The grounds were in excellent condition, the day was & perfect one, the clubs in fine shape, and the crowd expectant, good naturea and of goodly numbers, The Council Bluffs nine won by a score of 4 to 2. There was fine playing on both sides, and the game was an ex- citing contest, which kept the interest of the crowd at high pitch, while the numerous creditable plays called forth woll merited applause, In the second inning o dispute arose as to the deci- sion of the umpire, U, Griswold, of Omaha, aud that gentleman gave place to Charles Stewart, of this city.

An Attempted Explanation of) Anderzon’s Postoffice Bond. He Admits Giving it But Denies That it was for Poli- tical Purposes, Clark and MoKitrick Pat Them- solven in a Hole to Help the Mojor Ont Trr Bee has given publicity to the open charge made against Major An- derson that he has sought to stride on to power by promising a certain post- office tu a certain person, and that he has given a bond of $1,000 to fulfil the promise. The charge was made in open convention by one of the delegates, who offered to produce the bond and the proof then and there if anyone denied the charge. Silence reigned. It was understood that when Major Anderson made his speech of accoptance he would deny the charge, but he did not. The weeks have rolled by, and not even a whispering of an explanation, though the bond was published in papers ali over the land, At last a paper in the eastern end of the state sent out an explanation to the effect that it was Mero Webster that gave the bund, and Major Anderson only went so- curity for him. The Nonpariel, as his organ, fathered this and gave it to its readers, who on looking again at the bond and noticing that it begun, “I, A. R. Anderson, us principal,” laughed at the thinness of this explanation, and it dropped Now another, a longer, amore tangled and complicated explauation comes from The Sidney Union, and is given a place in Anderson’s organ and en- dorsed as the right explanation, TwHa BEx belioves in_giving the public the full benefit of all the light that can be thrown on the matter, for itis the people who are to judge and to declare their yerdictin a very practical and important manner at the polls. The following is » synopsis of explanation No. 2: “A prominent business man” of Randolph told Major Anderson that the removal of D, McKitrick as post- master was to be asked on the ground that intoxicating liquors were being sold contrary te law, and in violation of the postoffice regulations, and re- quested Anderson to write Congress- man Hepburn that in case of a change the appointment of W, F. Dorrence, (Anderson’s brother-in-law,) would be satisfactory. The explanation does not state who ‘‘who the prominent business man” was, or whom the ap- pointment would satisfy, but Ander- son wrote as requested, aud Dorrence was appointed. Dr. McKitrick, the old postmaster, and M. W. Clark, his friend, then told Anderson that no charges were to be preferred, and that Dorrence's appointment was unsatis- factory to the people. Anderson find- jor Anderson’s whole conduct in con- nection with this Randolph trouble has been entirely honorable, open and frank. M. W. CrARk, Witnesses, 8. C. McKrtrick, A. D. Kixo, Mero WenrstER. This places Clark and McKitrick in a rather awkward position. They ad- mit that during the campaign they used this bond agaiost Anderson, and that they then claimed 1t was given for corrupt purposes. Now they say it was given for no such purpose. When men make two such contradic tory statements concerning the same thing, it is evident that one or the other must be false, and false in one, false in all. Under these ecircum- stances their card amounts to nothing, and it is impossible to determine which is true--their statements when they used the bond against Anderson, or their present statements when they have tried to get on the other side of the fence, The explanation settles only one point_conclusively. It does ~away with all doubt about the bond being genuine, or cosrectly published, Now that it is admitted that the bond was given, the public has only to de- cide after readingit carefully, whether a man would naturally give such a bond for any other than corupt pur- purposes, If it was only a piece of toolishness, a lack of judgment, is a mind soweak not liable to muke still graver mistakes in handling national matters? If it was given cor- ruptly, will not the eame dishonesty show itaelf in larger and more impor- tant matters if entrustod to him? The explanation 1s given for what it is worth, though tardy in being presented by Mr. Anderson. PERSONAL John Doty, of this city, has been paying a visit to his brother-in-law, J, C.

