REPUBLICAN HEADQUARTERS
Not Much News, but Such as Received is En-
couraging.
Two Bets Untaken In WiscOnsin-
Gold Democrats Working
Hard in Ohio.

There is a scarcity at republican head
quarters of news from the campaign, the
reports. while favorable, being few in num-
ber. This is accounted for on the score
that the party managers are all busy IN the
field at this time. The congressional can
d:dates are canvassng their districts, and
it is only when campaigner gets home at
the end of the week or at the finish Of
trip that he finds time to communicate
with headquarters.
Two Bets Cntaken.
E. S Williams of Janesville, Wis, who is
that state, in a personal letter to Chairman
Babcock says: Il have had the offer of
wager up for two weeks without any takers
on these two propositions: First. that Wis
consin will give Mckinley 5000 majority.
Second. that Mckinley will receive $50 ele:-
toral votes.'
E. y. Cornay, chairman of the republican
congressional committee for the third dis
tr.ct of Louisiana. writes 20 republican
headquarters: Prospects still look bright
for ying this district, and 1 con-
fd6nt We can place it in the republican
column, i'll spite of the obstacles sought to
be placed in cur way by faction of the
PARTY who have put out an opposition can
ddate TO play into the hands of the dem
ocratiC party
II. j. Martin. a member of the gold demo-
cratic executive committee for Eaton
county, Mich, which is working hard for
the election of Mr.. Mines the republican
nominee for Congress, writes to republican
headquarters that "all indications would
seem to assure the election of Mckinley
and urges the Importance of returning a
sound money delegation to the House.
Gold Democrats In Ohio.
John E. Hopley, who is managing the
congressional campaign in the thirteenth
OHIO district writes to republican head
quarters from Bucyrus: THE republicans
who will vote for Bryan will probably be
1 in 100. On the other hand ex-Congress-
man Gee. E. Seney of Tiff1n, Seneca county,
has strong gold following who are openly
for Mr.. Harris. Ex-Congressman VIM. G..
Haynes Of Fremont has another strong fol-
lowing in Sandusky county, who are OPEN
ly against his opponent Morton. In every
county the gold democrats are numerous
and the bulk of them Will vote for Mr.
Harris In Erie county the gold sentiment
among the democrats is particularly strong
The prospects for Mr.. Harris are more ia
Norabie than at this time two years ago.
The tidal wave is in our favor in Marion
and Erie counties.
Representative Hull of Iowa writes re-
publican headquarters: The silveriteS are
more active in Iowa than they have been
since the campaign opened. L cannot i'm
aglne what they base Their hopes Of success
ON, but they are evidently trying to make
some headway here. So far as the farmers
are concerned, l am satisfied they are all

BUYING STOCKS AND SILVER.
Backing Their Preaidential Prefer.
ences and Belfefa With Nancy

Backing Their Presidential Prefer
ences and beliefs With Money.
One of the most astute republican poll
ticians in the country a few days ago tele-
graphed from this city a large order to his
New York bankers to buy stocks. He is
said to be absolutely certain of McKin-
leys election that he has not hesitated to
place thousands in a class of stocks which
will be sure to jump to high water mark in
case of the election of the republican can
didate. Should Bryan be elected the plum
ger stands to lost thousands.
Chairman Babcock of the republican COLI
gressional committee said this morning that
stocks are being bought all over the coun-
try by men who believe that Mckinley will
be elected. He thought this would increase
until The day of election.
Silver men are advising their friends to
buy silver. They argue that iE case Bryan
is elected silver will take big jump. If
Mckinley is elected they do not believe it
will go down. They believe the election of
Mckinley might even BRING about rise in
silver. They put this on the ground that If
Mckinleys election restores confidence and
starts business everywhere this condition
of affairs will be good for silver as well as
everything else.

DIPLOMATIC RECEPTION DAY.
The Venezuelan Minister Has IL Con-

This was Secretary Olneys first diplo-
matte reception day for three months, yet
there were only three members of the corps
among his calers-Sepor Calvo of Costa
Rica, Senior Romero of Mexico and Sencr
Andrade of Venezuela. The latter spent
half an hour In close consulta ton with the
Secretary. and it is presumed that the dis
cussion concerned generally the negotia-
tons relative to the boundary controversy,
and particularly the last move in British
Guiana, authorizing the building of Brit
ish railway through the disputed territory,
which threatens, if pushed, to disturb the
present satisfao tory status quo.
