Kansas ( Milwankee Davenport % 3 Omala 0, St. Paul 1. Say, did you sce the game yesterday after- noon ! No. Well then you missed a very large gob of #ood solid enjoyment. 1t was a dandy—one of the finest contests that ever took place on the local grounds, The matchless Lovett was simply lovely. His long rest has done him a power of good. Just think of it—the Titanic Aposties only made one littie bit of a puny it oft of him, and that was a scratch at that, and but a one of the Lilliputi the Traveler. And ours boys—well they were the Brob- digmug They batted ~with a ferocity, ran bases with a dash_and fielded with an accuracy that obviated a possibility of de- feat. Oh, I tell you the Omahogs are invinciblo on their owi—cellar door. 1t takes a good man to knock a chip off their shoulder and get away without a maul- ing. There were fully two thousand people who flocked to the park to see the battle. The grand stand was filled, the ‘‘bleachers” Ik cked and there was a great circle of ve hicles around the fleld. But let's see how the boys made their sneak on the pennant, The poct, whose face is rosier, u more co- lestial red than it was a month ago, was the first man up. ried awful hard to swipe the gyrating but Sowders wouldn't let him. He preferred to give him a base on balls, This was the signal for an outburst of oweet sounds from Jack Crooks' dainty mouth. But it all amounted to naught, for the * Highlander went out trying to steal second. Annis retired from second to first, and Mr, Crooks on a high fly to Corbett. The Saints. though, didn't get a smell, They were extinguished with exhiliarating rapidity in one, two, three order. In the second, O'Connell, who is lookiug stronger and better than when he left here, slashed three great wide swaths in the air, end went and sat down, But who's this we have here, with such a black moustache and such a pale face, Why, it's the Chippey. as I'm alive, He's Been sick, you know, but he won t sit down— he isn't constructed that way. After delivering two balls something in the corruscating light in the Chippey’s eyes secmed to alarin Sowders, so he made up his mind td kill him on the spot. Then with a superfiious grunt he slammed the ball at hin asif he meant to drive it through a stone wall. It hit Mac square in the back, the concus- sion sounding like the old familiar smack of your mother's slipver. Did McGarr ery or make a face at Sow- derst he did not do either, but ho gave his trousers an ex- .tra hitch, like Dick _ Deadeye, was wont to do, then he ran off and took © first. He didn't stay there long, for on the first bull pitched he ran down to second. Broughton might as well have tried to _caich a meteor. The vark resounded with ringing “hey! he’i'! boys ! * The next instant he made a dash for third, and made it, too, and as he came trotting Nome on a'passed ball, you'd thought you ‘were at a yelling match, 1t was a full minute beforg the people ‘would stop, it was so all-fired exeiting. * Cooney immediately recewved a present of ® base, but Nagle flying out he was left. In the visitors’ half, Earle, who looks like ‘atwin brother of Mephistopheles, got his base on balls, and purioined 'second, but was left. His brother Apostles couldn’t find the sphere. It was one, two, three in both the third and fourth for Omuha, but in the fifth Cooney made a very recherche three baggar into left field and nobody out, and then got left. 1t was auother cipher in the sixth, but not %0 in the seventh—the lucky seventh, Tebeau lined out o handsome one to left, ‘but was forced out by the Chippey’s drive to short. Mac, hewever, reached first before a doubie could be made. Then Mr. Cooney came along aguin and ex- pectorating upon his lily pads, Le for tho second time smashed out a three sacker, this time to right. Of course the Tow came home, and @& great shout showed how delighted everybody was. ‘Then, when Nagle, Lovett and the Poet hit safely in rapid succession, all the slumbering enthusiasm on the ground was awakened, for it all resulted in three more runs. While all this was going on there was such 8 racket you couldn’t hear aman speais up on Farnam street to save your life. Cheers, hurrahs, applause, cat-calls, howls and shrieks filled the air, and all was united in éne mighty “hey? hey! hey ! when the last uan crossed the plate, The inning closed with Annis and Crooks being retired at first, Up to this time St. Paul hadn’t made a hit, or got A man nearer to the plate than second base. But in the eighth Earle got his base on balls and skillfully stolo second and third. Riley and Corbett then went out, but Broughton got in a scratch hut over Cooney's head, and Earle ran howe, That's all they could do. They never got another man on_base. In the ninth Nagle was presented with a base. He was forced ont by Lovett's hit to Sowders, Lovett landing safe, and after- wards scoring by clever sprint work on Burns' third safe hit. And what a cheer there was at that. Lattle Sowders was awful tived right here, and he went to right field, while Morriss ocawe into the box, and Earle assumed first But it was no use. The Saints went out after a peculiar fash- * fon they have with Lovett in the points, one, two, three, and the game was over. It was a nice victory for Omaba and every- ‘body was wild with joy. fore you will find the official score: OMAMA, . 3 | commmmmese? = loGarr, r ney, 8s.

