Betting on the Election.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.l

Some months ago the New York
Times published series of reports
exhibiting the state of the betting in
different portions Of the country on
the Presidential election. 1t appear
ed that there was then very little bet
ting going on, but to the surprise of
many persons the odds both in New
York and New England, where the
Independent movement was deemed
strongest, seemed to be in favor of
Blaine. At that time Tammany Hall
had not Endorsed Cleveland, there
were other and numerous malcon-
tents, aud West Virginia was, by
many Democrats, regarded as doubt
full. In short, up TO three or four
weeks ago there was quite tone of
dependency prevalent in Democratic
circles. But great change has come
about. West Virginia has passed
from the category Of doubtful States,
and now no Southern State is regard
ed as having the slightest element OF
doubt about its vote being cast for
Cleveland. No Republican here is
willing to hazard his money ON any
Southern State. In New York Tam
many Hall has ratified the nomina-
ton, and there is fair prospect OF
nearly full party vote for Cleveland,
reinforced by numerous accessions
from the Independents and German
element. The Irish element for
Blaine is discovered to amount to
nothing practically in New York OF
elsewhere.
The fruits of this changed condi.
ton of affairs is apparent in the re-
ports of the betting printed to-day by
the Times. There is a good deal OF
money up. In Philadelphia the odds
are even on the general result, and
the Democrats are betting freely. In
Baltimore the Democrats are putting
up money even on New York and the
general result. Betting is even at
Buffalo, but the Democrats seem TO be
offering the money. In Boston there
is nothing doing. AT Cleveland
Blaine is the favoritc, and it is alleg.
cd that he is also at Indianapolis
but at Detroit, Chicago, st. Louis and
Milwaukee Cleveland is the favorite,
In New York City the odds seem now
to be in favor of Cleveland, and it is
evident that the Democrats are Offer
ing their money more freely than
their opponents.
The change in the tide is indeed re.
markable. This change is especially
noteworthy in reference to Ohio
When Blaine first landed in Ohio the
Republicans confidently claimed 90
900 majority in October and upward.
They were probably sincere in ex-
pecting result there which would
create boom sufficient to carry New
York, New Jersey, Indiana, Wiscon-
sin and Michigan. But in few days
the Republican leaders reduced their
Ohio estimate from 10000 to 10000.
They have now come down to 5000 or
5000, but would be most happy il
they could be really sure Of any ma
jority, however small.

JOHN MCCULLOUGH,
EMINENT ACTOR, Now BROKEN Down

The many admirers of John Nc
Cullough deeply regret his inability
to appear on the stage. His powers
entirely failed him at Chicago, few
days ago, when he appeared at Nc
Vickers Theatre in The Gladiator
1t is hoped that the rest enforced by
the cancclling of his engagements for
the present season, will be the means
Of his restoration to health.
By manv persons Mccullough is
considered to be the greatest Amerl-
can actor since Edwin Forrest, whom
he succeeding as the leading actor
of the country in heroic parts. lie
was born in Ireland, November %,
1896. His father was farmer. lie
came to this country when lad, and
at eighteen years of age made his
first appearance, as Thomas in The
Bellies Stratagem, at the Arch Street
Theatre, Philadelphia. After serv-
ing a number of other engagements,
he became leading man in the compa-
ny supporting Edwin Forrest, and an
earnest student of the parts perform
cd by that actor. When Forrest died
in 1872, he left Mccullough his plays.
Two years previously to that date,
our subject undertook the manage
ment of the California Theatre, San
Francisco. lie introduced Modjeska
to the American public while hold
ing this position. After leaving Cal
ifornia he starred the country with
great success. His health began to
decline about two years ago. At the
beginning of the session of l8S3-S4
it was in bad condition, but the
actor rallied to his work and perform
ed 10 the end of his engagements
with an ability he had never surpass
ed. His first engagement this fal
was at Milwaukee, where he gave ut
indications of the collapse of hi.
powers but at Chicago, to which Ii,
next proceeded, the strain was too
great for him, and he broke down
The latest accounts afford hope tina
he will be able,at future time,to re-
new the qualification with which
his performances arc always re
ceived.

EvANrT1JLE, IND.
EVANSVILLE, Oct. q, 1884.

IfANSNlLLE, Wv. W AOOh'
Hon. Jos. L. Mcdonald spoke at
Evans Hall Friday night to large
and enthusiastic audience. The pro-
cession was indeed a grand One-the
largest and most enthusiastic of the
campaign. There WAS fully l5OO III
the parade, and there would have
been many more but for the lack of
torches and uniforms. 1t was ac-
c)mpanied by two bands, and the
crowd upon The streets, eager TO see
the display, was simply immense.
The carriage with the distinguished
ex-senator was i'll the lead, escorted
by the Mcdonald Club. The, Flambeau
Corps brought up the rear and used
their fireworks to good advantage.
Quite number oftransparents were
to be seen, such as, "Remember the
fraud of 49," "Dorsey'S money wont
carry Indiana this time" and many
others. Occa sionally the Democratic
Rooster was to be seen perched upon
the top of long pole, where he
seemed to be growing for victory.
There was quite number of boniires
OH the sheels, and many Of the hous-
es along the line of march were nicely
illuminated. But the most attrac-
tive feature of the parade, to us at
least, was the young ladies of the 4tll
Ward Glce Club. But tine-looking
ladies are always attractive to Ken
tuckian. They were handsomely and
appropriately dressed for the occa-
sion. They were in glce wagon
drawn by four fine grey horses. The
campaign songs they treated the
crowd to where simply splendid.
Long before the procession had
stopped the hall was full to over
flowing and the majority of the l5O(
that were in the parade were com
PEELED to stay OH the outside.
The speech was not long but every
word was to the point and seemed Il
carry conviction to the hearers. The
voice of the speaker was oitel
drowned by the applause of the au
dience. When the 40 ladies came in
and took their seats upon the plat
form the Senator said something
about the embarrassing situation, but
the tremendous applause given the
ladies seemed TO relieve him entirely
Of his embarrassment. The meeting
broke up with the singing of two
campaign songs by the Glee Club
Taken altogether the demonstration
was u grand success and has thrown
quite damper over the enthusiasm
of our Republican friends.

For Lafloon, Christian, 500; Hop.

Both sides are claiming Hancock

Clay by 200, which is an exceedingly
liberal estimate. If Laffoon should
carry one of those counties his ma

They should leave Gen. A. NJ. West
