with good deal of confidence. One gem
tieman, Butler man, by the way, author-
lZed the HerGtd 10 put any part OF $1,000
on the Republican candidate. and stated
the offer was not taken. Another gentle,
man stands ready to stake 800 to ST5. to
almost any amount ON Blaine The other
day 4 bet of 81 600 to $500 was made on
Blaine. Al offer of 800 against SlO0 was
taken that Cleveland does not carry Il State
outside of the Solid South The same is
true at Buffalo, where, in one instance. it is
shown that 4 Democratic politician has
$4,000 IN bank to back Blaine with. Some
even bets have been made, however. at
other places. The betting is even on the
general result, although side-bcttng on

ranged at Middleton's and Kelly Il Bliss
from 100 to 50 for Blaine to win. with little
disposition to show money at this stage of
the campaign. 4 San Francisco special
