WRESTLING.
PURSE IS
 ALL POSTED
One Hundred Dollars Side Eet is Hands of Stake. Y.
 h lder-Pickett Cronan in ink of Condition.

The whole purse of $1OO was put up last evening by the managers of Dave Cronan and Dan Pickett and the match is now assured. Already the stakeholder has in his possession more than $500 in side bets and it is more than likely there is at least $500 more deposited in other places. This match will draw large audience undoubted- ly and the interest among the friends of both lads is at fever heat. Both are in the pink of condition and ready for the contest and never has match been given where each wrestler has been so confident. If you are friend of either man you can find an opening to put few dollars or few hundred, and, as was predicted some weeks ago. this will be difficult match to handle with satisfaction to all interested. Those who like wrestling and who were wont to patronize the game when Prof NJ. J. Dwyer was at the helm ill this city will be better rewarded by attending the match on Thursday night than any that was ever given ill this city. It will be battle from the start to the finish.

For few seconds of, the first round Harris showed up well. He was rather clever and landed two or three times with his left on Connelly's s face. After that the Portland man had his own way. He knocked Harris down four times with successive rights and lefts to the jaw and the gong saved the English boxer from the complete knockout. In the second round Harris went to the floor twice before he was finally put away.

THE OHIO CAMPAIGN

Not I'm many years has there been SO
much ginger in a campaign waged by
democrats. and while there is little
hope for a democratic victory, It is
evident enought that the people of
Ohio are at least beginning TO think
once more.
Political morality has reached a
low ebb In Ohio We used to think, a
generation ago. when It was charged
that two-doilar bills were prodigally
distributed among the voters, that
conditions were bad but a corruption.
list of that time would now be consld-
cred altogether too moral a man to be
in politics
It is a coincidence that the political
degradation OF the state progressed in
the ratio that democratic vitality de-.

so bad that "A reaction has set in Ohio

ic party that will have "a fighting
chance to carry the state
The democrats have made an excel.
lent start by nominating an upright,
able gentleman of good common sense.
indeed, the personnel of the entire
state ticket Is exceptionally good and
strong. There are no odious bosses to
embarass the party, and the platform
appeals with especial emphasis to the
home-loving people of the state. So
far not in a single respect are the
democrats on the defensive. On the
contrary. they are aggressive, II not
confident.
Across the pathway Of Governor
Herrick is the dark shadow of George
B. Cox. the republican boss OF Cincin-
natl. before whom Herrick. Foraker,
Dick and all the shining lights of
Ohio republicanism bow in humility.
Cox is Of and for the slums. He first
came into distinction by engaging in
the prize fight with a negro, and to
such fame as this episode brought him
he has added that of being the propri.
etor OF the nastiest dive in the city Of
Cincinnati.
The people OF Ohio must sooner or
later tire OF Cox, unless they are de-
stined TO part with every particle Of
uprightness and decency, and It is not
surprising that symptoms of revolt
have already appeared in the form OF
spirit of independence among the
republicans of the rural district. Many
of them are openly supporting Patti.

cans will do 80 to make the result OF
the election doubtful.
Another thing worth attention is

evident that he does not come up to

Il would not be the least surprising
If the republican majority were cut
to 10000 or even less This of itself
would indicate lessening of public
confidence in the republican party
II would be more than encouraging
IL other northern states would afford
us the evidences of democratic revi-
talizian that are now apparent in Ohio.
