It would be difficult to find a man who
delights to talk about a horse more than Mr.
George Hiddleton loves to talk about his
famous trotting gelding Jack. The little
breadwinner is an idol to Mr. Hiddleton,
and the latter never wearies of talking abont
his horse. Mr. Middleton was in the city
yesterday and left for Chicago last evening.
Daring a long conversation with the writer,
ilr. 'Hiddleton said:
"Palo Alto beat my horse last week sim
ply because he (Palo Alto) was too speedy.
The stallion is really a better horse than
many people believe, and I won't be sur
prised if he lowers the stallion record this
season. Me is going to try and beat Axtell's
marc, 202, at Belmont Park. Philadelphia. I
I think he can do it if he is fit and well. He is
A BEMABKABLE HOBSE.
"Jack will go against the watch to-morrow at
Independence. It will be his first try against
time, and he will attempt to beat his own
record, 2:15. He will contest in special races
daring the balance of the season.
"I notice that efforts are being made to have
a race between Rosalind Wilkes and Belle
Hamlin. If they trot a match I think Kosaliud
will win, no matter whether it be 2 in 3 or S in
6 heats. I saw Mr. Hamlin tne other day, and
he told me that his mare is not in the best of
condition jnst now, but that she will be all
right in two or three weeks. The season, so
far. has been a remarkable one. I never knew
the trotting business to be so brisk. Last week
at Chicago we had as many paid admissions
for that dav and were as great as the entire re
ceipts lor the six days last year. The meeting
was
A GEEAT SUCCESS,
indeed, and I think the next year's meeting
will continue for two weeks. The pool boxes
also show that there is more interest in trotting
than there was last year. At one meeting
where Jack contested the pools ranged from
1.100 to $2,000. while last year they only reached
300. The quality of horses is also good this
season, ana Goldsmith is certainly in great
luck Out in our section we have an extraor
dinary goer named Keno F. He is our most
promising trotter. I f ullv expect to see the
best records considerably low ered. Horses are
getting better every season and there are more
of them to select from."
PLAYERS' LEAGUE GAMES.
TJje New Tork Again Defeat Our Cbam-
plons John Tener Makes b Very Bis:
Hit Results of Other Games.
rSFJCCIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.!
New Yoke, August 27. O'Day was the only
available pitcher the New York Players'
League club had to-day, and he did fairly well
under the circumstances. He gave six men
bases on balls, yet he kept the batsmen guess
ing until the last inning, when he was hit for a
single, a three-bagger and a two-bagger. The
New Yorks, notwithstanding the absence of
Manager Swing, played a stiff game in the
field, although Brown was a little off in tbrow
inc The Pittsburgs likewise played a clever
fielding game, Beckley. Corcoran and Fields
being particularly prominent. Gore missed a
chance to make first in the fourth Inning after
hitting a fly to Knehne, which he missed, but
got the ball across tho diamond in time to cap
ture Gore, who did not commence to run until
the Dall was muffed. In the seventh inning
Maul made a very poor effort to take Richard
son's hit, the latter making three bases thereby.
The New Yorks started in to hit Tener and
gained a good lead on their opponents. In the
eighth Tener was hit heavily, and with the aid
of two sacrifices four runs were scored, three
being earned. The Pittsburgs scored an un
earned run in the second inning on a wild
throw of Shannon's and a similar throw by
Brown to third. A wild throw by Brown to
second allowed Carroll to score in the sixth in
ning, and then John Tener made one of the
longest hits ever made on the ground in the
seventh for a home run. In the ninth a single
by Tener. a triple ana a two-bagger in succes
sion by Fields and Visner netted two runs.
For. the first time this season the correct at
tendance was announced, which was 573. The

