REPUBLICANS CONFIDENT OF GREAT VICTORY. Betting With Strong Odds In Tavor of McKinley?-Democrats Afraid to Put up Their Honey. hundreds of speakers Will Appear Upon the Stump?Opposition Will Throw All Its Weight Into the Doubtfui States. NEW YORK. Aug. 21.?W. R. CurtJji" In Chicago Record: There was nervr before such absolute confidence in a political campaign; not only on the party of the participants, but among thr.? public generally. I have been over a good part of the country ulnce the two convention?, and have- never yet found a man, not personally Interested, who expects Bryan's election; while h.'re in New York people consider his .'ufent j\ fnroironf* Pftnn1n?rinn whloV. i?j the cause-of great embarrassment tn the Republican manager's..To Illustrate: A firm of brokers. Bell & Co., have posted on the bulletin board of ' the stock exchange un offer to bet 1250.000, In sums to suit, on McKlnley'a election, with odds of 5 to.2, and they have not received an inquiry. A broker named II. N. Hennlng, a member of Tammany Hall, called up the Republican state committee headquarters the other day and !*ald ho had $6,000 to risk on Bryan's success. This was duly reported in the papers, and the nest morning several sporting gentlemen called upon Mr. Hennlng. The latter wanted odds of-3 to 1. His callers offered 5 to 2. Finally they consented to accept his terms and agreed to call the next morning at 11 o'clock with the currency to close the bet. "When they arrived at Mr. Hennlng's office they were Informed that he was unexpectedly called out of town and had left word that the bet vraa off Can't Beat McKinley. At Republican headquarters I do not find the same degree of confidence. Mr. Hanna says "You can't beat McKinley" with a good deal of emphasis, but when you Din him down to details it is easy to see that he is uncertain about Indiana, West Virginia and Kentucky, and is not so sure about Kansas as other people. The correspondence concerning Roosevelt's tour in the West nas aiscioatu uit unuerjying strain. oc doubt in certain quarters that Is surprising. "We must have Roosevelt for two speeches, If not for three," the state committeemen write, "to stir up things. Nobody is taking any interest in the campaign. What meetings we have held are very thfnly attended; and we have got to do something to waka up the people?particularly the young men. The best man to do this Is Roosevelt, i There Is a general desire to see and hear him." Come Trom Every Direction. The same reports come from every direction, and while it Is still early In th? campaign It wilL be remembered that there was no enthusiasm at the Philadelphia convention. Roosevelt was the only man who excited any Interest there. The apathy that exists throughout the entire country may be overcome, but It Is the cause of great concern to the Republican managers, who recognize that it Is not based upon indifference to but confidence In the result of the election. Commencing September 1 the Republicans will have several hundred speakers on the stump in the eastern states and several thousand In the western and central states which come under mc juriauicuuu ui uiu unitas" iieuaquarters. The first point of attack will Maine, where the state election occurs the second Tuesday In September. There the campaign will be short, sharp, and the Republicans hope, decisive. The Democrats are doing nothing in Maine, and do not seem to care how large Is the Republican majority. They also appear Indifferent to the rest of New England, which they expect to give It.-* electoral rote to IfcKinley, although they are hoping that the antl-expanslon sentiment will cut down his former majority. After Doubtful States. One of the Democratic managers explained to me,that it was the policy of their national' committee to throw all Its weight Into the doubtful states, and let the local candidates and managers look after the campaign In those that were certain'either for Bryan or McKinley. If that Is the plan Mr. Bryan will probably not waste any time east of the Allegheny mountains, for this Is ...mti, me vnumyt? country ?iuii.i5 as much as in 1306. His speech at Indianapolis on "the paramount issue," will* ro rv fore nee to the currency question. has given an excusc for a good many old-line Democrats who voted for McKinley or Palmer four years ago to return to their old allegiance, and they are receiving the welcome due to returning prodigals; but the number 13 not more than 1,000 in all parts or the east. Edward M. Shepherd, of Brooklyn. the most conspicuous, except, perhaps, Bourke Cochran, has written a very strong letter, the Htrongest presentation of the antl-adnilriffltration Hide of the expansion policy I have peen. although he assumes all through it that our troop* have gone Into China to stay, nnd that the president Intends that the United States shall have 1i slice of the Chinese empire when the powers divide it. List of Deserters. The Democratic committees are publishing Hats of deserters from the Republican ranks, and it would amuse the people of Chicago to see the importance that is placed upon the defection of Magnus A. Hess, who Is advertised as a "leading business man of Chicago," "the first to propose the nomination of William McKinley for President," "n lifelong friend and financial backer," "whose fortune as well as energies have been devoted to the advancement of the Interests of his patron."

