THE CAMPAIGN,
What the Betting m en- think Of tn
Situation.

What the Betting Men think Of the
Situation.
A good deal of money will change
hands in this city when the election il
over, and for the last couple of days pub
lie books have been made on the event
The quotations made-on Tuesday are az
| follows:
Even money on Cleveland for the gen.
eral result.
One hundred dollars to eighty dollars
that Harrison carries California.
Even money that Cleveland carries
New Jersey.
One hundred dollars to ninety dollars
that Harrison carries Connecticut.
One hundred dollars to seventy dollars
that Harrison carries Michigan.
Even money that Cleveland carries In
diana.
Even money that Cleveland carries
New York.
Even money that Hill polls more votes
than Gle eyeland in New York State.
Even money on T. E. Rowan for
Sheriff.
Five to four that Hugh Grant is the
next Mayor of New York.
YESTERDAYS BETTING.
The betting switched little yesterday
and at the close of the day the boards
read as follows:
Even money on Harrison for the gen.
eral result.
One hundred dollars to ninety dollars
that Harrison carries Indiana.
One hundred dollars to eighty dollars
that Cleveland carries New Jersey.
One hundred dollars to sixty dollars
that Harrison carries Michigan.
Two hundred dollars to one hundred
and seventy-fve that Aguirre is the next
Sheriff of Los Angeles county.
A bet of $25 to $50 was also recorded
that Harrison carries New York by
10000.
When questioned as to how the betting
was going, Mr.. Rodman said that good
deal has been put up on the contest for
Sheriff and also on the general result
The betting men are, however, fighting
shy of the States both here and in New
York. The prices quoted, with the ex-
ception of the local contest, are those
bulletined Yesterday in the pool rooms in
New York City.

THE GREAT FAKE"
The his0n .Sackvillc
COrrespOn denCe.

OAAOOP
EDITORS HERALD-From the first 1
didn't doubt that Lord Sackville was Just
as culpable in the transparent trick to
injure Cleveland and help Harrison as
the infamous criminal who wrote the
Murchison letter was. How can any
sane perGon entertain an honestly differ
ent opinion? The British Governm ent
and people are clearly in favor of Harri-
sons election from palpable interest.
England will be injured by the revision
Of our tariff laws as proposed by the
Mills bill. Mr.. Gladstone admits this
and no one will doubt his veracity. Then
there is the retaliation policy of the
President, which the British hate as the
"devil hates holy water" Then there is
the Chinese exclusion policy of the Pres
ident that the English dom like, because
it sounds the death knell of the profits of
their tramp steamships SO many years
engaged in the nefarious business of
transporting Coolies to this country to
supplant our own workmen. And then
the English hate the Irish and every
thing that savors of the Irish !;
and isn't it just little funny
that Harrison and the Republican
paaty including Blaine and Carnegie
hate ala these things just as the
British hate them. Then look at the
position of the nsturalized Englishmen in
the United States, and right here in Los
Angeles. At least nine-tenths of them
are for Harrison. In the face of these
plain facts will any sensible person init
mate that Lord 'Suckerville" was not in
the plot? Hardly, for to do 80 would be
contrary to all reason as no one could be
found willing to brand his Lordship a
greater fool than ever roamed over the
earth. His Lordship hates Cleveland
and everything Democratic in this country
and Cleveland knew it, and therefore
did not mince matters in summarily dis
missing his Lordship. How hard pressed
is the g. o.p. Why, leaders are ashamed
to identify the myth of the British Lion
Very we'll, this country will not be both
cred with the Republican party after No
vember 9th proximo. JOHN Coke.

THE GREAT ISSUE.
Pith and Point of the PO.
litical Battle.
THE PRESS AND PLATFORM
Democratic Doctrine on Tariff Re
form as Taught by the Great
Leaders East and West.

There is a peculiar significance in the
fact that the political prophets of both
parties now give New Jersey to Cleve-
land. Here is State which, in proper
ton to it's size, contains larger indus
trial population than any other State in
the Union. The hum of her factories is
heard all over her territory, and their
products are those which are enhanced
in price by the tariff. And yet it is
freely conceded that the Democrats will
carry the State on the tariff issue. The
Free Trade bugaboo is unmasked.- Bos-
ton Herald, (Ind.)
The. way representative Republicans
are falling into line and keeping step
With the Cleveland procession this year
is not more encouraging than it is re-
markable. The latest explosive an
nouncement of this kind is the accession
of Robert NJ Morse, Jr., prominent
Boston lawyer, to the ranks of the tariff
reformers. Mr.. Cleveland's solid honesty
will make thousands of Republican
votes for him that will not be heard of
until the ballots shall have been counted.
The outspoken seceders from the Re-
publican organization are a host, but
they are not one-tenth part of the con-
verts to tariff reform who will help to
swell the Democratic majority in Novem-
ber.-[ Philadelphia Record, Und.)
Under the head of "The Doubtful
States" the Philadelphia Times (Ind.)
devotes leading article to the present
political situation throughout the coun-
try. The Times does not believe that the
next President will need the vote of New
York to assure his election, because, as
the article assumes:
If General Harrison shall be elected
he will have electoral votes to spare
without New York, and if President
Cleveland shall be re elected, he will
not be likely to need either New York or
without the electoral votes of New York,
Connecticut, Indiana and West Virginia.
The Times classes the following as fair
ly doubtful States, that is, States whose
votes either way are quite in the range of
possibility:
California :......... sIMinnesota. ......... z
Illinois ............. 22 New Hampshire >. 1
Indiana In9s '....1S y Wsst Mew YGrk T2rain;.
Michigan ....".13 Wisconsin ............1I
The foregoing States will cast IA of
the 401 electoral votes, and at no cleo
tion since 1856 have so many States
been in any measure doubtful. We re-
gard New York, Connecticut, Indiana
and West Virginia as more likely to
vote for Cleveland than to vote for
Harrison, while the other States classed
as doubtful are more likely to vote for
Harrison than for Cleveland; but, it is
certainly within the range of reasonable
probability that nearly or quite all of
them NAV vote for either Clevaland or
Harrison, and the chances of such
nearly or quite united vote are to-day
about even between the two candidates.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-11-01
Liberty Against Monopoly.

