CouutKK Correspondence. In connec
tion with tho Brcckinridgo-Pollurd ciibo,
I hoar that Mr. Brccklnrldgo's counsel
is getting assistanco of tho most active
kind in tho putting together of his
counter allegations from curtain Wash
ington ladles whoso jealousy and ill-will
Miss Pollard has in somo way aroused,
and who are now eagerly seizing tho
opportunity of doing her ull tho harm
in their power. Not satisfied with their
own personal efforts to help tho Brock
inridgo caiiflo along, tho individuals in
question uro also voluutonring, in tho
most gratuitous manner possible, tho
names of any of their acquaintances
who, according to their idea, could and
should throw light on tho pant career of
Miss Pollurd. I havo boon told recently
of several ladles that havo been applied
to for information in tho matter who
would under no consideration havo
themselves mixed up in any way with
the affair, and who arc, very justly, ex
ceedingly annoyed ut tho impertinent
liberty that is being taken with their
names. It is refreshing to hear that
thero are somo women who do not be
lieve in kicking a holploss sister when
who is going down hill. Of thoso, how
ever, who, to gratify potty splto and
malice, aro ready to go into the witness
box in fuvor of tho very honorublo
gentleman who is to figure so conspicu
ously in tho case, I would ask if their
course of conduct is' notto put tho
thing on no higher level a trine short
sighted? For can they not seo that
they will not hotter their own status by
tho undesirable publicity to which they,

aware, gentlewomen of high standing
who will be forced, by circumstances
beyond their control, to take a very un
willing part in fhe suit reforred to, but
not a, witnesses for the venerable de
fendant. Indeed, their testimony' will
go far to prove, coming, as it will, from
unquestionable sources, that Miss Pol
lard had Mr. Breckinridge's promise of
marriage, given her not once but several
times, and that in tho presonco of third
parties. Altogothor, thero will bo much
to say on both sides, and many to say it.

Thf dally papers of Omaha, Kansas
City, Sioux City, St. Pnul, Mlnncnimlls,
und Denver aro just now discussing tho
probability of a revival of tho Western
huso ball league. Thero scorns to bo
an almost unnnimous desiro for tho
resurrection of tho league, und in tho
cltios mentioned tho greatest interest is
manifested in tho national game, and
thoso who havo expressed themselves on
tho subject declnro w 1th a groat deal of
positivoness that leaguo clubs, under
such modifications ns aro proMsed, can
bo supported in tho cities named. Tho
modifications Includo a very mntoriul
roductlon in salaries. A number of
lottors huvo been received in this city by
tho editor of tho Couhikk, tho officers of
tho Lincoln Street Railway company,
und others, asking it Lincoln will offor
any inducement for a leaguo club. Tho
situation hns beon protty thoroughly
canvassed by a representative of Titr.
Coumr.it this week and it has been
ascertained that whilo thoro Is much In
terest folt in tho sport in this city, and
u strong dee iro to seo baso ball rehabi
litated in Lincoln, there is absolutely no
reason to suppose that any financial orj
coursgement will 1h held out in this
city. 'Tis not that wo lovo baso ball
less, but that wo lovo what littlo monoy
wo huvo left more. Nobody Is willing to
subscribo anything now. Mr. Uphum,
of tho Lincoln Street Railway company
would very much liko to boo Lincoln a
momber of tho Western league, if tho
leaguo is to bo rovived, but ho Bald that
after tho experiences of two years ago,
thoy would not fool warranted in making
any cash outlay on that account. If thoro
is a club formed in this city tho com
pany will cheerfully donate tho uso of
tho ball park.
A gentleman who is well qualified to
know tho temper of tho Lincoln public
and tho probability of support for a baae
ball club in thla city, said to a Codbixb
representative yesterday: - - "
"I believe and always havo believed
that base ball, coi.ductod on legitimate
business principles, would pay in Lin
coln. Tho trouble has been that too high
salaries were paid, and then everybody
subscribed so heavily that they did not
feel ablo to pay thoir way into tho gamo.
If I had tho timo and 15,000 that I
didn't need in my business I would
organize and nianago a club in this city,
and I am conildont that I could mako
monoy. I wouldn't ask bonuses of any
body. I would pay reasonable salaries,
and I would not issue any passes. Tho
people who wanted to boo the gamo
would havo to pay. Undor thoso con
ditions I um satisfied base ball in this
town would bo moro than Belt sustaining
1 don't know of any town of equal
sizo whero there is as much genuino in
terest in base bull as in Lincoln."
A meeting of representatives of
western cities will probably bo held in
tho near futuro to discuss plans for
reorganization and tho chances nt this
writing aro thut Lincoln will not bo in
it.

