A BASE-(BAWL) ATTACK.

Congressman Warner, of Ohio says that “them were so many thing's in Dorsey’s s ory that he k uew to be true, that he had to accept it all.— Jewell himself told him that Dorsey’s Finance Committee had raised an immense sum, of which be (Jewell) knew nothing for three months, and that they h«d kept him in igncranc because it was proposed to spend the money in a manner which he would not tolerate. While he was busy raising money frem manufacture’s to make the fight on the tariff, this Committee ofj New York bankers 'were raising immense amounts and spending them improperly. Jewell •condemned in the severest terms the manner in which the money was used.* Job n C- New said he did not know where the Indiana two dollar bills •came from, but he knew “they did * heap of good.” 4 There are other men. prominent men, who possess information as to the truthfulness of Dorsey’s charges, and possess that without the obligation of confidence. Some of them may ere long tell what they know.

Gen. Durbin Ward made a splend d Democratic speech the other night at Galion Ghio. The Republicans of the Buckeye State thought to profit by the temporary disappointment occasioned tboGeneral by the nomina* tion of Jodgo Hoadly. The old war horse concluded his speech as follows: “On the other hand, my Democratic friends, our party is perennial Its principles are suited to overv phase of National progress, need of social development. It dis* cards centralization and paternal Government If teaches that when hundreds of millions gathei under our flag from eveuy clime and nation no repose can be had except under Chat dual system of government which gives indestructible autonomy both to the Union and* the States, and leaves the largest liberty of indi vidual action. Break down or enfeeble the States, and rule from the Federal Capitol by sairaps or ProConsuls from tiie Atlantic io r..e Pacific, and the corruptions ami linen-* tiousness of Persia or Rome will extinguish public liberty or drown the struggli g Nation in; a sea of blood; or clothe Government with paternal power over the social movements of the people and our civilizatien would be stereotyped into a lifeless conser vatism. The oast of the Democratic paity guarantees the coustry against these evils from its rule in the future. My comrades, to us and those who come after us, the reservation and enforcement of our principles are committed. Banish from you. cduu>- ’ seis uni your methods ail tim.- err. ' ing poln yor ambition, all chicanery I or corruption if any exists, ail. vaqil- < lation and timidity, and press forward to victory in October, and next year and all future years. Rally and uphold the standard of constitutional liberty and personal rights, not only as the guido of the hour, but that they may be transmitted in full vigor and witn progressive power to our children’s children as a] legacy onj during forever.

Editor Democratic Sentinel: I notice an article in the Goutlland Herald, of Sa uiday, St pt. Ist, in regard to the game of base ball played on the Remington Fair Ground, which, in my opinion, should be noticed, from the fact, that it is calculated to mislead. The Herald says “the came was virtually won bv the Goodland club, but the ignorance or cussedness of the fair officers beat them out of the S2O purse.” The above imputations are very unjust when urged again-1 such men as Porter, flonsler, Hoover. Tabor, Bellows, Snyder, Durand and others who have buik up the reputation of their as sociation by straightforward honesty until it ranks to-day among the best district organizations in the State.— The editor further says: “They [the “Comets”] evidently knew that the Goodlabd club would clean them out if in good trim and they wanted to take advantage of their condition to gobble the $20.” Wb&t superlative nonsense! What Havana had those clubs of knowing the merits of each each o'.her? Ti.ey had.never before contested the field. The fact is the whole matter was carried out in accordance with the programme The “Comets” extend to the Goodland club fellowship and good-wiil, regarding taem as equals in honesty and good standing us citizens. They do not believe the Goodland club indorse the “caterwauling” exhibition in tee Herald of Sept. Ist. They attribute it to Kitt-aniah zeal; and in .this particular case it proves to be over-zeal. They believe they owe nothing to the reline-numcd genius that presizeds over the columns of the Herald, and ean well afford to a low him full enjoyment at purring or spuitering ▲ Challenge —The “Comets” have made up a purse of $l5O 00 which th»y wi 1 place against a like amount t > be raised l,y the Goedlaud club, to be. contested for by the same clubs and. members thereof, as shown by tally sheets. The contest ‘o eome off en the sam- ground, and within the' next twenty days—the winning dub to take the pot.
