AS the official returns slowly come in,
hundreds of election bets are being
paid. 1t is estimated that about 100000
changed hands in indianapolis, and one
of the best posted betting men in the
state, who participated actively in the
campaign, estimates that not less than
$1,000, 600 was wagered on the presiden-
tial issue in the state of Indiana. Local
Democrats are consoled by winning right
smart sums from enthusiastic Repub-
licans on this (MariOn) county, which
went for Cleveland by a plurality of
37S. This is also the season when the
wheelbarroW better is seen trundling
along with indignant face and crowd
OF h0odlums guying him. Chairman j.
n. Huston returned from his home at
Connorsville to-day fresh from the ova-
tions rendered him by his home friends,
which was one of the most fiattering re-
cent recOgnitlonS ever paid to any cam
paign manager. Not less than 10000
people enthusiastically greeted him. the
demonstration concluding at night in
grand ratification meeting, at which he
WAS the central figure.
