campaign that tv'.ll cnal.lo our invinci
ble young candidate to liijlke of the
sixth the banner Doraocrattc district of
the state.
In England, whore government by
party had Its origin, nml haa reached
Us most perfect development, there
nave never boon more than two con
siderable parties contending for tho
control of lh« government. By what
ever name known, one of these parties
has represented the tendency to change,
the discontent with existing conditions,
tho desire for progress which always
nlfccts the coodnot.of n largo propor
tion of men, wbtoh is Inherent, and
without which society nnd government
would remain In the stagnant condition
seen In China. At Its host, tills party
represents the "noblo discontent’ of
'Emerson, mid at its worst Ihe selfish
passions anil desires of men who wish
to thrive at Ihe expenso of tho com
munity, rattier tlinn by their own ex
ertions nnd sacrifices, 'file other party
tins represented the nnt1|mthy to change
which Is also Inherent In men, tho do-
sire that tilings shall remath ns they
are, the tolerance of imllttcnl evil* that
grows out of tho fear that any chiingo
menus n substitution of something
worse, tho conservatism, that In tho do-
sire to hold on to everything good Is
unable clearly to see that certain things
arc not good merely because they are
old mid have been long accepted.
These llui-s of deinureatkin between
British parties are tho same Hint sep
arate pnrtlis In other solf-goverulug
countries, tint have been much more
sharply defined. They have been con
fused tern by class Interest mid class
prejudice*, so that In England, more
than nny other country, It may Isi said
Hint politics moved on nn intctlcotunl
plane. Men divided because of a-dltTor-
cure of opinion rattier than because of
a divergence of Interests. For this rea
son it has lieen tmo that tho rich nnd
poor, tho nobles nnd tho eoinmnncra
were dlvidifl with something approach
ing equality between tho two parties.
The majority of the nobles nml land-
owners, iiertiaps. have belonged to the
Conservative or Tory parly nurltig tho
Inst two hundred years, but a very
large minority. Iiieluding many ut'ile.
men of the hlgliest rank, have tielonged
to the Wlitg or Liberal party, aud were
ntde to fairly preserve the social bal
mier la politics.
It Is a tendency, however, la British
politics, now very strongly developed,
for party notion to lio ditrunlucd or
lnrgvly Influenced by ctass or soctloiinl
Interests, and oue of the consequences
Is Indicated 111 our London dlspntchcs
of yesterday. The general election Is
uenr mid die Liberal parly, though It
Is In power, flints It hunt to raise money
for election expenses. Tills Is been use
tho drift of the party during recent
years toward radicalism nnd socialism
Ims initio fur toward ulloasttag freni It
tho property holding classes which
though favorable to progress are op-
posed to revolution. Those elnssos have
heretoAm borne tin* expoosos of tlie
party’s rampnlgiix. which nre Inrger,
proportionately, In Gretit Brllnlu than
lu the tlntled Sinlea, and the govern
meat does not contribute Indirectly to
tliolr payment, as .bs-s oars. The can
dldate for psrilnioeat must meet tils
expenses without hope of being retm-
bursisl In tlie event of success by hts
salary as a member. The meinliera of
parliament nre paid' no salaries, and
tlie poor man who is elected a member
must Ik* supported from hi* party's
campaign fund or the voluntary sub
scriptions of tils constituents.
The result of tills clinugo In tho con-
Stltuenl eleineiits of the party Is likely
to bo an oxaguerallon of pnrtl*au feel
lug lu electloW Isak^llja will b>
Influenced more tiy cla-w and less X*y
national Interests. If tbo Ltberals sue-
cowl In currying ihe election lu sptte
of their lack of money nnd tho support
they lmvc heretofore laid frem a lsrgi
party of tlio isfldllty and landed arts
tec racy It will no lonht itrcngihon It:
baud for tbs future hy voting salarie
to JMtobere of parliament. Tlie consti
tution of prsredsata, of which Stim
men nr»\s.» penal, wilt l.* likely to suf
fer many changes lu a few ftttm,
tho change* will lie lu tbo dlrvotiou of
cnrtulHng the prlvilcves of tho
nnd enlarging tho rigtits of tho many.
