sketched the lives and life-work OF Blaine and

ON THE RUN.

The Democratic Rank and File Democrat
lied, and the Leaders Unable to Rally
Them.
The Washington correspondent of the New
York Sun, discussing the Democratic canvass
and the serious difficulties in its way, says:
The men who are managing the Democratic can
vass agreed some time ago that IL would be best
TO have short canvass, and to cram into a few
weeks the work that usually extends through
two or three months. Circumstances, however,
may compel the committee to begin the active
work OF the canvass almost Immediately. In
spite OF the enthusiastic assertions TO the con-
trary, the committee is not receiving encourag-
Ing reports. The indifference that followed the
nomination of Cleveland in many sections
where IL was believed the ticket would be re-
Ceived with some enthusiasm threatens to be-
come open disaffection. The committee is sur
prised and somewhat alarmed. IL is needful
that something be done, and that right away, to
check this threatened decentralization. If it does
trollabie. Some Of the delegates to the
Chicago convention who voted for Cleveland
have already expressed doubts about
the wisdom of the nomination. They have done
so because they have had opportunity TO see the
indifference and disaffection that exist Aside
from the fact that a dangerous detection Is GER
tain in New York City, and the support OF Tam
many will be at best perfunctory. word comes
from Connecticut, New Jersey, West Virginia,
and Ohio that proves that time Is aRgra waiting
rather than healing the trouble. What the COM
mttee can do to check 1t is very serious prob
lem. 1t IL very embarrassing for the managers
to be told, as they have been over and over
again, that there are many Democrats who
regard defeat as better than victory, because
they believe that II Cleveland il elected he will
be under such obligations TO the Independent
Republicans and Blaine boilers that he will be
obliged to recognize them, thus surely bringing
on decentralization in the party.
The committee realizes that IL will not do to
wait day, and now that Mr. Cleveland's letter
Is made public, active, though perhaps not very
public, canvassing will begin. Tie most vigor-
Gus measures will be taken to counteract the
tendency that IL no longer denied OF many
who have heretofore voted the Democr attic
ticket TO 90 to Butler.
The National Committee now finds itself con-
fronted with the suspicion that the nomination
of Cleveland may have been the final and worst
mistake OF the year, and with the fear that I'M
con reliable decentralization will seize the party
in some sections before election day unless
active, intelligent, and untiring measures are
taken at once To prevent il.

ECONOMY IN THE CAMPAIGN.
Democrats Poorer than Ever, and Repub-
Leans Holding Tight to Their Purses.

Democrats Poorer than Ever, and Repub-
leans Holding Tight to Their Purses.
Washington telegram
There has been no campaign since ante
bellum days that has been conducted on
such vigorously economical principles as
that upon which both parties are now en-
tering. The Democratic party, always
poor, seems poorer than ever, and visit
to their headquarters in this city would
convince one of that fact after a brief
chat with the attaches. 1t is diff.
cult even to secure money for
postage stamps and other Incidental
expenses. 1t is almost as bad at the Re-
publican headquarters. The Government
clerks, under the stimulus of public opin-
ion, have become very independent, and in
the majority of cases fatty refuse to con-
tribute cent The assessments from this
source alone in former years have Melted
the Republicans not less than 800, 900.
This year it will not equal one-tenth of
that sum. From all over the country come
reports of indifference on the part of leading
Republicans whose hberality hitherto has
been the boast and pride of the party.
Charles Foster is quoted as saying that he
will not furnish penny of aid His is not
the only case of this nature. In 1876,
when the country was passing through q
period of commercial depression far greater
than that which exists at present there were
funds in abundance on both sides. Then
money was counted out by the fifties and
hundreds; to-day it is doled out in ones
and twos. 1t is difficult to assign a reason
for this cause, unless it be that the bust
ness men of the country feel satisfied that
things will drift along in about the usual
fashion, no matter whether the Republi-
cans or Democrats are successful.
