THE CONTEST IN ILLINOIS.

Democrats Hopeful and Fighting to Win
Same Old Republican Tactfcs-BIOod-
shed Likely to Follow on Federal In
reference
The managers of the Democratic cam
paign in Illinois, says a Chicago special
of Oct. 20, are confident that they have
good fighting chance Of carrying the
State, despite the fact that the National
Committee has left them entirely to their
own resources. Chairman Oberly, of the
State Committee, says that if the national
organization had given them $4,000, to
be used in legitimate way in sending
out speakers to stir up and arouse the
people, the State would certainly give
Cleveland and Hendricks 10000 plurality
at least.
''The very causes that contributed to
the Democratic success in Ohio two years
ago are operative in this State now. The
enactment of prohibitory laws in such
strong Republican States as Iowa and
Kansas, and the passage of the high IL
cense bill in this State have created an.
prehensiOn in the minds of the Germans
of Illinois that prohibition will soon be In
vogue here. Over 20 per cent. of them
are opposed to the Republicans this year.
Then the Independent Republicans-men
who have announced from the time of the
National Convention that they would not
vote for Blaine under any circumstances
are very numerous in this State. In
short, everything is favorable for working
party revolution. But, as l have said,
we have been prevented from doing the
necessary work by a lack of means. AS
it is, l am still hopeful. l have Just had
Il poll OF the State taken and it shows Har-
rison elected Governor by a small plural
ity, and L trust that we may pull the
whole ticket through"

A QUEER COAsTING PLACE.
Sliding Down Hill Where There is no
Snow or Ice.
O.

CuzcO, the ancient capital of the old
Inca empire of Peru, is situated high up
among the Andes at point so elevated
that. although under the tropics, it has
the climate and products of the temper
ate zone. 1t still has many remains of
Inca architecture, distinguished for its
massiveness, which are likely to endure
for centuries to come. On hill, or emf
nence, nearly a thousand feet high, over
looking the city, are the remains of the
great Inca fortress of the Sac-sa-hua-man,
in the stOrming of which Juan PiZarrO,
the brother of the cOnquerOr of Peru, was
slain. The fortress was built of gigantic
stones, or rather rocks, and their great
size and the accuracy with which they
are fitted together astOnish all who see
them.
In front of this fortress is a curious
dOme-shaped mass of rock, called the RO-
da-derO, and sometimes also La PiedrG
Lisa, or "smOOth rock" because its con-
VeX surface is gTOOved, as if the rock had
been squeezed up while in a plastic state
between irregular and unyieldlng walls,
and then hardened into shape. A mass
of dough, forced up under the Outspread
hands, would give something of the same
appearance in miniature. But the hOl-
lows of the grooves on the Peruvian hill
are smooth and CLASSY. 1t is said in the
old chronicles and traditions that the Inca
youth, long years ago, amused themselves
by cOuTsing, or sliding, through these
polished grooves on festival days and
holy days, and this custom is still prac
ticed by the modern youth Of Cuzco.
There is one advantage, and it is great
one, too, which these boys possess over
the northern boys, who live in the land of
ice and snow, and that it is not necessary
for them to toll up a long and slippery
hill, dragging after them their heavy
sleds, which grow heavier with every step
they take, so that the longer they ride the
harder work it is to get back to the start
ing place. The CuzcO boy sits down at
the top of the rock in one of the grooves,
and, with slight start, away he goes
with all the speed imaginable, until he
reaches the bottom, landing in a soft bed
of earth; then he picks himself up, runs
around to an easy place of ascent, and is
up again in minute to repeat his ride.

BETTING IN NEW YORK.
Political Observers Fail to Under
stand It.

Political Observers Fail to Under
stand 1t.
The betting in New York CITY, saws a
Courier-JOurndl special of Oct. 80, is five
to four in favor of Blaine. This is not to
be at all wondered at. The truth is that
the Democrats have been whipped so
often and have lost so much money that
they are afraid to wager more on their
candidates. On the other hand, the Re-
publicans have so often been successful
that they have come to the conclusion
that they can't lose; so go their last
dollar upon their party. There is a sim
gularity, however, in the betting that is
noticeable to a political observer. While
the Republicans will bet heavily at the
odds of five to four, with two bets offered
to one taken upon the election of
Blaine, they still demand odds of
five to four on New York State,
and will only bet even money on
Indiana. From this it is evident
that they are counting on carrying a
Southern state or stealing some State
from the Cleveland column. This must
be so, for New York and Indiana with the
South elects, and the Republicans here
will not bet even money that CleVe-
land will not carry New York and Indi-
ana. To add further to the perpleXity of
the betting men, the gamblers say that by
Saturday the betting will be to 8 that
Cleveland will carry New York State,
and yet the odds Will change to that
Blaine will be elected. The only solution
for this Is that the Republicans propose
to virtually surrender New York and
mass their strength and money in New
Jersey, Connecticut, Indiana, Wisconsin,
Nevada and California. This seems to be
the most intelligent view of the situation.

