Outside of the first inning, when he was touched up for four singles and 8 double, Dwyer also did fine work in the points. Hoover made a couple of chump plays for the visitors, and then lost his tem- ser and wanted to fight, but finally cooled lown nnd proceeded with the game.

The Davenport Ball association squarely refuses to ratify the deal which the cowmmittee sup it haa power to make, and which used tho statoment to be sent out that the Inncngolln schedule of games would be n this city. The reason gi wuon taken is that the best players i e Minneapolis nine had been disposed of, nd that the dolay of the dircctory of thé ‘estern association inelecting Davenport a member caused 1t to lose good men who ave been playing in the ])uvu.n‘)ort nine uring the season, In answer to dispatches ed, stating that the Western directory elected Davenport, the reply was sent the action was 150 late—that Davenport ould not play Lmll.

THE OMAHA ..DAILY ‘BEE: THURSDAY, AUGUST 9, 1888, PROGRESS OF THE CAMPAIGY. The Deals in Which the Various Candidates are Engaged. EIGHTH WARD STAR CHAMBER. Connell Will Have Solid Delegations From the First and Second Wards—The Cancuses and Meetings Night. Tales of the Campaign. “Trr Bee yesterday saia that a number of the councilmen were disposed to go to the legislaware to knock out the police and fire commission,” said & gentleman: “But that is not all they want to go there for. They intend also to knock the mayorout. You know that his term of oftice does not expire until about a year from next January, The councilmen whose names you have mentioned want to cut that short by amending the charter so as to restore the old spring clection. They are sore on the mayor, just us sore as they are on the commission, and they think that this is the only way that they can get rid of him. It's a bold game. But these fellows who have stood in the way of the best government of the city, now that they have been beaten, are desperate enough to undertake anything. Even if they should succeed in passing the amendment, the law would be _retroactive. They will find out, however, that they are proposing more than they can accomplish.” C. E. Yost, who is working for the position of state treasurer, suys that he has_about a dozen competitors and that if he gets a fair dolegation from this county, he will have a good chance for nomination. A different opinion was expressed by another party yes- who claimed that Douglas county much in asking the sena- tor, the congressman and the state treasurer. He'thought she might be able to secure the congressman but that the line would pro- bably be drawn there which would leave out “We are not Connell nor Webster men in 1 as yot,” said a Sixth ward citizen. ve a fight of our own on_ our hands. “We are gettingour club into the hands of the people us opposed to & ring which has herctofore run it. In fact we have nevel 1 much of a club, but whenever any con- vention was to be held or anything to be done, ‘Bill' Marrow, Joe Rowles and Page got themselves elected to them and placed themselves on tho central committee. We are not going to stand this much longer, be- cuuse the citizens have taken hold of the matter and will endeavor to make the club u representative Bill Marrow every- body knows us a wire puller, You can see him almost every day inthe street,and 1 have frequently wondered how he managed to vas generally unemployed. But I have since hat he is in the em- ploy of the board of educati 1 that he has been private of that body to do political worik for them. In the first place, [ don’t think any member of the board has a right to rob the people in this manner, and in the next place, I think the unaspiring citizens of the Sixth ward will be able to get along without Mr. Mor- row’s questionable leadership.” LAST NIGHT 8 CAUCUSES. The First Ward Instructs Its Deles zates For Connell. The First Ward republican club met last night at National hall, corner of Thirteenth and Williams streets, and after listening to a committee report resolved itself into a cau- cus for the nomination of county convention delegates to be submitted to Friday’s prima- ries, John Rush was chosen chairman and Y. Judge Hascall announced himself as for Mr. Connell for congress because outside counties are fayorable to him and if nomin- ated he can b i, but he expected to abide by the action of the caucus. He urged that the caucus express its preference for the congressionai candidute before choosing dele- gates, and if a large majority favored any par- ticular candidate he should havea solid delega tion, Mr. Connell has solid_delegations in the Sccond and the Seventh wards. The Clarkes, father and son, have worked up a sentiment against him in the Fifth ward, and 1t is their policy to divide the other wards. Judge Pat Hawes asked at some length what John L. Webster had done for other republicans. He said the candidacy of Web- stor wus @ scheme of Mayor W. J. Broatch. Why, he asked, does Mr. Broatch tako men into his office and read them newspaper ex- tracts saying he oan be elected if nominated? Webster and George Smith are creatures of the mayor, and are being used to pull that entleman’s chestnuts out of the fire, Mr, Tawes offered the following: Resolved, That we, the republicans of the First fward, belioving in_the ability and qualification’of the Hon. W. J. Connell to represent the First district of Nebraska in ress, heartily endorse h sition, and our doleg: vention are herel, best efforts to select delegates to the ¢ gressional convention that will support him from first to lust. Judge Lytle favored giving Mr. Webster a fair reprosentation among the ward delegates 1o avoid a contest. The resolution was adonted almost unani- mously, Mr. Connell was called on for a specell, and thanked the caucus for the kind words Said for him, Messrs. Frank Bandhaver, J. W. Lytle, W. A. Kelley, John Mathicson, Ernst Stuht, John Rosicky, George Hoffman and Williaui Umpherson were chosen a committee to se- lect the eight delcgates and their alternates.

