mr..
Johnson, for the reason that he stands
by his umpires. A man can do infinitely
better work, I tell you, when he knows
that what he says will go.
About the rules? Well really can
not say very much about that. I think
the rules of last season We're all right
providing they We're properly enforced.
If you can't enforce the rules, why you
will have to try something else I sup
pose. I really think there should be
penalty on these wild pitchers who hit
batsmen, and base is not too severe.
yet at the same time I think umpires
can not be too wary about these chaps
who allew themselves to be hit purpose
ly."
When asked if he knew why it was
that Mr.. Lynch did not accept the offer
to umpire in the National league. Con-
molly said: THE only reason l can as
sign is that the offer did not suit him.
Mr.. Lynch has umpired long time in
the league, and his abilities are well
known. He is certainly entitled to a
liberal compensation, and l guess the
offer he received was not to his liking.
Il can not see why the American
