poor season by any means, when you
take the entire circuit into consideration.
Every indication points to another red

Pittsburgh and Chicago. These three
old rivals will be in the fed with prac-

1t is reported that the Virginia Poly
technic Institute has had the poorest ma
terial in years from which to develop
foot ball team. The men for the most
part have been inexperienced. and the
squad has been the lightest in long
time.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
Maryland Aggies have not played a
game for more than a week. it is prob
able that the team is in worse shape than
it has been at any time this season:
Bowland has developed severe case OF
water on the knee, while several others
are out with injuries of different kinds.
1t is probable that the team will not be
in as good condition as was hoped when
it was found that 1t would have to face

On Tuesday, Nov. 5, 1889 the

1872 votes. Villas 1G6, Stonington

for choice 260. 1t was claimed
that the canvassing board illeg-
ally assumed the powers of Il
judicial board and threw out e.

from the Minneapolis Chico of
Nov. 10th, 1889.
Quite few of our citizens
went to Villas yesterday to confer
with Boston, Stonington and
the people of that city in regard
to inStituting suits against the
canvassing boards and certain
candidates who bought their way
into office. No greater frauds
were ever perpetrated on free
people than have been by the
canvassing boards of the election
on the 9TH. They have totally
disregarded law and detiantly
gave the returns as Springfield
demanded. 1t is an outrage on
free ballot. We might just as
well not vote as to submit to such
counting in and counting out.
They have counted ballots for
candidates thai were thrown out
by election boards in order to
count in favorites. They have
thrown out one. third of the votes
cast on county seat in order to
| declare Springfield tie county
seat. They have not line OF law
to back them and have not re-
garded the oaths they took.
Criminal prosecutions will no
doubt follow and some of the
wise men who do things after
their own fashion may look out
from behind the bars. The so
called Kansas county seat. fight
ers are not dealing with Kansas
