WHILE betting proves nothing it is
often an excellent indication OF the
drift Of the political tide. During the
past two weeks it has been very heavy
in New York city and the brokers'
guild especially is taking great in
terest in this phase Of the campaign.
Considerable odds are being given
that Cleveland and Hendricks will
carry the Empire State, and bets on
the general result also favor the
Democratic nominees. A millionaire
who came out of the mighty West to
bet$l00, 900 on Blaine and Logan, after
placing $4,000 on even terms, and
sounding the feeling in Gotham, pre-
cipitately retired from the field, hay
ing all he wanted OF that kind OF
sport Though Senator Thurman, and
many other Democrats who ought to
be well versed on the state of public
sentiment in Ohio, confidently look
for n Democratic victory there, the
general feeling ls that, owing to local
issues, the Buckeye State will go Re-
publican, Even should such prove to
be the case, the result has already
been discounted by the sagacious men
who look ut the political situation
from national point OF view. 1t is
dominated by the facts that New York
and Indiana and the solid South, or
New York, New Jersey and Califor-
mia and the solid South, or New York,
New Jersey, Connecticut and Califor-
mia and the solid South, elect
the Democratic ticket The most
reasonable and fairest view of
the outlook places New York,
New Jersey, Indiana, Connecticut and
California in the same column with
the sixteen Southern States, and this
makes a very solid foundation for the
Democrat who is disposed to risk the
favors OF Dame Fortune in the betting
arena. That he realizes his advan-
tage he shows by the promptitude
with which he is willing to put up his
shekels on the Hateful issue.

THE Council yesterday deferred final
action on the bids for the city printing
in order to give opportunity for full
hearing in the matter. Only one bid
was received in response to the invita-
ton for proposals from the weekly
newspapers OF Los Angeles to do the
municipal advertising, and that was
from our esteemed contemporary, the
Western Ware. This shows, for the
first time in the history OF Los Ange-
les, that the publishers of the daily
and weekly press have come to the
conclusion that the game OF cutthroat
against each other in matters of local
advertising is poor business, Just as
it would be poor policy on the part OF
the City Fathers to deny their con
stituents the privilege OF reading mo-
tees affecting their property and other
interests in the columns OF widely
circulated daily journal.

The nomination of Col. Dick Bar

worthy man who had had hard luck
in the lottery of politics some years
ago. Having received the nomination
in 1881, the Supreme Court decided
that there could be no election. In
1882 the political chances gave the
prize to another. Barham is strong

ticularly strong in its southern end,

From the Vienna Freie Presse, Sept, H.
II would be idle to presume that all the
German Americans are Republicans True
they fought on the side of the Union during
the war for the abolition Of slavery, but the
events of a quarter Of century have caused
them to change their political views, until
to-day the majority Of them have wandered
into the Democratic ranks That they will
vote for CleVeland-And more, that they will
go through fire and water for him-cannot
be gainsayed In this campaign large nun.
Der OF the German Republicans have left the
old flag, and principally to vote for the Dem,
ocratic candidate, Cleveland, aud intend Ia
go solidly against Blaine. This condition of
affairs is of the greatest importance, because
In all probability great deal depends upon
the German American vote. With but few
exceptions the entire German press is witt
Cleveland All the leading ones have de
clared out and out for him, For this reason
II we can consider the German vote as thu
balance of power, the chances of Blaine ar,
very dark, and the days of Republican rull
in the United States are numbered.

They should Settle mp.
Especial Telegram to the Globe

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2O.-The postofice
departm ent has discovered that a large pro-
portion of postmasters have become very
negilent about depositing their receipts when
they draw near the end Of their terms and
do not expect to be reappointed. They sell
all the stamps they can, fail to deposit their
receipts and 90 out of Office with
considerable amount Of public money in
their possession. The department author
titles try TO get them to settle up without
much success until they enter suit againt
their bondsmen, and then the derelict post
master is quite ready for an adjustment and
pays over the balance due the government
Probably they never intended to steal the
money, but they managed to secure the use
Of the public money for several months after
they should have given it up. At the present
time the department finds a pretty general
tendency on the part of pOstmasters to be
slow about making their deposits, which in
dicates TO the department that they have no
expectation of remaining in Office long after
March and intend to have the use of as
much public money and for as long period
as possible. One thing is quite certain, the
postmasters whom the Democratic postmas-
ter general finds IN arrears will be very
promptly turned out for cause, whereas If
they had kept their accounts settled up pro-
perly they might have escaped removal for
some time.

The Inau. uration Ball.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. I

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-The local public
is getting torn up on the subject Of the in
auguration ball. 1t was Just so four years
ago, when there was good deal Of a fight
among the different factions that
wanted to control the matter There is a
citizens movement on foot for getting
up the ball on sort Of business interest,
non-partisan basis. II is not looked upon
with marked favor by the local Democratic
political organizations, who have announced
that they should have control of the festivi-
ties In their way and in their
own hands. Then there is the
third party, the super-servieeable com
missioner, Edmunds, who was in such
haste to announce to Gov. Cleveland that
he was Democrat, and therefore should be
left undisturbed by the new administration.
Mr. Edmunds thinxs that, as the Democratic
end OF the local government, he ought to
have the general management Of the inaug-
ural festivities, but he viii not have
Four years ago the inaugural
ball was held in the national museum
which was then new and unoccupied. Now
it is full of wooden idols, Chinese pagodas.
inlaid lions, clothes and erockery formerly
belonging to George and Martha Washing
ton, stuffed animals, Hindoo carts, Chinook
dugouts, aud other and invaluable scientific
specimens, and it would be a difficult
matter to stow them away. The only hall
big enough for the purpose is the court Of
the new pension building. Gen. Meigs saws
be can'tget the roof on in time and that a
temporary roof is out Of the question, but
some eminent citizens in sist that the court
can be easily covered with canvas or water
proof paper so that it can
be used one evening. The court is 3l6
feet long and about 100 feet wide, and will
make an admirable ball room IL it can be
covered. If it cannot be, it is possible that
the seats Of the new Opera house viii be
hoored over and the ball given there, but the
house isn't half large enough. 1t would
cost too much money to erect a temporary
building for the purpose.