Zchrung received tho following letter
from Georgo Tobeau in Denver:
Drnvkk, Coi,., Sept 10, 1803. Frank
Zchrung, Esq., Lincoln, Neb. Dear Sir:
Mr. John S. Barnes, of St. Pnul, und
myself huvo been in corrcsixmdonco
with parties in Kansas City, Milwaukee,
St. Puul, Minneapolis, Omaha, Sioux
City, Dcs Moines and Denver, with tho
end in view of organizing u strong west
ern leuguo for tho season of 18!M. Wo
havo met with great success ull along
tho lino, und it now looks as if wo would
bo able to call a meoting to complete
such un organization about October 1,
A rest of two ycura has whetted tho
uppotites of tho base ball fans through
out tho west, und wo anticipate no
trouble in organizing u strong und per
manent leaguo. I would bo pleased to
hoar from you hr regard to putting it
club in Lincoln. Tho custom of advanc
ing money to players has boon ubolishcd,
whero in former yours it wns customary
to put out from 81,500 to 83,000 advance
each season. A full team cun now bo
signed without advancing a cent. In
1891 your salary list must huvo reached
820,000 for six months. Wo cun huvo tho
sumo bull now ut 81,200 per month or
87,200 for six months, thus having a clear
saving of ut leust 812,000 on salaries
alone. ,
In former years it wub necessary to
huvo ut loust 85,000 cash on bund to run
a club through tho season. With no ad
vunco money sj stem and expenses lees
than ono half of what thoy wero in '01
each club would make monoy from tho

I feel cmtldent thut it yourself und

Lincoln can bo dopondod on to patronize

tho V. M. R. C. Tho Third ward sont
thirty-elght doleirutes, and eleven of
them belonged to tho club. The Fourth
ward delegation was eoniKwed of forty,
flvo delegates, and Mr. Orillllh, the
ward's candidate tor icclster of deeds.
put seventeen men on Ills ticket who are
identified with tho wiling men's club.
Tho Fifth wurtl wus entitled to forty
thrco delegates, und fifteen of them wero
club mombers. Thoro wore (en of 'em on
tho Sixth ward delegation ton out of
twonty-sovon, and in the Seventh it was
eight out of twenty-one. Thoro wore
215 delegates in tho convention front tho
seven wards comprising tho city of Lin
coln, and of these 215 dologates, just
73 of them wero. members of tho Young
Men's Republican club.
But tho recognition of young men did
not stop with moro membership in the
convention. The "kids" in tho conven

tbM, mure than half of the noealneas are

man hotter known, perhaps in tho coun

It wus a young men's convention, und
tho ticket is a young men's ticket. Tho
young men ought to bo entirely satisfied
with tho result.

Lancaster oxcited ho much Interest as
tho ono held this weok. Tuesday night
tho Capital hotel wus jammed full of
politicians from top to Ixittoin. Indeed,
it looked very much as though a stuto
convention was about to be opened up,
and tho convention itself was a stein
winder. And fow conventions in which so much
spirit wns manifested huvo been followed
by such gonorul good fooling as has beon
evidenced sinco Wednesday night. Tho
result givcH marked satisfaction on nil
sides. Tlio ticket is unquestionably a

Perhaps if tho AVir had heeded Tun
CouuiKit'h advice und not sought to ad
vance tho interests of Mr. Hoaglaud for
sheriff by maligning ull tho othor cuudi

had been different, Mr. Hoaglund might
have secured tho nomination. It is very
generally conceded on ull sides that Mr.
Hoaglund Ih u good man, that ho has
made an excellent deputy and would
lime made it good sheritf.
From present indications the outlook
for tho AVics' other specially prefened
candidate, Judge Samuel Maxwell, is
quite us dark and forbidding us tho
gloom that somewhat suddenly settled
down upon tho smaller Hoaglund boom.
But thon if a newspaper insists on pick
