BETTING ON THE ELECTION.
Supporters Of straus Not willing
TO Give Odds Against Strong.

A strong feeling of antagonism Is de-
veloping against Tammany's candidate
for Mayor, Nathan Straus, and in
place where it was least expected-that
is, in Tammany itself. Some of the
delegates to the Convention that nomi-
mated Mr. Straus are to-day ridiculing
some of his published utterances and
predictions that his speeches will do
more harm in the ranks of the organiza-
ton than can be offset by their effect
in winning votes from the OPPOSITION.
There pis a disposition manifested in
some quarters to bring the race question
forward as an issue against Mr.. Stratus,
but it is being suppressed by the leaders
wherever discovered.
Mayor Gilroy .efused this morning to
say anything about the course of the
Sun in boiling the nomination of Stratus.
II have decided to do no more talking
during the campaign" said the Mayor.
Regarding the report that Charles A:
Dana had gone to the Mayor and urged
him to prevent the nomination or Mr..
Straus, the Mayor said:
There is no truth in that story. That
| is all will say about Mr.. Dana"
The first bets of any moment among

brokers that he had $4,000 more to place

would be the next Governor.
There were no takers, and then Wasf
offered to bet $500 to $1,000 that Strong

On the Cotton Exchange no bets have
yet been made on the result of the elec

Fraudulent Registration.

Supt. Byrnes summoned all the police
captains to Headquarters this morning.
He received them in his private office
and delivered verbal orders. occupying

The Superintendent refused to say just
what he had said to the captains. but

known that the captains have lists of
the names of occupants of lodging

This census was taken by order of
the Superintendent last week. for com
parison with the official registration list.
The idea is to detect any attempt at
fraud in time to prevent illegal voting.
There are other places" said the Su-

MARCUS WATSON and Charles Bow
man, candidates for Clerk Of the Dis
trict Court and Superintendent Of
Schools on the democratic ticket have
declined to run, and the demo-
cratic ticket has been filed out with
the names OF w. q. Adams for Clerk,
and j. NJ. Tadlock for Superintend-
ent. The democrats feel that the
fight made on Mr. Tadlock is mali
cious and uncalled for, and they re-
quest us to publish the following;
To the Democrats Of Phillips County:
The undersigned, chairman and
secretary of the democratic central
committee, wish to state to the voters
that after careful Investigation of the
charges made against j. NJ. Tadlock,
regarding certain changes said to be
made by him in the office Of the
County Superintendent, we fail to
find that he is chargeable with the
80 called changes of grades, aud we
believe MIR. Tadlock should be exhon-
Grated from such censure, and believe
him to he thoroughly honest and cap
able, and have this day placed his
uume on our ticket to fill the place of
our nominee, y. W. Bowman who
has filed his declination papers, and
we urge our people to support HIM.

Hon. JOHN MARTIN has published a
letter urging democrats to vote the
populist ticket from top to bottom,
He says:
1T is a very bad cause that has to
depend for It's support on gamblers,
bummers, thieves and their associate
classes. Il is the most natural thing
for an honest man to desire the elect
ion of an honest man to Office, and a
dishonest man wants a dishonest man
elected every time, and dishonest
man is not likely to favor the election
of an honest man if he knows it. We
are now confronted with the remark
able fact Of VIGOROUSLY corrupt and
dishonest men, such as Kline, Legate,
Acres IL Co., supporting the republi-
can ticket, doing all IN their power
to elect it upon the ground that it is
an honest ticket and will break up
their dishonest business, and are also
engaged IN defeating men whom they
pretent to have purchased with mon
ey, to exempt them from the law and
Judgment of the courts, which, if
true. would be purchasable and disable
by Kline and his friends for the same
purposes. No intelligent many be-
llevea this story for moment"
