salaries and it Is said that they were all prompt to re-

municipal departments The usual zig per cent was re-
ouested Of the employees and this brought to the Demo
cratic treasury sum several times greater than the
whole expense Of the Republican canvass. The Demo
cratic candidate for Register was alone assessed sum
equal to the entire amount expended by the Republican
state Committee Two other Democratic candidates con-
tribned 81 900 EACH and contractors and Others gave
