or with $4,000 Ia his hands, paraded the
art gallery of the Hoffman House taunt-
ing the assembled Democracy TO bet,
while Billy Edwards tried To induce Ed
ward Murphy TO come or send down
stairs and take them up.
An hour iater-it was rumored that Mr..
Whitney had in the meantime intervened
Mr.. Edwards announced that he had
placed these bets for Mr.. Murphy. not
with the Republican representatives, but
with the following named gentlemen: Al
Hayman. theatrical manager, $1,000; r.
Walbaum, bookmaker, Democratic poll
tician and head of the Guttenburg Big
Four" sl00 600: Ed. Wheelock. book maker.
$4,000, and Mr.. Dunn, bookmaker, $1,000.
There were two significant points
about these bets. One was that Fred
Walbaum bet against his party, and the
other that Mr.. Hahn. who az soon as he
heard that the much talked OF Demo
cratic money had at last arrived and set
out I'm quest of il. could not be obliged
with a dollars worth.
These facts set the rumor afloat about
hotel corridors that the bets with the
bookmakers at least were sham. The
motions of making them were, however,
certainly gone through with In the Hoff

AFTER THE GOVERNOR.
Lieut. Gov. Halle Dovotes Most of HIS
Remarks Answering Gov. Russell.

Lieut. Gov. Halle Dcvotes Most of His
Remarks Answering Gov. Russell.
LAWRENCE, Mass, Nov. "a Republic
can rally, last evening, presided over by
James II. Eaton, was addressed by Lieut..
Gov. Halle. Mr.. Halle devoted most OF
his remarks to answering Gov. Russsl's
claim that the executive council ham
pered him and usurped the powers OF
his excellency. .
Said he: In the past two ysars the
members of the council have felt obliged
TO object to few appointments. They
used their constitutional powers in the
interest of the people and public service.
Last years controversies were all given
to the public in the press and on the
platform, and as Gov. Russell's plurality
fell of $500 and the Lieutenant govern
or's increased 5000, IL looks as IL the peo-
pie sustained the latter.
This year, although considerable dis
cussion has been made, there has bee.
only one case, that of a savings bank
commissioner. He was capable, honest,
had rendered good service, and his re-
moval would be a lowering OF civil SER
vice, and the council used its constitu-
tional right in rejecting the nominee and
keeping q good man in Office. The coun-
ciuors believe they would be false TO
their oaths II they did not use their con-
stitutional right. The other spea kers
were ex- Gov. Boutwell, and Charles II.
Litchman.

The Great Chicago Telescope.

CLEVELAND, O., Nov. "a cable mes
sage has been received here by Warner
and Swartxym, makers OF the great Lick
telescope, from Paris, stating that 1t
would take IS months to manufacture
necessary glass for the discs for the
Yerkes telescope for the University OF
Chicago. The University of California
refused to part with its Inch discs
which are in Cam bridge, Mass, to the
Chicago University, so Mr.. Yerkes is
ordering material for 45-inch discs. II
will thus be two years before the Chicag o
telescope can be completed.
