A Hot Game Between Fort Worth and

Ninth Inning.

of ball at the park without Dennis.
The victory of the Dallas club yesterday
makes Houston and Dallas a tie for first
place. Eacn have played nine games,
winning six and losing three.
Galveston has numerous applications
from first-class players and the manage-
ment has about concluded to adopt a new
plan and secure a first-class club.
Houston has also inaugurated a “La-
dies’ Day.” This is the only way in
which the week-day patronage of the
games can be made tc average up.
Austin and Houston meet at Houston.
This is the first time these two excellent
clubs have crossed bats, and as they are
both away up on the league score the
contest will be watched with interest.
That was a red-hot game*yesterday be-
tween Fort Worth and Dallas at Fort
Worth. At the end of the ninth inning
the score stood 1 to 1. A tenth inning
was played, m which Dallas got one
run. The ten innings were played in
one hour and forty-four minutes.
Following is the status of the League
in favor of the county executive commit-
tee and that every movement of Mayer
and Crawford, from the appointment of
Crawford on January 31 to the calling of
the convention for to-night, is illegal and
irregular and should be repudiated by all
consistent Democrats. The letter reads:
Dallas, Tex., April 18, 1888. — Hon,
John A McCormick, Member Democratic
Executive Committee, Galveston,Texas-
Dear Sir: Reierring to your letter of the
16th instant, it would be impossible for
me to decide in the matter in question,
without having the evidence in full,from
both sides, before me.
If your statement to the eSect that after
the resignation of Mr. Shaw the Demo-
cratic executive committee of the county
elected Captain McDonald, and that the
election received the approval of the
member of the state committee from that
district at that time, and has since that
time acted as chairman for the committee,
I would agree with you that there was no
vacancy and therefore no room for an
appointment.
Wherever it is possible, I very much
prefer that the various county chairmen
should be elected in conventions assem-
bled, rather than that they be appointed.
I very much regret that there should be
any misunderstanding between the Dem-
ocrats of your county, and sincerely hope
that you will be enabled to heal the breach
and go into the coming campaign with-
out any local dissensions.
The chairman evidently would not have
the ri^ht to call a convention, if a major-
ity of the committee were opposed to it.
He is the exponent of the wishes of the
committee. At certain times, when it is
inconvenient to get an expression from
the committee, certain discretionary
power rests with the chairman, but when
the question of convention or no conven-
tion has been voted upon by the commit-
tee, their decision should determine the
matter, but as I before said, I am not
willing to give an official decision in the
trouble that has unfortunately arisen be-
tween Mr. Mayer and yourselves, and I
think that it would be very much better
for you to try and effect a compromise,
and if the case is as you represent it, I
have no doubt that Mr. Mayer would
withdraw the appointment of Mr. Craw-
ford, and in that way end the trouble.
Your obedient servant,
Henry Ex all.
Mr, Mayer Has No Authority or Occasion for
the Appointment of a New Chairman of
the County Executive Committee—
If Mr. Crawford’s Appointment
was Legal His Call for,a
Convention was Wrong.

