BETTING LAST NIGHT.
Lots Of money was bet last night on
the result, and the sum awaiting the
decision of the voters to-day is in the
aggregate, very large. Several bets Of
500 even on PcndletOn and Hubbard
were made, and the smaller sums
wagcred were numberlesS. There was
also some betting on the result in Penn
Sylvania, in McKinlcV's district, and on
the result OF the big fight in New York
City, between Grant, the Tammany can
ddate for Mayor, and Scott, represent
ing the coalition. Republicans were
very gay during the day, flashing their
money around on the Congressional re-
suit, but last night they weakened when
Invited to come up to the scratch, and
their bluffs did not 60 when the Demo-
cratic money was forthcoming, at least
IN the majority of instances.

eighteen months, were observed. Near
ly a hundred were glass house boys and
mill men, working in Ohio towns or in
Pittsburg. and the remainder OF the
total were scattered over half the

WHAT \ CLERGYMAN SAYS.
We are requested to publish the fol-
lowing from a clergyman:
Prices are rising. This is coming TO
be so well known that not even polit-
ical stump speaker darcS to deny IL.
But he says that the whole country Is
richer. and very soon every
body will have become so rich, that the
higher prices can be paid much more
easily than the lower have been. That
is. the farmer, who has buShel OF pota-
toes to sell. will get a third more for
them. and so he can afford to pay the
merchant third more for a yard OF
cloth. 1t might be difficult for some
weak minded people to see how
both Of these parties are to grow much
richer: and even IL might be
that, with this rise OF prices,
those who have the least to sell will be
the losers: yet, however II may be, what
IF those who have Ouly money to eX-
.hange for goods? VIII their money
rise in value? All trade IS only eX-
.hange. no matter whether one party
las merchandise and the other silver
money. or whether both have merchan-
lise. VIII money rise In value as goods

rom? How is the man who has
no goods 10 exchange for ii, going to
get? If he gets it, some one must give
d to him. Is that going to make |
he whole richer? "But his labor,

change. aud so he will get more money.
But has any one heard Of labor being

ny il were, what would be the beneiitto

for goods than the man with /

have been low. have by the closest
economy contriycd To get along without
falling in debt? When will the goods