rEFXCIAL TELEORAM TO THE ntSFATCH.1
Boston. August 27. The Pittsburgers'were
badly demoralized by the National League
Bean Eaters to-day, and received at their hands
a douole dose of defeat. There were two water
loos instead of one. In the first inning Osborn
essayed to pitch for the visitors, but after be
bad given ten men their bases on balls and
made six wild pitches, he came to the conclusion
that he conld fill any other position with greater
success. Miller and Lytle made costly errors'
but the game was lost by Osborn's ineffective
ness in the box. Wilson's good work behind
the bat was the only redeeming feature of the
Pittsburgers play.
The second game was much better in every
way and for seven innings it really looked as
though the Pittsburgs would win. Phillips
was in we uox zor tne visitors ana ne neia toe
Bean Eaters down to three questionable hits
for six innings. Defeat was dawning upon the
home team and they looked very serious.
Miller was as chipper as a lark in the spring.
"This is the first game we've been in for soma
time," bat he spoke too quickly. In the
seventh Inning the tide turned in Boston's
favor, and they bombarded out a long series of
bits. -These coupled Kith four battery errors
and three fielding errors yielded four runs for
the home team giving them the. game by a
handsome margin. Miller looked 'very crest
fallen, yet be played a brilliant game and
worked like a beaver to win. The scores.

EUM0ES AGAIN.
Another Story About Plttsburs Going to be
Left by the P. L.
The rumor to the effect that Pittsburg is to
be dropped from the Players' League circuit
once more made its reappearance yesterday.
Of course the local club officials don't believe
it. A gentleman interested in tho business
stated last evening that two prominent officials
of the local P. L. team had a long conference
on the matter yesterday.
The two officials. It is stated, agreed that if
there is any definite attempt to drop the club
from the P. L. hst,a deal will be made with the
local N. L. team which will mean that Exposi
tion Park will be turned over to the local Na
tional League Club. Some people go
as far as stating that Pittsburg, Brook.-,
lyn and Buffalo will be dropped from
the P. L. and their places filled
np by St. Louis, Baltimore and Louisville. If
there is any truth in the latter statement then
the amalgamation "of the Association and P.
L. is sure. It is also definitely stated that the
clubs of the two organizations in question will
play against each other at the end of the
championship season.

Ahe, of the St. Louis Baseball Club, says the
report that the American Association and the

Challenge Coming to Plttsburs;.
tSFKCIAI. TILEOBAM TO TUB DISPATCH.!
New Yoke, August 27. Jack Dempsey re
mained in retirement to-day and conld not be
seen for an interview as to tbe .challenge to
I match him against Jack Burke, the Irish lad,
for So 000 or 10.000 a side and a purse of $2,500
offered by the Ormonde Club, of London. He
is taking things easy near Rockaway and says
he will not be disturbed by anybody nntil he
gets ready to come out from his den. A good
many people were worked up to a high tem
perature to-day after they read of Jack's de
parture to solitude. They got the idea that
Dempsey was on a spree. They were all wrong
in that.
Charley Dexter, Dempsey s manager, said
laSt night that while be conld not speak
authoritatively for tbe light weight champiun,
he bad an idea that Jack would much rather
return to Seattle than go to England. "1 think
Jack has become a trifle homesick already,"
said Mr. Dexter.
Dempsey was not accompanied by his wife
on this trip. Mr. Dexter showed a dispatch
from President Peterson, of the Olympic Club,
of New Orleans, officially offering S5.000 for
Dempsey and Bob Fitzsimmoni, tbo tall New
Zealander. Dempsey leaves New York on
Sunday night for Pittsburg, where he will spar
next week with Jimmy CarrolL of Brooklyn.
The other members of the combination will re
main here for some time, at least until colder

