BUSINESS GAMBLING

1t is the fascination of business
gambling that, apparently, it offers
greater scope to brains than do the
ordinary games of chance. Opera
tons on change require, for any de-
gree of success beyond occasional
luck, knowledge of corporate tran
sactions. the accumulation and CO.
ordination of other trustworthy in
formation, and a nicely of judgement
beyond the reach of any but the
keenest business intellects. And
here again, as in the following of
gambling systems at Monaco, con-
fidence and knowledge may be dam
gerous things. Nothing but u'.faia
advantage wins steadily in selling
sslongo or selling s.short'' or dealing
in cultures. Of course, stock ex-
changes and produce exchanges are
useful adjuncts of honest commerce,
and bankers and brokers are neces-
sary to the operations of exchange.
But, one year taken with another
the true interests of exchanges and
bankers and brokers, like the inter.
ests of society in general, will bt
found to lie in the way of real trad
ing. Fictitious trading demoralizes
commerce with fictitious prices, an(

10 One of Gov. Cleveland's bitterest
opponents all along has been William
Purcell, editor of the Rochester I'm
ION. To give him something to play
with and distract his mind the Sara
toga convention named him as one of
the electors-at-large in the hope that
his acceptance of the honor would

of Cleveland's nomination. 1t did
not have the desired effect, however,

support the nominee, Mr.. Purcell has
not only temporarily withdrawn from
the management of the paper, but has
also declined to serve as an elector

THE PIVOTAL STATES.

The pivotal states in this contest at
the East are Connecticut, New Jersey
and New York. These will be the
battle grounds. Just at present there
are two movements in each, of an
entirely unlike character. A few re-
publicans. OF seml-republicans have
espoused the democratic ticket.
They are making good deal of noise,
because they are all talking men.
They are represented by few jnfu-
entail newspapers, and this is thei'
strongest point. How much this viii
tell can only be known when the votes
are counted. Present indications
point to the Independent movemen
as being limited in these states, ant
it is not at ali likely that new depart
ure newspapers will half carry thei
readers with them. Thes.latter ar
rapidly going over to The papers tina
| continue loyal and consistent.

The offset to the Independent


The offset to the Independent
movement III the pivotal states lies
in the labor movement. The extent
of this cannot yet be gagged. 1t
includes from one to two million vo-
tiers, and the surge may be partial or
total. At the outset the Indications
point to tremendous array against
Cleveland of the labor vote. Even
the New York Sun, democratic au-
thority, which has been looking over
Connecticut, declares that s'wide-
spread dissatisfaction with Cleveland
crops out everywhere among demo-
cratic voters of Irish antecedents. !"
ssCareful inquiry" it adds 'sleads to
the opinion that not less than three
hundred Irish American voters in
Hartford alone will refuse to vote for
Cleveland. In New Haven the San
estimates that it is under the number
to say that 500 Irish democrats will
vote against Cleveland. In Water
bury, Meriden, Bridgeport and other
places similar state of things exists.
1t doubts if the republicans IN Con-
necticut lose more than 500 votes by
the Independent detection, and con-
ceding a loss of 1900 votes by the
Irish-American detection, the Sun
concludes that Cleveland's prospects
in Connecticut are anything but rosy.
The state has gone republican in every
presidential contest since the war ex-
cebt in 1876.
In New York similar state of
things exists on much greater scale.
The labor vote of New York is quar-
ter of million or more. 1t is keen
ly alive to the record of Gov. Cleve-
land, for his votes deprived them of
much-needed legislation. He swung
the veto club against them every time.
A canvass of one shoe shop in Roch-
ester gave Blaine 250, Cleveland 8.
Congressman Hiscock says that the

senator, who has been over the state,

for Cleveland. Chautauqua county
is set down 5000 majority for Blaine,
and Cattauraugus 1000. The Albany
Times, democratic, while supporting
Cleveland after a fashion, bluntly and
significantly says: "We still believe
that he will lose many thousands OF
democratic voters, and have no con.
fidence that he can carry New York

is the cause of extravaganza, reck-
lessness, and low business morality.
When the gambling transactions ex-
coed the honest investments more
than twenty-fold, as some have esti-
mated, it is impossible to have a
sound condition of business. And
when stocks suffer, as recently, a de-
probation of over two thousand mill
lions of dollars mainly because of
gambling influences, stocks which
are real property dissipate only less
rapidly than those which were mere
ly ''water," and therefore disappear
ed like vapor.
Perhaps the most culpable, because
the most responsible, of the men who
have stimulated the gambling mania
are the bankers who supply the cap
ital without which these transactions
could not be carried through the ex-
change under the guise of transfers
of stock. These bankers know very
we'll that the business would be re-
garded by them as immoral and un-
sound if the profits were not so cap
tivating. Said one of them to a new
firm of brokers whose account he was
taking: "Whatever you do, don't
lay down on your bank in other
words: "When the day of disaster
overtakes you, protect your financia
partner from loss by laying down
on somebody else" Of greater sig
nifcance is the fact that stconserva
tive" bankers and brokers, who arr
eager to help others into the mazes d
Wall street, prefer to have their Gus
toners think it is rule of the firm
never to gamble on its own account

intimately acquainted with him have
learned to respect him for his probity,
his public spirit, his good sense and
his fidelity to friends and to the in
terest of the people. They have seen
that in public, as well as in private
spheres, his course has been honor
able, his career successful and while
they are personally gratified at this
expressed appreciation of the district
they believe that the interests of TIT
people, the, district and the countr,
