New York and Chicago Men Seeking to
Secure Bets in His Favor-Odds That
He will Carry New York.
There was great deal of betting in this
city to-day on the election, says New
York special Of Sept. 20, and Cleveland is
growing in favor with the betting men.
The betting on the general result of the
election is even, while the odds are $1,000
to $3.50 in favor of Cleveland carrying this
State. To-day Addison Commack, the
well-known Wall street broker, bet
$4,000 that Cleveland would be
the next President, taking all the bets
that he could get on the event, but
Republican money was scarce. Tonight
Edward Kearney, one of the sachems of
Tammany hall, bet SO, 900 that Cleveland
would be elected, and the money was put
up with the proprietor of the Hoffman
House. The most significant fact in con-
nectiOn with the betting is that large
sums of money have been telegrapheG
here within the last few days by parties
in Chicago with instructions to bet it on
Cleveland. $4,000 was received by one
gentleman in Wall street from that city
to-day for that purpose. Inquiry dis
closes the fact that most Of this money
was sent here by grain speculatoTs, many
of whom are Republicans, and whose
judgment is based upon what they know
of the situation in the Western and North.

THE ELECTION OF 1860.
Some Curious Figures About the Pop
lar and Electoral Vote.

Some curious flEures ABOUT the EOpu-
lar and Electoral Vote.
The curious and interesting statements
and speculatiOns few days ago upon the
pOssible results of the Presidential elec-
tiop. SAYS a correspondent of the Balti-
more SatI, recall to mind what actually
happened in 1860. In that memorable
canvass Abraham Lincoln was the candi-
date of the Republicans, John C. Breck-
enridge of the Southern Democracy,
Stepheu A. Douglas Of the Northern De-
mOcracy. and John Bell of the Constitu-
tional UniOnists. The total electoral vote
was 800. so that il was necessary TO an
election that the successful candidate
should receive 152 votes. Mr. Lincoln re-
ceiVed 1. $50, ,352 votes of the people and lSO
electoral VOtesS Mr.. Douglas received /
315, l57 votes OF the people and only II
electoral votes: Mr. Breckenridge re-
ceived S45, 763 votes Of the people and y
electoral votes, and Mr.. Bell received
1851 votes of the people and 80 electoral
EOtes.
1t appears. therefore, that Mr.. Douglas,
with a popular vote at his back nearly
equal 20 that of MeSsrs. Breckenridge and
Bell combined, received of the electoral
vote Just One-siXth part of the number ac-
corded TO MT. Breckenridge and less than
oue-third the pumber received by Mr.. Bell
while the joint electoral votes given. to
Messrs. Breckenridge and Bell exceed
those given to Mr.. Douglas in the proper

To saw of these facts that they are very

A sHAKY STATE.
politicians of Both Parties Doabtfu
About Ohio.

POLITICIANS OF Both Parties Doubtful
About Ohio.
Politicians who do not as a rule concede
anything, says Washington special to
the Cincinnati Iimes-Stdr, all admit
themselves at sea in regard to Ohio.
Everything seems to be working by con-
traries there. A month ago the Democrats
were claiming the State and the Republi-
cans were po0h-pOoh-ing their assertions
out of sight. Now the Democrats are say
ing they do net expect to carry il, and
the Republicans are warning their men
everywhere to look out for Ohio, as the
Democrats are making a still hunt for it
and may buy it away. On the other
hand the Republicans who, a month ago
were saying they were sure of the State
are now putting up a poor mouth, saying
that they have no money for campaign
purposes, and that there is danger that the
State may be bought up by the Demo-
Gratis.
Another feature in which the situation
seems to be reversed, as compared with
the usual condition at this period, is that
the Irish Catholic voters of Che State. who
have always voted with the Democrats
heretofore, are now reported almost solid
ly Republican, while the German Cath0-
lie vote and the German vote in general,
which has been Republican in the past,
is now claimed as Democratic. Still
another curious feature is the fact that
the Republicans, who have always had
plenty Of money for use in the former
elections, are protesting to be very poor
this time, while the Democrats are said
to be well supplied with funds and quite
willing to spend the same.
When the uncertainty of the wool ele~
ment, with its 100000 votes, and the
saloon clement with IFS great DOwpr are
added to the complications, the situation
becomes absolutely painful in its puzzling
features. or one thing, however, there
remains little doubt, and that is that
every Ohio voter here who can be got
home to cast his vote will go. Already
many of them have gone, with the idea OF
taking hand in the fight during the last
ten days of the campaign, and others are
preparing TO leave at once.

ALovE LoRN MAID.

This afternoon Alice Glover, young
white girl living in the western portion of
this city, swallowed some morphine with
intent to end her life in that way. When
found she was lying on the ground near
the old mineral springs and was uncon-
sciOus of what was going on about her.
She was taken to her home and medical
aid furnished her. Tonight she is re-
ported to be in fair way of recovering.
In one of ner stockings was found a pistol.
with which, she said, she intended killing
herself if the poison did not do the work.
Friends OF the family say that the most
probable cause of her wishing to die is
that young man who for some time has
been paying her marked attention, a few
days ago jIlted her, and that his going
back on her made her very unhappy.
Miss Glover is considered of good charac-
ter and belongs to family standing well
IN the vicinity in which they reside.
