KAH>S OF RICHMOND
WILL PLAY LEADERS

A fast and interesting game OF
ball will be played this afternoon,
when the kahns OF Richmond cross
bats with the strong Barton Heights
at their park. There seems TO be
lot of rivalry between these two clubs
as they have met twice this year and
each have taken a game. The Bar
ton Heights are now holding first
place In the Old Dominion league,
while the kahns are only a few points
behind. and as tomorrow's game will
decide whether the Kahns are in the
race for the pennant, they will put
up a good game and large crowd
In looked for, as the Barton Heights
have a grandstand that will accom-
modate about 500 people. which will
make il nice and comfortable for the
ladies that win attend.
Harrison or Clements will be on the
mound for the Kahns. while Shelton
will probably do the box work for the
Barton Heights. This game will be
called promptly at 4:3o p. NJ.

Editor Transcript:
In answer to the query of Hon.
Geo. B. Campbell, in your last weeks
issue, am afraid, remembering the
political tricksters both Democratic
and Republican, for the last eight
years, that a declaration of principle
will have but little effect upon the
minds of the people, especially when
they remember of doings of the 18th
general assembly and the disgraceful
senate caucus of the extra session
two years ago. The people remember
how we fell over ourselves to make
promises, and sign up special pledges.
In the state senate we find men that
make a business of serving the
special privilege corporation bunch,
and yet SO skillfully were the votes
arranged that they now challenge
anyone to prove that they ever d.u
vote against platform pledge, ana
are now posing as injured Innocence,
