How the Gamblers Came TO "Gucss il
Wrong"
CHICAGO, November 6th.-A special to the
Tribune from New York says: It is under
stool here that the gamblers in the principal
cities of the West were, on Wednesday even
ing early, all betting that New York had
gone Democratic. The origin of this rumor
and the credence it received are attributed to
the wires of the American Union Telegraph
Company for several hours with dispatches
calculated to impress the idea that later re-
turns had made the New York election safe
for Hancock men to bet on. These dis
patches, although private ostensibly, of
course, leaked good deal, and the enterpris-
ing but ill-fated gamblers again became VIC
Tins of policy which the American people
have stamped with their unequivocal disap-
proyal. In this region Barnum has gained
about the fame which is accorded to the
memory Of Guy Fawkes in England.
Barnum's Conspiracy.
CHICAGO, November 7th.-The Tri5unes
Philadelphia special says: There is no doubt
of the truth of the reported scheme of Dem.
ocrats to cast out the State of New York.
It is positively known that Barnum and
Kelly only await the result in California and
Nevada to decide. If the States are counted
for Hancock proceedings will commence at
once to carry out the plot. Without these
Pacific coast States New York would be of
no avail, but with their aid Kelly and Bar
mum will attempt one of the most desperate
plans ever enacted to count in Hancock in
New York and inaugurate him on the 4th of
March next. Barnum and Kelly have not
conceded Garfelds election or New York
State, and Barnum BY series of villainous
dispatches, sent prepaid broadcast through.
out the country, is endeavoring to prepare
the minds of the people for the surprise.
Hancock and the Proposed Contest.
CHICAGO, November 7th.-The Times New
York special says: There is the very best
authority for the statement that General
Hancock wrote to Chairman Barnum that
the proposition to contest the vote of the
State did not meet his approval, being based
on unproveable statements.
CHICAGO, November 7th-The Times New
York special learns that Hancock has writ
ten letter to Barnum protesting against the
fraud issue being pressed, and declaring that
he has no sympathy with the movement. and
will not father it. This cannot be confirmed
at present. 1t is stated that Hancock is much
disgusted with the serious blunders and con.
temptible meanness that characterized the
conduct of the Democratic campaign, and
will not assist the managers in covering up
their own shortcomings by joining in the cry
of fraud where no fraud can be proved or
found.
Barnums Ridiculous Claim.
CHICAGO, November 9TH. = The Times
heartily reprobates Barnums latest move to
declare that frauds had been committed in
New York, and points out that the claim is
ridiculous on its face, the Democrats having
every opportunity to prevent fraud, if at
tempted, and being, through their methods
and history, much more likely to have en-
gagged in such disreputable methods as they
accuse the Republicans of than are the Re-
publicans themselves. Besides, there is not
a single creditable witness or solitary lot of
evidence, so far, which goes to establish their
claim.
No Cause for Serious Alarm.
CHICAGO. November 7th.-The lribune's
Philadelphia special says: Cessna, of the Re-
publican State Central Committee says of
Barnum aud Kelly's patent fraud scheme :
When the report, or rumor, was first circu-
lated on Thursday afternoon, | was not dis
posed to consider it as serious. l thought it
merely movement among the stock gam
blers, but after considering it for time be-
gan to fear that it was an effort among the
more desperate men of the Democratic party
to feel the public pulse, and lealn whether
they could with safety attempt to perpetrate
the great fraud. l think now if they had
control of the State government of New York
there would be danger, but as it is l do not
think there is any cause for serious alarm, as
the better element of the Democratic party
would not encourage the Fraud
No Trifling to be Allowed.
New YORK, November 7th.-The Repub-
lican National Committee present an address
to the country comprising the results of the
election, and concluding as follows: 'Re-
publicans may be assured that no after
thought of two or three mortified and des-
perate leaders of the minority, writhing
under their party censure, will be allowed to
trihe with this mighty verdict, or prevent the
organization of Government on the ap.
pointed day by the resolute men chosen to
administer it."
The Situation at New York.

used in Brooklyn. Mayor Murphy, of Troy,
and other men who have been long time
terror to the Republicans on account of their
methods, took the case, and began
to yell "fraud." Many speculations are
ahoat in political circles as to the cause of
all this outcry from Barnum and Tammany.
By some it is declared to be an effort
to get up feeling of uneasiness, to
affect the stock market. One Democrat said
that w. l.. Scott and other members of the
Democratic National Committee were -beay-
lily interested in election bets, and they were
working up the grand cry in hopes of having
their bets declared off. It was generally ad-
mitted that the interest of Kelly in the

from his own organization. Ex-Lieutenant.

BILE Democrat who would say he believed there
were frauds. Thomas Kinsellas, editor OF the
Brooklyn Eagle, well known friend of Tilden
and Hancock, ridiculedt the cry. He said it was
utterly preposterous for any one to suppose
that Hancock would lend himself to any such
scheme as this. He did not believe that col
on any such scale as was charged
was possible without detection, and If it was
carried on, then the ilnbecility of the Demo-
cratic managers alone would account for it.
The election was over, and it was folly to at

divert attention from their own misconduct
by getting up dispute over the result. The
