The Talk without Money.

About two weeks ago the New York
World published the offer of a gen tie
man represented by Mr.. Rorke, the
newsdealer of Fulton street and Broad
way, n. Y, to bet $4,000 or more that
Hancock will be elected, aud the ga me
amount that New York will give him
a majority of 10000. Mr.. Sheridan
Shook professed himself willing to ac-
cept the bets mentioned. The gentle
man who made the offers was seen
the other day and said to World re-
porter: II went up to see Mr.. Shook
on Wednesday night with the money
prepared to make my bets. 1 found
him in the bar of the Union Place Ho-
tel, and going up to him said / under
stood he wanted to bet against Han
cock. He SAID yes. and pulling out
500 said he would bet me SlO0 that he
would stake more against Hancock
than I would against Garfield. I put
down 800 and said I would take the
bet, but he pulled back his S1OO and
said, No. let us have a drink, and if
you will meet me at the Metropolitan
Hotel at $50 P. NJ. we can arrange the
bets.' 1 agreed and afterwards met
him at the Metropolitan Hotel at the
time. He began by telling
me that he had got into trouble by bet

sued him for his winnings. / at once
offered to give him ample security on
that point. But he said he didn't like
to bet that way; tina: he hid deposited

With Indiana Democratic, Mr.. Bar

in 1875, when Tilden secured a majori-
ty of thirty-seven in the electoral col
lege. OF New York, New Jersey and
Connecticut Mr.. Barnum has never
entertained the elightest doubt.
Weeks ago, when 1t seemed as If the
two factions In New York city would
never come to terms. he prophesied
that they would, and that their frater.
nization would be complete.
The events of the past week. and
friendly feeling with which Tammany
and anti-Tammany have Joined forces
they have never entered a Preslden-
tial campaign in such thorough har-
mony before-have vindicated his
prophecy and assured Hancock the
Empire State. OF New Jersey there
has never been the slightest doubt,
while as for Connecticut-whose cleo
toral vote, by-the.by, is not necessary
for success-it always goes with its
great neighbor, New York.
But Mr.. Barnum IS not content with
this prospect. Believing that success
In Indiana will insure q large Demo-
cratic vote and magnificent majority
in New York, he is filled with the idea
of giving the Republicans an over
whelming defeat in October ending the
war then by wrestling Ohio from them.
If Garfield is defeated in his own State,
which has gone Republican every Pres
idential election for twenty odd years,
there is 80 little hope for him that the
Republican Campaign Committee
would probably close their office In
New York and go home. Mr.. Bar
mum announces that a victory in Ohio
is practicable, and proposes to begin q
canvass of the State. 1t will be q
thorough, bold and dashing one, and
will be conducted with such energy
that it will probably persuade the Re-
publicans to drop Indiana and concen-
trate their whole strength on Ohio
to save Garfield his own State. Such
is the promise of. the campaign to-
day.-N. O. Democrat. ~,

Garfield as fulsome as the certificates

who have been shocked by this degra-

ought to be Informed that the atlantic
Monthly has been q partizan subsidized
magazine ever since the days In which
the Chairman Of the Republican Ma
tional Committee became Postmaster
General. They should know, too, that
for several years the publisher Of this
so-called literary periodical has been
allowed to publish and to sell for his
own profit the annual "Postal Guide"
and its monthly supplements. This
privilege was originally awarded with
out prospectus, notice or u bid.
The annual subsidy was $4,000, and

to his further privilege of making pri-

Gen. Garfield's De Golyer Rec
ord.

HE DECLARES THAT HE MADE AN AR
GUMENT BEFORE THE BOARD OF
PUBLIC WORKS.
From his Speech at Warren, o, Sept. 10, IA.
Mr.. Parsons came to me and said hs
had an important case; he had worked
a good deal while on it, but was called
away. He must leave. He did not
want to lose his fee-was likely to lose
it unless the work was completed. He
asked me if / would argue the case for
him; if 1 would examine into the mer-
its of this pavement and make state
ment of it before the Board.
Inaade the argument.
From the Same Speech at Warren.
The question was, If the people want
the wood pavement and are determined
to have it, which pavement shall we
give them, the best, or not the best?
Now, / have before ME here, tChat
had aohen I made the argument, GER
tificates from Chicago, st. Louis, San
Francisco, and all the other cities
where the pavement was laid, that il
stood better than any wood pavement
that have ever been laid.
From the Same Speech
A committee Of investigation went
over the whole ground of this business
i'm Washington. Mr.. Parsons went be-
fore that committe and told them all b e
knew about this pavement; told them
what he knew of its merits and told
them he and I argued that case.
GEN. GARFIELD SwEARS THAT He AR
GUED THE CASE BEFORE THE
BOARD.
From his Testimony before an Investigating
mil If Eel |
Mr.. Nickerson-I understand you to
say, Mr.. Garfield, that you prepared a
brief after Mr.. Parsons went away, and
Public Works. Is there such a brief
on file.
MIR. Garfield-My impression is that
i filed it, though L am not certain. I
kpOD I stated to the Board of Public
Works the points of the case.
The ChairInan-YOu did make an ar
gument?
Mr.. Garfield--I made careful study
of the case, and 1 stated the points to
the members of the Board.
Mr.. Nickerson-Did you ever meet
the Board collected together as a Board,
and make any statement or argument
OH the subject?
Mr.. Gariield-I don't know whether
the members of the Board were all
there or not.
Mr.. Nickerson-Did you at any time
appear before the Board and make any
DhdteUer?

that did; but did speak to Governor
on the subject, giving my
opinion i'm its favor.

What have our Republican friends
to say In reference to the Republican
testimony against Garfield, which we,
from time to time lay before our read
ers? What can they say? The evl-
dence, given at a time when the party,
its conscience quickened by over
whelming defeat or anticipations of it
was endeavoring to rid itself of it's more
corrupt elements, is conclusive and
cannot be refuted. 1t as now publish
ed, is not garbled, and In this particu-
lar is in strong contrast to the manner
in which the Republicans lay before
their followers pretended expressions
Of confidence in Garfield's merits by
Democrats. AS an instance of the lat
ter we subjoin the following, published
a few days since in the New York 7ri-
bune as coming from Hon. Henry b.
Payne, of Ohio:
sit isn't likely that l would continue to re-
spect and admit to my intercourse any man
whom believed guilty Of deliberate dishonor.
{No. / have never examined the specific
charges against Garfield nor acquainted my
self with his defense against them. From my
knowledge of his character, however, should
be decidedly inclined to believe that he was
deceived rather than euilty-that his ignor-
ance of business affairs and methods was to
blame for any error.) Nothing in his out
ward life denotes that he has lrofited by cor
ruption. He lives economically; the pre- sent
improvements on his house in Mentor-which
may cost some ,3,O00-involve the most con-
siderable expenditure his neighbors are aware
off,
All that we here print in parenthesis
was omitted from the Iribane's citation
of Mr.. Payne's benevolet observations,
and we hope this painful discovery will
show how little reliance can be placed
on Republican campaign journalism in
a Presidential year.
