New YORK, September 29.-In no cam
paigu perhaps has there been more gener..
Gus contribution towards the success Of me
"Grand Old Party" than at the present
time.
One of the principal objects Of Mr..
Blaine's visit to New York was to meet
bankers, merchants and capitalists, and by
throwing his magnetic eye upon them, to
open their purse strings and let their money
flow freely.
1t was stated at the Fifth Avenue Hotel
yesterday that Elkins had on deposit IN
single bank in this city to the credit OF the
National Republican Committee nearly
$750,000, all of which is to be used, as
Steve Dorsey would say, as soap" in the
various State elections Checks have been
pouring in for large and small amounts
since Mr. Blaine's arrival here and depart
ure on his Western hippOdroming tour.
Only few days ago, said a gentleman
last evening at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, "a
check was received for $4,000, drawn by J.
G. Blaine to the order Of S. B. Elkins, which
is only one of several contributions that the
Tattooed Man is expected to make.
Large Sums.
Have the Republicans received any
large contributions?
S0h yes, several John Jacob Astor
has given 100000, the understanding be-
ing that his son, William Waldorf Astor is
to retain his position as Minister
to Italy, in case of Mr.. Blaine's
election. Jay Gould has given
SlOO, 900 with the understanding that the
Union Pacific Railroad and other monopo
lies in which he is interested are not to be
disturbed Levi P Norton has pledged
himself either to give or raise 100000
the pledge in his case being that he IS to
retain his position in the Consular service.
Among other large contributors are Joseph
SeHgman, Henry Clews, Drexel, Morgan &
Co., Winslcw, Lanier L Co, William Dowd,
H. C. FahnCstoek, George F. Baker,

Where il Goes.
How is the fund being distributedY'
Nearly half millioa dollars has been
disposed of for doubtful States like Ohio,
Indiana, West Virginia and New York; it
will be put where it will do the most good,
aud If those States do not give majority
hr Blaine it will be because money cannot
buy the voters. Blsine's success in secur-
ing a majority in Maine by the use Of
money has encouraged the committee to
adopt the same tactics elsewhere through
the country; the publication of the Extra,
the appendix 10 the Tribune, has been a
continual drain, the dynamiters have proved
very expensive, and the Butler campaign is
also costing much more money than was at
first anticipated. Mr.. Elkins expects, how
ever to raise all the money he needs, and
will put another million into the campaign
if 1t becomes necessary.
Chairman James ID. Warren, of the Re
publican State Committee, is in sore need
of funds. and in his circulars which are be-
ing sent out tindiscriminately he says: The
State Committee finds itself embarrassed for
want Of funds with which to defray the nee
esSary expenses Of the campaign.
