A Ratio Of IL to I.

The bookmakers quotations on Me-
Kinley stock and Bryan stock show
how professional betting men are
feeling regarding the outcome of the
presidential election. They con
slider Bryan a dead duck Their Of
fers of p to ! on the general result, in
favor of Mckinley, tells the story as
fully as a whole column OF tpye
could do it.
When they offer 10 to I on Nc
Kinley in Delaware, ) to on him
in Illinois, I'D to I on him in Indiana,
10 to Z on him in Iowa, 10 to ON
him in Michigan, ID to 9 on him in
Minnesota, 6 to on him in New
York, and even bets on him in Cali
fornia, Connecticut, Kansas, Ken
lucky, Maryland and West Virginia,
the quotations are most decidedly
against the boy orator.
They are Offering bets on Bryan
in only 10 of the states of the union.
They offer p to on him in Alabama,
to on him in Arkansas, 1 to on
him in Colorado, 3 to on him in
Georgia. 8 to 8 on him in Idaho, 3
to on him in Mississippi, 3 to on
him in Montana, also in Nevada,
South Carolina and Texas.
They offer to 10 on Mckinley in
Missouri, 4 to 5 on him in Bryan 5
own state. to y on Mckinley in
North Carolina, and show q ready
willingness to take their chances on
him in other states generally con-
ceded to Bryan with the betting
odds in their favor, except in the 10
states quoted for Bryan. Their
quotations cover all the states in
the union, but their offer of q to l
on the general result, in favor of
Mckinley, shows very clearly that
the betting professionals regard Nc
Kinley s election as sure thing
1t may be said that there is no
argument in these presidential
quotations, at the same time it can
not be denied that these figures are
posted by men who are not in the
habit of guessinga at results or jump
ing at conclusions.

A FAIR ARGUMENT.

Many of our contemporaries who
favor free silver, and a few of them
who do not, like the Washington Post.
for example, object to the Mexican dol
lar argument as not valid They say
that the employers who offer Mexican
dollars to their employees are not meet
ing the situation squarely. Even where
they offer, as the Philadelphia Times
has done, to pay employees $3.50 in
Mexican coin for every dollar of wages
or salary earned, others object that the
test is not a fair one. The Washington
Post, referring to proposition of Mr..
Armour, of Chicago, to pay Mexican
dollars, says that man of his fnteIu
gence should not resort to "such a
puerile and silly proceeding as this,
1t says that the Mexican dollar is worth
only SO cents in this country because
it is not a legal tender in the United
States" Now, in this case. 1t Is the
Post that IS silly and fatuous. and we
fear, to use its own simile, that its
intelligence in this connection must be
hkened unto a canary birds" The
answer would be very good If the re-
lation between the Mexican dollar and
the American dollar held good only In
the United States. 1t would then be
ample refutation to say that, although
the Mexican dollar contains more grains
Of silver than the American standard
dollar, yet it could not be accepted by
American workingmen, because, not be-
ing legal tender here, they could not
pass it on at its face value.
But it happens, unfortunately for the
Posts argument and for those who
hold. as it does, that 1t is the legal
tender quality which makes the differ
ence. that the Mexican dollar is at
precisely the same disadvantage in
Mexico that it is in the United States.
There the conditions are reversed
There the Mexican dollar is legal tender
and the American dollar is not. If.
therefore. 1t is the legal tender quality
that does the business, the Mexican
dollar in Mexico ought to be worth
something more than the American dol
lar, and the latter to circulate at its
bullion value. On the contrary, we find
that in Mexico everywhere one Ameri-
can silver dollar, which is not a legal
tender there. and which nobody is
Obliged to take, is exchangeable for
two Mexican silver dollars, which are

FUSION WILL FAIL.
West Virginia Republicans VIII Re-
feet Pop Nominee.

WHEELING, Aug. LIVERY train
is bringing in large delegations to the
state Democratic convention which
meets here to morrow, and the pros
poets are that it will be the largest
Democratic convention held in the state
for years. The free silver men are in
the majority, sixteen to one, and are
demanding that none but silver men
be placed on guard. All interest CEN
ters in the contest for governor, there
being four candidates, G. c.. Watts, l.
c. Ralpnyder, who is the Populist nom
inee, Judge w. c. Bennett and Col c.
l.. Smith. Watts has the lead, with
pledged delegates, and his friends to-
night claim the nomination on the first
ballot. His opponents are trying to
make a combination to defeat him,
claiming that his connection with the
Cleveland administration would not
make him strong with the silver people.
Ralpnyder is trying to force a fusion
with the Populists, but the chances are
that the attempt at fusion may fail,
though the Populists may be recognized
in some way.
The First district Democrats today
nominated w. w. Arrnet, a prominent
Wheeling attorney for congress.
In the Second district w. G. Brown,
of Kingwood, was nominated.
