G. Fennell and Chas. Beauchamp as to who our next president would be. Fennell is a democrat but he took the odds on McKinley. He has agreed with Chas Beauchamp that if Bryan is elected he will wear a suit of Chas. Beauchamp’s clothes for one month and if Bryan is elected Chas. is to wear a suit of clothes belonging to Fennell one month. This is quite a curious bet and the outcome will be watched with interest. The question now arises is, who has the odds. Answers solicited at this office.
