BETTING ON ELECTIONS.
Netc York Tribune.

Betting on horse racing has often led to attempts
to secure certain results by criminal methods.
Betting on crop production, the output Of mines,
the aow of oil wells, and forth, when done by
men of large capital, naturally leads to combine
tions and corners for the purpose of assuring the
desired end All betting of whatever nature
tempts to the exercise of whatever power may be
possessed, in order to the more certain winning of
the bet. Of course there always will be a great
many people who simply stake their money on
their convictions, on information they have re-
ceived, or even upon their strength OF hope and
desire alone. In politics it is plain that betting
has increased greatly of late years, and it is
especially noticeable that it has increased among
professional politicians; those, namely, who handle
the machinery of elections and of parties, and who
if their interests prompt them to actions which
their morals do not revolt from, may find it not
j %fPaGfSibe tS asy aS Msys If e%Ha they
have wagered. 1t is perhaps impossible by any
legislation, or by any moral suasion, to put an
end to betting. The spirit of speculation is in
herent in human nature, as a rule, and it can
only be suppressed by the existence of social
conditions entailing far more serious evils than
flow from any form of gambling. At the same
time, it is necessary to point out that political
betting involves some real dangers, and that the
public are concerned in watching it carefully.
Given politicians of loose principles and large
opportunities, who have strong pecuniary reasons
for desiring that an election shall result in par
ticuar way, and it is not necessary to imagine
such persons monsters to suppose them capable
of assisting" Fortune by the means open to
them. 1t may be feasible SO to hodge about the
final electoral processes by legislation that any
tampering with them will be impossible. That
end should certainly be aimed at, for in it lies
the only absolute assurance of safety. 1t can
never be repeated too often that all institutions
and safeguards which rest ultimately upon human
character are precarious. The only machinery
which can always be trusted is that which pos
sesses mind to be tempted, no principles to be
debauched. Betting on elections is neither worse
nor better than any other form of betting, but all
forms of betting are open to the same dangers,
and this certainly is not exempt Therefore
if it is futile to think of stopping the practice by
prohibition, it is the more necessary to make the
laws governing elections so stringent and oompre-
hensive that no opportunity shall be given any
one, whether in or out of Office to interjed any
alien influence at any stage of the electora pro-
cess And it is just possible that if this is done
the interest of a good many people in eection
betting will be diminished considerably
