Cleveland and Harrison were again
pitted against each other. most of the
wagers were about even, but much OF
the time the odds We're in favor OF
Harrison. There were countless Re-
publicans anxious at the last moment
to get their money down on Harrison,
and this drove the Cleveland sports to
the wall so that their candidate, al
though triumphantly elected few
days later, was. apparently, in the
judgment of men with money to risk,
a loser
The betting on Mckinley and Bryan
ran at about to l in both campaigns
of 1895 and 1900. Accordingly, the
prevailing odds of to l as between
Roosevelt and Parker are exceptional.
1t is said in New York that between
now and election day Democrats will
make an heroic effort to bring the
betting back nearer to what il was
three months ago. Soon after the st.
Louis convention the odds, faVoring
Roosevelt, stood at about 10 to Z.
The betting on gubernatorial candi-
dates in New York has been more cor
rectly indicative of the outcome than
has the betting on Presidential can
didateS. In 1891 the odds in favor of
Flower for governor against Fassett
We're 10 to I. and Flower was elected
in 1894, the odds between Morton and
Hill were s to 5. and Morton was
elected: in 1898, the betting was even
on the chances of Roosevelt and Van
Wyck. Roosevelt being elected by
about 1900, while in 1902 the odds
