Inman, I Station I), Rent York Clift New Tfttk World, There'baa been much betting on tbe election tills year by Wall Hlreet men, the irregular nature ol tbe contest, with St. John and Butler as two uncertain (aclore in tbe problem, offering special op portunities for hazards on the gen eral result. A conservative broker estimates that about $25,000 or $30,000 baa been bet in the Stock Exchange alone on tbe election. Members of tbo exchange and bankers on tbe street have made many bets outside at the hotels uptown and at the restaurants and other places of resort down town. The betting as s lule has been about even on the general result, but the Cleveland men are offering odds on the election in tbo State; $1,000 to $700 that Cleveland will carry the State has been offered, and $1 ,000 even that his majority will be 25,000. Mr. Thomas C. Buck, of H. K. Kuos & Co., within a day or two has bet $2,000 with E. 8. Conner, brother of J. Uould’s partner, that Cleveland will get more votes in the State of New Vork than Blaine. Mr. Buck endeavored to have the bet repeated, but Mr. Conner de clined. Mr. C. I, Hudson has bet $1,000 with W. T. Colbran that Cleveland will have 25,000 more votes in the State than Blaine. Mr. Hudson has two bets of $1,- 900 to $2,000 cac|i that Cleveland will be elected with Deacon 8. V. White, of Plymouth Church und Irbkawanna corner fame. In all Deacon White has bet $7,000 on Blaine as an off set, apparently, to the stand for Cleveland taken by his pastor. Henry Ward Beecher. He has three bets or $1,000 each with 8. Elliott, who believes lliul Cleveland will be elected. Addison Camniack has bet ex-! tensively at the Windsor Hotel, the | amount being, it is understood, $37,000, all staked on Cleveland. \ It was reported down town yes-; lerday on the best authority that J a liet ol $10,000 whs mnde nt the Fifth Avenue Hotel on Friday' night that Cleveland will have i more votes than Blaine in New 1 Vork. About $30,000 more was, placed on the election that same evening at the hotel. An evening or two ago ex-Con- j gressman Miles ltoss, of New j Jersey, made several large bets at 1 Taylor’s Hotel, Jersey City. j Cleveland will be elected. Col. J. O. ShniighuCHsy, who' lived for many years at Denver, | Col., and accumulated a, fortune olj several millions in mining enter- ! prises in tbe West, 1ms been in the uity for several weeks, trying to "pihoe,” as he says, $1511,000 made op by a syndicate, of which be is tho representative, on tlio result of the election. He proclaimed him self an out and out Blaine nmn, and when he llret arrived was will ing to give odds that Blaine would lio the next President’ol tho Uni ted Slates. He is not so sanguine now, however. His money, the Treasurer of the Republican State Committee, who yesterday went with wild Joy when it contribution of $6 was received, says Is in his safe, and ready to he laid out on Blaine. A few nights ago tho gallant Colonel encounter- ed Edward Kearney in the Hoff !
