Reliable information has been OBJ
tanned at the democratic headquarters
in Charlottesville that a combine has
been effected between the republicans

talkwas plenty and animated. Still what
bets were made were big. Michael +.

horses, made the largest bet ofthc cam
pign so far. He waged $4,000 against

said yesterday II have left $50, 900 at
the fremont House in Boston to be bet

amount that Governor Russell will be
reelected in Massachusetts,. From all
the information which l have been able
to gather am satisfied that Cleveland

may desire to put up"
The republicans continued their
force bill tactics in Richmond yester-
day and arrested two more democrats.
The parties are H. II. Wilkins, regis
trar in Monroe ward, and William
Mosely, a challenger in the same pre-
cinct. Wilkins is charged with refus-
ing to place the name of a colored man
on his books on Saturday last. There
were good reasons for believing that
the man who presented himself was
not a qualified voter, and hence the ac-
cused declined to accept his name.
NIosely is charged with completely in
securing the rejection of the negro's
name. Both of these men were arrest
cd upon warrants sworn out before a
United States commissioner. Their
cases were sent on to the grand jury Of
the federal court.

night says 1.-THE day which is just one
week before the Presidential election
finds the republican managers on the
eve of panic, in spite of their cam
paign of bluff and Doodle, and finds the
democratic managers confident of vic
tory and ready to force the fighting
from this time on without a single lull.
