Lively Pool Ma1eh.

Last evening a very exciting game of
pool was played for a wager at Duffy's
pool room, between John Mcmahon and
George yenner, which had been talked of
for some time, consequently a very large
crowd was present. They were unusually
well matched, and those who bet on them
had a good run for their money. The
game consisted Of 100 points. The men
made the best of every chance and they
pecketed the balls WITH surprising skill
at times. First one and then the other
would lead in the scoring. AT one half the
distance Mcmahon was five balls behind.
At s~eventy-fve this lead of Venner's had
been increased to eleven. He missed on a
close shot. however. leaving the balls in
lead down to three. This was finally swept
away altogether, and Mcmahon won by
one ball. Score:-McMahon, 100; Venner.
SO.
Another match under the same condi-
tons has been made.

AT the railway station, in Canton, on

to take the train for Cleveland, an as
semblage of workingmen called for a
speech. In response Mr.. Mckinley re-
ferred to the object of his visit to Alli-
ance, and said:
All of us are interested in the well
fare of our country, because in the well
fare of our country is involved the indi-
vidual welfare of every citizen. If our
great country is prosperous, then the peo-
pie are prosperous. What we all want
no matter to what political organiza ton
we may have belonged in the past-is n
return to the good times of years ago.
and when we have them we want them
to be paid in good money. [Applause
and cries of "You are right."] Whether
our prices be high or whether they be
low, whether our wages be good or
whether they be bad, they are all the
better by being paid in dollars worth 100
cents each. Tremendous cheering.l If
we have good wages they are better by
being paid in gold dollars. If we have
poor wages, they are made poorer by be-
being paid in gold dollars. If we have
low citizens, what we want more than
anything else is to keep our money equal
to that of the most enlightened nations
of the earth and maintain the credit and
honor of the government of the United
States. lGreat applause.l We are the
greatest country in the world-greatest
in our freedom, greatest in our possibli-
we are too great to taint our countrys
honor or to cast suspicion upon the credit
or obligations of our government. Jap
