Terry an InterIoper
From that time on until the political
campaign of 1859 the two men had little
to do with each other. but when the
famous fight was started Terry Joined
with Gwin and opposed Broderick.
The main contention in this campaign
was between Gwin and Broderick
rf1
not the least thought he and Broderick
would become involved personally. The
inception of the quarrel was a speech
made by Terry at political meeting.
The speech in itself was of the usual
order of the day, in fact very much
more conservative than those being ut
tered by the two leaders themselves. It

took it as a personal afront. few
days afterward, June 26, while at
breakfast at the International hotel in
this city, he commented upon the
speech. In his History of Early Poll

describes the episode:
IN the course of the conversation
Broderick remarked to d. w. PerIey

This speech was carried to Terry b.
Perley, and after a few preliminary
skirmishes it was understood that as
soon as the campaign had ended Terry
would take up the matter. The under
standing proved correct No sooner
was the political campaign finished than
Terry took up the subject directly with
Broderick From this stage on the
correspondence which passed between
the two gives the story and the senti-
ments which actuated them can best be
judged by 1t. Terry in opening the
controversy wrote the following letter:

following, which caused great deal of
surprise.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BOSTON, Mass, April 3O.-Manager Joe
Cantillon and his Washington braves
reached Boston late last night and bucked
right into regular old northeast weather.
When the Nationals woke up this MORN
ing the rain was still coming down and
cold northeast breeze blew over the
city. It was still raining at noon, so that
chances of game this afternoon with the
Red Sox looks very poor.
The Bostons have just got through trim
ming the New York Highlanders for two
games with large scores, and feel conf
dent of taking the Washington boys into
camp
Manager Cantillon said at noon that he
intended working all his southpaws against
Boston. leading off with Burns, and then
fourth game on Tuesday he said Walter
Johnson would be given another trial to
get right but with todays battle side
tracked. the latter will probably hold off
until Wednesday in Philadelphia.
The news that Jerry Freeman was on
the market was received here with con-
siderable surprise. as he had been "boost-
ed as being the best first baseman in the
American League, not excepting Hal
Chase. Jerry will probably slip back into
his old berth with the Minneapolis team.
1t is understood here that Freeman's easy
habits queered him with Cantillon. There
is total lack of fighting spirit in Jerry
during a game, and players of that stripe
find little favor with the Washington
manager. 1t is more than likely that the
big fellow will be dropped while the Ma
tionals are in the west.
There is just one chance that another
player may be left in the west, and that
is Jesse Tannehill. He claims to be in
first-class condition, and win be given
chance in this city to prove 1t. Should
he be given a drubbing by the Red Sox,
IL means an aIl-around handshake for the
clever southpaw.
Should the sun come out late this after
noon or early tomorrow morning. the Ma
tionals and Red Sox will have an i'm
mense audience tomorrow afternoon. The
locals are tied with New York for second
place, and have been playing so well as
to enthuse the Boston fans" Every
body here is counting on a cleanup by
the Bostons, but the mere mention of this
fac- to Manager Cantil1on this morning
almost brought on a fight.
