Former Declarations as to its Existence Re asserted—The National Committee's Preliminary Work.—Politi Goesip Galore. Chicago, June 14 —The very tiret com bination between the friend« of any two candidate«, and therefore the first real pol itic* of the Republican National Conten tion, was brought to a culmination to-day. Its importance will not l>e lessened by the fact that the news of the move will come as a total surprise to the great mat« of people who have been listening to the bewilder ing, idle babble that for nearly a week now ha« been making the hotel corridors here fairly refund. The apparent strained relation« between the followers of Hairiaon and Gresham were mentioned and both side« recognized the folly of the friends of the Indiana men coming to Chicago and fighting each other. The feeling of thoee in the conference was that the part of good sense lay in the di rection of some sort of anion, not in antag onism. ICSI WAIT TILL THE BALL OPEXS. Tb« ape hot wan an understanding sub stantially that the friends of Harrùon and Gresham should not attack or attempt to undermine eaeh other; that both sides should do the beat they could for their man, bnt all in the friendliest spirit, and that the Indiana delegates should vote solidly from the start to the finish. When the time came—a time ex pected by all Gresham men, bat not acknowledged as probable by Gen. Harri son's phalanx—the time when it should become evident in the convention that Harr.son could not be the nominee, then Gresham should be accorded the support ot his native State. LEFT TO THEIR HOXOK. It wan not stipulated that a meeting of the Indiana delegation should be held to determine whether the time bad arrived, it being the purpose to make the matter so fair that no question of the kind could arise. The moment when the delegates should in such a contingency, if the con tingency arose, begiu voting for Gresham was left to the honor of the delegates themselves. A livelier scene than that presented in th» Gresham headquarters this afternoon and evening could scarcely be imagiued. The rooms were crowded constantly. The tall wiry figure of O. W. Fairbanks seem ed every where, now pleasantly greeting some old Indianian or cordially grasping the hand of a distinguished Chicago.m and others no lew distinguished from ontdde states, who came in to cheer on the Gree ham boom. Colonel Robert G. Ingereoll's name came up naturally in the references to Blaine, aud the role that "pope bob" will play in the convention was fully ex plained Colonel Ingersoll is to make a speech for Greeharo, but not in the convention. Be fore the time for the nominating addresses arrives there will undoubtedly be one or two more big open mas* meetings. It is at one of these huge gatherings that Col onel Injjersol is to make, the presump tion is, "the greatest effort of bis life." The questioti of who shall follow Leon ard Swett in the coovention and second the nomination of Gresham has been settled. The honor will go to John R. Lynch (colored), the Mississippi member of the Republican National Commit tee. He it was who created a favor able impression as the temporary chair man of the National Convention fonryeais ago. The understanding is that a farther sectnding speech will be made by an Ext ern delegate whose name is withheld, a New Englinder known throughout the n* tiou. What was regarded as little short ot the explosion of A BOMB IK THK ORKSHAM CAMP whs a declaration for Blaine coming from W. E Kent, of Chicago, one of the two drat delegate* in Illinois that were in structed lor Gresham. Kent reprewuts the Second Illinois district. The Finerty Lawler territory, where two-thirds of the votera are Irish or Irish-Americans. "I am only speaking for myself," he was quoted, "hat yon will find that I hare lots of company, and the Forth fourth Illinois delegates, if they are needed. I have made np my mind to dis regard the instructions and vote for Blaine. Why? Because there is goiu« to he a deadlock withont doubt, und then a break for Blame, and the Republicans in my dis trict are solid lor bim anyway. " To-nighi the Gresham managers stated that they bad assurances Kent wonld vote for Gresbam all right, and that his expres sion was simply in conversation with a Blaine friend during tbe'exnberance of the moment and to show a friendly feeling for the old chief. Gov. Foster, of Ohio, was one of to day's arrivals. "Sherman will be nominated and elected." said be. The Ohio delega tion is solid for him now and ail the time. THE ARRANGEMENTS. The National Committee Fixing Up the Detail*. Chicago, June 14.