Havens, who waa lately the lead- ing editorial writer on The Nonpariel is now one of the editors of The Corning (ia- ette, whose columns bear evidence of the ability with which he wields the pen. Herbert F. Field, who travels for Phil: lips, was home yesterday, and in company with a Mr, Field who travels from Cedar Rapids, held a conference with Chief Field as to the genealogy of the tribe, but no ties of consanguinity could be discover- ed in the trio, On Tuesday we had a pleasant call from 8. D, Street, county clerk. Mr. Street has proven a good and efficient officer, hav- ing placed that office in better shape than it eyer was before, He hasinstituted ing such to be the case requested Dor- rence not to accept, and Dorrence agreed to decline the appointment. Anderson then told McKitrick and Clark that everything was arranged satisfactory. Mr, Dorrence was, however, pre- vailed upon by others to aceept the office and remove it, and did so during Major Anderson's absence, On his return he was assailed by McKitrick and Clark with charges of having acted in bad faith, and that he knew about what was going on. Ander- son denied the charges, %ut Clark and McKitrick declared that nothing short of a bond would satisfy them that An- derson had not been willfully deceiv- ing and cheating them, The follow- ing bond was then given them: STAT Towa, Fuemonr County, . A. R. Auderson, ns principal, and Mero Webster, as surety, hereby acknowl- cdge ourselves justly indebted to M. W, Olark in the sum of $1,000, to be well and truly paid in lawful money of the United States, Nevertheless, to be yoid on the condition that 8, C, McKitrick shall be duly appointed and commissioned post- master at Randolph, Fremont county, Towa, within a period of sixty days from thia date. Witness our hands this 81st day of Moy, 1882, A. R. ANDERSON, Mero WEBSEER, The explanation further states that there was no agreement entered into that placed Olark and McKitrinck un- der any kind of obligations to sup- port Anderson, McKitrick and Clark in fact kept up hostilities against Anderson, and used this very bond against Anderson, The ex- planation also includes the following card purporting to be signed by Clark and McKitrick: Inasmuch as it has been songht to injure and prejudice the interest of Major A R Anderson in his candi- dacy for the republican congressionnl nomination in this, the Ninth distriof, 88, the postc flice bond 1 nncetion with the Randelph poet: flise, and inas wuch us our Lumes Fave been re fertod to in eonnesiion therowith, wo hevoby frecly snd choerfully state that some important improvements, ard the voters of this county eannot do better than return him this fall, Charles H.

Lindsey & Co., Council Bluffs, Ja.: Dear Sirs :—Replying to your esteemed favor of the bthinst., will say that it isafict that the advauce in the price of Celf Skivs, Sole Leather, and most every kind of Shoe Stock, takeu in connection with the adva'cs for labor wa have been obliced to concede to workmen, has increased in no small degree the cost of manufacturing. Notwith- standing which fact we are pleased to say your order, given us ear'y in the season, will be filled at the old prioes; and we hope, by being diligent!y alive to the requiremets of the demaud for a really first-class article, to supply you with a BELTER line of goods than we have ever given you heretofore. Our purchase of both French and domestic Calf Skins, as well as a large supply of O-k-tanned Sole Leather, were made very early in the season which, being beueht at former prices, relieves us in a great dezree of the increased cost of production that many manufactureis are obliged to sustain in filling their orders taken early. Your whele crder for the coming fall season is well in hand, and w1l be shipped at an early date. We desire to call the attention cf those who use our goo s, through the mediom of your house, to our new styles in both Hand and Machine Sewed work. Our French, Medium French and Lordon Toe goo 's are all made on entirely new lasts and new patterns, which we feel sure will meet with a just appreciation and the approbation of your customers, with the improvement we have made we expect to furnish a more nearly pe fect fitting shoe than ever before, We as- sure you, gentlemen, that we will endeavor to giveall your order our prompt and careful attention, and with these assurances we trust to merit the continuance of the many awaiting your further commands, we are »y 7 5 { favors you have been pleased to bestow upon us, and, \ \ J Respectfully yours, STACY, ADAMS & CO.
