The defalcation of Mr. Snltiiinrsh, the

Protection conferoncu to he held in that

thing on piier but it won't work In
practice. Tho loaders of Southern thought,
thu men w ho stand for Southern political
opinion, will hsve nothing to do with it,
be they Ilopuhlirsna or Ilemocrats.
Protection is too narrow a platform
to run Congressmen on: the licmocrutic
Protectionists of Iho South nro as far from
tho Republican protectionists of tho South
upon almost every othnr question, whathor
of rituto or 2atiotml scope, as they aru
from the Northern KcpuUicans. Some of
those other Issues aro of mora impottanue

Hut they aro likely to have their trouble
for their pains. Mr. I lurrioon is stubborn
and cannot be driven. Ho seems to bo a
man of his ow n head, and his head is set
iigiiiunt tho negro and in the direction of
Iho old lino Whiirs with a view to break
ing up tho solid South. Mr. Parsons, of
Virginia, and Mr. Sodden, ol Alalwuns,
nro li is main reliance in this section, and
ho is following their lead in tho Iiomi that
he can build up a whito .man's lEcpub
hi sn psrty, to be comoscd mainly ol tho
old lino Whigs, who are opposed to any
contamination by the negro. There ia to
bn no "nigger" in the HarrUon woodpile

Other stories of the great firs of Chicago,
In October, 1m71, have been written, but
none of llicm has equalled "Paniul Trout-
worthy" in interest or power. "Daniel
Tieiitworll y" Is a novel, but something
more. It Is also an socuraln and graphic
hlitory of a phenomenal tragedy. The
author Is worthy the subject He comes to
his work uilmiriibly cqtiipe.d. A writer of

further sdvsutnge of having witnessed the

THE SPORTING WORLD.
THE APPEAL'S SCOOP IN PUBLISHING
THE 8PBINO MEETING PROGRAM.
The Character of the Sport Promised
by the Various Events Speculation
on the Tennessee Stakes Crowds at
the Park Yesterday.
There wero upward of 1,000 visitors at
Montgomery Tark yesterday, between sun
rlso and sunset, principally of the male
persuasion, although the gentler sex was
fuirly well representecL The trainors
seem to realize that the tinio has come to
bustle, and are sending thoir horses longer
diHtuncca4'than heretofore. Among othor
performances noted were the following:
Irish Pat, three-quarters of a milo, 1:22;
Unite and Clara Moore, one mile, 1:49;
Lltbert, one mile, 1:481; Cataline and
John B., one mile, 1:48; Pick Wright,
five-eighths of a milo, 1:04; Jacquclin and
Colrain, ono-half uiilo, :61).
Tho publication in Tint Appeal exclu
sively of the entire program of the spring
meeting, was the sensation of tlio duy la
sportlhg circles. Tho paper was eagerly
read by turfmen and the program fully
criticised. The general Impression was
that a mistake had been mado in giving
steeplechase and hurdle racea when there
are practically no Jumpers on tho track.
Winslow is about the only animal now on
the track that can be classed as an out-and-out
good Jumper, and he is likely to
tiuve the hurdle, sua siecpiucnases at ins
mercy. This defect, however, can be eas

On tho who o. howover. tho program is
a good one ami Insures good snort for the
public which is after all, the prime consid
eration. There will be live racea a day
cxeenl on davs when heat runs are given
and then the card win lie iiumeu to lour
events. Tho distances are graded from
one-half mile to a mile and a quarter, so
that all tastes may lie suited. 'Ihe eight
regular days include two hall-mile races,
seven five-eighths, six throe-quarters, two
scven-ciitiiliis, seven one nine, two one
mile and one-sixteenth, five one mile and
onc-eigtitu, two one nulo and a quarter,
two tluee-uuarter milo heals.throo steeple

calculated to convey much satisfaction lo
the public.
The fact (lint Mr. Kd Corrignn has placed
$100 on Spectator at odds ol 15 to 1 to win
the Tennessee Club Stakes hss caused con
siderable comment and awakened public
Interest in the horse and his past perform-
ances. He is a three-year-old bay colt, by
Springbok-Hattie Harris, and started
twelve times last year; was first three
times, third once and unplaced eight
times. His Unit win was al Louisvillo hist

live-eighths of a mile in l:Ui, with ninety

and three others. His second bracket was
earned at West Side Park, Chicago, Sep
leinlier 14, lHSft, where, with 107 isninda,
he made live-eighth in l:0i! beating a
field ol livo. His latest recorded victory
was at iaitonia, October 1J, where, on
