BETTING in New York,

NEW YORK, Nov. 4 The betting
on the cleo tion is growing in interest.
1t is nothing like the plunging in
1883 and even in 1884, but con siderlng
the apathy which has preceded this
week OF enthusiasm, the betting may
be said TO fairly mirror public sent
ment. Many small bets were record
ed al the nOOl rooms at about even
money. Until with the last two days
practically no bets have been made.
The big New York sporting men,
like Appleby & Johnson, "Dick"
Roche, the three Mahoueys, Butch"
Thompson and Pat" Sheedy, nearly
all have been holding back until
today, when they began recording
their wagers. The largest offer was
by Frank HuntoOn, of the Hoffman
House Club, who offers to bet SO, 900
to $4,000 that Harrison would be
elected. 1t was said that Ed"
Stokes of the Hoffman house was
likely to take HuntOon. On the gen.
eral result the quotation now Is even
money, while on the result in New
York state 500 to $40 is about the
figure. Little betting is being done
on other states. A democratic lawyer
offered Ed 81 900 to 500 that Indiana
would go tor Cleveland and Steven
son. A well known republican poll
tician took him up. Edward holds o
bet of 81 900 TO pay 500 that Cleve-
land will carry New York state, and
one of $1,000 even on the general
result.
One of the most confident bets was
FnnnrfnH a No m m hal hainn Il -
600 to $3.50 by Lawyer H. Steiner
carry this state by more than 20, 900
J. G. Licher took the small end of the
bet. Another curious bet was the
land would not carry New York City
by 10000 more than in 1888. The same
bet 81 900 even on the result in the
state. The money in both cases was
put up in the hands of John GilrOy,
son of the democratic candidate for
mayor William F. Wakeman, gen.
eral secretary of the American Pro-
tective Tariff League, bet $500 on the |
general result in favor of Harrison at
the Fifth Ave. Hotel.
Conferences of the managers of the |
campaign are in progress today at the |
national headquarters of both par |
ties. The republican leaders are pre-
pairing for an important move in the |
western states to counterfeit, If possl- |
BILE, the effect of the fusion plan, |
which has now been successfully car |
ried out in all the western republican |
states, but Iowa. The announcement |
is also made that the peoples party |
has changed its tactics in the south, |
and is combining its struggle there to
the legislative districts with the hope |
of gaining a federal senatorship. 1t
is asserted here that an official i
circular has gone out from the
peoples party at National head
quarters instructlng leaders every
" here to trade and sacrifice every
thing for legislative gains. At both
repu blican and democratic headquar-
ters the campaign managers are now
