Democrats Make Good.

The claim made by the Democratic
candidates in the recent State cam
paign, that the present administra-
ton wouldzgo out of office with over
over million and a quarter dollars in
the State treasury and the State free
from debt, has been more than fulfill
ed. On next Monday, January 9th.
the complete Republican administration
will take charge of the States affairs.
State Treasurer Henry Bosworth on
December 81, totaled up the States
balance on deposit with the various
State repositories, and it is shown on
the close of business on that date,
there was in the State Treasury the
good, round sum of ST, 1872, 90137, which
tops considerably the campaign claim
made by the Democrats that they
would leave million and a quarter in
the treasury.
About month ago the members OF
the State Sinking Fund Commissioners
burned the last of the States outstaDd-
ing bonds, to the amount of about ST.
600. Of course the school bonds re-
mains as liability of the Common
wealth, but it is provided that they
cannot be redeemed, standing for the
benefit of the States schools. An
effort was made to buy up all of the
States bonded indebtedness when
Gov. Beckham brought about the col
lection of the old war claims.

n. Lajoie's Clevelands handed the sox
another wallop behind the ear yester-
day and took second place away from
them. Most unkind, especially as the
Detroits happened to win game, which
means the sox dropped back another
notch behind the leaders. Mr.. Comis-
keys athletes couldn't get any runs
for Ed Walsh, so he was beaten by
Liebhardt, 3 to 0.
1t was tough on Manager Jones to
get his trump card trimmed. He nat
urally figured Walsh was in pretty
soft spot and morally certain to take
Liebhardt's measure, but Liebhardt sur
prised everybody by pitching just three
times as well as Walsh and winning in
a walk. Two doubles over third and an
infeld scratch were all the sox could
manufacture, while tn Clevland finger
was looking The three wallops were
unattached, so of course they didn't get
the home hopes anything.

Any direction you turn your head
nowadays you will see a pennant race
calculated to make your eyes nearly
pop out of your noodle The great
struggles in the National and American
leagues need no comment. Providence,
Baltimore, Buffalo and Newark are fur

while scanning the east don't overlook
the New England league with wor-
cester and Lawrence in the leading
roles, and the Connecticut league with
Springfield and Hartford in a clutch
to the finish.
Turning to the middle west, the
American association is found with In
dianapolis, Louisville, Toledo and Co
lumbus so close together that the A.
A. fans are scarcely able to distinguish
one from another.
And in the land of Cotton. When
it comes to the Southern league your
up against a guessing stunt for fair.
It's a mighty wise fan who can pick
the flag winner from among Nashville,
Memphis, New Orleans and Montgom-
cry.
Retrace your steps and take a peep
at the Central league and Evansville
Dayton and South Bend; the Three-I
league. with Springfield. Decatur, Pc
oria and Dubuque; the Illinois and
Missouri league, with Macomb and
Hannibal fighting it out for first
place; the western league, with Omaha
