The Trophy Presented.

MI. W ellington handed the emblem to
the winner. and il few compliment
airy words for the excellent work Thayer
had done be in turn praised Thomas
Foley for the interest be has inStilled
by resurrecting the most gracious
game OF al amusing sports in st. Paul.
and closed by remaTking that Mr.. Foley
Is entitled 10 the praises of many a
father OF Young men that he is giving
them innocent amusement, and keep
ing them away from the worse tempta-
tons in great city.
Mr.. Thayer VAS called for and he re-
Sponded briefly. He acknowledged that
during the evening friend had ap-
preached him with the caution that he
should be ready with little speech: but
he still looked upon the event somewhat
as surprise. He had replied to his
friend that he thought il best to first
win the emblem before he thought
about speeches. He had been impor-
tuned to make wagers. but he had
Sturdily refused all offers of tempting
odds. The Foley trophy was glory
enough TO satisfy him 1t was his first
appearance in a contest of any sort, and
he thought he should be pardoned if he
congratulated himself. He had worked
hard enough for his hOnors. anyhow.
You are right, Thayer, cried spec
tator.
Tom Foley was forced into making
little speech. He said he had never
been credited with being a success as
public speaker. but he had been accord
ed the honor OF being successful IN man-
aging billiard Journeys, and he felt
gratitied with this one honor. That the
tournament has been a pronounced
success he called upon those who had
participated in It or who had witnessed
the play.
This ended the evenings sport and
the tourney. and the history is shown in
the following

claimed one of his hackers. still con-
iident that his close nurse stroke would
send him TO the goal, but no one had the
temerity to say a word. and the play
proceeded. He counted in rapid sue
ceSSlon, and IL was run when he slipped
UP. Then Thayer knocked out 10 more,
and he was but 3 points short, with Will
mot Sc TO go. The next inning ended il,
and Thayer was crowned the victor.
AT this juncture Tom Foley appeared
IN the arena, bearing the emblem in a
handsome case, 4 cut of which was pub
llshed IN these columns Sunday morn
ing. Handing il TO Cyrus Wellington.
he introduced the latter as lover of
the gentieman'S game. and as leading
and admired member of the bar of Ram
sey county. Mr.. Wellington took the
trophy, and, turning TO Frank Thayer,
said in substance:
Mr.. Thayer: Your are the victor in this
series OF contests III this noble game, whien

result OF this game that it in one respect 1t

All Republicans in Line.

One of the most effective speeches
| for Harrison and Reid which mas been
| made thus far in the canvass Is that
| which has been recently delivered by
| ex-Gov. Foraker at reception TO Mr..
Reid in Butler County. o. FORAKER
was not one OF the original Harrison
men. He opposed Harrison's renomi-
nation, but is now pitching in all the
same to help elect him. The demo-
Gratis said he would sulk dnring the
canvass, but they were widely mis-
tax en- in the character of the man.
The Ex-Governor has his personal
preferences and prejudices In politics
like others, and fights to maintain
them while the fight is "on," but he
knows W hen he is.beaten, and accepts
defeat in the right spirit. He is re-
publican all the time, and always
works for the ticket whether he fav-
.ored iu or opposed it in the ecDVen-
ton. The rest of the conspicuous re
puDlicans who stood with him before
the nominations were made are with
him BOW. Messrs. Quay, Clsrkson,
and PIatt thought it would be better
to nominate somebody else this year
than to put Harrison up again, but
the msjorityof their fellow.republi-
cans thought differently, and they ae'
quie.ced in the choice. All OF them,
in one field of labor or another, are
working for the ticket. The task OF
"placation" has been completed, and
the party machinery all over the
country is in grand running order.
We believe there is now no break
in the republican line anywhere. All
the old party war horses are in har-
n less and are pulling vigorously and
tremendously. There Is no hitch in
the proceedings at any point. The
silver men, from whom some trou BILE
had been expected, are in the traces
again. Undoubtedly they see that
Harrison will do at least as much for
the white metal as Cleveland could or
would do. In Colorado, Nevada aud
the rest of the silver states the repub-
licans are sure OF victory. Ii there be
any cloud on the political horizon in
the West it is not big enough to be
discerned by any of the partisan tele-
scopes which are at hand. Platts
reconstruction helps the party inn
menseIy In New York, while Qusy's
reins tatement in good standing will
increase the ma ority in Pennsylvania
as Clarkson's will in Iowa and For
aker's will in Ohio. Some enthusiasm
in the canvass is beginning to be
manifested on the republican side.
This quality was conspicuously abb
sent heretofore this year, and it is
lacking on the democratic side still
From this time inward to election day
it will be reasonable to look for con-
siderable activity among the republi-
cans. The prospects for victory at
least as notable and important as
that of 1883 grow brighter as the
days pass. We hear of no kicking or
dependency among republicans any
where. There is q general feeling Of
confidence throughout the party all
over the country which means success
at the polls.

TO THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
An Appeal to the Scholars to Celebrate
Columbus Day.

An Appeal to the Scholars to Celebrate
Columbus Day.
A message has been issued by the ex.
ecutive committee of the Columbian
Public School Celebration organization
to the scholars of all the public schools
of America, urging them to agitate and
participate in the general celebration of
the twelfth of October, the four hun.
dredth anniversary of the discovery of
America, on which day the Columbian
exposition grounds at Chicago will be
dedicated. 1t is the purpose of this or
ganization to make the thing one grand
general celebration throughout the
land and measures are being adopted to
make the day a gala occasion among
the public schools of America. In ref
erence to the matter the message says:
"The public schools of the republic
will form the most fitting centers for all
these local celebrations. A national
public school observance simultaneous
with the Chicago exercises will awaken
n popular interest in the coming exposi-
ton. Far more important is the fact
that the public school has the right to
occupy the most prominent place in the
celebration. The public school is the
ouS ClldrdCGCTlSClc winch
links all neighborhoods together, and
can thus furnish common bond for a
national celebration. The public school
is the ripe fruit Of the four centuries of
American civilization. The public
school of to-day sways the hundred
years to come.
"a programme OF exercises will be
furnished by the executive committee.
1t will be simple and adapted to any
school, yet so arranged that more elab-
crate exercises may be added wherever
desired. The aim Of this official pro-
gramme will be that certain leading ex-
ercises may be the same in every school
in the republic; and that at least in one
feature the Chicago programme and the
school programme may be Identical,
"On October ~ the stars and stripes
should be floating from every school
house in the republic. It is the hope Of
the friends of common school education
that not one public school in the United
States will allow itself to be left out in
this most memorable celebration"