Mlliraukoc, s \T1?, Bays: " I was a most misorablo eufforor Irom falling of the womb, weak ovaries, and Icucorrhma, which caused mo to l*p confined' to iny bed for a long timji being too weak to bear my own weight even, upon my feet. I was treated by the most reputable physicians in onr city. They could do nothing for me. I am most happy to say that in three months after I began taking Pe-rn-nal was well?entirely cured without any appliances or support of any kind." O. A. Proehl,New Portage, 0., writes: MMy wife has been sick for about 11 vo years. In tho first piaco tho <Jpotor callpd it leucorrhoea, and treated it about one year, when it turned fo ulceration of tho womb; she was then treated for that for two years, when the doctor gavo her up. Sho could not walk for nearly two years. She then tried your Pe-nz-na. She has taken thrco bottles and it did her moro good than any other medicine.!' A vast multitude of women have tlous scruples to wlthold further'sup port irom the President becaus.e of his tendencies to Imperialism and the 'retention of the Philippine Islands by our government. Webster Davis comes next In prominence to Mr. Hess, and is the subject of an eloquent eulogy. Without' intending to reflect upon the motives of the recalcitrant Republicans whose names appear In the published.list. It Is significant that more than a majority of them formerly held office under Republican administrations and failed of re-appointment. Several others have personal grievances against the President, as well as a horror of Imperialism. I noticed the names of others besides Mr. Hess who sought "recognition" after the inauguration In IS97. Expenditure of Money. , The Republican committee is laying out plans that will call for the expenditure of a great deal of money, although both Mr. Hanna and Mr. Bliss are disappointed in the results of their efforts to raise funds. They have been to Boston and to Providence, and spent a portion of each day among th?: business men downtown, where they find the apathy I have described to a greater extent than anywhere else In the country. The rich men of New York are willing to chip In something because they know that the expenses of the Republican committee must be paid by the members of their party, and Mr. Bliss is'.so Influential in financial circles that he could raise $100,000. any day for any cause, but the men who gave 55,000 and $10,000 In 189C are giving 5500 and 51,000 this year. Thus far there have been no large subscriptions and no general effort to obtain money. Mr. Ilanna will be satisfied If he can raise enough to pay hi? printing bills and the expenses of his spellbinders for the present until he can wake up an interest in the campaign and convince the public that the votes are not yet counted. By that time the rich men will be returning from their summer vacations and can be more easily reached than now. ? No Lack of Speakers. There fs no lack of speakers on the Republican side. The number of applications received by Senator Scott, who has charge of the bureau of orators*, is greater than ever before. Not less than 2,500 names of men who ask assignments to make speeches are already on the books, and as many more will be added before the campaign Is fairly under way. Some are volunteers who offer their services free, others expect their expenses to be paid, but the greater mirr*b?r demand compensation all the vey from $25 a week and expenses to $250 a night. The average demand Is $100 a week and traveling expenses. Officeholders and ofilceseekera are cxpected to give their time and talents for the^advancement of the. Intrests of their party, but there Is much less patriotism In this direction than there was a few years ago. When Zack Chandler was running the affairs of the Republican party no man dared ask compensation for political speeches. One of the most exciting scones that ever occurred In the United States senate was when Roscoa Conkllng charged Carl Schurz with having demanded and accepted pay for political speeches. Mr. Schurz at first denied the charge, "but was compelled to admit that there was a foundation for It when Mr. Conkllng produced the receipts he had given to some political committee. It was considered a disreputable transaction, but Mr. Schurz and several other equally prominent orntors have always been paid for their speeches, no matter what party they happened to be supporting at the time. The reason Mr. Hchurx did not appear at the untl-imperlnllst conference at Indianapolis was becauso' there was no fund to pay his expenses and he never pays hlii own. Common Practice. This practice lias become so common, however, since the national committees have had so much money in thnir capipalgn funds thnt almost every speaker expects some compensation, nnd even candidates for ofllce nsk an allowance for expenses?not Iprs than if/a. day: rilR men who ore Invftcd or requested, to mnkc speeches at" Important meut* int;s often send in hills for their services, Just as lawyers do, nnd usually expense accounts, which ari> always paid. One very prominent Republican will never nppenr upon the platform for less than $1,000, and his hublts are so well known thnt the committee taken that fact Into consideration when ho Is Invited to speak.