Van Dorn, S.J. Broaer- ick, P. B. Hoorde, A motion directin he ward delegation to select state and conyressional delegates out- side its own mombers was tabled. M.

Miscellaneous. The McShane Invincibles of the Second ward have decided to organize a marching club, and have employed a tactician who will commence instructions on next Monday night. At that time a committee on uniform ‘will make its report. At the meeting of the Bighth ward demo- crats Tuesday night, at Twenty-fourth and Saunders streets,several names were added to the roll.

An Ex-Wholesale Grocer Felled Twice on a Bank Floor. Yesterday afternoon, i one of the leading national banks of this city, there wasa meeting of two gentlemen well known in bus- iness and professional circles in this city One is an ex-wholesale grocer and tobacco dealer; the othier is a young attorney who has held a couple of pfMicial positions, who is also a mewmber of ang of our leading social clubs and who is now contenting himself with the private practice of his profession. The gentlemen had. evidently met before. Ouly a few words had passed between them after their meeting was noticed by the at- taches ot the bank, when the lawyer reached out with his right in the direction of the ex- grocer and tobacco dealer. The clinched fin- gers of the end of the right caught the grocer on the mouth, and the grocer fell. A tiny thread of clavet coursed down his chin and this was followed by a flow which looked as though it had sprung from the cavity of a suddenly extracted molar. The grocer struggled to his feet, as well as he could do under the circumstances on the tesselated pavement, but he had scarcely re- gained his perpendicular when he was again felled to the tloor with a blow of cyclopeau force. By this time, the bank officers and clerks interfered, and the crestfallen groeer ‘was conducted rupully away. SEEKI fi JUSTICE. New Law Suits in the District Court Yesterday.

When she went there 200 girls were cmployed workimg on foot machines. About a year ago steam was put in and forty or fifty Russians and Poles were employed, taking the places of a majority of the girls. Previous to the employment of the foreigners the girls made from 36 to 5 a week; now they only make &5 a week, She heard the proprietor ask one of the foreigners employed there if he could not get him more of his countrymen. He told him that he could, but would have tosend to Europe for them. He told him to send and get all he could. There had been a continual reduction in wages_since the forcigners camo to tho y. She left there this week on account of a reduction i the scale of wages, She smid that many of these Russians and Poles work here and save their monay and then eo home, and spend it and return o more.

The ¥, M. O. A. Structure Found to Have a Weak Pier. The members of the Y. M. C. A. have been astonished and alarmed latoly to find that one of the piers at the northeast corner of their handsome new building on the corner of Sixteenth and Douglas was not strong enough to support the structure above it aud was giving way. They called the attention of the contractors to it, and the superintend- ent of buildings learned of it soon after. This official and his inspectors have been in council over the matter in regard to condemn- ing the building. The contractors claim that the. pier is pler strong cnough and that the crack in it is due to the fact that the pier has not been built “in plumb” by the brick layers who constructed it. The weight coming upon the part out of plumb has caused itto erack. They claim that the defect is easily remedied by fastening iron rods about the pier, and are now busily en- um{ul in thus patching up the work. The C. A, mn]vlr‘ insist that the pier must be mmh- perfectly safe and sound and as the contractors have on their bond a number of wealthy citizens, the members of the asso ciation feel safe.
