a citizen Of the United States. He was
born in Canada. oreen has acquired

REPUBLICANS IN OHIO
HEDGE MAJORITY BETS.
THE MAJORITY FOR WAGERING
PURPOSES CUT FROM 10000,
to 10000.
DEMOCRATIC GAINS EXPECTED
IN THE CITIES, WHILE REPUBLI-
CANS CLAIM ACCESSIONS IN
THE COUNTRY.

CINCINNATI, O., November 3.-The
campaign in Ohio closed to-day with
day and night meetings everywhere.
While there have been many meetings
in Chic, they have not had many prom
inent speakers from other States. 1t
was reported that the Democratic man
ayers thought they could use leading
national speakers in more doubtful
States to better advantage and that the
national Republican managers had so
much confidence in Chairman Dick
that they left him without much foreign
assistance. Senator Hanna was at the
opening at Youngstown, but later he
devoted his attention to other States,
while Senator Foraker, Governor Nash,
Republican Congressional candidates
and others canvassed the counties. The
Democratic State committee had Bryan
in Ohio twice, Hill once, Bourke Cock
ran several times and other prominent
speakers. John R. Mclean, proprietor
of the Cincinnati Enquirer and the
Democratic candidate for Governor last
year spent the last week with the
State and local committees
The campaign has been animated but
free from disturbances and such per-
sonalities and bitterness as character
lied other campaigns.
The Republicans have been betting
even on carrying Ohio by larger plu-
rality than four years ago, when Nc
Kinley' had 51,109, but to-day they were
betting on 10000. Odds as high as ten
to one have been given On Mckinley
carrying Ohio. Most of the canvassers
anticipate Republicans gains in rural
districts and Democratic gains in cities,
and most of the speculation is on the
probability of the changes in the cities
exceeding those in the rural districts
or vice versa.

NEW HAVEN, Con. November B.
The Democrats practically concede the
State TO Mckinley. adding, however,
that the Bryan vote in Connecticut will
occasion surprise and that If the Dem
ocratic presidential leader does not
carry the State the plurality against
him will be less than 5000.

WATCHING THE CITY funds.

81 ACCOUNT ~ THn MONEY!. ~
Under ComptrelIer Papry's Devised
Methods II IL Impossisie for Mis-
takes to He Made, and for
Anybody to fDefra6d I1his City.

Under the present system OF keeping ac-
counts and checking the cash OF the city
treasury It is impossible for there to be
"a stealing OF much magnitude, no matter
how much collision there might be. Since
he went into office, City Comptroller Par
ry has been celebrating and devising new
methods for accurately and rapidly check
ing the accounts and keeping track Of the
money until every body that has access TO
the cash is surrounded by such a maze OF
communicating and counting OF funds
that 1t would be impossible FOR an expert
enced crook to make anything out OF an
attempt to steal from thescit
Briefly enumerated. the arrangements
instituted by Mr.. Parry and now followed
in the administration Of the office are:
The receipts ana disbursements are en-
tered In a doubIe-entry cash book every
day, and at the close Of business"a daily
statement Of the condition Of everything
that has a money interest Is sent to the
comptroller. This shows the amounts in
each of the various funds. and the totals
OF the days receipts and expenditures in
and from them. The cash Is counted once
a week by the comptroller. Every Satur-
day night the amount OF cash deposited
in each bank Of the city where municipal
funds are kept Is certified to by the bank
ITSELF which sends two statements. one
direct to the comptroller and the other to
the treasurer. These statements must, OF
course, agree with those made indepen-
IDENTIFY to the treasurer. The cancelled
vouchers or warrants are entered in the
disbursing Journal each day, and q receipt
for every one given by the comptroller.
Then the finance COMMITTEES Of the council
IS given to the habit of Unexpectedly APP
pearing in the office and counting the
money to see that IL agrees with the state
ments made by the treasurer, as well ~
going over the treasurer's statements
every Monday morning.
Under the charter the city treasurer
must receive all money paid to the city,
but he can pay out only vouchers author
lied by the council, and warrants signed
by the mayor and comptroller.
Carrying out all these details of book
keeping makes the clerks work hard, but
the arrangements are so well systemat-
lied that there Is no undue hardship, and
everything works without Fiction There
is,t however, such q complication Of funds
that to the suninitiateds 1t is 'marveious
how they can be kept correct There are
no less than $50 distinct local Improvement
funds, all OF which are disbursed by war
rants or on the five or ten-year bonding
plan. In some of these funds there are
five accounts. which make q total Of titles
for street improvements alone of nearly
assessment rolls to be receipted every
month and kept account of, as well as a
mass of other details. =
