THOSE M'KINLEY BETS.

Some blow-hard out in Ohio is ar
ranging some bets which at first look
somewhat formidable to Democrats,
but which on inspection prove to be
full of humbuggery. For example the
bet is made. 81 900 to 800, that NcKin-
ley electors viii receive in the United
States more votes than the Bryan cleo
tors; in other words that Mckinley
viii get larger popular vote than
Bryan. This is preposterous, with the
lights before us, but for the sake of
argument, suppose Mckinley did, that
would not mean his election. For in
1888, Cleveland with a plurality of 9s,-
600 of the popular vote received
IS less electoral votes than Harrison.
So this deception is simply confession
of weakness. In the whole list Of the
great combination bet which this Cox
offers as printed in the Washington
Post of yesterday, there is not one bet
Of any kind that Mckinley will be
elected President This is "A strange
omission. but the omission was pur-
posely made.
Moreover. there IL another strange
bet in the list; namely that Of $500 10
$3.50 that Mckinley will carry Indiana.
SO this man who seems go anxious to
get rid Of his money actually now
admits that tho chances are nearly even
in Indiana in Indiana which thirty
DAYS ago was considered strictly ''ene-
my's country"
Why we select Indiana is because the
New York Herald admits the election
of Bryan if he can carry Indiana, adj
mits it in so many cold figures of it's
own choosing. And to think that ac-
cording to the steel-cold sports, the
chances in Indiana are nearly even.
Surely we could not ask for more rapid
concessions from the enemy 1t will
not be another week before the Herald
by its figures of Monday will be COM
PEELED, if it continues as honest as it
was then, to admit the defeat of Nc
Kinley and the election of Bryan. There
is no other logical conclusion to the
matter from their standpoint
As to our figures, we viii not tease
our enemies by mentioning them. We
simply assert now a comfortably ma
iority. Meanwhile, we are feeling quite
gratified at the calculations Of our OPP
ponentS.

TWO SHARP ENGAGEMENTS.
The Insurgents Reported Victorious in
One and Repulsed in the Other.

One and Repulsed in the Other.
Havana, Oct 6.-News has been re-
ceived here of an engagement which
took place on Monday near Guanmo.
i'm the Western part of the province of
Pinar del Rio, between the Spanish
troops under Gen. Bernal and Col.
Gromados, and the insurgents under
Antonio Maceo The latter is reported
to have lost 50 men killed, and to have
retired with many wounded The
troops lost over 100 men. No further
details Of the fight have been received.
I'm a second engagement between the
troops under Gen. Bernal and Maceo's
forces, the latter lost 100 killed and had
200 men wounded. The Spanish loss
was "a men. These are all the details
obtainable at present.
Later in the day some details were
received OF the two engagements
Fought by the troops under Gen. Bernal
and Col. Granados mot Gromados), and
the insurgents under Antonio Maceo
st Guamo, i'm the Western part Of the
province of Pinar del Rio, on Monday
last.
Col Granados, It appears, was in
formed that the Cantabria battalion
was surrounded by a force Of 1000 in
surgcnts and 800 cavalry at Guamo.
1'hc insurgeut forces had been sent tO
Gunnmo by Antonio Macco from Iona
blanca. Col Grauados's troops charged
the enemy after his artillery had fired
~ shots ut the insurgents position.
The insurgents soon commenced 20 fly
and the Cantabria battalion, thus re-
lieyed from it's dangerous position,
was enabled to join the troops under
Col. GranWlos. and the entire force
pushed forward to attack the positions
which the insurgents had taken up af-
ter having been driven away from
the immediate vicinity Of Guaum0. The
latter were sttbOornly defended, but
the insurgents were disIodged after
five hours fighting, and were driven
bac. beyond Iona Blanca, leaving 80
killed on the field The troops had
twelve killed and 90 wounded, among
the latter being four officers.
While this fighting was in progress.
Gen. Bernal was finishing a second en-
gagement with the insurgents at
Tomas de La Teia. Gen. Bernal only
had about 700 troops at his disposal,
while the forces of Antonio Maceo oc-
cupied long lines Of battle. The fight
ing commenced at $3.50 a. m, and the
enemy made very stubborn defense.
But the insurgents finally dislodged
them from the positions they had
taken up, leaving 100 killed on the
field and the prisoners captured by the
Spaniards making over 200.

BRYAN AUTOMATICALLY SURE

To the Editor: In q recent issue of
your paper / reverted to the vote in the
last Presidential election to show that
if aryan could receive the full Populist
vote and hold his own in his own party
by attracting one silver Republican for
every two gold Democrats who went to
Palmer and BuclIner, to say nothing
of his accessions from the Prohibition
and Labor parties, his election by a
million and a half of the popular vote
and his majority of two one over Nc
Kinley in the electoral college would
not be a matter of prophecy, but sum
in mathematics.
If the goldbug press, true to the in
stincts of them at whose behests they
have become organs of monopoly, were
not so busily engaged in claiming the
earth, !" these figures would give them
pause" AS it is, however, notice that
since the prospect of the Democratic
and POpulist fusion throughout the
country has become assured, the New
York World and the Washington Post
two usually independent and intelli-
gent election forecasters, concede not
only the possibility, but the probable
ity, of Bryan's election.
/ trust that these estimates will en-
courage the friends of free silver to
hold out faithful and hopeful to the
end, and see to it that from now on,
day by day, North Carolina becomes
less and less debatable territory.

Mr. Bryan, in his speech at Upton,
Indiana, yesterday morning, used
with fine effect quotations from
speeches of Mckinley and Harrison.
Mckinley, in 1891, denounced Cleveland
for his gold policy, and HARRISON,
in 1890, in HIS MESSAGE TO CON
GRESS, Said THE enlargement of our
currency by the silver bill undoubtedly
gave an upward tendency to trade, and
had marked effect on prices" And
Col. Doclery, too, in his letter on an
other page, refers with force to Nc
Kinley's record.