No doubt many tu'stakes will lie made
and perhaps some Injustice done, hut
the tiled outcome will lie better govern-
meut. ,
In hla testimony before the toiler
commission, Mr, (Jumpers, president of
tho American Confederation of Labor,
Mid that ho was opposed to strikes bin
that ho thought that they would con
tinue to occur as long us uiuptoycra re
fused to pay just wages. This raises
tho question, what arc Just wages'/
Who is to determine tho nmiruut to bo
paid by tlio employer to tho employe - /
In tho settlement of this all-important
question Is (ho amount of wages to bo
paid to bo left with -‘lilicr employer or
employes acting atone? Is It. jiot cer
tain that if left to either the settlement
would ho un unjust ono-tlmt too low
wpgea would he paid In ouo ease, and
that In tbo other wages so high would
lie demanded that the .‘taployer could
not long pay them? it seems to ns
this Is manifestly true, nnd It follows
that tho fixing of prages must k» done
both by employer und employe—by
agreement tf possible aud by conten
tion If necessary. This is only saying
that tlio present system muse continue
lu force, Tho price must bo tiled by
tho'law of supply nnd dcimutd In the
In fore©. Tho price must tic fixed In
tho long run hy tho law of supply nnd
demand, which may t>o modified, or
rather may be given full effect,' by tho
orgmflzntlon of labor on ouo aide nml
of employers on tho other. It scorns
to us Umt all attempts to iscapo tho
operation of tills uatural law must fad.

cal Record Since 1S72.
TV. the Editor of the Telegraph:
Please allow me Bonce to which to no-
tlco nn article In roar Irene of the 24th
button, over the signature of A. S. Giles
for himself nnd O. 6L Houser. Mr.
Houser, he says, denies Ithe charge of
oanteinplated Independent candidacy tor
mayor against Mr. ttkellle. but he of
fer. inching to substantiate his denial
end makes no demnndB on me for proof,
but of course (hart la because he I. so
uppueed .o contorts and wishes to re
tire. So I shall say to him as the dis
appointed girl itid to her kwer, who
was Uo cnll for her nt 4 o'clock to go
buggy riding and came at 6 to say that
he had no buggy amt could nut got one,
and she said sweetly: 'U”l .excuse
you.” So If Mr. llouser la out of soap
and can't get any tl'11 exciue him.
iMr. (Him labors at great length to
luatlfy his euwwrt of the Republican
iisiead of tho Dentocratto nominee for
president In 1872. Jus; an nil men have
to do when they got outside of the
potty to get men to vdto for. I shall
nut write a history of my political life,
aw Mr. Gtlee would have .he reader be*
lievo bo lias dbnn, but shall simply say
that 1 have gjwayg supported the men
that the Denxicrattc party nominated,
even though they be radical, ns -la prov
en by my support of Mr. Giles when
nominated by tha party. The difference
between Mr. Giles' Democracy - nnd mine
Is, I ean support even a radical for ©f-
Itoo If eet apart by tho Democratic
p.rty. but l can't go over to the negro
radical not tty and lecture them art night,
»s Mr. Giles did to gel an ofllce. I
think Mr. Gtlee' Democracy la very
mueh Uke Judge Gresham's Republi
canism—tt becomes quite clastic when
office Is to be had. t have never had
nor never expect to have any confidence
In the political soundness of any man
that w ill desert htw Mity In the libur of
peril for securing to himself spalls, as
dtd Mr. Giles lu IS?!. And he would
now have us believe thst he was nn im-
l/>rtant factor tn keeping the negro
down, and »> he wa«—and he kopt the
Democrats down also.
