THE PROGRESS OF THE CAMPAIGN.
The Independents Doing the Most
Aggressive Work.
ANYTHING TO BEAT ELAINE.

Inc democrats are placing their chief reliance
upon their independent republican allies While
heither the democratic nor republican campaign
managers can get money enough to carry on an
aggressive fight, these Independents are said 70
nave aiLthe money they need. and are doing good
deal OF work. The republican committee have sent
eut quite large number Of documents, but are not
aoie 10 go TO the extent I'm this direction they would
Ike 10, ana are utterly unable to comply with
mfee Is or T in Oney f., me nS %
Responding TO no demands for money, and Is send
Ing out a very limited list OF documents They
mace hit with voorhees, Irish suspects speech,
which Is In great demand, and have sent out about
100000 copies From the New York headquarters
they nave been sending out three or four docll-
ments In large quantities. but this is about all they
are able to do.
But the Independent club OF New York is doing
the work OF the campaign, and the democrats rely
upon tnem more than upon anything else. A
member OF Congress who has recently been TO New
YORK tod STAR reporter that they were doing
more work than both the other committees put To-
gether, and do not seem to have any shortnesS Of
funds. They have had 100000 copies OF Carl
SchutZs speech printed in both German and Eng
h>h, ana are distributing 1t in all directions not
OHiy IN New York, Wisconsin, Ohio, Kansas, but
everywhere that the German vote Is worth seeking
They have gone into the work with Will and de-
termination unequaled by either OF the regular or
gannatlons, and taking advantage OF their knowl-
edge OF republican plans and methods, are doing
all in their power TO defeat Blaine. They have had
large number OF copies OF the resolutions passed
by the Young Mems Independent Republican club,
OF BrOoklyh. printed ana are circulating them
freely. The abeSt men at the head OF the move
ment are giving their personal attention to the
campaign work. and are contributing everything
that their knowledge and ability and their money
can furnish. They are determined to defeat
Blaine, and are sparng no means to secure that
end. They are working like Trojans, but they are
working on their own hook, and Independently OF
the democratic committee. outside OF the state
they are working among the Germans chiefly. In
the state they are using all their power In the
way OF argument and influence to foster the
natural antagOniSm between the stalwarts and
Blaine clements. and they are going to revive
Blane's letter which was published during Folgers
campaign for governor, in which the Maine states
man advises that the CARRIED republicans OF the
state remain at home on election day, and allow
Foiger to be beaten. This, 1t is understood, they
will circulate, together with the statement that
the stalwarts got the asceIdency in the state he
could not get the support OF the machine to secure
his nomination at Chicago, and they Will appeal
to the stalwartS not TO make themselves tools in
the hands OF man who sacrificed them once and
slaughtered their candidate TO promote his own
personal ambition.
