CAMPAIGN ECHOES.

NEW YOKE SOLID FOR CLEVELAND AND THURMAN. Indiana Conceded to tlie Democrats —New York Democrats Betting Heavily on Cleveland Cheering News from All Quarters. [New York telegram.] To-day’s money offered on Cleveland at odds of sto 4 amounts to $45,0*0. In addition to this money offered on the national election, Charles Smith, who served four terms in the Assembly as a Republican, announces that he has SIO,OOO to bet on Gov. Hill's re-election at odds of 5 to 4. There is $10,030 additional in a broker's office on Wall street to be put up on Cleveland. The reason there is so much loose Cleveland money is that the Republicans will not bet on Harrison unless they get larger odds, and the bookmakers will not go into the election betting regularly until the races are over. Any Republicans who want to bet on Harrison can be accommodated by sending their' names, addresses, amounts they want to bet, and a deposit to James Mahoney, or care of the Hoffman House, where the proprietor, Ed Stokes, will take any large bets. One of Chairman Quay’s Friends Says Indiana Will Go for Cleveland. [Jamestown (N. Y.) telegram.] r* Republicans were furious and Democrats jubilant to-day over an editorial in the Morning News (Republican) which opened with: “We are satisfied that Indiana can not be carried by the Republicans, find without it New Jersey and Connecticut are powerless to save the Republican party without New York.” This concession

has all the greater weight because it is common report that the News has its telegraphic service furnished by the Republican National Committee until affier the election on account of Chairman Quay’s friendliness for one of the publishers of the paper. The Outlook in New York. [New York special to Chicago News, Ind.} The|Democrats from other States who are stopping in the interior of New York come into headquarters every few days to report and get fresh inspiration. What they say of their oh. serrations does not tally in many cases with the Republican advices as to Democratic defection in the smaller manufacturing towns on the tariff issue. It would seem fr m a comparison of these reports that such disaffection is sporadic and the return of Irish Blaine men to the Democratic fold is considerable. For example, ex-Cougressman Lamb, of Indiana, a political observer of more tuan average perspicacity, told me to-day that in Ulster County, where he has just been speaking, the most diligent inquiry failed to elicit any evidence of Democratic weakening. He said: “I took aside and privately interrogated a dozen of the loading men of Kingston and Rondout, and not one of them was able to name a single Democrat who proposed to vote for Harrison on account of opposition to the President’s tariff-revision programme. On the contrary, I saw my - elf, and talked with man after man— Irishmen—who said that they voted for Blaine before, but are now for ( leve-laud. I was assured- that Ulster County, which gave Blaine a plurality of sixty-nine iu iBBi, would this year give Cleveland 500.’’ The proprietor of one of the largest New York hotels, who is as strong for Cleveland now as he was hot for Blaine before, recentlv said : “The Republican party made the mistake of its life in not nomina ing Blaine. He would have carried New York by 30,000 at the lowest calculation. I know what I’m talking about when I say that. Blaine’s Irish contingent cannot be transferred to any other Republican. There are about two hundred men employed iii this hotel, and throe-fourths of them are Irish. Every one of these Irishmen who was for Blaine is now for Cleveland. My marketman finds the same thing true in the shops, in the markets and on the wharves where he deals.” At another and still larger hotel the same report was rather unwillingly given. Such straws are certainly worth attention. One M >re for Cleveland. ' [Neenoh (Wis.) telegram.] John Stevens, one of the wealthiest men in the city, the inventor of Stevens' roller-mills, which are in nearly every flouring-mill in the country, will vote for Grover Cleveland. Mr. Stevens has heretofore been a Republican, but he does not take mach stock this year in the cry of protection. To clean bottles, put into them some kernels of corn and a tablespoonful of ashes, half fill them with water, and after a vigorous shaking and rinsing you will find the bottles as good as new.