—The inauguration of the formalities preceding the call to order I of the Republican Convention took place I just before noon to-day, when the members of tbe National Committee assembled in tbeir headquarters to settle all prelimi naries. Hon. B. F. Jones, Chairman of tbe Committee, presided, with General W. L. Alexander, of Iowa, acting as Sergeant-at Arms; Samuel Fessenden, of Connecticut, Secretary, assisted by Carson Lake, of New York. Twenty-eight States were represented by members or by proxy. Seated about the table were tbe following gentlemen: Gen. Po well Clayton, of Arkansas; F. F. Put ney, of Georgia; David T. Littler, of Illi nois; Jobn C. New, ot Indiana; J. S. Clark son, of Iowa; Cyras Leland. of Kansas; Walter Krana, of Kentucky; J. M. Hay ne?, ot Maine; James A. Gary, of Maryland; R. G. Rorr, of Michigan; John P. S in born, of Michigan; Robert G. Evans, of Minnesota; John R. Lynch, of Mississippi; Robert T. Horn, of Micsonri; Garrett A. Hobsrt, of New Jeraey; A. L. Conger, of Ohio; Horace A. Jenks, of Rhode Island; W. P. Brown low, of Tennessee; N. W. Coney, of Texas; George W. Hooker, of Vermont; Henry C. Bay ne, of Wisconsin; Clark Choi chill, of Arizona; Robert E. Fisk, of Montana; John R» McBride, of Utah; Thos. S. Miner, of Washington Territory; I Jos. M. Gary, of Wyoming Tbs proceedings were opened by Mr. Clarkson, on behalf of the sob-committee of arrangement*, making a report concern ing the plan of seating that had been adopted. Sanborn, of Michigan; Hooker, of Vermont; Lynch, of Mississippi; Payne, of Wisconsin; Lytle, of Illinois; New, of Indiana, and Conger, of Ohio, took part in the dlscnwion that the report gave rite to. The allotment of two hun dred more tickets to Chicago than the original seven hundred proposed mis the nnb of the debate. As a result, the num ber of tickets for local distribution was de creased, being restricted from a total of 900 to 860, including those to be given the Mayor for distinguished guests. It was nearlj an hour before the matter of tickets was finally settled. The matter of preparing a roll of the convention was, on motion of Mr. Conger, referred to a sub-committee of five to re port to-morrow. Mtssra. Conger, Fessen den, Leland, Hobart and Brownlow were appointed as a committee to prepare the roll. Littler, of Illinois, suggested that at the times when the convention was not in session the hall he opened to crowds ol visitors who would be unable to get in when the convention was in session. The suggestion was favorably received, hut on second thought the committee agreed that the plan would involve numerous difficul ties and that it wonld be necessary to first obtain the consent of the Auditorium Company. The idea was then dropoed. Mr. Clarkson called attention to the matter of selecting a chaplain. .Several members of the committee at once inter jected that a different chaplain every morning was desirable. One committee man mischievously moved that no chap lain he selected by the name of Bnrcbard. Another gentleman moved that the chap lain's prayer every morning be submitted in manuscript before delivery to the chair mau of the convention. Chairman Jones thought the officers of the convention would have enough to do to attend to their own prayers. The mat ter of prayer and chaplains was then promptly relegated to the sub-committee of arrangements. Without taking up the contests, of which there are several, including the important one from Virginia between the Mabone and Riddleberger delegations, or the ap pointment of temporary officers for the convention, about which so much interest centers, the committee at 1 p. m. adjourn ed nntil 8 o'clock to-morrow night. Bltt «UNS In the K«publlr»ii Party Interviewed. Buttervvorth'# Notable Word*. PirrsBrROH, Pa., June 14.—There was a notable gathering of K?publicans at the Union Station this morcing en ronte to Chicago. Among the number were Sena tor Spoouer, of Wisconsin; .Senator Stock bridge, of Michigan, and Congressmen McKinley and Bntterwortb, of Ohio!. While taking breakfast, the gentlemen were all disposed to talk quite freely. S< nator Spooner said : *' The indications point to the selection of one candidate from New Y ark and the other from Indi ana. It is necessary that one of the candi dates belong to Indiana, and it is unfortu nate that two residents from that State should be in the field. Senator Stockbridge said the M ichigan delegation was not only going to present Gen. Alger's name, bnt would nominate him. The delegation was solid. Hon. Btnj. Bntterworth said the conven tion would be the greatest ever held by either of the parties^ "Upon it," said he, "depends the future, more than ever, of the Republican party. It means that the tntnre will either be one of grand success or the going to pieces of the party. If a destructive element tries to nominate a man whom wiser heads know might be de feated, then we might as well divide the assets and bnild np the party anew. But I do not expect such a re sult. I believe a wise course will be pnrsned and a strong man nominated. The talk of more Blaine letters is non sense, Blaine's honor lies between himself and acceptance of the nomination after the two letters he has written. I would regard it as an indiscretion in his friends to crowd bis name into the Convention after the?e two letter?." Msjor McKinley said Sherman was snre of .'500 votes on the first ballot, and he had every reason to believe he wonld be nomi nated. "Blaine," he said, "was out ol the race. The platform would be square ly for protection." * BLAINE'S THIRD LETTER. Probability of It* Existence In Splto ol Chairman Jone«' Denial. Pitts hi'bo, June 14.