The Ohio Democratic Convention Gets
Through Its Work
WITHODT THE BOSSES' ASSISTANCE
Brica is Present and Receives a Welcome,
but Offers No Advice.
THE TICKET AND THE PLATFOBM
rgPZCTAL TZLZOBAM TO THZ DISPATCH. I
Springfield, 0 August 27. A re
newed interest attended the proceedings of
the second day of the Democratic Conven
tion because of tbe presence of Senator-elect
Brice and a J few other dignitaries of tbe
party, whom it was feared would not find it
convenient to be on band. The convention
was probably more free from bossism and
suggestion than any which has been held in
the history of the party in the State 'for
years. The delegates had control and ap
parently only enough of the experienced
bands were called intojserrice to operate the
machinery of the convention.
The convention was called to order at
10:35. Brief speeches were made by State
Chairman Norton and by Charles W.
Baker, of Cincinnati, temporary presiding
officer of the convention.
NEAL STJRPBISES THEM.
L. T, Heal, who was made permanent
Chairman, delivered a speech which was
probably one of the greatest efforts of his
life. He urged a democracy of principle
and not office-seeking. The speech was
received with astonishment by a good
portion of the delegates, who have been
laboring under the idea that there is nothing
snort of the offices to be looked alter.
The Committee on Resolutions sub
mitted tbe following report, which was
adopied:
Tbe Democracy of Ohio, in convention as
sembled, relying upon the intelligence of the
people and confident of tbe justice of its course,
submits the following declaration of princi
ples: Resolved, First That we demand the reduc
tion of tariff taxes, and we will continue to
battle for tariff reform until tbe cause of tbe
people is triumphant. All money taken bylaw
from the people should go into tbe public
treasury. Tariff taxes should be for revenue
only. All so-called protective tariff taxes are
dishonest, wasteful and corrupting. They
plunder the masses to enrich the few. They,
have crippled agriculture, injured manufactur
ing, created trusts, destroyed commerce and
corrupted our lawmakers. Therefore, we are
opposed to the McKlnley tariff bill now pend
ing in Congress, and believe In the expressed
opinion of a most eminent Republican that,
"There is not a section or lice in it that opens a
market for a bushel of wheat or another barrel
of pork."
AGAINST ALL TBUSTS.
Second That we favor legislation looking to
the suppression of trusts or combinations
which are calculated to enhance prices or pre
vent reduction by healthy competition.
Third That the Democratic party, by Its
record, has proven itself the steadfast friend of
the laboring or producing classes, ana that they
have our earnest sympathy in their struggle
against the encroachments and oppressions of
capitaL We bail with satisfaction the awaken
ing among the farmers to the evils of Repub
lican legislation under which they are suffer
ing, and invite them to join with us to promote
legislation which will better their condition
and be just to all classes.
Fourth That we favor the free coinage of
silver at its present ratio with gold.
Fifth That we acknowledge the great debt
of gratitude the nation owes to the heroes of
the late war; we declare In favor of just, lib
eral and equitable pension laws, and we de
nounce the Republican party for its duplicity
to the soldiers in not fu! ailing its oft-repeated
public pledges made to them.
Sixth That we recognize as a fundamental
principle that a free and untrammeled ballot is
the best security of the citizen, and we f.iror
such legislation as will secure the greatest free
dom, purity and secresy of the ballot.
Seventh That the Democracy of Ohio, on
behalf of the peoplejtana of free institutions,
denounces the Federal election (or force) bill,
now pending in Congress, as the most danger
ous and revolutionary measure ever devised to
thwart tbe will of tbe people and subvert the
form of popular government. It Is a measure
begotten In partisan desperation to perpetuate
the power of tbe Republican party. It is un
American, in that it doubts the capacity of the
people for self-government. QJ
A STBONG ARRAIGNMENT.
It wonld create a horde of Federal office
holders, 300,000 in number, with power to
strangle or pervert an honest expression of
public opinion, at a cost of millions of money
at each election. It would send out minions of
the dominant party with power to invade the
homes of private citizens and subject them to
unenviable inspection and to Intimidation. It
would surround the ballot box with armed hire
lings and give power to bayonets, instead of
ballots. This would disturb the friendly busi
ness and social relations now existing between
all sections, and tend to derange trade and the
reviving industries of tbe country. The Repub
lican party of Ohio, having indorsed and urged
the passage of the force bill, stands forth as
the defender of this attempted outrage upon
American rights.
Thaddeus E. Cromley, of Pickaway coun
ty, was unanimousty nominated lor Secre
tary of State. Hon. George B. Okey, of
Franklin county, was nominated forjudge
of the Supreme Court. For members of the
Board of Public Works four names were
presented: Eeopold Kiefer, of Ttfiama coun
ty; "William Samse, of Henry county; Blair
Haggarty, of Williams county, and John
McNamara, of Summit county". On the first
ballot Kiefer was nominated, receiving 419
votes; Samse, 4; Haggerty, 21; McNamara,
281.
The convention concluded its labors and
adjourned at 1:30 p. M.
AN OVATION TO BRICE.
If any one doubted tbe popularity of
Colonel Brice with his party, such doubts
must have been removed in the light of the
reception which he received when he ap
peared oo the s,tage, and again when he
passed down the aisle to join the Lima dele
gation in tne mam ooay ot the hall. He im
proved the opportunity to meet the countv
Democrats, and from the agreeable manner
in which he mixed with the rank and file it
is believed he lost nothing by putting in an
appearance. Tbe most enthusiastic recep
tion of the day was that accorded Colonel
Brice when he appeared at the front of tbe
stage during a lull in the proceed
ings,' and at the urgent demand of
the delegates. He spoke briefly
saying lie would not stop to discuss the make
up of tbe ticket on the principles contained
in the platform, as he believed them as good
as could be had with which to go belore the
people. He paid a high compliment to John
H. Thomas, whom he defeated Jfor the Sen
ate, and considered it pleasant to be in a
city which contained men with such wide
ana deep Democracy.
While it is not known that there were more
than the ordinary and passive social am en
ties between Colonel Brice and Sir. Thomas,
an excuse is suggested for tbe absence of
anything like a love feast for the reason
tbe time and the occasion would not
admit of any formalities. Mr. Thomas and
his son well played popular and winning
hands all through the convention by tbe
agreeable manner in which they met the
defeat.
A POLITICAL POSSIBILITY.
The activity of the Senior Thomas sug
gested the remark on tbe part of some of
the politicians that he might be drilling to '
get in good form to succeed Hon. John
Sherman, but there was a decided opinion
that should the Legislature be Democratic
when Senator Sherman's time expires, that
Lawrence T. Neal wonld be in the line of
promotion.
Another feature of the day's work, which
loomed up oyer the routine proceedings in a
suggestive manner, was the selection of Dr.
James A. Norton for Chairmen of tbe State
Central Committee. He made a fight for it
and won over E. B. Pinley. A terrible
howl was made over W. S. Cappeller acting
as chairman of the Republican committee,
while he was Railroad Commissioner; but
Dr. Norton goes him one better, and in ad
dition to the Bailroad Commissionership,
still holds on as Auditor ot Seneca county.
John Q. Smith for Congress.
Bpbxngpield, O., August 27. The
Tenth district Democratic Convention here
to-day nominated John Qainoy Smith tor
Congress. -