Ad? dress Dr. Hartman. Columbus. Oln n single campaign before. The total exceeded $2,000,000, and the committee will do very well if it gets oft with less than $1,500,000 this year. Men like Senator Scott, Powell, Clayton, James S. Clarkson, Joseph Manley, Henry C. Payne and others who have seen long service with political committees, know most of the people who apply for assignments, but new men appear every year. Some of them volunteer their services by letter, others call at headquarters personally with letters of Introduction from friends who describe their Qualifications and urge their appointment, but no unknown men are accepted without careful Investigation into their antecedents and qualifications. The records of the committee always show who proposed and who Indorsed every man on the list of speakers, rind each name Is accompanied by a brief biographical notice. EELLAIHE HAPPENTNGS. Matters of Interest in the Metronolil of Belmont County. There has been a great demand for houses here and none to rent. The response to this demand is still limited, but gradually enterprising citizens are fnves'.ing In that direction and several new houses are under way.

President McKlnlq Saves Half His Salary. I NEW YORK, Aug. 24.?It Is n fash i una bio amusement to talk-about th United States senate as a "millionaires Huh " Is it? Every now and then.an article* goe the rounds of the newspapers relating the supposed wealth of senators ant several of them have-'beea amaaed ti find themselves rated as worth at leas a million dollars. They all wish, it wai true and seldom deny it. ,Tei a certali senator who knows the actual wealtl of his colleagues went over the list ii New York the other night and Inslstei that but six of the 88 senators are en titled to membership in the mllllonairi class. According to tills senator thosi worth a. million and .over are: George Peabody Wetmore, of Khod< Island; William J. Sewell, of New Jer sey; Stephen B.-Elklns, of West "Vir ginla; Marcus A. Hanna, of OhloiJ'JaW: McMillan, of Michigan; William E Warren, of Wyoming, and posslbl: Chaunccy M. Depew, of New- York. Hanna Not Hard Up. The senator who made the statemen declares he knows what he Is talklni about. He admits that there are sev if the McKlnley era of prosperity con tlnues, will be worth a'mUIion iri: goo< time, but a million is much money am few senators with expehsive- families not to speak of "'expensive .condtituen cles, can claim such a fortune. Fou years ago Senator. Hanna was ratei at three millions.:;- Since McKlnley'; election Hanna's business propertle, have increased in value so-that a mod erate conservative estimate makes hin an eight-times millionaire. Hanna rough as he may.seem, has a very gooi heart and Is very charitable In a qule way. In Cleveland he gives away a bo u 560,000 a year to the needy, but rievs in a first-handed way. "Years' ago lv arranged with the Sisters of Charit; to report all deserving cases to his of lice. The slstera come and report : destitute family and Hanna's clerk; give what is wanted. Hanna has 3 horror of being imposed upon ant knows the Sisters of Charity wilLasl only when true'charity and* kindnes, is to be dispensed. Elkins, of West Virginia, has made i great fortune In the coal fields of hi: state and was recently offered 512,000, 000 in cash for his holdings. Eikins is i shrewd, close trader.

Scott's son, an army officer, was mar rled in San Francisco last June am the father sent-the boy a New Yorl draft for J20.000 as a wedding present The senator remarked that, "When was married I had little more than cents." Foraker, who Is often rated as a mil llonalre, is not, but hopes to be. HI; law practice is large and he Is th< hardest worked man In public life. H< was governor of Ohio and left the ofllci $00,000 In debt, thanks to some unfor tunate investments.
