anything more than temporary. Should Mr..

THE BETTING ARGUMENT.

Less Inclination to Risk Money-The Drift
of Opinion Favors Republicans.
epec.ai to the indianapolis Journsa
WASHINGTON, Oct 2l.-While the city OF
Washington is usually OF the foremost
places in the country in the matter OF election
bets, there have been comparatively few wagers
laid here this year, and as the campaign pro-
crosses and crows hotter the people with money
on its result become rarer. A well-known sport
ing man, who has quite large sum of money
wacered On Cicveland's success. said last night
that he had no more money to offer at present.
This gentleman has not only been betting
money himself, but has placed large sums for
friends: and his statement not only
indicates his own ideas but the
ideas OF his clientage. The reason.
he says, 10 that the New York mayoralty mud
die has introduced such large element OF un-
certainty into the political situation that until
it is Strengthened out be will not bet auy more
money on Cleveland. This also represents the
feeling of the betters whose money he handles.
and who have already backed Cleveland hesvi-
ly. The book-makers' odds are perhaps the best
guide to the relative strength of the two can
dida,es, as these men bet for a living and look
at the political situation calmly from purely
business point Of view. Lynn & Wall
are the only book-makers who are
making hook on the election.
The odds they were Offering yesterday were
even money against Harrison, which is quito
change from the Sll0 to slc0 they were Offering
few days since; $50 TO 500 against Clevsland;
even money that Harrison carries Indiana; s75
to 500 that New York State goes Republican,
Sl20 to 500 that Connecticut goes Republican.
These figures indicate very considerable de-
cline in Cleveland stock, at least far as this
