How The Wind Blows.

The New York correspondent of the Bal
timore Morning Herald under date of Sep
TENDER 20 says By far the most logical
argument is made by Mr.. Joseph X. Hickey,
of Missouri, who is at the st. James. Mr.,
Hickey is a sporting man. He bets to make
money, and he has S., 900 to put on Cleveland.
He says that he does not bet for sentiment,
but to make money, and he thinks that Cleve-
lands is the winning side.
When asked upon what he based his
prophecy of Cleveland election he said: "My
reasons are many. In the FIRST place, Samuel
J. Tiden had an axiom that party in power
is % per cent. better off than the party not
in power. If Cleveland could win four years
ago with an administration against him how
can he lose now? That is the practical way
to look at the matter. Now everything is in
his favor. Four years ago the Democrats of
New York city we're disunited, and Grant, the
candidate for sheriff, received more than 49,
600 more votes than Cleveland. Now that
condition of affairs is changed. l will make
repeated bets of $500 to 81 900 that Cleveland
will carry New York, Indiana, New Jersey
and Connecticut. | believe, and not from
idle rumor, that there will be political rev.
olution in the Northwest and | consider
Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, Michigan and Wis
consin all debatable states. Eight years ago
Iowa gave Garfield over 10000 majority, and
four years ago bet 1000 it would not give
Blaine 5000 majority and it didn't. This
may all seem wild talk, but my money talks
exactly as do
Young Phil Armour was in Browns noted
chop house last night, and offered 10 bet
S., 900 on Harrison. and Mr.. Hickey promptly
covered it and Armour backed down. Then
Mr.. Hickey offered 5000 to $1,000, but Mr..
Armour had no sand. Mr.. Rickey's money
is still un and he wants takers.

Florida, but you need not tell any one for
most people are afraid Of it, hpt down here
we do not feel any nneaslness. True, they
have had good many cases in Jacksonville,
but death rate of 10 per cent. would not IN
dictate such fatal plague. We have heard
that Prof r. A. Proctor died of the fever in

cases in the country. Ho.fF
