Sauer was another Jerseyman that
tried conclusions with New York cracks
last night in the individual tournament
in New York, and he rolled a star game
throughout, and was only prevented from
capturing a double seres by poor luck in
his fifth game with Shiman. Sauer did
some high rolling and reached the best
record of the night. The matches be-
gan by Shiman's winning the first game
easily. Sauer had just as great a pic
mic in the second, but Shiman's three
strikes on the last frame Of the third
game gave him THE advantage. Sauel
struck a high notch in the fourth, max
ing it two each, but the Golden Rod
bowler had no trouble In getting the
deciding match by 50 pins. Sauer met
Fries in the second series and started
in the lead and won out by II pins in
the first. but was beaten one pin in
the second game. Sauer won the third,
burt was beaten by a low score in the
fourth. The rubber went to Sauer by

QUIET WEEK AT cANToNJ

| Mr.. McKinley's Letter of Acceptance
Sherman and Foraker Preparing Great
speeches,-Outiining the L..
sues of the Campaign-The Ohio Cam
paign.
CANTON, O., Aug. 10.-This week will
be one of the quiet ones of the cam
paign in Canton. One or two delega-
tions are expected, and Maj. McKin-
ley may make two or three short
speeches, but he hopes to give a great
deal of time in the next ten days to
his letter of acceptance. It is likely
it will be finished by the end of the
third week in August. but he does not
expect to publish it before the first OF
September. Mr.. Hobart will COM
mence work on his letter very soon,
and if the usual custom be followed,
he will send Il copy of it to Maj. Nc
Kinley n week or SO before it is given
to the public.
Mai. McKiniey's letter will be his
longest and most formal utterance-
during the campaign, and he will en-
ter upon a careful consideration of the
two great issues-protection and sound
money. These two issues are almost
equal in Importance, in the opinion OF
Maj. Mckinley, as indicated in his
speeches. Scores of his friends, how
ever, will come here from various
parts OF the country to seek to i'm
press upon him hat popular interest
in the money question is declining,
and by the middle of September the
tariff will be the issue OF paramount
Importance. However this may ber
Maj. Mckinley is amply prepared TO
discuss both issues, and in his letter OF
acceptance he will not overlook either
of them.
The Ohio campaign will be opened
on Saturday next at Columbus. The
event will be of more than ordinary
Importance. The meeting will be ad-
dressed by Senator John Sherman and
Senator-Elect j. b. Foraker. Senator
Sherman's speech on Saturday will be
looked upon very generally as the
first step in his campaign for re-elec-
ton to the United States senate.
Senator Sherman say he is preparing
his speech with great al e,and it is his
wish to have it the most effective ex-
pOSlIlOA VI III IuS'h
has ever made. The prominence of
finance in the politics of the day
leads Senator Sherman to believe
what polite ls rather vaguely term
the logic of the situation" points to
the election of Senator Sherman as his
own successor. In a state which has so
ambitious and able men as Ohio, there
are sure to be several candidates for
the place, and Mr.. Sherman will, no
doubt, find some opposition when the
legislature meets to chose his success
sor. The name of Mark Hanna is fire.
The Columbus meeting will call
forth Mr.. FOraker's first political ut
terance since the week of the conven-
ton at st. Louis, and there is always
a vast deal of interest both to see and
to hear him. He has prepared his
speech thoroughly and it, with Sen
tor Sherman's, and Maj. McKinley's-
letter of acceptance will show very
clearly upon what lines the republic
can campaign is to be conducted and
what arguments are to be urged upon
the people.

partisan differences, and rally to the support
of our gallant comrade, Maj. Mckinley.
