THE KENTUCKY DEMOCRATS,
How they Raise Money to Help the indiana
Democracy Carry tho State.

How they Raise Money to Help the Indiana
Democracy Garry tho State.
louisville Commercial.
ALI day long yesterday the working Democrats
of Louisville were actively engaged in soliciting
subscriptions to be used in Indiana next Tues
day. A committee Of Democrats, with John
Whallen at the head, started out early in the
morning, and before night several thousand dol
lars had been collected, Not a Democrat with a
spare cent about his clothes was excused on am
condition. Whallen showed the gang how to hus-
tie for money. He didn't beg a cent from any
man. With a little pass book in one hand and a
lead pencil In the other he would walk up to a
well known Democrat, wherever he met him,
and say; Here, put your name down here for five
dollars lnstinctively the pencil was seized by
the patriot and without a word down went his
name in the little book and out came his roll of
greenbacks. Every body approached contributed
something according to their means. On Fifth
street, between Market and Jefferson, Colonel
Whallen struck a crowd of Democrats, and in
less than three minutes he had several hundred
dollars of their money. The contributions were
made willingly and without a murmur of disap-
prevail The rest of the gang, not accustomed
to soliciting contributions. looked upon the
work of Colonel Whallen with establishment and
admiration.
did you ever see the like9o said Governor
Jim Owens. at Just beats ANYTHING | ever
saw in my life. mi bet in less than three days
he could raise 800, 900 himself"
Two gentlemen, known to be Democrats, were
seen coming up the street. you sound the one
on the inside and I'll tackle the outside one, :"
said Colonel Whallen to a brother solicitor.
Let me see you a minute2' said Colonel Whallen,
as his victim came up. He was led to one side,
and in less than ten seconds he had his wad out
and taking off the $40 wrapper, handed to the
Colonel That's the way to catch them, said
the Colonel ~gleefully as he spotted another vic
tim and hurried off to tackle him. Even
Charley Godshaw, who is no SLOUGH of a hustler
himself in times of politics, was surprised at
Wbailen's active work.
The money realized will be forwarded to In
diana at once TO be placed wherever it will do
the most good. If the carrying OF the State for
the Democracy depended upon John Whallen he
would carry it or die in the attempt.

New York Special.
The Democrats are blue. You do not hear
any of the expressions of confidence which were
common enough among Democrats before the
Ohio election. 1t is common enough to meet
Democrats who are willing to concede that the
6ght is over, and that they have no chance.
One of the most prominent Democrats 1 have
met to-day is Leopold Morse, the veteran Demo
cratic member from Boston. He is one of the
most shrewd and successful of business men,
and has been here for some time studying the
situation. He says that he gives up the fight.
The Democrats have no chance, said he this
morning. There is no use in going over my
reasons. 1 believe Blaine will be elected"
Don't you think Cleveland has a chance of
carrying New York;
mo, / do not If he had any chance in the
State it is gone now"
Elk Congressman Cochrane.la prominent St
Louis Democrat, said to your correspondent
this morning:
1.-THE Democrats are beaten. We were beaten
in OHIO. That settled it. l believe we could
carry this State by 40, 900 majority if our leaders
were united; but what is the use of talking about
itl The game is up"
'Do you think the Democrats could have sue
ceeded with anybody elsep
"No, l do not. We had one big chance against
Blaine. If the Democratic party could not sue
coed 10 its fight against Blaine, with all that
could be brought against him and with the re-
volt of ais own party papers against him, then
it will never succeed. l do not believe the
national Democracy will ever win another
victory"
