Senator Foraker VIII Not Campaign for
Hanna While Col Dick Runs ThIngs.
CLEVELAND, o., Oct. 3.-A sensation
has been caused in Ohio political cir
cles by the announcement that Sen
ator Foraker has Cancelled all his dates
for stumping the state. The senator
says that important engagements in
New York will force him to remain
there during the campaign. 1t is said
that Senator Foraker promised Judge
Nash that he would make few speeches
in Ohio. Now that Col. Dick, secretary
of the national committee, is in con-
troll at Columbus. the promise has been
withdrawn. Col Dick is an old en-
envy of Senator Foraker. 1t is under
stood that Mr.. Foraker will not return
to take an active part in the campaign
as long as Col. Dick shall be in charge
of it.