CuicaGo, August 25, —Six thousand people ‘were in attendanco on the closing day of the Northwestern Breeder's Trotting assovia- tion to-day. The track was fast and somo very fast time was made, especially in the pacing races. The betting talent was badly at sea, and the bookmakers and poolsellers reaped a harvest, as not a favorite won. The unfinished four-year-old race, which was left over from the night before, was first called. Lady Bullion won the fifth heat and Broun was drawn, having su\lmcd on a nail, The sixth heat looked like a dead heat, but the judges gave it and the race to Eminence. The first rogular race on to-day's card was the trot for the 2:24 class for $1,000. It brought out Almont, Earl McGregor, Piano Boy and Chance. McGregor was the favor- ite against the field, It took six heats w de- cide tho ovent. Piauo Boy captured the last three heats rather bundily and won. Bost time— 1 The free-for-all pace brought out four good horses. They were Mike Wilkes, Raven Boy, Wilcox and Toledo Girl. Wilkes was the favorite throughout the race, and he failod to take a single heat. Raven Boy won right oft the reel. Best time— 2 The third race was the trot for the 18 ciass for #1,000. Kight horses were pre- nted and Veritas was selected as the win- ner by the plungers. Jim Fuller surprised all by taking three straightheats. Best time 04, After the second race Ubet, with a run- ning mate, made an attempt to beat his own wecord of 2:00%¢. He broke badly during the first heat, and finished in 2:16. The second heat was a phenomenal pace. Ubet broke once and then finishedsin 2:07, The third at- tempt was a repetition of the first heat, and the time was 2:12.

AN EXTRAORDINARY DOCUMENT It §s Dissccted With a Master Hand and Its Fallacies Exposed— Bome Very Pertinent Questions, Blaine's Second Speech, LewistoN, Me,, August 25,—The second public address of Mr. Blaine on the political issues of the campaign was delivered here to-night. Mr, Blaine spoke substantially as follow: I did not happen to have an opportunity of reading the full text of President Cleveland's message on the fisheries until this morning, and with all due respect to the chief execu- tive of the natiom, I must say that, consides ing ail circumstances, it is the most extraor- dinary document that ever was sent from the white house to the capitol. Here are the main facts of the issue be- tween Canada or the United States; or perhaps, to speak more exactly, between Great Britain and the United States in respect to the fisheries: It was our belief, and still is, that after the articles of the treaty at Washington, relating to the fisher- ies, had expireq, the Canadian government behaved in an unneighborly, unseemly and unjust manner to our fishermen in re- fusing them the vights which they had long enjoyed by prescription. In order to bring the government of the dominion to a just appreciation of the subject, congress au- thorizcd the president in the spring of 1857 pt, at his discretion, a policy of suitable liation; cting, among other things, that whenever and 0 long as the American > deprived of commercial priv s in the ports of ( . Canadian v sels should be deprived of like privileges in the ports of the United States, This, if [may indulge in appropriate slang, was @ genuine tit for tat policy, in which the pun- ishment was admirable fitted to the crime. President Cleveland declined to enforce this policy, and allowed outraze after outrage upon our fishing vessels to gzo unredressed. He was bent upon some form of negotiation with England, even against the expressed wish and will of the United States scnate, and in defian of a large share in the treaty-making power which the constitution assigns to the senate, Finally, without consent of the senate, and practically against its protests, tho president organized a nmission to frame a treat that should settle all points of dispute. He thus what was never intended by the constitution—a_partisan sile to an inferna- tional discussion. It was never designed by the founders of our _ government that intercour with fo tions should be conducted by re or by democrats, or b ists. It should only be by the whole. Why should the railways of the United S anuually transport fifty millions of Canadian zoods in trans.t, be d prived of their business and endure a large loss on account of a sudden whim of the president! Why should transit from Detr Buffalo and New York, over both Am and Canadian roads be suspen when it has 1o relation wh 3 hery ques- tion! Why should ti between Quebec and Montreal on the one hand Portland on the other, by whic becomes a winter port of Canad ily stopifed at the capri cause of his chagr) ho cost of pendent, but,as he considors, a ref 3 senate? Is it the design of president to make the fishing tion odious by ci- barrassing - the oommercial relations and commercial exchange along three thousand miles of frontier, and toinflict upon Amer communities a needless, a vexatious and