—The Leader thii afternoon nays regarding Mr. Blaine'i allrged third letter: In speaking of thin a prominent Repub lican «aid to-day: "Mr. Jones denied thai the Florence letter bad been received, too up nntil the time of its publication. Mr Jones affirmed that Blaine had been elect ed President fonr years ago when all thi country knew differently. Why thei should Mr. Jones not deny the existent of a third letter from Mr. Blaine? Anc more especially when that letter declare) Mr. Blaine entirely ont of a race it which Mr. Jones is exceedingly anxioui to have him win? I tell you tb< Blaine people know that there is a letter in existence from the Plumed Kniuht whict will absolutely prevent his nomination under any consideration if read before th< Chicago convention, and they are there/on using every effort to hare it suppressed They want Blaine nominated and are turn ing Heaven and earth to accomplish theii object They recognix* the fact that th< only way to secure hi« nomination it through the medium of a deadlock, and with a positive declination to accept even if nomioated, .from him, together with 1 preference for the place, it wonld be im passible to bring about a deadlock. Sher man would be nominated with a hurrah !" Another gentleman who claimed to know a great deal abont the third letter whict be could not divulg«, advised the writer U call upon John II. Hampton, Esq., a clos< friend of Blaine's, whom he intimated could tell much of interest Mr. Hampton was not at his office and his clerk stated that be was ont of the city. M. H. Houseman, E«q., a friend ol Chairman B. F. Jones, and also of Mr Blaine, was next called upon. He denied any knowledge that a third letter bad beer written, and said that if it bad it had nol been received by Chairman Jones prior U his departure from Pittsburg. "In a con versation with him the afternoon he left," said Mr. Houseman, "Mr. Jones was asked about this very thing, and replied that b< had not beard from Mr. Blaine on politia since tbe famous Florence letter." "Then tbe supposition was that anothei letter would be forthcoming?" "Some people thought so; but for mj parti could see no reason why Mr. Blain« should further commit himself. He hat already said enongb." At this juncture a Chronicle Telegraph re porter entered with tbe information thai that paper bad tbe story of a fourth lettei from Mr. Blaine, this one favorable to Al ger. "There it is," said Mr. Houseman "These letters are all originating from Üm supporters of other candidates, who bop to secure tbe aid of Mr. Blaine's friends Even though be did write a letter I do noi think it would be characteristic of tbe mai to name his choice. He is friendly to all the candid^es. " Just after the Leader bad goo« to pre« yesterday afternoon the writer met Mr H. H. Byram, editor of the Chnmiile Telegraph. Inquiring abont the Blain letter Mr. Bjnun doubted that it bad beei received here. He said, however, that 1 letter was expected from Mr. Blaine, bu not one indicating hie preference for Presi dent. , "But Senator Quay in • measure corrob orâtes the s torj," Ruggmted the writer. I "Oh, yes; I know that," was Mr. | Bjrram's response. ' Senator Quay said that he heard such a story in Washington and that be was going on to Chicago to investigate it" A delegate to the Repub lican National Convention from Al legheny county to day stated tbnt the gen eral supposition even among the unitiated is that such a letter as indicated ba* been written by Mr. Blaine, and will be read to the Chicago convention. "For my part," continued the gentleman, "I haven't tbe slightest doobt of the authenticity of tbe leader story and shall live to see it cor roborated next week." Senator M. 8 Quay, who ia suppostd to know just a little about the Blaine-Sher man alliance, if alliaoc*» there is. left Beaver this morning for Chicago. Before his departure he remarked that while ho did not koow anything of the letter in question ho would reiterate moet emphat ically that Blaine was not a candidate, "because he has forbidden hi* nomina tion," as the Senator put it, aud he just as | confidently predicted Sherman's nomina-1 lion. I The Hhermnn Contingent. Special Tuegram to litt kewtrr, Pabkkrsbi'rg, W. Va , June 14.