QUIET WEEK Ar CANTON.


Mr.. McRInIey's Letter OF Acceptance
sherman aud Foraker Preparing Great
Observation-Disclosures the II tmOunt Is
sues of the Campalgn-The Ohio Cam
pAign.
CANTON, o., Aug. 10.-This week viii
be one of the quiet ones of the cam
paiRn in Canton. One or two delega-
tions are expected, and Mai McKin-
ley may make two or three short
speeches, but he hopes to give great
deal of time in the next ten days to
his letter of acceptance. 1t 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 copy of it to Maj. Me-
Kinley a week or so before il is given
to the public.
Maj. McKinley'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 inn
press upon him that 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 be,
Maj Mckinley is amply prepared to
discass 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 adj
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-
tiCn to the United States senate.
Senator Sherman says he is preparing
his speech with great care, and it is his
wish to have it the most effective ex-
position of the financial question he
has ever made. The prominence of
finance in the politics of the day
leads Senator Sherman to believe
what politicians rather vaguely term
the logic of the situation" points to
the election of Senator Sherman as his
own successor. In 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-
tion at St. Louis, and there is always
vast deal of interest both to see and
to hear him. He has prepared his
speech thoroughly and it, with Sem
tor Sherman's, and Maj McKinley's
letter of acceptance will show very
clearly upon what lines the repub bli
can campaign is to be conducted and
what arguments are to be urged cpOn
the people.

A BAD GANG OF swINDLERs
Believed to Have Been Broken Up by the
Arrest of the Principals.

Believed to Have Been Broken Up by the
Arrest of the Principals.
CHICAGO, Aug. 9.-One of the worst
com binations of swindlers that has
ever preyed on the American public
and whose operations have extended
over many years and involved many
states, has, it is confidently believed,
been broken up by the arrest of James
Mcclure. William Thomas and j. /.
Tallman last night on the charge of
using the United States mails for
fraudulent purposes. Their New
York confederates are William Nc
Clure and DR.. John Craig.
For years these men have conducted
fraudulent schemes of various kinds.
under different firm names, seldom
remaining long in any one locality,
and have filched, it is believed, fully
$3.50, 600 from their dupes.
The earlier operations of the gang
were in connection with a fake lot
terry scheme of Kansas City, Mo-, and
later in pretended connection with the
Louisiana lottery, in which enter
prises they reaped rich harvests.
Lately they have been engaged in so~
called bucket shop" business in this
city, using various aliases, among
them being Patterson -& CO., "Craig"
and Thomas & Co.." and have also
engaged in the sale of bogus mining
stocks to large extent.
The three men arrested here were
taken before United States Commits
sioner Humphrey and bound over for
trial

awkward as a short-handled dog at y
log walkin.
In durin of the dance that night the
other boys in the gang put in and
worked on Buck till they got him in
the notion to fall in with the general
foot shalxin. Buck lowed he would
dance if Miss Oracle Winters would be
his partner, and Miss Oracle she was
willin. So the music went on and the
proceedins proceeded. Buck Jenkins
soon got limbered out and was warm
in up to his work in fine shape. But he
had a pair of heavy red leather shoes
on, and when he got into "a weavin
way" as the boys called it, hanged il
he didn't look like he would shake down
the house. BY and by in cuttin somo
fancy fgger with high stroke Buck
got his big feet and them loud
red leather shoes all tangled up
there together and down he went in
one fell pile as it were. He fell face
foremost and then laid there like no
was dead. The crowd broke out in IL
big laugh at first, but when Buck didn't
move everybody got slleered for fears
he was killed. The boys called him,
but he didn't come. Then presently
they tried to turn him over and he
wouldn't turn. But by this time every
body could see that he was still breath
in the breath of life.
"Are you killed, Buck?" says one OF
the boys.
''No, amt killed. says Buck, as he
hugged the floor and hid his face.
"Are you bad hurt, Buck 2" they went
on.
No" says Buck, 81 aint hurt a blame
bit, but shamed to death, oh, Lordi"

Ths IrIsh Land BIN.

LONDON, Aug. "a statement signed
by the duke of Abercorn, the marquis
of Londonderry, Col. Edward J. Saun-
derson, ". p, and other tory opponents
of the Irish land bill, has been issued.
1t repudiates the idea that the amend
ments made to the bill by the house
of lords are calculated to destroy the
character of the bill and to wreck it,
unless the house of commons rejects
the amendments with the consent of
the upper house. The statement deals
seriatem with the liberal claims that
they improve an ill-drawn and ill-ar-
ranged measure.
