Bluff and Brag.

Mr.. EDIToR:-The Tildenites know that they
are "out of the fight if they show a shadow
of doubt respecting a Democratic success in
New York. A doubt about New York would
ensure solid Republican North against a
solid Democratic South. Hence their policy is
to brag aud bluff-to swagger and buster-to
assert that MI. Tilden is sure of $4,000, $4,000,
10000 aud latterly $1,000 majority. All of the
Democratic papers assert this. Mr.. Tilden's
literary bureau and the Democratic National
Committee, which is Mr.. Tilden, constantly
assert this. And to keep the Democracy in
heart that they may fight we'll in the doubtful
states, Mr.. Tilden has secured the notorious
gambler John Morrlssey to organize system
of poo-selling in the hope of helping his cause
with class of voters whom he thinks desire
to be on the winning side, as we'll as to inspire
the Democratic workers. The New York Tri-
bune has several times declared that the pool
selling in New York is a .''put up job for Til
den-tbat no money is put up, but that bogus
transactions are made to bs reported through
out the country.
The farce of pool-selling in this city was un-
doubtedly gotten up for the same purpose.
Indeed, if it was not it is of no account What
better information have the persons who at
tended those so-ca.led sales than have those
who carefully read tue papers? Why, some
of those Tiden bidders would find the reading
Of an Argus leader very perplexing and te-
dious performance 1t is no wonder that the
bidding became lively III proportion as the Til
Gen claquers got full of whiskey. Think of it!
Try and comprehend the density of the igno-
rance and the capacity of the man for carry
ing raw whiskey who proposed an even bet
that New York would give as large majority
for Tilden as Ohio and Pennsyl gania combined
would for Hayes. And, if you can, picture to
yourself the hopelessness of that idocy which
led Tldenite to bet $40 to S. that Colorado
would give its vote to Tilden-Colorado whose
presidential electors are to be chosen to-mor-
row. by Legislature which is more than three
fifhs Republican,!
Mr.. Tllden invented this game of bluff and
brag, and thousands of the nincompoops who
are betting will have ample occasion to curse

The Portland daily press., 1876-11-06

Mr.. EDIToR:-The most important election
which has ever transpired in this country has
tens on, the result of which may change the
destinies of this nation for generations to come.
The work of the past fifteen years may all be
undone by the success of the s'solid South and
their allies Of the North Can any loyal man,
North or South, look on and be indifferent to
the result? Can the men who rejoiced in Un-
ion victories and whose hearts were saddened
at Union defeats, remain away from the polls
in this election?
The civil and religious liberties of the coun-
try hang trembling in the balance, and where
is the Republican who will take upon himself
the responsibility of not voting in this great
contest? Shall the blood of thousand battle
fields be in vain? Shall the contributions which
came up from the people freely, and the mil
lions drawn from them by the government for
the preservation of the Union all be lost? May
God in HIS great mercy forbid it. May the
people arise 10 their might upon the seventh
day of November aud proclaim again in tones
OF thunder that grand old doctrine Of the dec
laration of independence, enunciated by our
revolutionary fathers, that all men are born
equal.
Eternal vigilance is the price Of liberty"
Let this be inscribed upon the banners of the
Republican party. Lot every man work as
never before, aud shoR at the ballot box to the
world, as upon the battle field that the gloriou;
inheritance transmitted to us by our fathers
must and shall be preserved; that we are the
worthy sons of our sires of '76. and that we
will transmit this rich legacy, untarnished, tc
our sons forever. Fl.

ELECTION BETS.-Betting on election is the
favorte pastime just now among betting men
and with many who do not ordinarily risk
money on uncertainties. Among the novel
wages made is one between gentleman and
lady stopping at the United States Hotel In
case Hayes is elected the gentleman is to wheel
her from the hotel to Congress Square and re-
turn at o'clock in the evening, ram OF shine
Should Tilden be successful the lady agrees to
undertake similar journey with the man as a
passenger.
Two men connected with the earthen ware
pottery on Brattls street have made the fol
lowing wager on the result of the Presidential
election: If Tllden is elected the Republican is
to wheel the Democrat in a wheelbarrow, from
the pottery to Green to Congress, Congress te
Preble, Preble to Portland, Portland to Brattle
If Hayes is elected the Democrat is to do the
wheeling. If either fails to come to time he is
to forfeit the sum Of S.. The show will come
off Thursday between the hours of II and 1
o'clock.
At the pool selling at the United States Sat-
urday evening it was impossible to get an even
bet on Tilden Notwithstanding offers were
made by Hayes men several times. Oae man,
evidently reader of the Argus bought poo
of $40 to $40 that Colorado would go for Til.
den. The Tilden man is now trying to get tht
pool declared off. Three pools of $50 to $2t
were made that Tilden would carry New York
Several other unimportant pools on majorities
in several states were made. Pools will also
be sold this evening.
