CHCAGo, October 81.
The heat beneath the political
pot becomes more intense as the day
of election draws near.
Both of the leading candidates are
in New York City, Blaine delivering
three or four addresses daily, while
Cleveland keeps mum as an oyster.
Mrs Maria Halpin yesterday made
an affidavit of the injury done her by
Cleveland, firstly, by seducing her;
and, secondly, by denouncing her rs
an abandoned woman, early in this
campaign. She swore positively that
up to the hour when she met Cleveland
her life had been as spot)ess as that OF
any lady IN Buffalo.
Betting on New York State is now
even, Blaine having advanced over 20
per cent. since his arrival in the me-
tropolis and since Beecher's utteranc-
es, last Sunday, from the pulpit Of
Plymouth church. Beecher's letter to
Garfield, warmly recommending
Blaine for Secretary Of State, the Sec
ond office in the country, is published,
and being scattered broadcast
throughout the country.
A scandal, started from Kansas, is
being circulated against Prohibition
St. John, with telling effect. Many
leading temperance societies, includ.

their intention to vote for Blaine to
St. Johns prejudice.

We Love to Work.

Zoe Howard in Philadelphia Press
Take my friend Chanfrau, the actor,

and always liked and always admired. as
type of man born in this country of
poor, humble parentage, with no start
in life until accident opened door.
Through that passage-way he jumped
quickly and was never pulled back.
Sixty five years of age, worth all the
way from $500, 1000 to $500, 900, he was
working like car horse. "A fresh sea-
son was just begun, weeks and weeks of
toll and labor for him, days of travel,
evenings of exertion, nights Of COM
parative unrest were to be his portion.
Why? Not for more money.
He was rich enough. He low, d
work. We all love to work. That
is the great American trait, wolk
and love Of money. It isn't the money.
If it was the money we were after
wouldn't we hoard it? Wouldn't our
savings banks have greater assets than
they have to- day? Work was Chanfrau's
recreation. Work was his delight.
Had any one suggerted to him the de-
STABILITY of trip to Europe; with q
year among the delights of the Cont
nent, he would have laughed the idea to
scorn. Why?' TO make more money :?
Not at all. Because he loved to work
he liked to see his name on the big bills.
he liked to hear the cheering applau 9
of his friends in the audience, he liked
to believe that he was still the peoples
favorite.

A good many southern men have been
brought to ruin by gambling in cotton
Futures" A.case which has excited
much attention has just been decided id
Georgia, in which the court held that q
note given to cover margins was void in
the hands Of all parties, whether inno-
cent holders or otherwise. In deliver:
irg this opinion the Judge spoke of faro,
brag and poker as tame, gentle, sub
missive animals compared to this mon
ster, future speculation, which he char
acterized as sferocious beast allowed to
stalk about in open midday with gilded
signs and flaming ADVERT sements to al
lure unhappy victims to its embrace of
death and destruction. This forcible
characterization is none too strong.
The operations Of asimilaf character in
grain and pork in Chicago also have
been as foreibly denounced in the courts
Of that city. They have an air of re-
spectability given to them because they

Dying in Strange Positions.

While coming back to the hospital we
found Ike Green, of my company, hang
ing across the Tense dead. He gave out
while We were on the shirmish line, and
he was not able to get into wagon.
After getting rested, I suppose he start
ed to hunt us up, and while climbing
over the fence he was struck with bull
let, and there he stopped. The ball
passed through his st omach and spine.
He was no coward, else he would have
faced the other way when he had such
good chance.
Several dead men have been found in
hollow logs or behind logs or rocks, as
though they had been wounded and
crawled in there to protect themselves.
One poor fellow sat behind big tree
with Bible in his hand. He had been
passed dozen times and more during
the day by ambulance drivers and bur-
ial squads, but thay had all thought
that he was alive. He had been shot
in the thigh, and he had gone to this
tree for protection, taking his Bible
out, he thought, no doubt, that he would
find consolation in reading it, but while
sitting there ball cut him through the
back of the neck deep enough to break
the spinal cord. His head dropped
forward a little, and there he sat. Pitts

NEW YORK, Special Telegram, Nov g.
The Republican state committee, at mid
night, still claim this state by from 5000 to
5000 for Blaine Their estimates are
Of gains, which they 3 believe are
not up to the increase of the
vote over 1880, In: which case they will
count for nothing. The only way in which
they believe the state can be carried for
Cleveland is by fraud. The Tribune
carried the state and is therefore elected
president Its belief is founded upon the
following figures: Returns from 1,742
election districts outside of New York and
Kings counties give Blaine 3S9, 4O4, Geve-
land 1872, 119. This leaues Blaines plurality
57,295. In New York and Kings counties
the Democratic plurality will not exceed
IS, 557-leaving Cleveland's plurality 1882,
with 254 election districts to hear from.
Those districts in 1880 gave net
Republican plurality of 4, 243. The same
proportion this year would give Blaine 2, 96l
plurality ! in the state The Tribune
now claims the state by 1900 plurality.
sThere Is nothing" says the Tribune gin the
returns from the remainder Of. the state to
indicate probability of the Democrats
overcoming that" The betting tonight

house being three to one in his favor.

that he had run away from home sever

he could get hold of, and camped in the
