Special Dispatch TO Tho Appeal
NEW YORK, Oct. 20.-I am In position TO
know that the Democratic chances of sue
cess are very much better in this Iresi-
dental campaign than they were four
years ago when Cleveland was elected.
Nothing can defeat us, and nothing can
carry any doubtful" State for Repub-
licans MOI some Of their iorn er aront-
holds except the weakness our own
people, the relaxing Of their efforts in the
last stages Of the campaign, or their ina
bllity TO cope with the immense sums of
money raised by the bonelciaries Of pro-
tecled monopolies.
The two great parties have at last mar.
shaled til cir hosts at this point, and the
battle is ON in earnest. Business OF all
kinds is laid aside for once, even at the ex-
changes. There may be seen hoary-
headed old brokers wrestling with the
spirit OF Democracy which has taken pos
session Of the breasts OF majority OF the
younger members, while in some cases
= may be seen old versus old and again
young versus young. All Of this argument
winds up the same way; that is with q
wager, and in no instance is IL more than
'evon money. Al the Produce exchange
today number Of bets were made, as fol.
low $3.50 10 $3.50, 500 TO 500, two of
$500 TO $500, while one was made Just at
the door Of $1,000 TO $1,000, and
all that Cleveland would carry New
York. As there was no trouble
10 find Harrison hackers Il is easy 10 see
that both sides are buoyani and hopeful.
AZ the Stock and Cotton exchanges bets
were being freely made at the same odds.
At the downtown pool rooms there was
no slate, but "the boys" had money 10
lay on Cleveland in private bets OF $1,000
10 5000. A few bets were booked at this
rate; while at the uptown rooms money
was 10 be found on the same basis There
II no great rush TO find investors, for both
sides have money, and 10 losc, though In
the matter Of bets in sums Of $50 TO s4O0
against like amounts the Democrats seem
10 have decidedly the best following.
Around the Hoffman are many, very
many, Republicans who talk ''Sj TO S25,.
900, all Of which Is for bluff, as the bet
uHg luta ~ W NItAtt lHt IMPRESSION tnat
they believe just that strongly in their
ticket--a sort Of 'whistling TO keep up
courage" expresses IL. for should they
split their piles u great many takers
would come In. The Hrdlfs work in
stirring up Tho masses Is bearing fruit. and
has awakened the people as they have
never been aroused before Mr.. Hewitt
will be buried now and ioreycrmore. aud
our Irish friends will remind Mr.. Blaine
OF bis remarks In 1884 and Of his actions
In 1887 while in Ireland. This last part Of
his proceedings has decided them TO re-
SJrNs once aud for all "the American
nobility" Of which Mr.. Blaine il "thc nm
crowned king" We safely conclude that
"the men In the bitches" will preserve
the Union; that Union which was welded
at Appomnttox and since male stronger
by Mr. Cleveland, who by his splendid !
financicring carried Us through crisis
last September such ~ few men can now
look back upon without the feeling which |
they then felt Of impending disaster.
"Groyer Cleveland will be our next Prcsi.
dent by larger electoral vote than any
President who has yet entered the White
house," such Is the opinion at national
headquarters and such will be the verdict
at the polls November q. j. H. X.
