discussing politics in New street yesterday
with Noah Content lhe broker. Mr.. Neal
announced himself as a staurch supporter
Of Cleveland and as a firm believer in his
election to the Presidency. Mr. Conten,
shouted Tor Blaine and when a number OF
bysuuders began to chatT him for being on
the wrong side he said to Mrs Nea,:

ries New York by 10000 majority. Put
your money up

ducinr the 50. oh. my? This is the
Soltest snap I've had in good while.
Then 1t became evident that Mr.. Content
had been trying a little bluff. He had not
counted on Mr.. Neal being able TO produce
the money so promptly. Mr. Content STAN
merrd out something about not having 800
witN him. and declined TO bet while the

The stock brokers made so much noise on
the floor of the Board Room yesterday
cheering for Blaine and for Cleveland that
the President OF the Exchange, Mr.. 5 m
mors. was obliged TO make little speech
asking them to restrain their enthusiasm, as
il iEterfered with business. The Cleveland
men seemed to be in the majority, as the
cheers for Cleveland drowned out the Blaine
,houters. An informal ballot on the Presi-
Ieucv was taken on Change during the
lunch hour and showed that $40 voters were
for Clryclaud aud $i2 for Blaine.