—A large delegation from this nection will go j to Chicago. The exceptionably low rates offered by tbe Ohio River and Baltimore and Ohio road* hare captured the Republi can«, and probably one hundred and fifty will go from this vicinity. The up train on tbe Ohio River road Saturday afternoon will have attached a special sleeping car with a select party hound for Cnicago. The delegation from Wheeling will be joined by tbe party from here, and the different coaches will form one train. To night A. B. White leaves for Chicago. He is the first delegate to leave tbe State. White is pronounced for Sherman, and believes he will be nominated. Mast of the party going from here are Sherman men. Pacific Slop« for Blaine. Penvkk, Col., Jnne 14.—Charles F. Crocker, of the California delegation which passed through to-day, said: "While we are all for Blaine, we do not desire to have the people understand that we will cast onr vo'efl solid for him on the first ballot. If Blaine will not accept we will consult onr friends in Indiana. New York and other States, and will then support the candidate who will have the greatest mtlu ence in carryiog the donbtfal States. We have not yet thought of a Vice President and will give no attention to this until we have deter mined upon a man to fill first place. We have only one thing to ask of the conven lion. We will present the name of M. M. Kites, of Napa, for temporary chairman, and would like to see him unanimously elected." Mr. Barin, chairman of the Oregon del egation, had nothing to say except that they were all for Blaine. The party express themselves as having bad a most delightful trip, and expect to reach Chicago some time Saturday. Philadelphia for Grosham. Chicago, Jnne 14.—iMr. Bennerd, of the Philadelphia Xew*, in speaking of Jndge Gresham'scandidacy, said to-day: "Weeks ago Jadge Gresham's candidacy was in dorsed by the workingmen's clubs of Phil adelphia. All the leading business are for Gresham first, last and ail the time, and whi[e they are not the men who carry a great maay votes to the polls they have a great iufinenco in money and a great di rect personal infiaence. I have the best authority for saying that if Gresham is nominated Philadelphia will contribute $250,000 to his campaign fond. Philadel phia sends eleven delegates to the conven tion, and of the«« seven are to my personal knowledge for Judge Oresham." A DOUBLE WEDDING. Two Children of President Garfield Mar ried Yesterday. Mkntor, Om Jane 14.—A large nnmber of guests, including many well known people from the citien of Cleveland, Chi cago, Cincinnati, Buffalo, N. Y., Boston and Washington, assembled this afternoon at the pleasant country home of Mrs. J. A.

T'i«y maintained that while the bill was o*> ectioDable on account of its redactions in ?he tariff on metal, there were nevertheless some very com mendable things in it. Tb« resolutions were discussed quite vigorously for a time, and it was found necessary to make some concessions to the minority. The resolu tions were accordingly modified, and through the modiffct«lions seven of the 30 were won over. On final ballot Undele gates voted for the adoption of the resolu tions, and 23 against While the resolu tions are being pub! <shed as the sentiment of the representativi body of the Amalga mated Association, > tie important fact of bow the vote stood should be taken into consideration. Tb»»ty men of that body favoring at least a »umber of features of the Mills bill is significant. Fires la Rockwood and Gayandott«. , Special TiUçram to the Ïieyiïer. HrsTlKaTOsr, W.

Taylor baa consumed a errat deal of time discussing the proposi tion to strike ont the clause from the Mills tariff bill putting tin plate on the free list. He rattled awuy, hoping that the Mills who had introduced the Urifi bill would be knocked oat instead of ill the oth?r mills in the conn try. He beat the air and tried to paint a sorry picture for the conntry it tin plate was placed on the free list. * Finally, before he concluded his re marks, Mr. Raynor asked the privilege of interrupting him to ask a question. Joseph gracefully yielded, when Raynor asked bim if he was not a member of the Iron Roofing Association. He betcan to reply ia au evasive way, when Riynor shouted: "Answer my question!'' TAYLOB WRIGGLED, AND H EMM ID AND HAWED, but Raynor made him answer. "Yes," shouted Taylor, in despair, "lam " "And doesn't tin plate come in compe tition with your iron rooting?" again asked Ravnnr. Taylor tried to evade a direct answer, hat the Democrat« would not let him pro ceed till he answered the quefction, ami finally he admitted that it did. "Now," said Rivnor, "I want to ask yon if yon have not been standing in your place here in the House trying to legislate for an industry in which yon are personally and financially interested?" At this the Democrats broke ont into a wild cheer, and Taylor looking the picture of humiliation, dropped into his Beat, the cold perspiration oozing from his brow. Without another word the Republicans permitted a vote, and tin plate went on the free list. Mr. Foran, of Ohio, after having traversed 45 lines of the bill to-day, or more than had previously been covered during the «ntire fortnight's debate under the five minnte rule.

