would see If Boston or Philadelphia had any
sand. ~ telegraphing tho money to the En-
changes. to bo offered there.
democratic brokers say that they could find
no trace OF tho $4,000 yesterday. When they
were taken by surprise on Monday they want
ed to break the 100000 and $4,000 offers into
smaller bets. but the Republicans said tho
money was to DO placed in big Jumps. and
they were not cunning for small game. Yes
tcrday. and even late Monday afternoon. it is
asserted. the Democrats braced UP and went
after the big pots. but tho money had taken
wings and gone to Boston and Philadelphia.

dns. Jonas. Hicks or Einstein.

MES. many bets were made yesterday. Nearly
all Of these bets were ON the result In New
