This campaign has not been a brass

hot one nevertheless, and the vole here
will be without a doubt, the largest
One ever cast. The Republicans are
determined to get out every rots thai
it is possible to get and the Democrats
and Anti-Quays are also working hard,
The regular Republicans seem con-fident
that their ticket will win in the
county, but while the Democrats on
the surface si-em equally confident that
they will win. it does nnt take much
Investigation to show that they are
hard pushed. The party is not har-monious:

FOOT BALL
It Is said that Consholiockcn has of-fered
to piny the great P. R. R. Y. M.
C. A. n game fnr any amount of money
but they will not accept. We wonder
why?
The Norriatown Foot Ball team
WOUld like to get a game nn with the j
locals but will not talk foot hull with
tlie second team. It looks by this re-port
that the Norristown team Is get-ting
n little bit above their class when
they want to piny such a team as Con-sbohocken
nnd they had better take
warning and let such gridiron bulls
alone or It may be some time before
they would get over the effects of such
n game.
To-morror afternoon the great Rlv-erton
team will again make their ap-pearance
and endeavor as they have
In former years to lower the flag of
the yellow and black.
This game is exciting much inter-est
here and the enthusiasts are build-ing
upon seeing a good game. A great
deal of Interest will be attached to this
game on account of thegamewhlchthe
Jeraeymen pluymi with the Phoenix A.
A. of Phoenixvllle at the latter place
last Saturday and which resulted In 11
tie at 5—6. As the locals have no
prospects of securing a game witli the
Phoenix team this year an estimation
of what the Consholiockcn team would
do to 1 hem can then lie made. The lo-cals
would like to arrange a game with
the Phoenix team this year and show
them how far they have advanced in
the game but they want to have the.
first one played at their town and to
tin se conditions the Cnnshohocken
team will not knuckle down as they
can secure games with better teams
thnn their most bitter rivals of East-em
Pennsylvania, If they have open
dates. Hut however. Just 111 what clnss
Phoenix Is, can be seen to-morrow.
The Itiverton team Is calculated to he
stronger this year than It has aVW
been before and a royal game can be
looked for. The New Jersey team has
always been a welcome visitor to our
borough as they have always played
in .1 gentlemanly manner and have al-ways
been a great drawing card.
That the local team is not going to
take water from any team in the
State was clearly proven In,Tuesday's
Philadelphia Record in a statement In
which Manager Rambo made an an-swer
to the challenge of the manager
of the Irlshtown Tigers. The action
taken by Rsmbo has caused consider-able
comment In foot ball circles in
this borough and every Irndy Is up-holding
him In his undertaking. The
Irlshtown Tigers are cracked up tn lie
a great team but Rambo Is not In I he
least hit afraid of the result of the
game if they come up to his terms, lie
has laid the bare facts down to them
and should they accept them and beat
the locals they will earn their $200
and earn It In one of the toughest
games they ever participated. Hut
the followers of the Conshohocken
team would have no fear of them get-ting
beat They have showed what
calibre they are made of and when the
largest majority of the people of the
town have thought that it waa useless
to undertake to beat such teamsasthcy
have played this last two seasons they
hnve trounced them In a creditable
manner and the enthusiasts now have
eonfldenoeJn them which could not be
shaken even If they were to tackle
some of the big college teams.
