HaRyARD TRACK GAMES.

BOSTON, Nov. 2.-The annual Har-
ward varsity fall handicap track games
were held this afternoon on Holmes
field. The weather conditions were not
of the best, and the track was pretty
heavy. No specially good records were
made. except in the 100 yards high hur-
die. which was won by G. G.. Hubbard,
1900 who beat out z. H Clark by a
ward. Hubbard also won the go yards
hurdle race handicap
The half-mile run was close race
between T. C. Ledyard. 60 yards, and
e. D. Fullerton, 80 yards, the former
winning by q yard.
In the mile run G.. G. Grand, who had
previouly run in he half mile, was not
UP to his usual form and failed 10
overhaul his field. Patterson, the big
Cornwall hammer-thrower, won place
in the hammer throw. He is in the
first year at the law school, and though
not eligible TO compete for Harvard this
wear, will be a valuable accession to
Harvard's track and field team.

Saturday. cables to that paper as fol-
lows:
''Mr. c. NJ Depew and I visited Mr..
Mckinley at Canton on Friday and
found him buoyant. His confidence
and elation were evident during the
whole visit and he talked freely. We
both brought away the same impress
sion, that if any Republican depression
existed, it was not in Canton, and,
least of all, in Mr.. Mckinley himself"
Mr.. Smalley pays an enthusiastic
tribute to Mr.. Depew's speeches, and
dwells on the cordiality of his recep

In a cable dispatch sent from CO.

thing like it.

ATTEMPTED FRAUD.
THE Republican party attempted
fraud upon the American people in its
financial plank. Under the hope of in
ternational bimetallism, it started out
to fasten the gold standard upon the
American people. 1t has been aided in
this work by few former Democrats,
who have been advocating the gold
standard, but in order to keep up the
fraud they have pretended to favor
Palmer and Buckner when they have
worked for the Republican ticket. CAP

the campaign has been conducted. The
Republicans have not dared to advo-
cate the gold standard as a good
thing, because their platform pledges
the Republican party to get rid of 1t

as they are not able to openly advocate
the gold standard, they help the
boiling Democrats who can preach
what the Republicans do not dare to
preach, and they answer Siy same pur-
pose. Great applause and cheers.)