The Herald very strongly desires the
success of the Democratic National ticket
the reelection of Mr.. Cleveland. As
an independent journal, it has no party
purposes to serve or guard. 1t looks to
the welfare of the whole country. Our
profound conviction is that the continu-
ance of the old Union, the perpetuity of
our system in the spirit of liberty and
equal rights on which it was based by it's
founders, is largely at stake in this cleo
ton. The Republican leaders stand for
policy which, not merely in relation to
taxation, but to other vitally important
questions, would essentially change, not
Immediately, perhaps, the form of our
Government, but insidiously and fatally
it's spirit, its policies and it's bearing up
on the masses of the people.
The Republican leaders are bent upon
consolidating the rule of plutocracy-an
aristocracy of mere wealth. All thela
they propose, all the policies, foreign as
we'll as domestic, which they favor and
defend, prove this. They are the cunning
friends of monopolies and trusts at home,
and of annexations and robbery abroad.
To return them to federal power would
put in their hands the means of carrying
out their unscrupulous designs, and while
in the end they might fail, yet they
would keep the Union in constant, mis-.
chievous turmoil, injurious to every hon
est industry and calling, and helpful
only to spectators and rascals of all
kinds.-[New York World.
A Case of Fraudulent RegistratiOn.
One George Gordon, a Republican,
from Philadelphia, arrested for fraudu-
lent registration, was recently indicted
by the Grand Jury, arraigned before
Judge Cowing in Part OF the Court of
General Sessions, and, upon his plea of
guilty, was sentenced to Imprisonment in
the State Prison for two years and six
months.
The emergency justifes and demands
this prompt and exemplary administra-
ton of justice. 1t is of vital Importance
to national as we'll as local interests
that the ballot-box be SO guarded
against fraud that there shall be
all that is possible of an assurance
of fair exercise of the elective fran
chise. That this man, detected and con-
victed Of step preparatory to illegal
voting, is Republican, may be properly
accepted in refutation OF the Republican
theory that their party is the purer in it's
politics and methods, theory, however,
which no one ever honestly entertained.
But to whatever party an offender
against the Election, laws may belong,
the crime is the same, and the punish
ment should be prompt and exemplary
in its severity. Let it be understood
that our courts, our prosecuting officials
and our ministers of justice generally are
united with the people in the determin-
alton to suppress all forms of outrage
upon the fundamental principle of our
government, the exercise Of the elective
franchise. IN. Y. News. sg sro

Tho French Ball.

Had stranger strolled into EdeP Hall
last night he might have imagined him
self in the green-room of variety theatre,
There were the leading ladies with dresses
cut extremely decollete from above, and
there were the coryphees with dresses cut
just as decollete from below. Several of
the fair guests reveled in the rare luxury
of tights, while the pretty blonde pages
were almost too numerous to mention.
The occasion was the annual French
ball. Those who came expecting
to view some saltatorial eccen,
triciiies were disappointed. Beyond
an occasional lapse into free and uncon-
yentional attitudes on the part of some of
those who had taken too much wine there
was nothing improper. One bright-eyed
page with a wealth of golden hair had
entered into q contest with a downy-
Tipped youth TO stow away as much liquid
as he did and she got rather the worst of
the contract. Considerable merriment
was caused by the flirtations of a good
looking young man who had donned
female attire and who created sad havoc
among the gray heads until the trick was
discovered

WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY.
Plea for the "Under Dog" in the Serv.
ant Girl ControversY.

A Plea for the "Under Dog" in the Serv-
ant Girl Controversy.
EDITOR CRITIC: Ben. Buffers favorite
poem, "The Under Dog" expresses,
think, the sentiment of almost all who are
neither mistress nor servant. For a short
time was connected with an employ
ment office-not in this city, but the
patrons OF. the offices are undoubtedly
very much the same the world over
and the knowledge gained there places
the servants on higher plane than the
mistress. 1t was rare thing for girl
not TO pay her fee, but it was q common
occurrence for the "lady" to
"beat" the agent, and as for
lying, though some of the help were
guilty of the vice, still they were not
deeper dyed than their employers. The
mistresses seemed very much addicted
to painting beautiful pictures of the light
work and easy times at their homes. But
the girl found hard work. And what if
some of the girls do wish to go in at the
front doorP l have seen more than one
girl who appeared better than her mis-
tress, and in fact was her superior. The
girl well knows this, and can you Won
der that she refuses to be made that
. which no enlightened nation holds-a
slave? The loudest-voiced and most un-
ladylike person ] came in contact with
while there was one of these "hifalutin
mistresses." THEo.
