The first big bet of the canvass has
been made at Dubuque, To-, where a
converted Republican farmer is re-
ported to have deposited $1,000 on the

recently appeared in the New York

w. j. Arkell, the editorial manager of
Judge, says with half threat, which he

the existing situation, that unless as
strong protectionist as Mr.. Blaine! IS

The Democratic organ of Indianapolis,
the Sentinel, said in recent issue that
while Indiana Democrats would pre-

enough details yet to permit fine calcu-
latlons as to any change in public senti-
ment there or Whereabouts, if there has
been such change.
