A FAMOUS CAMPAIGN.
Only Survivor of Walkers Nicara-

Murfreesboro correspondent of the
Nashville Tennessean, that there is

nine miles north of this city, the only
survivor of that Inflated Nicaragran
expedition undertaken in the year 1857
by General William Walker OF Nash
Vile. Tenn. known as THE GraX-EXed
Man of Destiny" but such is & fact.
This survivor is Robert II. Young, n
quiet, unassuming and substantial far
mer. Mr. Young is also an ex-Confed-
crate veteran. Owing to the excessive
modesty of Mr. Young and his indis-
position to face the limelight, il Was
found very difficult to induce him TO
give to the world even a brief resume of
his experiences. However. he CONSENT

In January or February. 1851, We
made trip to New Orleans, where I
met some boys from Nashville, who
were preparing to start to Nicaragua
with man called Captain Titus, to
join General William Walker Among
the boys was Dick Mccain, afterwards
one of the best known men of Nash
vile, with whom | was well acquaint-
ed Captain Titus gave us a most
glowing account of the country which
we We're to conquer and he assured us
that within a very short time each of
us would be the happy possessor of
$40 acres of the most fertile land on
earth and owners of scores of slaves
and all of the gold that we could ever
Edesire. He read letters to us, purport-
| ing to be from General Walker, which
so infiamed our desire for fame and
wealth that Mccain and | immediate

Walker. After Captain Titus had en-
listed several others from Tennessee

The fans realize the difficulty that
is encountered by the management Of
the team in securing desirable and

on a moments notice to secure one
who has had experience in handling

In game that threatened to rival
the longest day of the year in being
drawn out and rather slow, the locals
defeated Cordele yesteray afterno0a
by score of to 0. The delay oc-
casioned by the late arrival of Coombs.
who pitched the game for Cordele, with
the exception of the first inning, ana
the injuries sustained by two of tho
local players, caused the game to
start slowly and to drag practically
throuhgout the entire nine innings.
Howell began the game for Cordele,
and the Champs made their first score
in the first inning by clean hitting.
Coombs arrived in time to go on the
mound in the second inning, but he
was treated no better than his prede-
&C ssor, so that in the remaining in
nings five runs were made by the To-
calls, while the visitors were unable
to score. Coombs was by no means as
effective as in the previous game he
pitched here, and the Champs pepper.
ed him lively throughout the game.
The fact that the Champs scored six
runs from the total of eight hits which
they made while Cordele failed to

BRYAN BEGINS
Fight AGAINST
JUDGE PARKER
DOESN'T SUIT PROGRESSIVES
Clark Men are Favorable to
Parker

Baltimore, June 21.-That the
democratic national committee will rat
ify the selection of Judge Alton 2.
Parker, of New York, as temporary
chairman of the democratic national
convention was the statement made
today by national committeeman who
led the suggessful fight on the ar
rangement committee yesterday.
William J. Bryan will be here Sun
day to lead the fight against Judge
Parker. In the meantime friends OF
Mr. Bryan say they will canvass the
national committeeman as they ar
rive to ascertain if the choice of the
arrangement committee can be set
aside by the full committee.
Both sides agree that the fight will
be carried to the convention floor and
that it will come within few min
utes after the national chairman has
called the convention to order next
Tuesday
Adherents of Judge Parker here
state that the national committee abs
already been canvassed by them and
that it will oppose Mr. Bryan, as it
did lst winter when an attempt was
made to unseat J. M. Guffey of Penns-
sylvania.
Members of the national commit
tee, following the leadership of Mr..
Bryan, say the issue is simply pro-
gressiveism against conserThtism,
and assert that the first vote of the
convention will show that the pro-
gressives are in control