Now -the .ruth Is that Mr. Hunt of
Tennessee. a Union soldier and nn old
friend of Mr. Gltns, rolled In here bn
the enrsKshbag wane tn seareh of plun
der, and tn quite a short while he and
Mr. Giles lind tho grip on the negro
and the result was that a* fhe first
MMWi Mr. Giles was elected ordtnary
nnd Air. .Hunt tax tsotlector on ths- ne
gro radical ticket Mr. Hunt, - not being
satisfied, took another slice In .he tax
receiver's oltloe t«t ithe next election,
ami as soon as the reoomttrurtlon days
were gone and the llunt-like carpet
baggers were no more In the land and
Sir. Giles had no radical party to fall
back on In cnee of Democratic defeat,
be was taken out eml a good old Demo
crat put in the ordinary# office.
Mr. Giles charges .hat it le unbereym
In* conduct In me to try to tmperrtl
hie sucoesa as the nominee of .he party.
I stated tn my last h«:er positively that
I was sure Mr. Giles was not the nomi
nee of the Democratic party, and I state
I: again and stand ready t'o prove H
when catted upon to do re\ and when I
vote for Mr. ditto tn October, as I ex
pert go do. I shall nog vote for hint as
tin* man chosen bf the Democrats of
this county to serve them, but shall
vote tor him a* a man pot upon the
party by n class of Illegal voter* and
sustained by .he executive committee
by a majority of one vote, and that- un
der a very mistaken Idea of party etfe-
ty, and In the face of the welt estab
lished fact that K wvnX do to seal up
corruption tn She party, hut that safety
lire In pursing It out.
1 plead guilty to the sin of voting
once for Mr. aUex I did It s. the re
quest and under a wrong appeal from
my much loved friend. Judge Notting
ham. who knew ths. I always fought
GUre In politic*. Now I regret dragging
Mr. Odes Into this nutter .but hi* fail
ure to error .he county papers against
roe being properly considered. I dbn't
believe It St very, greet crime efler
all a* U gives him a better chance to
gome out with hts poBtlcal history than
he had through Mr. Houser. .
, * It men mean what they toy, Mr. Giles'
statement that he hae been supported
by nearly every prominent Democrat In
the county Is quite a broad' miftake.
Now. Iam dealing wltli Mr. Ollea politi
cally and not personally. I have noth
ing whatever agalnsi Mr. Gtle* .hat
would (prevent my treating Mm as kind;
ly as I ever have.-but I s.iy here and
nog chat no man with hW past political
record, together with his conduct In
dodging a fair, honorable Investigation
os to hts present candidacy. Is worthy
of the support and confidence of true
and honorable Democrats. I say now
thst .0 bar the doom against an Inves
tigation In psrty muter, where trun
Democrats come with illegalities al
leged, to un-Domocrattc, unmanly and
extremely dertlmcna.il to party unity
anil harmony. And I further say that
the man who lx willing to force himself
upon the people by .he ns* of such
methods as Mr. Giles has employed and
In the face of past party precedent tn
the county, pi a perfect stranger to pure
Democracy.
I can't see the relevance to Ibis lame
of Mr. Giles' great tirade of abuse of
PCjr old dead Greely and hla cuts at the
Democratic convention that Indorsed
him as their candidate for president.
Nor ean I see .he comfort nor precedent
for Mr. Giles In hi* bloated eutogy of
Mr. Grant, who sent tto n soldier's grave
nnd to eternity by his command mors of
our best and noblest Southern manhood
thnn nny man that ever lived nnd then
deserted Ihe Democratic pnrty tor of
fice. as Mr. Giles did. and lived the rest
of his life a solid, staunch member of
the Radical panty.