RUN TN AT LAST.
A bad little darkey, as black as a box
of Mason’s blacking, was run in by the
police and arraigned before the recorder’s
court this morning on various charges.
His name is Frank Shaffer. Among the
charges was one for “crap” shooting;
this secured for him $5 or five days; three
charges for burglary and one for theft
from person. He was examined on the
theft and one burglary case, Judge
Spann binding him over in $200 bond in
each case.
Frank is a slick one. The police have
had warrants for him since some time in
February, but he has always managed to
elude arrest.
Among those who are complaining
against Frank is Mr. Boysin; also Mary
Jane Perkins, who resides at Fifteenth
and Broadway, and from whom Frank
stole a cloak, breast-pin and some other
articles. Officer Cahill succeeded in re-
covering this stolen property.
Frank stands a very fair chance for do-
ing the state some service.
There is a serious split in the Demo- 1
cratic party in this county and there is <
ground for the belief that this split '
0 .
was designed by the Mayer faction, ]
and that there is a purpose or scheme be- (
hind the strange proceeding. I
There is no longer any room for dis
agreement unless it is the purpose of the ,
opposition to disagree anyhow.
Following are letters which explain ]
themselves. There is no room for talk. ‘
The statement and facts set forth by Mr.
McCormick are true, as is attested by the ;
names of the members of the county exe- <
cutive committee, attached to the reso- 1
lution approving and endorsing the (
statement and facts set forth in
Mr. McCormick’s letter. There is no 1
other side to the question—unless it be j
Mr. Pascoe’s minority report. There are ’
ten members of the county executive ;
commietee who affirm the correctness of
the statement and facts as set fourth by i
Mr. McCormick. Is there any other
side to the question? These men were
present when Mr. McDonald was elected
chairman; they were present when his
election was approved by the then member
of the State executive committee; Capt.
McDonald has acted as chairman ever
since. There is the whole thing in a nut-
shell.
Mr. Exall writes a conservative letter,
but it covers the points.
Now, with this statement of facts and
Mr. Exall’s letter before them, how many
members of the irregular convention who
are willing to stop—vote to adjourn with-
out action and without date? There are
some good men among the delegates named
to take part in the irregular proceedings
at Turner hall to night. Will they al-
low themselves to be made tools of by
the designing men who have inaugurated
this irregular business as the only hope
of political favor for a political scheme?
The convention called for to-night is
irregular for two reasons, but one reason
is sufficient. Admitting that Mr. Craw-
ford is chairman of the county executive
committee, his call for a nominating con
vention is irregular because, in
the language of Chairman Exall,
“the chairman would not have the right
to call a convention, if a majority of the
committee were opposed to it.”
A majority of the county executive
committee was opposed to the calling of
a convention for the nomination of floater.
The convention to assemble to-night is
irregular and it remains to be seen how
many and who will lend themselves to the
Mayer-Crawford irregular proceedings.
Following is Mr. McCormick’s letter to
Mr. Exall:
Galveston, Texas, April 16^1888.—
Hon. Henry Exall, Chairman 8. D. E. C.,
Dallas, Texas —Dear Sir: Your ap-
pointee, Mr. H. C. Mayer, as the rep-
resentative from the Tenth senatorial
district on your state committee has suc-
ceeded in causing some difference of
opinion as to who is the proper chairman
of the Galveston county executive com-
mittee. The circumstances are as follows:
Mr. W. A. Shaw was duly elected by the
county convention as chairman in 1886,
and in April, 1887 resigned during a
session of the committee, at which Mr.
Pat Hennessy, the duly elected member
of the Tenth senatorial district, was
present. The committee elected Captain
James McDonald, vice Shaw, as chair-
man pro tern, at the same meeting. Mr.
Hennessy responded at once, stating
he approved of the selection of Captain
McDonald as the chairman. The appro-
val by Mr. Hennessy has been construed
by the committee to be his confirmation
and appointment. The committee recog-
nizes no other chairman.
OThe committee was informed by Mr. |
Mayer about the 4th of this month that
he had removed Captain McDonald and
appointed on the 31st of January, 1888,
Mr. E. E. Crawford as its chairman. The
committee deny his authority to do so,
for there has been, no vacancy since bis
, appointment, vice Mr. Hennessy. They
‘ hold he has no authority, either dele-
. gated or implied, to remove, and, in ad-
’ dition, that all deliberative bodies are the
judges of their members; and further,
' while Mr. Mayer is a member of your
, committee, the county chairman is in the
5 same attitude to the chairman of the
j congressional district; hence the chair-
, man of the congressional district should
be consulted. Then again, has the chair-
man of any committee the right to call
conventions in opposition to the decision
not to do so of the committee? In other
r words, has the county chairman the
1 right to do as he pleases regardless of the
1 express will of the committee? Your
3 official decision on each point mentioned
7 will doubtless assist in bringing harmonv
1 out of chaos. Respectfully,
) Jno. A. McCormick.
The following resolution endorsing
, and affirming Mr. McCormick’s letter was
r passed and signed by ten members of the
r» county executive committee:
f Resolved, that the communication of
■ Mr. J. A. McCormick, member of this
. committee to Hon. H. Exall, chairman of
the State Democratic executive committee

A DUE HONOR.
The teachers of the public school on
last evening unanimously adopted the
following resolutions presented by Prof.
Sellers:
Resolved, 1. That as teachers of the
public schools we desire to thank Mr.
Rosenberg for his generous gift to the
cause in which we are most deeply in-
terested.
2. That we hope he may be spared
many years to see the good he has done,
feeling sure that this investment to im-
prove the heads and hearts of the youth
of Galveston will pay larger dividends of
joy and happiness than could be gotten
from many times the same amount of
money otherwise invested.
3. That we are thankful that in our
efforts to build up character and to
counteract, the sordid tendencies of the
age by implanting ideas of unselfishness
and of regard for the welfare of others,
we are not forced to search the histories
of other times and distant climes to find
examples worthy of imitation, but that
we live in a community that can point
with pride to a George Ball, a John 8ealy,
a Henry Rosenberg.
