BOGUS BET QUOTATIONS.

We have the following in private
letter from New York: You will no.
tice IN the press di>patche reports OF
tie standing of Tilden in the pools on
New York. These reports are true in
sofar as they relate what has been
done in the pool boards; but il is we'll
known here in the city that these are
all shams. The T'ilden Election Blu
reau furnish the betters and the money
for both sides; and what is done is
done mainly by Democratic stool
pigeons. The Republicans of this city
who are 'on the bet are not only bet
ting even on Hayes and Wheeler beat
ing Tilden and Hendricks in this State,
but they are freely Offering odds on
the election of Hayes. There is no
shrewd betting man who thinks of Of
fering bona fiie odds on Iilden.'
This accounts for one phase of the
cam paign and exposes very weak
invention of Little Sammy Iilden.

SENATOR NORTON AND THE
CHINESE.

l, is hard to please everybody: and
there are people hereabous who are un-
reasonable enough to express dissatis-
faction with Senator MOrton's recent
speech because he made no allusion
therein to the Chinese question. We
can conceive Of nothing in worse taste
than for Senator Morton, who is MEM
her Of . Commission who have but just
begun the investigation Of this question.
20 make q public expression OF opinion
regarding that question in advance OF
the official report Of the said Commits
zion. It would DO like . Judge ped
ding his decisions from the stump. or
like juror proclaimiDG his verdict in
advance, for Morton or Cooper or any
other member Of the Chinese Commits
sion to declare himself upon this ques-
ton while the same il undergoing in
vestigation at their hands.

a WEIGHED ATTEMPT TO IN.
JURE WREN IN OHNSBl
COUNTY.

An attempt is on foot to injure Hon.
Tom Wren in the estimation OF the
voters of Ormsby county by parading
what he said at Reno in explanation OF
his vote upon the State Prison Bill OF
the last Legislature. As well denounce
Republican who should use his influence
and cast his vote in favor Of holding
State Convention in some other city
than this. If Wren had lived in this
county and cast his vote against our in
teres.s there wonld be some sense and
justice in attacking him; but it won't do
to oppose q Republican candidate for
member Of Congress upon the ground Of
any vote he may have cas-. in the LeGis-
lature while in the honest discharge OF
his duties. We think that every man
who voted for the said appropriation
made q mistake, but he did nothing
thereby to disentitle him to The full and
hearty support Of his party.

merely offensive and not injurious, but
~ith whom forbearance has ceased to be
virtue so far as be is concerned. Mr..
Boardman, the Republican candidate
for the Senate; Mr.. Shoemaker, one OF
the Republican candidates for the As
sembly there, and other Republicans
of influence also demanded of the Com
mittee that Powning should be forced to
resign the trust he was so shameiessly
betrayipg. The air is full Of complaints
and charges. He lad done nothing to
facilitate Republican meetings or accom-
moda.e Republican speakers; and his
imbecility was only equaled by his du-
plici,y and lack Of fair dealing. We
congratulate the Republicans of Washoe
County upon being we'll rid of County
Committee Chairman whose impudence
is only equaled by his avarice. and
whose offensive displays of very low
standard and character Of cunning are
only excelled by the shallowness of the
devices by which he seeks to crafty the

TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS Q.
HAYES AND WHEELER.

One day this last week Mr.. }. W.
Brown of the old Board of Brokers,
San Francisco, stood up in the Board
and offered to bet $4,000 or any part
of it that Hayes and Wheeler would
be elected. There are many Demo-
Gratis in the Board who are keen for
taking the chances-AIark Mcdonald
among the rest--and not one of them
dared 10 take the bet. This is a
mighty solid " straw" It shows not
only which way the bets go and which
way the moneyed men believe the
election is going to turn, but it shows
that Democratic moneyed men have
no faith in the election of their candi-
dates,

A Wall FROM RECk'S OTHER
ORGAN.

There is a blatherskite attempt in last
evenings Chronicle to make some Dem
ocratic capital for Beck out OF the
righteous act of decapitating that I'M
blushiug and shameless young fraud,
Powning, Of the Reno Journal. The
whole affair is misrepresented and mag
uifed, of course; Fowning is made a
martyr Of, and the occasion is improved
to sent volume of malignant abuse
upon Sharon and Yeriaeton. 1t is very
evident that Powuing's perhdy was moi
unearthed moment too soon. As to
the issue which has arisen out Of his be-
ing kicked out of the Craftsmanship of
the Republican Committee of Washoe
county, nothing but good can come Of
the result. Men will take sides; and
those who believe in square, honest, hon
orable work and war, will side With the
ma j0rity OF the committee, while those
who are mean enough TO sympatblZe
with treason will stand by the traitor.
There is not square Republican in
Washoe county who will not rejoice that
the editor of Beck's organ has been de-
teeted under his mask ard exposed to
the indignation OF all honorable men.
And now, if the Republicans of Washoe
have the nerve, the integrity and the
desire TO have straight party principles
upheld and indicated, and not adulter-
ated with the petty schemes and ambi-
lions of uercenaries aud men of selfish
ambition, they Will rejoice at the oppor-
tunity now afforded for reorganization
and the forming Of undertaking party

ANDY BRYANT, Mayor of San Fran
cisco, who knows about as much OF the
general politics of the country as he
knows Of t'other Bryant's translation OF
the Illiad, telegraphs to Mayor Wick
ham of New York that the Republicans
of California are disheartened and that
the State is sure for Tilden. This is
very flimsy business; but Andy is a
Democratic Nuldoon, and when he is
not engaged manipulating the pools on
a horse-race or drawing to a bob-tail
flush, he feels it his duty to pump a bit
Of Dutch courage into his fellow Re.
formers and keep them from abandoning
Little Sammy to his fate.

Is ANYBODY in Washoe county weak
enough to doubt that the Geographic re-
port in last evening Virginia Chronicle
of Powning's downfall is the result OF
anything else than conference between
Beck and Ponning. after Friday after

Committee? That the two men are
cheek by jowl, and as thick as three in
