vote a good deal of time to the study OF
systems in betting and the science OF
hedging in such a way that no matter
how the election goes they may be win
ners. Politicians, who might be sup
posed to be the leaders, take the second
place, and some of the best known men
in the country have had their goo4
money in Billy Edwards hands on pres
ideutial elections. They do not, however,
as a rule, put up the money themselves
or bet in their own names Sometimes
solid business men let their prophetic
convictions run away with them suffi-
GENTLY to cause them TO make election
wagers with Edwards help, and large
number of young fellows with more
money and enthusiasm than brains are
in the habit of risking their dollars With
him.
There is no doubt that in more than one
instance fortunate election betting has
proved the beginning of a confirmed
gambling habit. One man of my ac-
auaintance was ruined by lucky cleo
ton bet. He first became a gambler
through Wall street speculauons and de-
seended step by step until he was pol
lev fiend ;i-id had lost all his money. FL
nally he came TO d. sense Of his position,
stopped his gambling, and, securing EN-.
ployment, was again on the high road to
success. One day just before the cleo
ton of 1892 he dropped in at the hotel
where election bets were being made,
saw Edwards with big roll Of money
in his hands and concluded to risk the
few hundred dollars that he had sue
ceeded in saving from the salary OBJ
tanned in his new found employment.
During the days and nights that were
left before election he was practically q
lunatic. He hardly ate or slept, and he
neglected his business. His friends be-
gan to worry about him, but consoled
themselves with the hope that he would
! be all right after election. Their hope
| was not realized, for although he won
his wager, it served to start him anew
| In the path of the gambler and today
| his state is worse than before his re-
| form, his place and his money are both
gone, he is Uniting policy" again, and
| he lacks the moral support of the friends
who helped him TO rise after his first
| fall.
The man who should invent cure for
the gambling mania, often started by a
bet on the election, would be greater
benefactor than he who should discover
some new form of election bet.

not been so large a. on these quadrennlal
occasions, but the tendency has been
generally upward. He told me the other
day that he held much more money that
was bet On the election OF 1892 than on
any previous year, but he does not be-
Iieye that this indicates a general in
crease Of election betting. 1t means
simply that his fame as holder or
wagers has grown, and that men who de-
tire to back their opinions with their
rash come to him for convenience.
The largest amount of money Edwards
ever held for one man was for New York
State Senator Murphy, who put up 49,
900 on Cleveland. 1t is not likely that
all this money was Murphy's own. 1t
was probably the venture of a syndicate
who selected Murphy as their head. Ed
wards sharp blue eyes sparkled when he
spoke of this bet, and his light mustache
took an extra curl. He conducts his bust
ness in the most methodical fashion. Five
per cent of the money wagered goes to
him for his trouble, and for this sum, If
the bet be a good sized one, he can afford
TO take some pains in finding man VINO
will bet against the one who first puts
up the money.
When a man desiring to make wager
on the result of an election takes his
money TO Billy Edwards, that individual
gives hi formal receipt; then the bet
tor is required to write out and sign the
specific terms on which he wishes to bet.
When the opposing bettor is found, ne
is requested to carefully read the writ
ten terms and to place his signature be-
low that of the first man. After the
election Edwards delivers the money TO
the winner, receiving from him re-
ceipt, and from the loser written state
ment to the effect that he is satisfied
with the manner in which the bet has
been decided.
The hotel managers who employ Mr..
Edwards have found that his function as
stakeholder has tended to material in
crease of bar and other trade for them
during the weeks preceding important
elections, but the crowds of men looking
for opposing bettors have sometimes be-
come SO great as to be decided nuisance.
and last year it was found necessary to
limit the hours during which money
would be received. The scenes at sucl:
times were interesting and exciting.
All sorts of men bet money on cleo
tions, though professional gamblers are
perhaps the leaders. These men will
frequently bet either way, provided the
odds are favorable enough, and they de-

Concerning betting on elections for
money, it is likely that Billy Edwards,
well known as an attache of a certain
New York hotel, has greater knowledge
than any other one man in the United
States. He began TO hold stakes IN cleo
ton bets about eight or ten years ago.

SPINNERS TO STRIKE.
Ten Thousand Operatives in New Bed

Willing to Fight All Winter-Manu-

BY The Associated Pres.

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Aug. 1s.-Ths
Spinners' union of this city voted last
night to institute general strike Monday
morning unless the manufacturers reosde
from their determination to reduce the
wages. Nearly 400 spinners were present
at the meeting, which lasted about two
hours. During that period the wage ques-
ton was discussed in all its phases.
The sentiment of the various opinions
expressed was-that in view Of the change
In tho business situation since manufao-
turers gave notice Of the reduction, owing
TO the passage Of the tariff bill-that re-
duction in wages was unnecessary; In fact,
some thought circumstances warranted an
increase, II anything.
Conservative members endeavored TO
have definite action postponed for few
days In hopes that a change would take
place in the situation, but the operatives
refused to listen to the suggestion, and de-
mandcd ballot Determination charac-
terized every action Of the meeting, and
when vote was taken IL was found to
be unanimous. It was also voted not to

month after the strike begins, q fact
which testifies to the determination of tho

The strike Is destined to be the greatest
in the history of the city, as 10 closes down
every mill and affects almost 20, 900 people.
The unien is in splendid condition for a
prolonged fight, as all the men belong to
the union and the treasury is full.

In view of the action taken by the local
union the Fall River spinners, IL is under

strike can be conceived from the following
figures: 1t will silence 1,07s, 800 spindles,
including 49, 800 looms, and will affect l3
mills, having weekly payroll Of s76. 600
