The End Of the Campaign.
REVIEW OF TIE WORK DONE.

uC ClCliOuS t-udy WlnQ up Il campaign LQat
has been conducted by the two parties in a
manner strikingly in contrast. This has been
the talk among prominent democrats for the
past few weeks, and has engendereda good deal
OF discoltent and no little bad feeling
ON THE PART OF THE REPUBLICANS
the campaign has been managed with good
deal OF energy and ability. and generally speak
ing with almost perfect discipline. Very large
sums OF money have been raised among the
have been liberal. Other interests effected by
the result of the elections have responded
promptly and generously. The government
officials have not been backward The Presi-
dent and his Cabinet have done effective work
for their party by speech-maktng.
THE DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN FUND
has been comparatively small. There is talk
too. that the funds in the hands OF the National
Democratic Committee have been spent to sub
serve the private and political interests OF some
prominent persons connected with or Influential!
in that organization. The democratic congress
slOnal committee has exhibited good deal OF
energy and zeal, but this could not compensate
for failure in other directions.
THE PARTY PAPERS.
Another point in contrast is the conduct OF
the leading democratic and republican news
papers. The republican papers have been ac-
tive and energetic. The democratic. with some
exceptions. apathetfc, even Indifferent In New
York two of the democratic papers have sup
ported republican candidates for Congress and
The combination ticket against regular demo-
cratic nominees.
The correspondents representing republican
newspapers have done an immense amount Of
work which cannot fail to be effective. The
correspondents of the democratic papers on the
other hand have not been invited or encouraged
in any efforts they may have made in that direc-
tiCn.

prominent and well-informed democrat.

on this subject. Said Ii, under these circum-
stances, the democrats should achieve victory
to-day, II will be something remarkable. They
expect to hold the House 0f Representative.
but il is not likely that they will augment their
majority. 1t is conceded that the republicans

Vanla, and some other states, and will be abe
to secure the reelection OF Conkling and Cam
eron TO the L. s. Senate. In Massachusetts the
contest is close, both sides, and Butler claiming
a majority. 1t is possible that the discrepan-
cleS IN the estimates may arise from the fact
that there are a great many operatives and
workingmen in the state who say that their
votes viii be antf-Butler, but who are consid-
cred by Buffers managers to he reliable voters
for their side. Massachusetts, has large num-
Der OF workingmens secret societies. Without
a knowledge of the workings of these organiza-
uOnS 1t would be impossible to forecast the re-
suit OF the contest in that state to-day"

Mr. John F. Coy1e, of Washington. in which he

contents of the cipher dispatches" published
IN the New York Tfftnae relating TO the p1r-
chase or control OF the electoral vote After
declaring that there is no foundation for this
lnslnuatIon, Mr.. Cooper says:-"The explana-
ton OF Mr. COyle'S letter may perhaps be found
in tie fact that on Monday last Mrs John F.
COyle left her visiting card at my house. stating
that She would call again. She came and said
that her husband was under great excitement
