out a lengthy statement, which deals prln-
ciimiiy wiin ma recent meeting 01 mat
body In New York nnd Is supposed to op
resent the views of tlio Pittsburg, Chicago,
Urooklyn nnd Philadelphia clubs on tho
present disagreement over tho election of
u president. Ho charges Messrs. Sodtn
anil-HllllnKH of the KoMon tenm with hav
ing broken thsir pledges to support A. G.
Spalding for the presidency nnd says that
tho excuse of Conant of Honton that he did
.not want to see Spalding forced over
I'Teeoman s ncad is "most inme and Im
potent."
continuing, woionoi ltogcrs says:
"Having resolved ..that the laws of tho
entire league must be enforced by ono
thoroughly conversant with tho gnme ns a
sport and, subordinutcly, as u business
man, and believing that no man possesses
In so marked n degree thoso qualifications
ns does A. G. Hpnldlng, they will nail his
candidacy to their masthead and proceed
to the twenty-seventh, and If necessary to
tho twenty-seven hundredth, ballot to ac
complish his election."
Colonel Rogers then makes a plea for
harmony, concluding as follows: "Tho
oiivo nrnncn mat was neid out nt tho
meetlnit to the New York. Ht. I.oiiIh and
Cincinnati clubs for Boston Is with us Is
still extended to them. In all sincerity wo
ask them to accept It In the spirit in which
it is temiereu, nnu uutsmucn as tney nnvo
no genulnd candidate, to come to1 tho front
and cheerfully ratify tho election of A. G.
Spnldlng as president of tho old National
league nnd give to his administration full,
loyal and faithful support, strengthening
his powers where needed, unhampered by
boards of control or other nonsensical
hnndloaps.
"I hnvo reason to know that It Is thn
bnso ball policies or politics of Messrs.
Hrush, Robinson ond Freodmnn against
which Mr, Bpaldlng has directed war. It Is
what Is publicly Known ns 'iirusnism' and
Freedmnnlsm,' and not tho personalities of
Messrs. Urush nnd Frcednian. Hint lie hnsi

equivocally endorsed . nis declaration of

BAD BLOOD,
BAD COMPLEXION.
The skin is the scat of an almost end.
le. variety of diseases. They arc known
by various names, but arc all due to the
same cause, acid and other poisons in
the blood that irritate nnd interfere with
the proper action of the skin.
To have a smooth, soft skin, free from
all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure
nnd healthy. The many preparations of
aMenic and potash and the large number
of face powders and lotions generally
used in this class of diseases cover up
for a short time, but cannot remove per
manently the ugly blotches and the red,
disfiguring pimples. "
