Won't Speak for Beaver.

LANCASTER, Pa, October 14.-The LsteLi-
ceaeer Gays that the contributions in aid of
the regular Republican State ticket do not
come in with that rapidity and volume de-
| sired. At the recent meeting of the Finance
Committee of the State Committee, the ways
and means to raise the wind and augment
the fund were discussed. A delicious morsel
of gossip crept out from the meeting regard
ing a little spat in which Col. Quay and
Senator Cameron are said TO have figured
prominently. AS the story goer, it is said
Quay suggested Blaine TO be induced to come
here and speak for Beaver. This was op-
posed by Mr.. Cameron, who declared that he
was not wanted, and that the campaign
should be run on the cash principle; and to
show his sincerity it is said the senator
gave Chairman Cooper his check for
$4,000. The story is denied BY the
gentlemen who were present, but a prom
inent man in the party said that Mr..
Cameron had made a contribution of $2U,-
coo TO the Beaver campaign fund, and that
this was only supplemental gift to at
$4,000 handed over upon previous occa-
sion. So far as the relations between Cam
eron and Blaine are concerned, conhden-
tial friend of the latter, who happened to be
in the city yesterday. said: "There is 3 bad
feeling between the men, and IL dates back
10 before the year 1875. Mr.. Blaine would
not consult Mr.. Cameron upon any matter,
and merely speaks or mods TO him when they
meet. Blaine is OF forgivipg nature, and
never fosters any luminosity. His wife says
his trouble Is excessive amiability. He will
not do anything TO help Cameron, and if he
should come here, which doubt very much,
from what he told me few days ago, he
would not speak Tor Beaver. As a friend OF
Blaine's, do not think Cameron ever said
what is attributed to him. But the men are
bitter enemies, and you can rest assured that
there is no love between them. 1t dated be
fore the Chicago convention, aud the bad
feeling can never be eradicated."
Another gentleman who came up from
Washington a short time sgo with Mr..
Blaine, and conversed with him most OF the
way, said last evening that the ex-secretary
had declared his intention not 10 speak in
Peunsylvania at all, as he did not desire to
aid Mr. Cameron in any fight he may have,
and be did not care to incur the animosity
of any of the factions in the Keystone State.
Privately, Mr.. Blaine did not care to speak
for Gen. Beaver, whom he thought had
aided materially in defeating his noniina-
ton at Chicago. The latter, the gentleman
thought, was the milk ia the cocoanut.
Contingent upon Blaine's taking part in
this campaign, number of those who have
heretofore contributed to the fund for "neces-
cary expenses" have expressed themss Ives.
1t was learned that a large number of the
manufacturers who have heretofore con-
tributed have refused to pay over any money
for Beavers success, preferring to use what
ever they had for the election of the con-
gressional candidates. Some OF them have
handed over sums ranging from 800 TO $500,
while the heaviest individual gift is said to
be $1,000, and that comes from a large saw
and tool manufacturing establishment. The
hat has been passed around; but, like the
old church deacon, those who Clipped in
looked at the contents first TO see if SO
bill could be changed. In the western part
OF the State the case is different. Oliver has
given $25O0 and others have come down
handsomely, but in Philadelphia there are
padlocks upon the pocketbooks of those who
have for years past "come down with the
dust"
