rHE CAMPAIGN.


Boston Herald reports the following in
regard to the political situstion: A friend
Of mine who has just come from New
York brings really distressing news about
the Republican national committee. He
says that not only Ia there lack OF
money, but that the management has
been very bad. The appointment Of the
ancient Jones Of Pittsburg, to be the
chairman OF the committee has turned
ont to DO miserable failure. He has but
slight acquaintance with leading Repub-
lioans, and does rot understand bis duties
At all. He was selected by Mr.. Blaine
because 1t Was supposed that he would
give 9100. 600 10 the campaign. but IL
seems that he has d,De moth

ing small gift, equivalent
to other members OF the committee, II
bscane necessary to raise s10, 600 further,
and when Jones' was appealed TO he
ooolly informed the committee that he
would let them have I money on

that prominent men are not driven away
from the Republican headquarters from
the lack OF any proper person to receive |
them. There seems TO b. no head nor |
tail to the party management, and the |
effect is bsing widely felt. hear from |
Ohio that the Republicans have no |
money in the campaign chest and are in |
very gloomy mood, como ding the state |

publioans In all portions Of the state.

Carl schuiz has promised to make 10
speeches In Ohio.
THE RESULT IN MAINE.
The Maine election takes place on
Monday next, and while Republican
victory Is generally conceded, there ia
much speculation as to the extent Of the
majority. The Republican state COM
mittee declines making public the result
Of Ito canvass, and this Is regarded by
many % an indication that the figures do
NOT come up to the expectations.
The only information the committee.
men give out is, in general way, that
the canvass is satisfactory. Their I'M
willingness to give Robie's estimated
plurality leads others to think that 1t is
because 1t so far exceeds what they are
looking for that they do not dare to give
a hint, but prefer to preserve silence, for
the reason that II 1t should turn out to
be correct, 1t will be q big political sur
prise to the country. Now that the cam.
paign Ia getting down to bedrock, the
Blaine men are not indulging in so much
brag as they did about Robie's getting
the large plurality they said he would
receive in the earlier stages of the can
vass. There Ia good deal Of bluff talk
that has been made for Its effect In other
states and not for the home market.