TROUBLE FEARED MLoUIsIANA
Republican Plans Laid to Repeat the
Frauds of the Dark Age.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 31.-The following
address, issued by the Democratic State
Central Committee, will show somewhat
the dangerous attitude of the campaign
committees toward each other, and possi-
bly, trouble at the polls Tuesday:
To the Democrats Of Neao Orleans and Loqsisf-
ana:
Tomorrow, Friday, the Federal Judge who
has displayed his paTtisanship by appointing
to represent you at the polls as United States
supervisors men who are nOtOriouslv OpDosing
your regularly constituted organization and
nominees. may assume the power of deciding
Wnether 200 duly registered citizens of New
orleans snail be stricken off the poll books at
the request OF some of these sO-called Demo-
cratic supervisors and their Republican COL
leagues. 1ou are besides to be confronted at
the polls by supervisors instructed bv their
Chlef, Norton, to resist arrest by State officers
with or without warrant. According to
tnese outrageous instructions your State Off
GERS can be lawfully shot down in the per-
formance Of their duty. These acts recall the
usurpatiOns of 1872, 1874, 1876, and 1877 in this
state, and of the late murderous elections
IN Cincinnati. They warn you that
your firmness and patriotism are once more
to be tested by the Republican appOintees who
have no regard for your rights as freemen and
American citizens, and no respect for the sa-
cred rights of the State. Your Executive
Committee earnestly desire a free and fair
election, and to that end counsel YOU to act in
strict accordance with the laws, but they also
appeal TO you to sustain the officers of the
State in the performance of their legitimate
duties with that heroism you displayed in the
dark days of Loulsiana's history, and which
won the admiration of liberty LOVING men
throughout the Union.

AT New Haven an Estranged Husband
Seizes His Child by Force.
NEW HAVEN, CONN, Oct. 31.-A bold
case of abduction occurred here last eve
ming. Three men called at the residence of
DR.. E. j. Toof, at No. 126 Wall street, and
when a servant opened the door made a
rush for the dining room, where Mrs. Toot
and her daughter, and Mrs. Rollin c..
Reeves and her daughter were at supper.
Mrs. Reeves recognized one of the men as
her husband, from whom she had ;separa-
ted. She Immediately seized her daugh-
ter, only 6 years of age, and tried to es-
cape with her, but her husband seized her
and, after a desperate struggle, during
which Mrs. Reeves was knocked down,
secured possession of the child, assisted
by accomplices, who had prevented any
interference. He placed the child in a
carriage and drove rapidly toward the
outskirts of the city. This is the second
abduction of the child. About two
months ago he took her to Massachusetts,
but was arrested and forced to return her
to her mother.

POLITICS IN THE PULPIT.
A Church Which Does Not Like It's Pas
tors Opposition to Blaine.

PORTLAND, Me-, Oct. 29.-There is
trouble in the Methodist Church at Ferry
Village, Cape Elizabeth, over the politics
of the pastor, Rev. John Collins, always
heretofore Republican, for thirty years
an influential man in the State, and for
twenty-seven years a clergyman. He
bOlted Blaine, and during the campaign
had vigorously supported st. John, much
to the disgust of most of his parishioners.
Some strongly limited that it might be
well for him to exchange freely. He ac-
cordingly exchanged with Rev. DIR.
Bashford, of Portland, who spoke very
strongly in regard to the duty of voters to
give their support to the temperance man.
Mr.. Collins then exchanged with Rev.
Mr.. Jones, of Gorham, who preached
powerful temperance sermon, the result
being that considerable number of Re-
publicans came out for st. John, and a
st. John Club was formed. Leading Re-
publicans, who were members of the
church, threaten to boycott Mr.. Collins,
who will stand firm. 1t is probable that
some will sever their connection with the
society, and that Mr.. Collins will not be
sent to Cape Elizabeth again.