TBE NORTHWESTERN FLOOD. Part of » Town Carried Away by Millions of Loom Logt. SrpKBieR, Wis , Jane 14 —Several mil lion feet of logs broke loose from the booms above C'.eqnet yesterday, and came tearing down the stream to the island, on which several bandied people live, doing great damage. The buildings earned away were as follows: The FYeeman House, Ereret House, Tyndall's saloon and boarding house, Bovey's bather shop, Wallace's Hour and feed store, McCnllough's saloon, Blake's and Smith's saloons, the court house and jail and the dwellings of Forge Price, Anthony Shannon, GeorgeSbaffney, M. T. McGoTern. Thirty or forty other buildings are surrounded by water to the extent of seven or eight feet, and most of them have been abandoned. The St. Paul snd Duluth railroad at Fon du Lac is un der two feet of water, Snd the depot and other buildings have been abandoned and are likely to be carried away at any time. The yards of the C. N. Nelson Lumber Company, at Cloquet, are under water to the depth of ten feet, - and temporary booms bave been constructed to keep the lumber tram fl-iating off. Communication between the mainlaind and the inundated island is maintained by boats, but is be coming dangerous. At the falls near Clcqnet the scene is one of magnifi cent beauty. In twenty years so great a volume of water has not been known, and as it washes down over the rocks in great waves ot foam, it forms a picture not to be forgot ten. Great trees are thrown into the air and torn into shreds. No lives have been lost as yet, but doubtless some will be. The St Paul and Duluth Railway has abandoned the line from Dalntb to North ern Pacific Jnnction and is running trains over the Northern Pacific Roilroad via Su perior. Grave fears are felt as to the safety ot the St. Paul and Duluth bridge across St. Louis hay, and a large force of men is stationed there to prevent a jam from form ing. The loss to lumbermen at Cloquet will be enormous, as the logs will have to he picked up when they reach the lake by tng4, and it will be impossible to save them all. The loss thus far is roughly estimated at $500,000. THE PYTHIANS. The Election of Ofltoer* for the Kntulng Year. Cincinnati, Jane 14.—The Supreme Lodge Knights of Pythias elected the fol lowing officers: Supreme Chancellor, Wm. Ward, of Newark, N. J.; Supreme Vice Chancellor, Geo. D. Shaw, Eauclaire, Wir.; Supreme Prélat?, Chas. Bragg, Bangor, Maine; Supreme Keeper of the lieoords and Reals, K M. C. White, of Nashville, Ten». ; Supreme Master of Arms, Robt. Newell, of Little Kock, Ark.; Supreme Outer Guard, John W. Thompson, Washington, 1). C. ; Supreme Master of the Exchequer, Stansberry J. Wiley, Wilmington. The parade of the Knights, on Wednes day, is described by the Cincinnati papers as having been a superb spectacle. Fire thousand, two hundred and sixteen men were in line, and two hundred thousand people viewed the pai<eant. The column was in commaud of Major General Carna hau, who was accompanied by a numerous and splendidly uniformed staff, mounted on superb horses. Immediately behind cirne the head of the First Division. The Commercial Gazette says: As the Knights swung with military pre cision around tb« «orner of Fifth and Muin and into the big square • cheer arose that almost drowned the music of the band. The cheer was spontaneous and well-mer ited. The spectacle was a superb one. "From curb to enrh of Main street the Knights in the First Division filled thu street, eighteeu stalwart men in every line, shonlder to shonlder, with swords at "pre Hent," the hilts held in their clasped gloved hands. The sun, already low in the west, was rc fleeted in a thousand dancing points of light from the glittering sword-blades, clanking scabbard«, and brilliant bel ta, and their epaalette*, auguilettee and buttons glimmered goldly as they marched with rythmic step to the accompanying music. The red plumes iu their round white helmets took on a deeper crimson tint in the brilliant afternoon sun, and as the lines marched they resembled, in their uniform rise and fall, the sporting of a school of sunfishes trained to follow in the wake of a piscatorial band. J. ne npecukcic nan nu|niu nuiu nu elevated point where a view could be had of the marching Knight« Their evolu tions, became