In political circles tonight Mr. Qusy's
emphatic action was the subject OF uni-
yersAl discussion. Ii seemed to have caused
CONSERVATION among several OF the down
town leaders. IL is authoritatively reported
tonight that several arrests will be made in
couple OF days. The Democratic buffers
about the ST. James Hotel and the Hoh-
man House are being accommodated in .
manner that makes them positively weary.
They have been Offering To bet big sums on
Clsveland's success, and already two takers
have come promptly 10 the scratch and put
the cash up on $4,000 wsgers, much TO the
disgust OF the parties who made the oilers,

which they had been placed. Tonight they
were caught again and compelled TO toe
the mark.
John L. Hill. of Philadelphia and Capt.
Connors, OF the St. James Hotel,
posted $500 forfeit last night with
Billy Edwards. agreeing 10 meet tonight TO
cnoose stake holders. Hill, who is an
ardent, earnest Harrison man, arrived here
promptly AZ $50 this evening and asked
that the wager be.tilled. Capt. Connors said
he was betting the money of the Dwyers
Brothers and they were not ready, but Hill
was persistent his $40 900 was in hand and
at 40 the Democrats raised a certified
check at John Days and
he was made the stake holder.
IL was brought out in investigating
this bet that this money, as well as the two
cshef tsn-fhonssnd. dollar wagers that Dave
Gideon bet with Edwards. and that johnnie
Allan bet with the same party, was supplied
by Bill Scott, of Pennsylvania. Scott told
the Dwyers that he would stand any posi-
bic losses they might bear TO meet these
even Harrison bets. The hitch tonight was
due to their doubt whether they had better
play third ten-thousand without seeing
