Baseball.

Sundays game between the Ell Reys
of jackson and the Mokelumne Hill
nine partook more of the nature of a
practice game than real contest, as
the score 16 to 13 will show. The best
playing was done by a 15-year-old boy
from the Hill, who made four runs and
took in every fly ball that went in the
direction of left field. DR.. Gall also
made hit. or got hit, as backstop.
The game sufficed to hold the large
aud good natured crowd until the time
for the principal attraction, the balloon
ascension. This was decided success.
The aeronaut went up several hundred
feet and made a parachute descension,
landing about 400 yards from where he
started. The balloon remained up for
some time, and came down south of
Jackson. The affair was success and

Bryan's influence.

VIM. j. Bryan went into the demo-
cratic national convention and with a
firm step and clear conscience handed
back to the democratic party the COM
mission it had placed in his hands eight
years before He gracefully acknow-
lodged his inability to win in the two
previous campaigns, but took particular
pains to remind the convention that he
had received greater number of the
popular votes than any democrat who
ever aspired to the presidency. He
spoke in a manner that carried with it
the impression that no other democrat
could or would receive a greater num-
ber of votes at the coming election. He
was sincere in every word he spoke, in
every gesture he made, in every i'm
preston that he wished to convey. 1t
must have been thrilling moment
when this master democratic mind pre-
dicted by action, if not by word the
fruitlessness of the effort that they
were about to make in the coming
fight. Many who were present on that
occasion will recall, after the first
throes of defeat, the scene as it pre-
sented itself to them on that day, and
hail William Jennings Bryan as the
grandest man of the democratic party.
What other man in the ranks could
have gone before the platform COM
mittee single-handed and have adopted
by large majority plank that was
slated by the knowing ones to be killed?
What other man could have stood be-
fore that committee and fought the
gold plank to standstill? We answer
none. Bryan himself was slated by
many to be literally stripped of his
political influence, but by his superior
ability and persuasive eloquence he
won the respect and admiration of
every person who gained admission to
the great convention hall. He stands
out to-day in striking contrast to those
who sought to do him injury. He is
the greatest democrat of them all, and
the day is not far distant when he will
again be heralded as such.

To tta Editor of The Ionrnal

10 Cce Editor OF The Journal
AS reader of T h e J ur a ! and a
visitor to the state fair, take the liberty
to address you, after returning home, re-
garding, some alleged works of art" in
your, public library building. 49,. =.
/ On entering, noticed at the left Of the
door a piece of statuary marked Victory
adjusting her SANDAL Now. please an
swer the following questions regarding
this, as it puzzles me, and could not get
anybody around the building to give me
the desired information. One of tine EN-
ployees even told me that I better see the
city health officer about it. Now, why
do they call Victory cher instead OF
him. and how on earth can Victory adj
just her sandal, when she has no head.
as you no doubt know this piece of statu-
airy has no head? Why do not the authori-
ties put head on her?
Also, do you people claim that the coll
lection of plaster figures on the fourth
floor are works Of art? If so, must say
that art has got to be learned, and it
must be hard study, too. noticed an
other figure that had no arms, and an
other that had no clothes on. 1t don't
seem right to exhibit undressed figures
before mixed crowds of ladies and gem
tlemen If there is anything unusually
striking or interesting about the physical
development Of these nude figures, they
can be exhibited in the proper way. The
library officers should have ladies' days
and mems days separate, and, when it
is desired to exhibit to mixed audiences,
the figures should be dressed in the most
up-to-date clothing of the day.
My personal opinion about old Roman,
Greek or italian statuary is that the time
has fully arrived to consign it to the
scrapheap. Its much-vaunted beauty Is
only in some abnormally and falsely du-
Gated persons dreams.

OF course the protest is not against

Chronicle, one is as much bride as the
other; the difference is that the pass

ing for taking an independent stand
in state politics, says:

This "rule of the maiority' is a
ticklish subject with republicans since
the state convention, and perhaps the
less said about it by the partizans of
Mr.. Dunn the better. The majority of
the republicans of Hennepin county,
in convention assembled, sent dele
cation of 113 to the state convention
opposed to Mr.. Dunn s nomination.
The Dunn delegates from the remain
ing counties threw these delegates out
of the convention and disfranchised
the majority in Hennepin county. This
outrage will not soon be forgotten by
republicans all over the state who be-
ieve in fair play, and every time the
principle of Majority rule' is agi-
tated it will rise like Banquo's ghost
to confront the men responsible for the
most fragrant violation of that rule
ever committed in Minnesota politics.
