There is a movement on foot for the
passage of a law requiring defendants In
criminal cases in United States courts to
furnish bail through surety companies
rather than individuals. While there is
very little bail forfeited in the Federal
courts compared with the State and mu-
nicipal courts, nevertheless there is al
ways more or less trouble in this line and
it is almost impossible to recover on a
bail bond without legal proceedings. The
same difficulty was found in recovering
on bonds given by civil officers of the
Government until the system of surety
companies was introduced. No surety
company has ever declined to pay bond
except in one instance, where a dispute
as to liability occurred.

Mr.. CleveIand's Positive Denial that
He Had Been interviewed Caused
CONSERVATION.
SOME, HOWEVER, NOT FOOLED
BURKE AMONG THOSE WHO SAID GIT
DIDN'T SOUND LIKE GROVER"
General Charles Tracey's Positive
Utterance-PoliticaI News and
Gossip.

The news received here late yesterday
evening declaring the alleged Cleveland in
terview to be a fake" was not heard with
a great deal of pleasure by the Democracy.
All afternoon yesterday the officials at
Democratic headquarters were hugging
themselves with delight. At or o'clock,
when nothing had been received by them
indicating that Mr.. Cleveland had not made
the statement that he believed Bryan
would sweep the country, they were posi-
lively hysterical with delight.
But not all the Democrats believed what
they read In the afternoon papers. and
Frank B. Burke, candidate for Congress,
was one of the incredulous. Late yester-
day afternoon Mr.. Burke declared he would
rot believe the statement imputed to Mr..
Cleveland until the latter confirmed 1t with
a further statement. Most of those who
were not disposed TO believe the story said
LIT did not sound like Grover Cleveland"
Gen Charles Tracey, chairman of the Ma
tional Democratic committee, who was in
the city, was one of those who secuted the
idea of Cleveland making such statement.
General Tracey is a close personal friend
of Mr.. Cleveland. After giving his views
in the matter to some of the newspapers
General Tracey clipped the alleged inter-
view from one of the papers and sent 1t to
Mr.. Cleveland, with the statement that he
(Tracey) had given the opinion to the news
papers that the interview was fake"
Late yesterday evening General Tracey
made this statement: ST will be willing to
give $500 to the Indianapolis Orphan Asy-
lum If any one will bring absolute proof
that Mr.. Cleveland said this"
The officials at Republican state commit
tee headquarters were informed about
o'clock that Mr.. Cleveland had denounced
the statement as absolutely false. A men,
Der of the executive committee remarked
that 1t would not cut much figure in the re-
suit OF the election even IL Mr.. Cleveland
had said what he was reported to have
said. cit would not make a difference or
one hundred votes in Indiana" this execu-
tive committeeman declared. Members of
the committee about headquarters were not
inclined to believe that Cleveland had I'M
loosed his tongue to this extent. but they
felt if he had done he would prove to be
a poor prophet. The Republicans, however.
were jubilant to learn that Mr.. Cleveland
was standing by his colors and the Demo-
Gratis were equally downhearted. 1t was
thought that activity in local betting cir
Giles was stimulated yesterday by a too
credulous faith in the fake.

some of 1t May he Used ON the Betting
Boards.

A well-known Republican who has been
about the State at campaign work the last
few weeks was asked yesterday if he
thought the Democrats could do much with
the 10000 Croker money and said:
IT think IL would take great deal more
Than $4,000 TO make much of change In
Indiana now. so decidedly Is the current IN
get the little amounts are much more likely
20 forget that IL is in their pockets Then
they may think that IL can be used 10 bet
ter advantage for the party TO put IL up in
bets L expect to see all the Republican
bets on the board that afford a chance
taken before Saturday. III they are you can
make up your mind that the Croker money
has gone into the bets as an indication of
renewed courage
Speaking OF bets. a Republican who
knows something about the political situa-
ticn and votes I'm 1896 said: THE larger part
o. the bets posted recently .ts'e so absurd
that no man who knows anything OF poll
tics would touch them. There is one 500
to 800 that Mckinley will not get so large
Z pfpre1fty In Indiana Illinois. New York
and ohio as he did in 1896. This means that
the aggregate pluralities i'm these States
viii not be as large this year as -FOUR years
ago. No Republican has made such a
claim. New York gave Mckinley 26S 469
plurality: this year the Republicans do not
claim over 5000 or 100000 Illinois gave
Mckinley 1i2.e07 plurality in 1896. but Re-
this year. Thus IL will be seen that the
bet Is posted 10 deceive the ignorant. All
the bets offered about Democratic plurali-
ties in Colorado. Missouri and other BRYAN
Etates are equally preposterous. The offer
of even money that McKinley's plurality
viii not be so great by 5000 IL was four
years ago Is no bet. because no intelligent
Republican expects 10. Nor is $50 10 $50 that
Mckinley's plurality will be 10o0 less in
Nation county this year than IL was IN 1896
q Fair bet. because few Republicans claim
the astounding plurality OF Mckinley OF
G.717 four years ago this year. The most
ebz-frd OF all the bets posted Is that of 500
to SIS that Bryan's plurality I'm Greater
New York will be 5000 greater than in 1896.
As Bryan ran behind Mckinley I'm Kings
and New York counties-the principal part
OF Greater New York-in 1896 the term
mere plurality Is ridiculous. The conserva.
tive estimates give Bryan 5000 plurality in
Greater New York. Like Democratic tao
tics IN general. these Democratic bets are