Now. Mr. Giles cltew the action of the
grand Jury In indorsing hla official rec
ord. which I have never referred to In
tha slightest. No one questions his
ability as an officer, and I say to his
credit than he filled the oltlce ably, os
no doubt many members of the Republi
can party,are doing In different coun
ties and Started tn the Union. It Is only
Mr. Glle»( political record thart Is under
.consideration and his conduct in ward
ing off a contest, the object nnd 'only
Object of which he has In an open, hon
orable, Demonraltle way to see whether
he or I was the nominee In .he recent
primary In this county.

EXCESS OF IMAGINATION.
To the Editor of the Telegraph: We
sometimes meet a man with a griev
ance, but be with whom this nrtlcle
has to do I* a man with nn Imagina
tion. Any one who has ever listened
to Col, .1 ohn Temple Graves' lectures
or read hls essays or speeches knows
Chat the colonel suffers sorely from ex
cess of imagination. Xn Mm the Imagi
native faculty is most abnormally ile-
veloed. Apart from hts lectures and es
says there are other evidences of his
ufflictlon from enlargement of the Im
agination. This excess was shown to
;l remarkable degree when .he colonel
supposed that the Alliancemen of Geor
gia would allow him und Livingston
to dlotitte tho senartomhlp of Georgia
und rush Pat Calhoun in over the no
ble Gordon. All excess baggage is
charged for und the colonel hud to
pay excess changes In this cose. Dereut
Is always hard pay. , „
This excess of Imagination was also
ma-nlfev/ted when Oho colonel advised
•the general government to take the ne-
grus trad colonlxe them Into a atate
unto -lihemaeivto a sort of Ideal Liberia,
U. S. A. —'id>"i
This excess was again Shown during
the gubernatorial canvass, when Col.
John Temple Graves delivered nn ora
tion gainst Akklnson. The coloneb you
know, has a lecture—''The Reign of the
De mogog lie"—gotten up years ago for
Ch-aurtaunuos und commencemeiiPoccn-
alons, so much a lecture'. He tfpp.isd
'this lecture to Atkinson und mode him
out one bf the most corrupt of.-ltvlng
men.
The latmlt evidence of this riot of
ImagUmtlon Is Col. Grave's urfjqle In
Sunday'*.CSjnxUtutlon. He calks ifur u
denl.i or explanation of the charges. I
proose to do both. He declares tn his
article, most gravely, too, that Qeorgta
Is rife today with the spirit of revolt.
Such u revolt, he says, that things mu*,
he explained to him, Oise he and thou
sands of others writ fling defiance at
the Democratic party in tlie October
election, lie -tells us tn hi* article most
frankly .hat -the cause of this deep re
volt, which will manifest Ptself in Oc
tober. Is not the defeat of Gen. Evans,
net the tariff, not the quarrel of Cleve
land and the senate, not the great v*-
rlrty or fiiiancUil -theories, not the mul-
itlfurlous platforms, state, national or
congreoslomil; not the silver question,
n« overproduction, not partisan bitter
ness nor negre supremacy, but—what?
Now. reader, whalt do you guess?
He enya n ring bus been formed tn
Georgia, which has parcelled out OB the
offices for years to come, nnd that the
Judiciary of -The state have Joined tho
coalition, whereupon ho raises tho eye
brows of -his Imagination In horror as
he sees the bench tn Georgia tilled In
future with a. set of Jeffries. This lot-
iter of his In the Constitution of Sunday
is but the edbo of tils Marietta speech
against Atkinson. Tho whole thing
springs from a diseased Imagination.
Who constitutes torts ring, this cabal of
which ho speaks? He leaves us In the
dark. So far as Atkinson is concerned
he has again and again openly declared
that ho has promised office to no one,
nnd If elected he will go Into office free
and untnamelled. Can we believe him?
