From The ". Y, Sun,
THE Campaign Fund"

If any doubt ever existed rs to the orr
gin OF the whisky ring and the preteXts
under which it was organized, it is com
pleteiy dispelled by the testimony of the
distlllers and others on the trial of Me-
Donald at St. Louis. The officials sworn
to administer the laws and to protect the
revenue, first conceived this scheme of
plumber which in the end assumed such
large proportions, put it in shape with all
the connections, and then inveigled the
manufacturers into their trap.
The plundering combination dates from
Grants first election, and was made COM
paratively easy by his appointments
against the protests of all the leading Re-
publicans in and out of congress, the press,
and the merchants of st, Louis. His selec.
ton Of Mcdonald as supervisor of internal
revenue, in utter defiance of public opin-
ion and with the full knowledge of his bad
character, was notice that this class of cor
rupt Adventures would be preferred for
the public trusts and sustained in spite of
all opposition.
Backed by such power and prestige,
Mcdonald found no difficulty in periecting
the details of the ring organization, or in
enlisting all the support he needed among
the officials at Washington, To satisfy
the scruples of those who were first temp
ted, it was alleged that the money pro-
cured from crooked whisky was required
for political purposes in tho bitter strife
then raging in Missouri. Then success
and impunity stimulated the plunderers
They enlarged their operations; and when
the reelection of Grant was urged in
1872, the riug had become q great power
and was relied upon to provide the sinews
of war, Under the disguise of "the caul-
paign fund, immense sums of money were
levied and distributed among the chiefs of
the ring and their contederates at the cap
ital.
This ring was the recognized head of the
Republican party in the Northwest; fur
nished the greenbacks for maintaining the
organization, and contributed literally to
the election Of governors, senators, and
representatives. Many of them who now
mud it convenient to deny any relation to
parties whom they openly courted and ia
vored In every possible way before the re-
cent exposures, were the retained attor-
neys or paid agents Of the ring. Without
these political connections, which really
formed its great strength, the ring could
not have prospered as it did. or have
grown into an overshadowing power In
side, its only politics was Grantism. Grant
was the pivot upon which it turned. and
he never pretended to throw off Melon
aid, Joyce, or Avery, until the indict
ments and the proofs made further coun-
tenanee Of the thieves dangerous to him.

following donations, and after having duly
considered the appeals for the same, placed
the following amounts at the disposal of
the masters Of the respective state oranges

SECRETARY'S REPORT.
During the past three years we have
supplied 22,G20 oranges with their out
fits, and issued large amount OF extra
materials, such as song books, manuals,
tracts, etc.
The history of the organization our order
is the greatest achievement of modern
times. The Masonic Order, consisting of
blue lodges, chapters, Communicates, and
other branches OF its organization, num-
bers twelve thousand nine hundred and
thirty lodges " ,030) on the entire globe
The Odd Fellows number seven thousand
tifty-One lodges, encampments, etc, giving
total Of nineteen thousand nine hundred
aud eighty-One in the whole world, and
those orders are from thirty to one hun
dred years old; while at the outside we
have but eight years growth, and have is
sued twentyiour thousand two hundred
and ninety charters, confined to the United
States al me.
1t is quite reasonable to suppose that
many Of the oranges organized under
the excitement of last year should be
weak, but our records at this date show
only CSC that have been consolidated,
suspended, or had their charters re-
vCked since the first introduction of the
order
State secretaries this year report pay
ing membership Of 162, 263, while the in.
crease OF new oranges for the past month
