after an illness of about fifteen months
His disease was characterized by the ply

education at private schools, and gradual

1S49 he, with MS two brothers. was taken

A New York special says: "There was

The betting on the genaral results of The

that Cleveland would be the next Presi-
dent taking all the bets that he could get
ON the event, but Republican money was
scarce. To-nigh, Edward Kearney, one Of
the sachems of Tammany Hall, bet $4,000
that Cleveland would be elected, and The
money was put up with the proprietor o.
Hoffman House. The most significant fact
IA connection with the betting is that
large sums of money have been telegraph
ed here within the last few days by par
ties in Chicago, with Instructions to bet
it on Cleveland. Ninety seven thousand
dollars was received by one gent'e,'en in
Wall street from that city to-day for that
purpose. Inquiry disclosed the fact that

An anti Blaine republican, of Ohio, who
arrived in Washington from that safe
on Monday, where he has been looking
into the situa,i ion, said that he did not
think the republicans could carry The State
in the coming election. He said that he
had talked with large number of leading
Germans, republicans and democrats, and
was convinced that there is an extensive
and increasing sentiment among them an
tagonis,ic to hi line and the republican
machine in the State. He SAYS that even
Butterworth. who is probably the strong
est MN the Republicans could have put
up f,r Congress in that district, is rapidly
losing ground in Cincinnati, uatil il seems
as if his election over Fo'lett would be i'm
possible The Germans and the anti-pro-
hibitionists throughout the safe, he said
have gotten the impression that Robert
son, the republican candidate for secretary
sympathizes with the prohibitionists, and
a bitter opposition to him has sprung up
in consequence. The prominent name on
ticket, Judge Johnson, for the supreme
bench is also violently opposed on account
OF his connection with the Scott liquor
law. Blaine's presence, however, he said
would do some good probably, and money
of which the stare committee has none
will be put into the fight by the eastern
managers. But there is AN antagonism
here again between these managers and the
State committee, who feel everything has
been taken out of their hands

A Bosom correspondent gives sketch
of Mr.. Mulligan of Muligan letter fame
1t says that Mr.. Mulligan is we'll known in
Boston as business man of the highest
integrity and undisputed veracity. He has
held many positions of high trus', the du-
ties of which he has always discharged
with rigid exactness and integrity. He is
bachelor of considerable means and of
frugal and me'hodical habits, who is held
in the highest esteem by the business COM
munity of Boston. He came in possession
of the Blaine-F correspondence as
trustee in Bankruptcy of the Fisher estate,
and has only been induced to make them
public from a sense of conscientious duty
to the country.

for the presidency, in his formal letter OF
acceptance. not unnaturally insists that the
only issue worthy of consideration in the
present canvass is that which he represents

and the only question which seems to en-.
ter into the canvass between the Democra.
tic and Republican parties, aside from
campaign ISLANDERS, is that cf protection
True protection, he thinks, to American
industries as well as to- American homes
is to be found in. the suppression of the
liquor traffic, to which he traces the stag
nation in trade, business failures, bank
suspensions, and last, but not least, the low
price of wheat. All these things, he be
lleves, would be cured by the triumph o
prohibition principles.

Mr.. Mulligan will soon give to the pub
lie another installment of the correspon-

rem Fisher, the Boston broker. One of
these letters it is said will make such grave
disclosures regarding the ex-Speaker's
business transaction" with Mr.. Fisher,
that Boston paper says that the Plumed
knight will have "to leave the country by
the next steamer" after its publication
Referring to this matter the New York
Times remarks that, while its Boston con-
temporary may not by any means have
overrated the damning force of the forth
coming letter, that it has seriously overrated
the toughness of the good Knights hide
The Times thinks that, should the viola
lation of every commandment of the deca-
logue be conclusively proved upon the
cheyalier from Maine, that he would still
chivalrously maintain that nothing had
been shown inconsistent with the "highest
honor and integrity.

Muligan Letters. The next day, June II

Some of Blaine's friends in Washington
are Boosting that Jay Gou'd and several
of his fellow jobbers have promised to
make. in short time, large contribution
to the campaign fund. In return for this
It is understood that Mr.. Blaine promises
if elected President, to use bis influence to
secure a repeal of the Thurman funding
act, under which the Pacific railroads are
required to pay their long accruing indebt-
edness to the government. Blaine oppos-
ed with all his power while member Of
the Senate the passage of this act, and it
would therefore be entirely consistent for
him to advocate its repeal. The Union
Pacific Railroad owes now to the govern
ment nearly $12 ,OO0.O 900, and is resisting
the payment by all possible means, com
polling the government to 60 into courts.
If Mr. Blaine should be elected the COM
pany would depend on his favor to escape
payment altogether. Another enterprise
in which che will prove no deadhead.'