a perilous confusion of trade! If ross will give him the enactments which he asked he will give them retaliation until they cry “Hold, cnough,” and will allow him to scttle the fishery question in the precise manner which thé senate now con- temptuously rejects. Or, after all, fellow citizens, is not the president's position a more political device to divert the attention of the Awcrican people from his free trade message and from’ the Mills tariff bill! Is not bluster on the fisheries to be the plan of the campaign for the dem- ocratic party! Are not permits for bravado to be issued by the political agents of the administration, marked on the back, “Good till after the first Tuesday in November.” We have our partisan dificulties at home and settle them in our own way and on our own soil. But towards all foreign powers on the globe we should present one united, individual, American republic. Bu this was not_dome. The treaty was launched as a democratic partisan measure rather than a patriotic American measure, and the London papers have been follo ving their usual vocation of eulogizing the demo- cracy and. abusing the republicans, with greatly ncre vituperation aguinst the republican par ver since | s found that the senate was bent on maintaiving the na- tional dignity. It 1s plainiy apparent from the text ‘ot the constitution itsclf that the wise men who framed it m- tended that the ordinary legislative power should be committed to the majority, how- ever small, but that no treaty could be framed without the overwhelming support of public opinion. They provided, therefore, that it should require in all cases two-thirds of the senate to ratify a treaty: but, despite this, the national administration went abead, regardless of results, and ne- gotiated a treaty so repugnant to' American instinet of national respect that instead of seeking a ratification by two-thirds of the senate it was absolutely rejected by a ma- jority vote. What then? At the first re- bound the president has leamed so far over on the other side that he asks authority to cripple all our commercial relations with Canada from Passamaquoddy bay to Van- couver's island. Having for three "years of- fered to wawve the rights of fishermen and national dignity at the same time, the president desires now to cross over to the other side of the question and outherod Herod in his demands for redress. He seems eager to-day to discharge the whole Dattery of Kropp guns on the question, when last year & blank cartridge from a pocket pistol would have settled the whole affai After subjecting country mouth after month to the humilia- tion of an unprecedented surrender, the president’s supporters with the zeal of new converta—rather with the extravagant en- thusiasm of pretenders—are now manifest- ing such renewed and deep and keen sense of the wrongs we have experienced from Great Britain in Canada in the matter of the fish- ories that they second the president's extraordinary somersault and in the slang of the democratic heelers they are “thirsting for Cauadian gore.” The democratic papers were but a short time ago telling Massachu- setts and Maine that their contemptible little stion over a fow codfish on the banks of Newfoundland was not worth consideration in the national congress and that if they kept annoying the country about it they would in the end drive congress into giving the full markets of the United States to alithoe fisher- men of the dominwon, My friends, history repoats itself. Let me call your attention to the remarkable paral- lell between the course of President Cleve- land and the course of President Johnson after he returned to the democracy, in a more weighty negotiation with Eugland than that relating o the fisheries. You will read- ily remember that undor instruc. tions from Andrew Johnson our min- ister to England, the late Reverdy Johnson, nefumued @ treaty designed to settle the Alabama claims. Tt was negotiated with Lord Clarendon, foreign secrotary for England, and is known as the Jolnson-Clar- endon lr-&tg‘. It was communicated to the senate just hofore the expiration of John- son's term, and the senate had it under consideration when President Grant was inaugurated. It was rejected with emphasis and indignation Just as the senate has now rejected the fish- eries treaty, A few months later President Graut seut to congress a communication on the whole subject of the Alabama claims. Referring to Johnsomn-Clarendon treaty he usad wei gflmrd:, winch I beg to read to you: ‘“Believing that the treaty thus misconstrued in it and inade- quate in its provisions not have dln‘x hearby, cordial A:nunlwn& o‘n e pen questions, which alone is oon it with the relations which I desire 0 have firn:ly established between the United tion as a States and Grogt Britain, T regard the action of the senate if refecting the treaty to have been wisely ' taken in the interest of peace and as a necessary step in the direction of perfect and cordial friendship between the two countries,’ Sen- sitive people, chnstlous of their power, are more at ease unflap.a great wrong wholly un- deserved, than under the restraint of a settle- ment which satisfies neither their ideas of justice nor the gjave senso of grievance which they have sfistained.” 