Eject which the Governor's Broadsids Has
Upon eolitical BettiDg-heavy Odds
In Favor OF PattIson.
The pool sales at McColgan's, in Phila-
delphia, felt tho effect of Governor HOyt's
letter. At the opening it was apparent
that the "shor.-ends," or Beaver men,
were completely demoralized.
Il have ten dollars that both PattisOn
and Cleveland will bo elected! Ten dollars
ten, ten, and no takers !" were the quick
exclamatiOns of the auctioneer.
"One hundred on Pattison ~ was the
next cry.
"HOw Lluch for Beaver--thirty- five, forty,
fOlty.five, fifty? aud going at tifty"'
AT no time could those supporting Pat
tisOn get a bet unless they gave two to
one. On Cleveland, for governor of New
York, tho odds were even greater than
heretofore, no one Offering more than one
quarter Of what the Democrat brought.
Butler still ran behind in Massachusetts,
while Keim continued tho favOrite for the
sheriffalty. Briggs showed some strength
for the judgeship and kinsey led Rex for
register. The betting did not run into
large figures, the highest being an follows :

There wera 10 offerings, on city treasurer.
Ono bet, oven money. Of S2j was made
aud accepted that Pattison would have
10, 600 plurality. Duriog the evening it
was announced at tho Girard house that a
man from Cleveland was there offering
$500 even up that Stewart would not poll
G5, 600 votes. McCOlgan at once sent over
country wanted tho whole amount at once
or nothing. It was also stated that several
Stalwart Republicans had made up a
purse of So, 600 and that they would throw
it into the pool box to-day or Monday, at
highest figures, for the purpose of boost
ing Beaver.
A few days ago an ex-city commissioner
made wager with an cx-counciiman from
the Seventeenth ward that Beaver would
be elected. He placed $500 upon this,
while the friend OF Pattison put up 81, 900.
When the latter was through he was Of
fered SIC, 600 upon the same conditions,
which was refused. A bet was made yes
tertlay of $500 even that Pattison would
have 10000 plurality. Following upon this
was ono of 81 900 to $3.50 that Pattison
would have more votes in Philadelphia
than Beaver. When the latter bet was made
tho parties who put up tho $3.50 declared
themselves ready to place $4,000 upon
the same odds. A weli-known Democratic
politician Of the Twenty ninth ward made
a wager yesterday of $500 even that Patti
son would have 10000 plurality, and $50
against 500 that Pattison would have
II, 900 plurality. He afterwards wagered
81, 900 against $500 that Pattison would be
elected.
