Mr.. Chauncey NJ. Depew spoke at
Jamestown, n. Y, last night in reply
TO Mr.. Cleveland's speech on the i'm
proper use of money in elections. MIR.
Depew said both parties are guilty, but
that the democrats are raising more OF
it this year than their opponents.
Reports were received at democratic
national headquarters in New YORK
Yesterday from the democratic State
committee of Indiana which say that
there is no longer any doubt that Cleve-
land will carry the State by from 6,ooo
to 10000 majority. This calculation Is Is
based on returns from captains OF all
the election districts in the State.
Mr.. C. Il. Pierson, chairman of the
peoples party State committee, OF tlr-
ginia. denies that his committee has
sent out Harrison electoral tickets. All
of the tickets issued by his committee,
Chairman Pierson declares, bear only
the names of Weaver and Field. with
those of the populist congressman: The
republicans, Mr.. Pierson does not doubt,
have put the names of the peoples par
ty candidates for Congress on their cleo
toral tickets and sent them all through
the State.
The Hoffman House. in New York,
was crowded last night and for time
the betting was lively. Fifty thousand
dollars of democratic money was left
there early in the evening to bet even
on the general result OF this. $50 ,N0
was taken al II O'Clock. The betting
on the State of New York continues to
be decidedly in favor OF Cleveland.
Ten to six was freely offered at the
Hoffman last night that Cleveland
would carry the State, with practically
no takers. Finally a bet of $4,000 to
s., 1000 was made on that State in favor
of Cleveland. The democratic bettors
are also offering 10 to that Cleveland
will carry Indiana.
Mr.. VIM. F. Harrity, chairman ofthe
national democratic committee, says
the republicans have given up all hope
of carrying New York. All the demo-
cratic leaders of the interior counties OF
New York were in New York city yes
terday in consultation with Chairman
Edward Murphy, jr., and Lieut.-Gov.
Sheehan, who is in charge of the CAM
paign in the State. The reports they
brought from the counties north of the
city line were all of an encouraging
character, and when they had all been
submitted the democratic leaders reit-
Grated their former assertion that the
State is sure for Cleveland by majori-
ty ranging from 80, 900 to 10000.
Senator David B. Hill spoke at the
Opera House, Port Jervis, n. y, yester-
day afternoon to large audience. The
question of federal taxation, he said, is the
dominant issue of the campaign;also that
the tariff on farm products is Il mockery
1t does the farmer no good. The dem
ocrats propose not free trade, but a
moderate tariff revision. Abiding to
Commissioner Peck's report, Senator
Hill said II have not found that mon
strosity, that man whose wages have
been increased by the Mckinley bill.
Wages are higher here than in Europe
because Of the superior skill and intclli-
gence of our artisans and of our trade
organizations. l challenge our republic

At the national republican headquarters in
New York last night circular was issued
saying Confidence reigns supreme at rcpubli-
can headquarters and the managers of the
campaign will no longer admit of a doubt Of
the election of Harrison and Reid" The DEM
ocrats ridiculc the circular. Messri Harrty,
Whitney and German are all confident that
victory is assured for Cleveland and Steven
son. and they will not lose it by default on
their part On the result in New York the
betting went down TO 10 to . in favor of
Cleveland. 1t is said the national democratic
committee has sent $4,000 to Virginia.
