THE LAST WEEK OF THE CAMPAIGN
The national election which takes place one
week nom to day is about the only topic
discussed. There are all kinds OF specula-
lions as 10 the general result and the results
In the various states. The republicans are
hopeful without being over confident, while
the democrats are exceedingly jubilant and
enthusiastic, and anticipate q certain vic
tory for their candidate. Many of them are
evidently wild in their calculation or the
probabilities, and indulge, for Instance, the
nope that Charles Francis Adams will pull
Massacb dsetts through for Tllden. The
campaign committees OF both parties Ia the
city are as hard at work as ever. Judge Ed
munds does not allow the near approach OF
the end TO interfere with the PRONUNCIATION
continne 70 mail noiticaI n dsc1wan,s sun jill
finance; amnesty, the currency, &c. Mean
while his antagonist, Harvey, is also up
s ana dong, and democracy Is supplied with
and deductions OF Its most eminent expo
rents. Both Judge Edmunds and Mr.. Har-
vey are confident. The former is confident
ments having been perfected to check the
fraudulent votes which will be attempted
TO be cast in the city. Returns from Wiscon-
SIN, Michigan, Pennsy ivania, New Jersey
and the Pacific slope are said to be exceed
ipgly encouraging FOR the republicans. The
democrats, on the other hand, are sure of
carrying New York, New Jersey, COnnectI-
cut, Indiana, Nevada, Oregon, and all the
southern states except possibly South Caro-
lima, and have hopes of Wisconsin and Cali
fOrnia.
The betting is all one sided. French pool
selling began last night At the Imperial
hotel. Only one pool was sold on the general
result, In which Tilden sold for s1O0 as against
Hayes e49. Two or three pools of 800 TO $50
were solo that Indiana would 60 for Tilden,
and two OF S25 To $40 that New York Will
give Tilden over 10000 majority. On Ohio
the sales were s25 for Hayes and SIS for Til
den. A party left 81 900 at Shoemaker and
Hertzog's to be wagered on Ttlden being
elected, but up TO twelve o'clock to-day no
one bad taken the bet. OF course there are
any number OF bets outside of the profess
sioral system OF gambling, covering plug
has, new suits Of clothes, overcoats, &c.
Many shrewd republicans think that the
democrats are over leapirg their Judgment
In their exuberance Of confidence and that
in day or two reaction will set In iudi-
eating unnistakably the election of the re-
