Nr. Newton Reers.

Mr. Newton Beers last night closed q
two-nights' engagement at the Richmond
Theatre IN the play. "Only Woman
Heart" Mr.. Beers took the character OF
"Old Roger" the tramp. There is some
thing in his impersonation OF this charac-
ter that brings out clearly the varied senti'
ments and emotions OF the nomadic being
he represents. He exhibits HIM in hi'
best and worst phases, and whether it be
in pathos or fun, always with undoubted
interest 10 the audience.

What Will They Do With It2

A correspondent wants to know how
It is that Democrats in Texas are
asked to send money to Ohio for cam
paign uses, and how 1t will be ex-
pended. The GAZETTE cannot give
aspeciiic answer as to what purposes
it will be applied to. but infers that 1t
will be invested so as best to advance
the party's interests in that state. Mr..
Arthur p. German, chairman of the
national Democratic executive COM
mittee, makes the request for gem
eral contribution of money to be used
in the very close states and says: "The
number Of our opponents is small, but
their wealth is great and will be un-
scrupulously used. An active and
vigorous campaign must be made
against them. Their paid advocates
must be met and defeated In debate
upon the platform. The organization
of all who are opposed to
them must be perfected in
every state. city and county in
the land, Money is needed to do this
honest work. Your committee, REF is
ing to adopt the methods by which
the Republican party fills its reasury,
calls upon all good citizens for the aid
which 1t requires
We are not of those who hold
that "the end justlfies the means, -
and maintain that the corrupt use OF
money in influencing elections is not
justified because the opposing party SC
uses money. There is NJ ground FOL
suspicion that money sent TO Ohio t.
forward the Democratic canvass will b'
so used. The chairman distinctly
points out that such funds are to be ap
piled In "honest work"
II our correspondent has a dol
lar or two which he wants to con
tribute to the common cause in Ohio
he need not be deferred by any conec
entious scruples as to the use which
will be put to. 1t will doubtless b
laid out In a judicious manner an
where IL will do the most good.

The Campaign Fnnd.

CLIFTON, TEX, Sept. 90
To the Editor OF the Gazette.
/ see from your paper that they are
makingan effort in Fannin to raise a
big fund to use in the election to help
Cleveland out.
Will you please explain to your
readers how such fund is used in an
election. Your correspondent says
something in defense of such methods
The substance of his explanation Is
that the other party does 1t and hence
1t becomes necessary for the Demo-
Gratis to raise like fund.
To the minds of some of your read
ers the propriety OF such proceedings
is not very clear, but there may be
something in 1t that we do not under
stand, no doubt there is. Please give
us full explanation and ventilation
OF the campaign fund. We are thor
oughly interested in 1t.

Simple Matter.
Chicago Herald.

West Virginia is a Democratic st.te.
Ohio is Republican staff. The Re
publicans hope TO carry the former
this fall ana the Democnts hopG to
carry the latter. The probability is
that neither will be successful. 1t will
be as foolish to say that the Democrats
cannot elect Cleveland in November if
they fail TO carry Ohio in October y it
would be to say that Blaine cannot be
elected II his party fails tc carry West
Virginia in the coming local election.
On the other hand, if one party carries
both of them tho other might as yell
hang its harp ON the willow. The
Democrats cannot lose West Virginia
aud the Republicans mist not lose
Ohio. That ia about all there is tGthe
October elections. The decisive light
viii be in New York and Indiana If
the Democrats can carly them Ceve'
land will be president If they cannot
the governor of New York will have
an opportunity to serve out his term.
