Of honesty and sincerity in politics.
This proposition will appeal to all who
belleve in the rule OF the ?eopIe--to all
who are willing that the majority shall
govern in party management and IN the
nation. II does not mean that those who
exert themselves to secure good platform
will he bound to support bad platform
that is question which each must deter

the democratic platform shall give voice to
the prevailing sentiment of the democratic
party, and that the party shall take the
country into ITS confidence. The pledge
proposition is a primary pledge-because
the people speak at the primaries. The
national convention is attended by dele
gates and each delegate represents tens OF
thousands OF democrats. The state con-
vention is also atten0ed by delegates. and
these represent thousands Of democrats.
The county conventions are. as a rule, at
tended by delegates, and these in turn
represent hundreds Of democrats. At the
primary the voters speak for themselves

SOME BOWLING NOTES.

All nations had chance to get into the bowling warfare on Fishers alleys in Northampton, Thursday night. An English team beat an Irish team in a candle-pin match. A Dutch referee and French scorer were the officials.
 Bowling was the subject of much opposition on the part of the author ities and moral teachers of towns from 1200 to 1500 in England. King Henry III was opposed to 1t, because by it's popularity it interfered with the practice of archery. At his behest rule was passed in parliament mak- ing the game unlawful for soldiers and the clergy. At this time the al. leys are described as scenes of vice and debauchery, and 1t Is stated that those who frequented them did so to their own impoverishment. IL is charged that even murders and feio- nIes were the direct outcome of the gafnes One writer in 1879 says that common bowling alleys are private moths that eat up the credit of many idle citizens. whose gains at home are not sufficient to meet their obligations abroad whose shops are so far from maintaining their play that their wives and children cry out for bread and often go supperless to bed.

St Thomas Cadets and Ori- ents to Play For a Purse Bulletins of All Games Posted at This Cfiice.

The St Thomas Cadets Juniors and the 0rients have finally come to terms and wiil1Play for4dS25 a side and the championship of the city at Riverside park tomorrow afternoon.
 Last evening Managers Campion of the Orients and Cunningham of the Cadets met in the Democrat office and deposited the $50 in the hands of the editor. The winner is to take all.
 The two teams are rather evenly matched and should put up a stirring contest. The 0rients have a heavy team and have many available substi- tutes. The Cadets, although perhaps lighter. have been playing fast ball all season and have not been defeated. The only way you can get a line on the teams is to compare their games with the Starlights of Naugatuck. The Cadets defeated the Rubber City boys by the score of 11-0. The Orients, whose team was not as good then as now, played them a tie game. O-0

the University of Chicago's ground gathers prove able to defeat Yost's for midable warriors the football sensa- ton of recent years will be recorded.
 The championship game occurs Nov. 80, Thanksgiving day, when Michigan meets Stagg's men In Chicago. The outlook fayors Michigan. Michigan's team is heavier, faster, better trained and has better record for the season.
 Coach Stagg after the recent Chica- gouPurdue game was plainly Gisap- pointed by the showing of his men. He said:
 T was disappointed in the weakness shown by our line, in the first part of the game especially. The linemen didn't keep pace with Purdue and some of the plays came before our for wards were set for them. On the whole, our line showed improvement, but it is not good enough for Michigan just yet. If we can keep the ball in our possession Thanksgiving day things are likely to be better for us. Proba- bly, the most pleasing thing in the whole game was the grand fighting spirit of the team. It will be there Thanksgiving too"
 In Bezdek at right half and Ecker- sail at quarter Chicago has two men who are equal to any of Yost's players.
 Michigan's back field Is shade su- perlor to Chlcago's, and her line easily outclasses the stagg forwards; conse- quently Michigan's line bucking plays should prove far more successful thaa Chicago's.
 Michigan's llnemen include J. c. Car rels and J.. N. Stuart, ends, who have thus far done excellent work both In offensive and defensive work. Ora ham, at guard. Is typical of the other

NIKE THE
 TWIN" WON
He Got the Decision Over Jimmy Gardner in San Francisco Last Night Austin Rice Won.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 25-After twenty rounds of exciting fighting Mike (Twin) Sullivan of Cambridge. Mass, last night defeated Jimmy Gard ner of Lowell, Mass, Referee Jack Welch making the decision while Gard ner was carried weak and tottering to his corner. The decision was a popular one not only on it's merits, but because it also brought joy to the short enders, who generally obtained odds of 2 to 1. The fight was full of skillful boxing and foot work, hard punching and well directed efforts
 Gardner made the more fanciful showing. particularly in the earlier half of the match. but Sullivan never for moment lost his coolness and never missed sight of an opportunity to gain point
 In the second ten rounds of the bout the actual fighting was done. Long range blows that shook and jared were delivered by each contestant, and the infghting was at times fierce, Sul- hvan fought consistently. He found that he could reach Gardner's face, and his left glove soon had the Lowell mans face mass of blood from a bruised nose and a gash overitfie ear
 Up to the eighteenth round 1t was generally conceded to be an even fight, but then Sullivan's superior strength and faculty of recuperating quickly turned the tide. The men fought. at about 142 pounds each.
 After the contest Gardner said: T went out of my class to fight Sullivan, who weighed eight pounds more than I did. I would like to fight him again for the same side wager, but he must not weigh in excess of 136 pounds. Referee Welch's decision, however. was just one, as under the conditions mentioned l was clearly beaten"
