Answer:
"I do intend to stand by the nomina

men and the Anti-Monopolists, and I
hope everybody will vote for me who
thinks that it is the best thing to do. I
will give the reasons for my action,

where I disagree with him I may do

We have been requested to call the
attention of the authorities to the fact
that there are a good many dead

some notes about the Hotel Bruns

hands of a hotelist in Charlotte. In
this there is some mistake. We yes

Curtis and were told there is no foun 1
ation for the rumor. Both gentlemen
are at a loss to know how it could have
originated.
There are a number of notable im

purchased the property in front of the
hotel extending all the way to the wa

The Base Ball Contest.
There was a large throng of people
from this city who went to Wrights
ville yesterday to witness the match
game of base ball between the Mechan
ics, of Columbia, S. C , and the Sea
side Park Club of this city. The game
was played oa the grounds of the lat
ter club and was caUed promptly at
4 o'clock yesterday atternoon. Mr.
Frank Ray, of Columbia, was selected
as empire, a position which he filled
with entire satisfaction to all concern
ed. Messrs. J. IT. Bacon and Jame3
McDougall were the scorers. The Me
chanics Nine are young men of fine
physigne and averaged considerably
larger and heavier than the Seasides, yet
the latter exhibited more suppleness
and activity, which compensated in
a measure for their lack of munscular
power. It was soon apparent that the
clubs were very evenly matched and that
the game was to bo . played on both
sides for all it was worth. Both
nines exhibited superb skill in
batting, and both did some ex
cellent fielding. This was evidenced
by the score, which may be found be
low. That three innings were played
without a score for either nine fs suf
ficient proof that the game was hotly
contested. On the fourth inning the
Mechanics scored two, and the fifth
inning tho Seasides succeeded in scor
ing the same number. After that noth
ing was gained by either side until the
ninth, and last, inning, when the Me
chanics scored one and the Seasides
scored nothing, thus giving the game
to the former by a tight squeez j. It
was a hard fought battle and a faith
fully earned victory. The best of feel
ing prevailed throughout, and the Me
chanics left for homo on the last night's
train, much pleased with their visit.
It is the intention of the Seasides to
challenge them to another trial, but the
time when has not been deflnitely de
termined upon. -

The Governor at Smith ville.
Editor of the Review :-t-I was one
of the company that dined jwith Gov.
Jarvis at the Hotel Brunswick oh Tues
day, and think that the very; exception
al good dinner provided on this oc
casion entitles the proprietor to f notice.
There were at the table centiempn who
are old city livers and f requenters ol
the finest restaurants and it fas the
universal opinion that the dinner was
a real surprise, not only in the liaterial
served, but in the manner of tbje ser
vice. It is not extravagant tcksaiy that,
barring some incidental advantages
which can only be found in a; large city,
the dinner would have been! creditable
even on Delmonico's table. ' j
Anybody who wants a first-class,
well served dinner, apd is willing to
pay one half what he would be 'willing
to pay in New York can be accommo
dated here at any time, as ; the pro
prietor informs me j
Seeing no notice of the dinner to the
Governor's party here, in the Wil
mington papers and knowing that it
was the feature of the Governor's trip
I thought I would write this as eminent
ly due to a very clever landlord!