The people hnve apoen. What, then, of
the Judlcl-iry? Do they belong to the
cabal? Col. Graves asserts that "a
pure Judiciary towvrs above every
question and is the great Issue now:
•Well, nvhut have our Judiciary
done to make (hem un Issue
and cause Col. John and his thou
sands tie swear* about to be 60 defiant
about election time? What have they
done? They hcluivel modestly in (he
recent campaign. Two-thirds of them
by uo.'uol count were for Gen. Evans,
but mindful of the office they held, they
made no eturnp speeches, hut 'wore so
discreet Hurt Col. John did ni know
■'where they were at,” und In Yds Im
agination placed ihem tn the thicks*
or the fight leading the Atkinson
forces. An.l wtu’t about the balance,
the remaining one-rthtrd? Are they the
one* nrho dragged the ermine in dls-
graee? What did they do? Tell ft. Let
It out. Have they done such deeds us
to make the question of a pure Judi
ciary "the only question In October?"
Tell us what they have done. Put up
or shut up.
Ami even If some Judge did not come
up to the Ideal standord of JuJK-l.il
propriety (and 1 know of none), what
relief can be found for Col. Graves and
his thousands by defying Democracy in
October! Is Judge Hint*, who left the
bench and went Into potttica, preaching
division, alienation, destroying the ho-
mogenRy of our people, taking advnn.
tilge of the stress of the times to be
guile them, such an example as piensc
the linagiroitkm of Ool. John Graves
la Judge ltine* more to vet y .ban Judge
Jenkins, Judge Bower, Judge Kanselt
join Clarke, Judge Smith, Judge
Hunt, Judge Sweat, Judge Boyington.
Judge Hardeman and others of .he
Georgia bench?
This i* the remedy: The legislature,
not the cabal of Col. Grow*' imagina
tion. elects our Judiciary. Send go-id
men to the legtstature and our Judgsa
will not be spoilsmen hint we will hnve
«u> Jeffries on toe bench. The tegua-
ture generally does right. Even the
Alliance legislature, when Livingston
was supposed to control, overthrew the
coalition or UvtagMon. MiCime itr.-l

to detent toe glorious Gordon and send

SPINNERS AND WEAVERS.
WAS NOT A MEMBER.
To the Editor of the Telegraph:
riense say through the columns of the
Tlie Situation at .Fall River, Lowell
and New Bedford, Mass.
Fall River, Aug. 27.—The Canwii'cnt
mill has closed Its gates lndcfiittrly
and there no remains but four corpo
ration's out of the forty-two that are
tuaklug attempts to run their mills.
The Fall River Iron Works nnd Baiv,
nuby gingham bid fair to continue lu
full operation, as they are paying under
the old scale. Durfee No. 2 and Sen-
connet ore running under tbe new
schedule, and predictions aro , freely
made today that the help will leave
them Wednesday und Friday when
they receive their first payments under
the 10 per cent, reduction,
Tho temper of the Mule Spinners’
Association has changed materially
within the past forty-e;ght hours, aud
Secretary O'Donnell reports that front
talks with many spinners this morning
be bus concluded that tho men will not
return to work nt tho old rates while
cotton and cotton cloth nre quoted at
present prices lu tho open market. This
attitude Is in direct .opposition to that
assumed by tlie Spinuwa’ Association
at the meeting held o week ago last
Friday night.
SJneo that time, however, print cloths
have Jumped to 2 3-4 cents and cotton
has remained about stationary. Xh.s
new stand is of particular importance
because Uopo was gaining that certain
mills which had signed the manufac
turers’ agreement would eventually
break away and start nt prices satis
factory to tbo spinners nnd carders.
An attempt was made to start tho
Slobo yarn mtU this morning but card
ing room help refused to work at the
new rates. They held a meeting and
voted to remain avmy from the mlllR
while tbo reduced aro offered by tlio
management. Secretary Tnrsney Is
endeavoring to compromise with Agent
Sanford on a 5 per cent, reduction, and
lnnaiimch ns -tne (New Bedford yam
mills end tlie Kerr thread mills are in
operation nt neuriy tbe old rates, be
feels very confident of success.
