WHILE the Republicans are
busy setting up the cry of "stop-
thief" and accusing the Demo-
cratic managers of an unstinted
expenditure Of money to influence
the October States, tho fact re.
mains that the Democratic Ma.
tional Committee has very little
money at its command. The DEM
ocratic party has no hundred
thousand office holders to assess. II
has no rings and cllques that have
fattened on the Federal treasury
for twenty years, and whose liberal
contributions can be relied upon.
Besides all this, Democrats really
sympathize with the spirit of
American institutions and discour-
age the employment of money to
influence elections. Two weeks
ago there was held in the city Of
Philadelphia meeting Of wealthy
Republican bankers and business
men, presided over by John Welsh,
late Minister to London, at which
an immense sum was raised, to be
placed where IL would "do the most
good" Ia Indiana. The circular
under which this meeting was
called was intended for judicious
and private circulation. The "first
fruits" Of the call was the large
sum Of $4,000, and 1t has since
been euadrupled. Doubtless SINH.
lar efforts have been made in the
other leading cities. To what Ie.
gitimate use can these prodigious
sums be placed in Indiana? TIE
fact that they have been SO raised
discloses colossal plan of corrup-
tion. Rutherford B. Hayes is now
out on the Pacific Coast for no
other purpose than TO allow his
subordinates at Washington and
all over the United States, to
shamefully violate his celebrated
civil service order which, amongst |
other things, prohibited the levying |
Of political assessments. No sensi-
Bile man can shut his eyes to the
'act that the whole entrenched |

SAN JOSE, CAL, October S.-There
was a larger attendance at the race
track to-day than at any other time
this week. The first race was for a
purse Of 500, for the 2:3O class.
Four started, Crown Point, Pinole
Patchen, Cassie Mack and Major.
Owing to the ackno wledged supe-
riority OF Crown Point, there was
little interest taken and less betting
on the result. Pools sold at $50 on

placing and time were as follows:

The second race caused great
deal of interest. 1t was for purse
of $500, for three-year-olds. The
starters were Alex Button, Belle
Echo and Len Rose. The conduct
of these colts at the Oak.

demonstrated that Button and An
ME Laurie were the best of their
age that had made q record on the

Alexander Button made the fastest
time, 1923, to the credit of the Cali

the start Button was the favorite
at $40 to S28 on the Others. 1t was
the best race ever trotted on the

favorably with any foreign as to
