Some industrious gamblers are engaged
nightly at an establishment on the corner Oh
Broadway and Twenty-eighth street in selling
nools ON the election. There was an excited
crowd of betters present last evening. "The
frat choice on the State ticket is hundred
dollars shouted a man in green spectacles
who was mounted on table. "Who will bid
for it ~ There was a dozen responses. Inc
first bidder who caught the auctioneer's eye
was allowed to name his man. he selecteo
the Democratic candidate; ~ HOY onhMaoD maSn lS
canddate) cried the auctioneer. Somebody
in the corner said ''sixty dollars" The bids
were run up rapidly, and the bet was knocked
down at ninety-fve dollars. A large number
of Seols were sold in the like manner, the pro-
portion of betting between the candidates
being the same. Pools were also sold on the
most closely contested local contests, those for
registrar and senator in the Seventh Dlstrlct
attracting the most business.
This is the most approved method OF betting
on elections in these later days. 1t was Dor
rowed from the racing-track, where IL ls rec
ognized as official. The winner taxes tne
contents of the pool after tne auctionesf zee Ias hs
extracted certain percentage ior MS
The strong-minded women have resolved to
assault the polls on Tuesday, and have taken
Itne preliminary precaution to get themselves
registered. Mrs. Victoria c. woodruff, tne
candidate of Demosthenes for the Presl9ency'
and her handsome sister, Mrs. Tennie q. Clai-
lin. succeeded in finding board OF reglstra-
ton officers willing to take their names. a
Mrs. Mary Leland writes 10 the morning
papers that she appeared before the registrars
of the Nineteenth District oil the Sixteentn
Ward, and, making known her demand, was re-
eved with great courtesy inc 0flaS pro- "
the United States, and being unable to ind any
clause prohibiting the registry OF the names OF
females, they accepted that Of Mrs. Leland;
She testiHes that the members OF the board
were az polite and gentlemanly as tnose sne
is accustomed to meet In her parlor, ana
though she had been assured that tnat "oo-
stacle in the shape OF vulgarity would deter
women from approaching The polls" she was
glad to find ''that the same respect SHOWN 10
women by men at the church, the theatre, the
railway trAin or eUer the street cars, Is exteno,
ed to them In the halls OF registratlon, ana
abe concludes triumphantly: II firmly believe
the men will welcome her OF the polls" Mrs:
the ballot-box inspectors on Tuesday next,
aud<and to her sorrow again that alter all man
is really brute. Mrs. Victoria woodruff
Demosthenes intends to take her grievance 10
the courts after her vote is rejected. she pro-
poses to have an opinion from New YORK
fudge on the constitutionality OF woman SUI
trage.
For the multitude Of offices to be filed at this
election many persons of more than doubtful
reDutation are running. Some suspected
thieves and others who have gone through the
ordeals of the courts and prisons are among
them 1t Is even charged against the plous
gentleman whose name heads the Republican
State ticket, that he rents ms oroWn-ssone nnsaH
mansions in the city for improper purposes.
One of ths Reform candidates Tor Assembly
was arrested Yesterday on the charge OF Tor
oery and taken to the Tombs. He had been
irving to raise the wind by mortgaging his
4randfather's property-writiDg tne ola gen.
tleman's name himself where 1t was necessary
to give the appearance OF validity 70 tne oocu-
ments. he explains In card this morning
that the trouble all arose from 'misunaer-
standing on the part OF my grandfather as to
the legal effect of power of attorney" You
observe how unsophisticated venerable grand
fathers with real estate can be hereabouts.,
The non-arrival OF the Grand Duke has
rather dulled the public interest IN MIN. Inc
frst-class citizens who have been tumbiing
about on the waves of Sandy HOOK, and
stretching their eager necksin vain attempts
to Gescry the coming feet. are seid to be SICK
at heart and stomach with hope deferred. Tne
princes papa has ceased to send anxious tele.
grams inquiring If that frigate has arrived
Yet, and 1t is presumed that he has abandoned
State law which forbids the calling out OF the
militia, except In case Of riot, for nVe days
preceding an election, the committee Of first
class citizens have been obliged to Issue
notification that If his Hghness arrives be-
tween this and Tuesday no public reception
will take place. 1t has been arranged 70 lano
him inc01Rito and whisk him of to Washing
ton to be presented to the President. Then
he p to be brought back here and concealed
in the BrevoorL House, the public being sup
posed to know nothing OF his presence IN the
metropolis until the military reception can
take place. What other ridiculous things the
arst-class worshippers ofroyalty may be guilty
of, the future must uDpleasantly reveal.
The great Industrial Fair at the Rink, Whlcn
has been open for the past six weeks, closes
Tonight. That enormous building, the largest
In New York. and probably in America, has
been 80 filed with the products OF the In
genuity and industry of American citizens,
that even the crowds Of visitors which nave
entered there have found difficulty In getting
space enough to inspect the articles. The fair
this year has been the most successful OF the
series of forty held since the American lnsti-
tute was incorporated. Horace Greeley is the
head of the institution. At the opening this
year. perhaps you will remember. Walt. Whit
man lifted up his voice and uttered another OF
his barbaric yawps. The exhibition Is to be
closed this evening with yawp from another
barbarian, Senator Morton, OF Indiana, the
champion Radical fabricator Of the United
States. This man ought to be social outlaw.
The depth of his mendacity cannot be fathom-
ed. If he falsifes at the Rink tonight upon
american Progress as he does on the stump
ABOUT the South and the Democratic party. he
with be hissed of the stage. NYM.
