The Chicago convention had Us "peacock alley" and its "peacock" very splendid birds of fashion who came to see and be seen. The Baltimore convention Is home spun, like, ho that smokes five cent cigars and stogies; that dines at the eat-whlle-you-walt restaurants; that wears shirt waists (meaning the feminine gender othat) Instead of panlers; that doesn't hesitate a second to take off Us coat when It's hot Tho Chicago convention was far away from tho life of the stock yards district, -which scarcely knew that tbero was a history making event on. In Baltimore tho convention is every body's show and after six o'clock, Tvhen supper Is over and tho dishes washed, Baltimore goes down town, bqby In tho go-cart, mother without her hat and father In shirt sleeves and vest. Every night Is carnival night In Baltlmoro during tho con 'ventlon. The democratic great are easier to ,lopk. upon than the republican. They don't glitter so, Senator Ollle James, of Kentucky, cats his breakfast at a lunch counter and Senator Stone's trousers need pressing. No such revolutionary thing as a delegate tak ing off his coat on tho convention floor happened at Chicago, but the Baltimore convention is full of shirt sleevo delegates.

Medford has a bonded indebtedness of $120,000 as agaiust Ashland's $97,000, has $18f000 in school buildings as against Ashland's $175,000, and has 117 school rooms as against Ashland's 49. But the feature that instantly attracts attention is Medford s warrant indebtedness of $I7,IWS, and cash on hand of $Sf)S. against no warrant idebteduess for Ashland and her cash balance of $13,2-11. Inasmuch as the new Medford school buildings like those of Ashland, are paid for out of the proceeds of bond issues, and the cost of operation in Medford is only a few thousand dollars a year more than in Ashland, an explana tion is in order from the Medford school board as to the cause of this warrant indebtedness, the why and where for. In common with other taxpayers, the Mail Tribune would like an official explanation. Its columns are open for it. DODGING THE RESPONSIBILITY. ATTORNEY E. D. Briggs. who in behalf of his Ashland clients has secured a temporary injunction against the construction of the Medford bridge, states in an interview in the Ashland Tidings: "It is not the intention of the plaintiffs in any manner, by Inference or othorwlse, to repudiate or Invalidate any pre-existing county warrants, but the defendant Perham, who has the contract for the brldgo, asks for any injunction restraining the paying out by the county treasurer of any money until he has been paid the contract price, J34.000, for the bridge. He sets up in his pleading that tho outstanding county warrants to the amount of over half a million dollars. Issued without authority, are illegal and constitute no liability against the county for that reason. If. during the course of these proceedings, the court should find, as claimed by the contractor, that all debts were Illegal, and the Injunction Is granted against the payment of any debts, it will not be because of action of the plaintiffs, but solely because the contractor asks for relief." Messrs. Bowers, Briggs, Carleton and Company are thus trying to shift the responsibility for the program of repudiation they have inaugurated, upon the contractor. Naturally the contractor is interested solely in securing money for his contract, money raised for the purpose which was on hand at the time the contract was let. In doing so, he has simply taken the allegations and admis sions made in Mr. Briggs' application for the injunction viz., that the existing county indebtedness is illegal. If as Messrs. Bowel's, Briggs, Carleton, etc., claim, the outstanding indebtedness is illegal and contrary to law, there is of course, no legal obligation for the redemption of the illegal debt. Having no legal indebtedness, the county can therefore devote the money on hand to con tracts now in process of completion, like the bridge. The contractor's position is a logical one, and to the layman, sound. He is forced in self-protection to accept the admissions of illegality and consequent repudiation made by the Ashland enjoiners, and upon their own showing, request enforcement of his legal claims in prefer ence to the claims outstanding which they assert illegal. If the outstanding indebtedness is held illegal, the warrants void, and the black flag of repudiation flies over Jackson county, it will be because it has been raised by the Ashland coterie and nono other. Full Details of the (By Grupevino Telegraph Direct from Convention Hull.) CHICAGO.- The rent Amoriean champion prize fijrlit was staged and fought out on schedule time. The rinic hud been erected with great care, in the midst of which lay an old rough-rider hut that looked like it hnd passed through a Texas cyclone. Joe Dixon and Billy Flinn were in Teddy's corner, Herbert Hud ley nnd Bill Borali were time keep ers, nnd Melfnrg and Henry were bottle holders for Teddy. George I'erkins stood outside the ring with u big roll of inoncv, ready to hot ten-to-one on Teddy. Billy McKinlcy and Billy Barnes were in Tuft's cor ner. Hurry New and Murray Crane were time-keener nnd Secretary Ilillfs and Jim Hemenway were bottle holders for Taft. There was immense cheering when the principals appeared. Both men seemed to be in fine fettle nnd trained to tho minute, Taft was heaviest hut was trained down (ill his muscles looked like great Knots. Teddy was chipper nnd walked around tho ring, aminiu.' the padding, nnd surveying the nudience, whoso cheers entwined him. Twice he essayed to make a speech, but his seconds told him he was there lo fight, not to talk. "Oh, well," said Teddy, "I'm n fighter from way back, nnd I'll knock that old duffer out tho first round."

Taft was wary and careful, with his guard well ip. Teddy was a two-to-ouo favorite in foot work, but his every effort to land wus neatly parried. Finally, Teddy rushed in, and in nn effort to land a body blow, Taft countered and landed u pile driver with his right, Mtiure on Teddy's jaw. Ho went down in a heap. Tho bell save tin count. First knock down for Tuft. There was tremendous excitement. "Foul!" yelled Teddy, and his seconds nnd hackers took up the cry. The referee said the blow was above the belt, and, according to tho rules, was fair. "D n the rules," said Teddy, "change 'em." Hound 2. Both men were in the middle of the ring ut tho call of tiiu Teddy's jaw was swollen, but still in working order. But ho (lid not seem to have tho confidence credited to him. Again he -pranced around his opponent seeking an opening. He dnnced around and worried his big adversary with jabs and uppurculs hut the punishment was more annoy ing than dangerous. Suddenly Tedh came square in front with ail effort to land u solar plexus, when the big one neatly parried tho blow, let go his loft and caught tho cow puncher full on tho jaw, and ngain he went down in a heap. Again the bell saved him. "That blow was foul," yelled Teddy. "That was not foul," yelled Hoot. "The rules permit a blow on tho jnw."