1u his next communication President Grant recommended to congress to authorize the appointment of'# ehmmission o take proof of the amounts airg ownership of several Ala- bama claims, op 4 notice to the representa- tive of her majMity's government at Wash- ington, and thab,authority be given for a settlement of “these claims by the United States, so that the government could have ownership of the private claim as well as the responsible control of all de- mands against Great Britain, The result, You know, was that the British government proposed & joint commission to settle all claims between the countrie and that President Grant, unlike Presi- dent Clevelaud, sccured the assent of the senate before appointing commissioners, and a joint committee made ettlement which, on the whole, was satisfactory to both parties. This was brought about tojthe honor of both nations in consequence of the | firm position assumed by President Grant, Why could not a Iike attitude day on the part of the sident produce a like result, peacefully, honor- ably, and to the lasting advantage of both nations? Lhe truth is, my friends, the democratic party has never been fortunate in conducting diplomatic negotiations with Great Britain, English partiality for the democratic party is not difMicult to explain. It is not solely bocause the democracy are a froe trade party, and_are now proposing to open our home market for the benefit of the British manu- facturers at the expense of the American workingmen, but it is that in every negotia- tion with the democratic administration England has su rded —m attaining the precise result which she desired. ‘This great historic point is familiar to all who have studied our history for sixty s since the democratic party was first ized. From the administration of Mr onward, there was a dispute b untrics s to the rights of ng on the Pacific ocean, question was adjusted from time to time by our carlier presidents, and last by the tre made by Mr. Clay when he was sec 'y of state under Mr. Adams, providing joint cceupation of the country for an in definite period, neither party losing their rights; but from pure demagog ism the democrats raised the cry in the national clection of 1344 that the whole of what now constitutes British Columbia, up to tue latitude of 542, 40 min- ring unquestionably to tne U retense was put forth to show that they were the northern territory as onacquiring the sowtficrn national conven to 54, 40, Pr They were to secure it, and they sed it 80 far that as soon as Mr. Polk was agurated the demoeratic congress thut notice be given to Lngland for terminating the treaty of joiat occupation, The next thing country heard was that Mr. Polk's administration ‘was compelied to surrender the whole te Britain, confessing that the - tences which thay were unal ntiin or defend.

Senators say that as everything is peaccable on the Canadan border aud 1 Canadian waters there is noth- ing to be gained by putting in the hands of the president further retaliatory powers, Even democratic scnators are beginning to admit, since they have had a chance to con sider the subject in the light of the republi- can speeches delivered in the senate yester- day, that the act of 1887 is ample in its pro- visions to enablo the president to meet any exigeney in the way of intercourse with our Canadian neighbors, that has arisen or may arise.

The debates of the floor of the senate and the political work in the various states arc calling membors of the committee from their work, and during the week there has been but one regulor mecting of the sub-committee proparing the tariff bill and no meetiug has been held by the full com- mittee within a fortnight WEST VIRGINIA FOR THE REPUBLICANS, The nomination of General Goft by the publicans for the governorship of West Vir- iinia has excited ‘much interest in Washing- ton. There is a beliel here, even among the democrats, that General Goft will be elected. He is at present a representative from the First district, which is naturally democratic, and was elected by a majovity of about eight hundred two years ago. He has always been regarded much stronger than his party, and the republicans contend that West Virgini is republican this year on the tarift issue. Senator Kenna has been 1n the state for several days speaking and working for the democratic ticket, while the demo- cratic members of the house from the state have been out of their seats here for some time laboring for the success of their candi- dates. Senator Faulkner intonds spending most of the time from now until election on the stump in his state, and a great effort is to be made to defeat General Gofl.
