Executive Committee living in the city yesletuS spun
hopefuy of the probable result of todays election Inc
canvass has been an unusualiy quoV OI0 y" ~
in the country districts.
Major Willard Bulard, who visited the ht silor o "e
state last week in behalf of the committee declared i"'
evening that he was astOnshed at the apathy
Very little was said by anyone on pohtica m't'eIS' %
If as rare indeed to hear the subject mentioned Ihis
lack of interest said characteristic OF po' D
oerats and Republicans. Congressman HlscocA ana
ohers from the interior who present in the COM
mttee rooms a short time also said that the canvass
in the country had very quiet but they looked lo
the usual Republican majortes.
The Republican state Committee has made an actlVe
canvass "a far "A one could be made, and Mr. Carpenter
sand before his departure for home that matters
were looking much better and that there was no DOUBT
OF Il Republican majority in the State and also III tue
LEGISLATURE The Republicans have expended very httle
money. No attempt has been made TO coleoI regular
assessments from the employees OF the Government No1
member OF the Executive Committee have contributed
a single cent at least through this committee, 10
the expenses OF the cOmpaign. On the other
hand the enployes OF the city departments have con
tTibuted, almost without exception, Z12 per
cent of their salaries TO the Democratic campaign mnd
The clerks the Mayors Office made similar cohIIlD
fions and the Mayor himself TO my personal knowi-
edge gave very liberal percentage OF his own s3iary
Notwithstanding his cheap attempt 10 gam pOHtlcl CAP
itai out of letter Geprccating assessments he VIII
undoubtedly say that these contributors were not
comnusory but II head of department suDscrlbes Z2
rer cent on a list and then sends man To collect SUD
serpops on the list from hls employees, now many
of them will dare refuse to follow his example Weu'
that is lust what was DONE and by this means the Demo
Gratis have been very literally supplied with campaign
The Democratic State Committee has been making
ypOrous efforts to capture the next oJato
senate and Assembly. 1t apporhoned equally