pany, stating the inability of Mr. Berwlnd to be
present on account of sickness, and also giving
tbe reasons why an advance in tbe price of
mining or dead work, which would increase tbe
cost of their coal, could not be considered at
present, as their contracts were all made for
1890, based upon the present rate of mining. R.
J. Hughes, of Altoona, stated his colliery could
not pay tbe additional demand, and, if the pro
posed scale was adopted, he wonld be compelled
to close dowb the mines until better prices pre
vailed for their product.
The matter of adjusting the scale to meet the
situation in the various mines having thin veins
was discussed by Hon. Judge Dean, Edward
Hnghes, Thomas BIythe and C. A. Hughes.
The- prevailing opinion expressed by all the
operators present was that no change in tbe
scale that would add to the Dresent cost of coal
conld be considered. After a lengthy discus
sion the meeting adjourned to meet in this city
on Wednesday, September 10.

Kohl ds Hiddleton Hope They Slay Still
Have a Theater Here.
Messrs. Kohl & Middleton, tbe Chicago
theatrical men, returned to the Windy City
last evening disappointed men. They are
anxious to have a theater in Pittsburg and
will pay a good price lor it, preferring to
have a building already erected, but they
are willing to build if necessary.
Yesterday afternoon they held a conference
with the owners of the building in which the
Baltimore and Ohio ticket office is located,
but they couldn't come to terms. Mr. Kohl
said last evening they were willing to give
up a third at least of what they might make,
but they didn't care to give it all. People,
he said, imagine there are large profits in
the business, and they desire to make all
they can. He added that they never expect
ed to get into Pittsburg in a cheap way, and
they will pay a good price, but no more. He
hoped that time would' so change things that
they could add Pittsburg to their circuit.
Messrs. Eobl & Middleton have also
been dickering for the Harris Museum.
