NEW YORK, Nov. 3.--The announcement

the meeting with brief speech.
A letter from Senator German to Richard

regret at his inability to be present at the
meeting, but says he cannot permit the
occasion to pass without saying that the
completeness of your union and the manly
and eloquent utterances of Senator Hill,
and your etforts and enthusiasm have made

will show up on the day of election that
they have learned from you how to achieve
victory. The people of this country who
live by the labor of their hands

in the use Of free ballot, will not be over
powered by the methods praoticed at the
polls by the beneticiaries of any system of

spirit of per feot fairness, modify the sys-

bribers and their candidates from the field

In conclusion Gorman says: "The peo-

Trouble Over Tickets.

ToPEKA. Kan, Nov. 3.-The democratic
state central committee claims to have re-
ceived dispatches from various parts of the
state confirming reports of the distribution
of mixed tickets. IL ia claimed the tickets
can be thrown out and considerable excite
ment prevails in consequence. The DEM
cratic and populist committees sent instruc-
tions to all organizer and county chairmen
warning them against voting anything ex-
cept the straight ticket. The anti-fusion
democratic state central committee began
sending out tickets this morning. They
are very complicated, but Secretary Crouch
SAID he had carefully examined the law and
there is no question of the legality of the
tickets. Should the election turn on these
tickets tests will ensue.

Assurances of Victory.

NEw YdnK. Nov. 3.-[speeial betting
on ths presidential result turned tonight
decidedly in favor of Cleveland. James
Mahoney offered $50 even that Cleve-
land would be elected president. No rs-
publican appeared to back the Har-
rison bluff that had been made all
week. Mahoney then offered $lO,0 600 against
$4,000 on Cleveland's election. The bet
was taken by George Wheelook, of ST..
Louis. There were several large wagers at
two to one on New York and ten to seven
on Indiana, all in favor of Cleveland.
There were also bets that Cleveland
would carry New Jersey, New York, Con-
neoticut and Indiana. The republicans are
demoralized and a Rieat deal Of the Frick
floater fund is tied up here against the
spare cash of New York merchants and
sporting men. Over $4,000 was bet to-
night.
Chairman Harrity has received from Ex-
Gov. Gray, of Indiana, a letter in which he
says: after careful review Of the situa-
tion, have no hesitation in saying that
Indiana will be found in the column of
democratic states."
At the great Tammany meeting tonight,
where Senator Carlisle spoke. letter was
read from Senator Arthur p. German
sulogizinR Cleveland and Hill, saying that
New York was certain for Cleveland, and
that with continued effort the presidency
would surely be won.
National Committeeman Wallace, OF
Washington, has received information that
the republicans are sending much money to
at least four far western states hitherto
strongly republican, but now in doubt. He
is confident that no such effort can prevent
the loss Of from twelve to twenty electoral
votes to Harrison in the states west of the
Missouri.

THE CHOLERA PLAGUE.

The cholera plague in Eastern Europe
ia assuming alarming proportions. All
Europe is afraid that the scourge shall
rapidly spread. In Russia, where the
peasantry are enfeebled by reason OF the
famine, the ravages OF the disease are
said to be appalling. The scourge has
appeared in France and will undoubtedly
cross the channel to England. From
Washington it is announced that all pos
sible precautions are being taken to pre-
vent the importation of the disease into
America.
The North American Review has an
article from the pen of DR.. Eggleston in
which he pictures the awful slaughter OF
the cholera scourge in recent years. In

WASHINGTON LETTER

WASHINGTON, July l8.-The President
like all other republicans, is perfectly
satisfied with the record OF the demo-
Gratis in the first session of the fifty-second |
Congress, and believes that it alone, to
say nothing OF the magnificent record OF
the National Administration, would be
sufficient to elect the republican national
ticket. The democrats although having |
two.thirds of the House, have accom-
plished practically nothing. They came
in power shouting repeal OF the Nc
Kinley tariff law, 2 shout which very
soon quoted down to whisper, and
when they began what one of their own
number-Pierce of Tennessee-has
characterized as pop gun attack on
the tariff" they were openly tainted by
Jerry Simpson with being afraid to vote
for bill repeating the Mckinley act.
They owe not few of their seats in
the House to Misrepresentation Of the
appropriations of the so.called 'billion
dollar" Congress, and their promises on
the stump and in the columns Of the
party press to economic in public appro-
priations. They have kept those prom.
ises by appropriating in the aggregate
more than $50. 900, 900 in excess of the
amount appropriated by the first session
of the last Congress. Is it any wonder
that republicans are satisfied with the
democratic record!
