He lias many warm friends, who will do valiant service for him in tlte primaries. Dissolved. By an announcement in Wednes day's Republican wc learn that the editorial firm of Hancock & Warren is to be dissolved on the fifteenth of ibis month, Judge Warren re tiring from the Republican. We are sorry to lose the Judge, for he has proved himself a pleasant neigh bor, and we are sure the readers of the Republican will miss bis bright sayings. We hope soon to hear that be has connected himself with some other paper, for we do not want to lose him entirely from the editorial fraternity. For Mayor. In another column will be found the announcement oi Capt. A. C. Bell as a candidate for Mayor. Dapt. Bell’s experience as an Alder man should make him well qualified for the office of Mayor so far as the administration of the city govern rnent is concerned. In addition to his experience, he is well known to be a public spirited citizen, ever ready to respond to the call for im provement, and if he ahould bo elected we have no fears that Amerlcus would be allowed to foil, behind in the procession of cities.

THE BOYS AT THE BAT. Psrrjr Stars ^ WiU Wednesday noon Perry, arrived to play r the Com' mercial boys a friendly game of ball. Mr. R. • N. Holtzclaw, prominent lawyer of that eity, was captain of the nine, aud he, as well as the others, proved to bf gentle manly and agreeable, exi perhaps they expected tdo many concessions from the home club in waiving the rules. About 3:30 the clubs walked out to the grounds, accompanied by a large audience. During the pro gress of the game a great number of ladies arrived and spurred the boys on. :. * V % ' Captain Storey lost the toss and went to the bat, taking the first on called balls. Cater, tbe Perry pitcher, threw a swift ball, but a wild one. Hawkins made a safe bit, and the game had fairly begun. After scoring 5 runs our boys subsided and took tbe field. Tbe visiting olub were unable to" bat Hawkins, and retired after sooring one run. The borne club rolled up lour in the next inning, whitewash, ed Perry, and retired themselves with a goose egg on the third. In the six other innings Perry made 22 runs while the home club made 12. In the 7th Inning Walker, who is new behind the bat, got his hands blistered and was compelled to stop. Perry would not consent to Hawkins taking his place and putting in another pitcher, so Jor dan finished up the inning for him. By the wild throws in this inning Perry scored 8 runs, 4 men com ing in while the ball was lost in the grass, Tlte umpire called the game as the first half of tbe ninth inning was being played, on account of coming darkness. The Perry boys didn’t say much about darkness until one man bad reached second base and tbe man at the bat bad four balls and no strikes called. Then they found they couldn’t see the ball, and Umpire Mayo colled tlte game. The scorers reported the game, and ho declared it a tie, 22 to 22. The crowd then dispers ed. After they were off the grounds tho Perry scorer came to the umpire anti said he had found another score for hi9 side. The umpire generously allowed it, and declared the game won by Perry by one round. SHOUT STOPS. ANNOUNCEMENTS ' , ' pwrIayor. « We aro authorised to an name of A. C. BELL as a oaodii—- .
