minutes.
Senator Bayard was introduced by
Hon. Allen g. Thurman in a neat and
complimentary speech. He referred to
the time when the party had such small
minority in the Senate. II all the voters
worked together now they would succeed
In getting good government. He believed
thst one-half the Republicans did not
think Hayes and Wheeler were elected.
He traced the workings Of the Repub-
licAn party for the last "a years, and in
the convention showing that Blaine's,
nomination was natural and logical ont
come OF 1t, He referred to Carl Sohurx In
complimentary manner, and claimed the

working with the backing Of monopolies
for Blaine but with the rising up Of the
masses, he believed the Democratic prin-

sounded in the heart Of the city, came
near producing panic. One fire was on
the roof Of the Times Building, caused by
fireworks, and some CONSERVATION ensued,
but fortunately no one was hurt. Mr..
Sohurz was not present, and hundreds Of
people were disappointed. he will be

read from prominent Democrats and
independent Republicans pledging oo-
operation in the effort to keep the coun-
try from being disgrsoed by such man
as Blaine for President.
Cleveland to Hon. Allen g. Thurman was
| read:
My DEAR SIR: l very much regret that
pressure of official duties will prevent my
| Joining you at the meeting to be held in
| columbus on the 25th inst. 1 hope the meet
| ing will be complete success, and that 1t will
| be the means of increasing the enthusiasm
| already aroused for the cause of good govern
ment. l believe that the voters OF the
| country are fully alive to the necessity Of in
i stalling an administration OF public affairs
which shall be truly their own, not because
| it Is the result of their choice, but because
| its selected instrumentalities are directly
i from the body of the people and impressed
with the peoples thoughts and sentiments.
| They are tired, think, OF rule 30 long con-
/ tinued that il has bred and fostered
| cal action, and whose interest in affairs end
| with partisan zeal and advancement Of per-
| sonal advantage. Let me remind the people
that il they seek to make their public ser
wants feel their direct responsibility to them
and careful of their interests, their objects
| will not be accomplished by blinded adherence
to party which has grown arrogant with
| long continued power. Let me impress upon
| the people that the issue involved in the
| pending canvass is the establishment of
pure and honest administration Of their gov
ernment. Let me show them way to this,
devised effort to lead them into other paths
of irrelevant discussion. With these con-
| siderations before them and with an earnest
presentation Of our claims TO the confidence
of the people and Of their responsibility We
need not fear the result Of their intelligence.
Yours, very truly,
| GROVER CLEVELAND.
To ALLAN G. THURMAN.
BETTING ON CLEVELAND.
A New York special of Friday says
There wSs --rAAI deal Of betting in this
city to-day on the election, and Clsse,epd
is daily growing in favor with the betting
men. The betting on the general result
of the election is even, while the odds
are 81, 900 to $3.50 in favor of carrying
this state. To-day Addison Commack,
the well known Wall street broker, bet
$37, 200 that Cleveland would be the next
President, taking all the bets that he
conld get on the event, but Repub-
loan money was soarce. Tonight
Edward KeArney, one Of the sachems OF
Tammany Hall, bet 80, 900 that Cleveland
would bs elected, and the money was put
up with the proprietor of the Hoffman
House. The most significant fact in con-
neotion with the betting ia that large
: sums OF money have been telegraphed
here within the last few days by parties
: in Chicago, with instructions to bet IL on
J Cleveland. Ninety. seven Thousand dol
lars Wss received by one gentleman in
Wall street from that city to-day for tina,
purpose. Inquiry disoloses the fact that
most OF this money was sent here by
grain speculstors, many of whom are Re
publiosns, and whose Judgment lie based
{. upon what they know OF the situation ir
the western and northwestern states.