of the crowded streets, the people in some places usurping a good quarter of the street nurfaoe, were re stricted, but brilliant even in their re striction. It was a magnificent sight to see the long length of Government Square filled from end to end with marching Knights, each company breaking ranks and forming intricate geometric figure«, from the involved Mattes« cross to thi simple square, as tbey passed the review ing stand, within the fl«g drap id center of which sat Supreme Chancellor Howard Douglass, wearing a black Prince Albert coat and a Pythian button in bis lapel, and the members of the Hopreme Lodge, each wearing a brilliant Pythian badge. ; "The display was a brilliant one and uf to all expectations. The details of tb< parade are confirmatory of the genera statement that the Knights of Pythias it , biennial parade, formed one of the mos r brilliant martial displays that Cincinnat has seen for a good many years. "Even tbe ununiiorrned division madei handsome display. Tbe clattering of tb< hoofs ot tbe one bnndred mounted mem bersot the civic rank could he heard dowi Main street before Olli« BoMSrfield, witl his white military bat, tri-colored aaal and ribbon-tipped whip, wheeled at tb< head of his command into the Goveromen I Square. There was a charming uniformity ot head gear in the ununiformod division Company after company wore military > hats of white, slouched down over thei t beads, and brilliant saahee of tbe Pytbiai , tri-color.

Flknapu mad OtUrsoa HhHIj riud tor DruktuM- Other Hm. Along with the streak of good ladt that struck tbe Wheeling dab oa its lost trip came report* that members of the dab were drinking and making themselves on fit to piny v ood ball. No names were men tioned, and tbe public *« left to draw its own conclusions, and naturally the men in tbe dnb who were not gailtj were sus pected as wdl ae those wbo were, tad the latter were not numerous bj any means. There are some men in the dub wbo drink nothing at all in tbe way of intoxicanta, and tbej naturally felt iojnred at ibe re ports, bot still they had to grin and bear it It is probable now tbat tbe matter of drinking in the Wheeling dnb is at an end, as an example bas been made tbat will undoubtedly have a good effect. Tbe dub arrived borne Wednesday afternoon and two of tbe players, Ottersou and Flanagan, fell in with Stephans and Lemons, so it is reported, and proceeded to tank np until tbey got so full of boczs tbat they didn't seem to care bow things went Flanagan, it is reported, destroyed a lot of flowers in front of Nowviock's place on Main street and then nbneed Night Watch men Crawford for remonstrating with him. Fanagan has always been re garded as one of tbe steadiest men in the club, and bis action was rather in tbe natnre of a surprise, and the rumor was going amnnd yesterday that both he and Ottereou were working for their releases. If this is a fact they certainly got badly left. Anyway, they kept np their drank and last night Otterson was in a terrible state, while Flanagan was a great deal nearer sober. 111C nuBiu ui i/iivi ivm uciu m iu«xmu(( lut evening And afur fully investigating tbe matter and discuaung it thoroughly* they decided to impose » âne of f 150 on each man and suspend them indefi nitely. They came to the conclusion that it wad abont time to pat a damper on the drinking business, and their action last evening, white it is pretty rough on the oflVuders, will be] sanctioned by tbe stockholders and public generally. There is abont $2<K) d ue each mau and they will realiie their mistake when tbey re turn to their sober senses. Offenders here after, and we sincerely hope there will be none, both for the reputation of the boys and tbe standing of the national game, will receive similar treatment. It is understood that Sammy Kimber, pitcher of last year's club, and Myers, shortstop, have been telegraphed for and are expected to arrive in a day or ao, per haps in time for Saturday's game. One thing is certain—it is not probable that there will he any more drinking among tbe members of the Wheeling club. Of course every has* ball lover is sorry to see Flana gan and Otterson go, but the men brought it on themselves and have no one else to blame, even if they were tempted by tbe men who were released.