Tlie King Phillip strikers met this
morning, and some of them who are
not In good flir.inctnt slnndtng In tbo
union were paid from tbe collections
made from the public. The carders
aud weavers will bold general meetings
tonight.
AN APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE.
New Bedford. Aue. 27.—The New Bed
ford Cotton Wes rare’ Protective Asso
ciation has Issued nn appeal to .he peo
ple of the New Kmti.iml antes tn -which
they ask for support in their fight
ogxtnst the corporations. Xn speaking
of .he strike the (weavers ray:
"It has been forced upon us by the
most cruel and unlust action of our
employers. One year ng'o our wages
were reduced 10 to 20 per cent This we
quickly accepted. Later in the year the
reduction has been large In the weav
ing department by the great lengthen
ing of cut* wlithout extra pay and by
dunging the teylea of cloth. By these
unjust means some corporations have
further reduced the weavers from 10
to 25 per cent. r l'heae corporations,
which are treating the operatives with
such oeorn and coretemQt nre nearly all
paying their usual dividends, and the
stockholders have scarcely suffered at
all. The operatives et New Bedford
have, therefore, struck work agaln«
this cruel and needless reduction In
their wages"
There to ■ runiof that the Bennett
and Columbia mills will start up next
Wednesday under the bid K-hetJule. The
officials will 'no. affirm or deny the re
port.
MILLS RESUME AT LOWELL.
Ianvell, Aug. *7.—Tlie TiVmona and
Suffolk mills started up today In nil
departments except he color and blan
ket rooms, with 1.700 Operatives. The
Middlesex woolen mills and carding and
wptnning rcvrma and a part of the weav
ing rooms also resumed work and also
tile A DC Ikon milts in alt departments.
The total number of operatives set to
work Is about S.W0. There is a tempor
ary scarcity of weavers In the Lowell
cotton mills:
MILLS OPENED UP.
Dover. N. H., Aug. 27 —The Cochro

TWO CHAMPIONS MEET.
Griffith of Austria and McAullfTe of Amer
ica, Fight Ten Corklni? Rounds.
Coney Island, Aug. 27.—Seldom ha« a
limited round contest attracted euch a
wkle-spread interest ac that tontcht: at
the Seaside Athletic Club between Jack
McAuliffc and Alfred Griffith, better
known as ‘'Young Grlffo," the foxmer,
the light weight champion of America,
and the latter, the featherweight champi
on of Australia. Both men were far be
yond the weight limit of their respective
classes, but this cut no figure tonight, as
the men fought at catch weights ond the
contest was decided on Its merits.
The Fport began with a wrestling match
and two minor boxing contests. John
Madden of Brooklyn, beat Connie SulH-
van of New York In a six round match
and A1 O’Brien of Philadelphia knocked
out Charles Burns of Cincinnati in the
fourth round. Then came tho btar event
of the evening. The seconds were: Ed
die Stoddard, Jimmy Oarroli, Jack Shee
han and Bennie Murphy for Jack JMcAu-
llffe, while the men who looked after
Grlffo were Pete Dunne of Sydney, Con
RIordan of SanFrancIsco, H. TuthlU of
Saginaw and Billy Selleck of New York.
Maxey Moore of New York athletic club
was refree. Grlffo said he weighed J33
pounds and McAullffe Raid he weighed
140 pounds, but the difference between
these weights when they entered the
ring, looked very much greater, McAullffe
looked fully twenty pounds heavier.
First Round.—Both men appeared In
tho ring with nothing but blue trunkr.
McAullffe led off and planted his left In
Griffo’s face. Grlffo retaliated by smash
ing Jack on the jaw. McAullffe led and
was cleverly stopped and Grlffo swung his
right on Jack’s wind. Grlffo won the
house by his clever ducking and coun
tering. Jack led and landed n wicked left
on Grlffo's wind and got a smash on tho
Jaw in return for it. The-vast crowd woo
yelling themselves hoarse when the gong
sounded. \
Second Round.—Grlffo was much more
clever than Jack had expected to find
him, and his blows were returned with
equally good effect. McAullffe did the
bulk of the leading. But Grlffo would
counter on him every time nnd honors
were pretty evenly divided. In fact it
was seen that Jack had met his equal In
every respect, if not hlfl superior.
Third Round.—Grlffo landed when and
where he pleased. He hammered Jack
with his right nnd left handers and soon
had his nose bleeding. Every time Jack
led he was met by Grlffot The round
ended In Grlffo's favor.
Fourth Roud.—MWAullffe led but fell
short and landed on Griffo’s apm. Tho
Australian forced the fighting arid landed
two left handers In rapid succession on
McAuliffe’s face, sending him over agulnst
the ropes, which he was obliged to grasp
to keep from falling. McAullffe did his
utmost to land some stiff body punches,
but his efforts seemed to be in vain. Grif-
fo kept Jabbing his left into MCAullffe’a
face and pumping his right into his body.
Grlffo had all the best of the round and
hit McAullffe as he ploased.
Fifth Round.—McAullffe bad clearly met
a stiffer and gamer man than he bar
gained for. The men continued to smash
each other all over the ring. Grlffo clev.
erly had all the best of It. He landed
his left eha-vlly four times in succession
and appeared to have Jack rattled. The
round ended as tho others had—In Griffo’s
favor.
Sixth Round.—McAullffe ruched Grlffo
and landed his left with but little effect.
Grlffo drove his right into McAuliffe’s
ribs with telling effect and smashed him
on the mouth with tihe left. Once McAu
llffe tried hla rushing tactics, but the
blows he delivered seemed to, have but
Httleor no effect. Grlffo put a stiff right
hander on MctAullffe’s closed eye, and It
puffed his cheek considerably. Grlffo was
too clever for McAullffe,. who seemed to
be making a chopping block of Jack.
Jack was slow In oil of his movements
and very stale.
Seventh Round.—Griffo feinted and
landed his left on Jack’s wind and a
ment later landed right and left on Jack’s
face. Jack rushed and was met hy u
straight left from Griffo. Grlffo smashed
Jack bn the Jaw several times and Jt
looked like all day for Jack. Griffo led
for the face and Jack countered with his
right, and wus Immediately crossed by
Grlffo, who landed twice in succession and
forcing Jack around the ring at the
call of time.
Eighth Round.—The game was much
harder than McAullffe had bargained for,
and while he tried to rally !n this round,
he wus only farming himself out as a
punching bag for the Australian. There
was scarcely a mark on Griffo, while Jack
looked decidedly the worse for wear. The
crowd got excited and commenced to
coach, some of them telling Jack to str.y
away, while others shouted to Grlffo to
put him out. Grlffo had all the best of the
round and punched McAullffe almost at
will. It was a great surprise to McAu-
llffe’s admirers.
Ninth Round.—This round opened with
n rush. Jack sent a corking shot on Grif
fo’s Jaw. It was hammer and tongs all
over the ring. Grlffo began to hug to
avoid punishment. Jack mado play for the
wind, but he had waited too long. He ap
peared to have gained some of his old
time form and went at Grlffo savagely.
He fought him all over the ring and Grlf
fo began to clinch to avoid punishment.
This was Jack’s round and tho referee
was kept busy separating them. The
round ended In Jack’s favor.
Tenth Round.—Tho crowd began to leave
the building before the round began. Mc
Aullffe opened hostilities by planting his
right In Griffo’s stomach. The fighting
in this round was of the fiercest nature,
but os desperate as McAullffe was, he
could not put Grlffo out. Pandemonium
reigned when the announcement waa
made that the referee had decided Mc
Aullffe the winner.
Grlffo mode a speech from the stage
and said he would fight McAullffe to
finish any time he desired to fight.
