THE INDEPENDENT CLERK.
ECHOES OF THE CAMPAIGN
Henry Ward Beecher Speaks - The In
dependent MOyement---Demo-
cratic laborers.

WASHINGTON, August 27.-There has
been no campaign since anti-bellum days
that has been conducted on such Vigorously
economical principles as that upon which
both parties are now about entering. The
Democratic party-always poor-seems
poorer than ever, and visit to its head
quarters in this city would convince one of
that fact after brief chat with one of the
attaches. 1t is difficult even to secure
money for postage stamps and other Incl
dental expenses.
It is almost as bad at the Republican
headquarters. The government clerks,
under the stimulous of public opinion, have
become very independent, and in the ma
iority of cases fatty refuse to contribute a
cent. The assessments from this source
alone in former years have netted the Re-
publicans not less than 100000. This
year they will not equal one-tenth Of that
sum.
From all over the country come reports
of indifference on the part of the leading
Republicans whose liberality hitherto has
been the boast and pride of the party.
Charley Foster is quoted as saying that he
will not furnish penny, and his is not the
only case of this nature.
In 1876, when the country was passing
through period of commercial depression
far greater than that which exists at pres
ent there were funds in abundance on both
sides Then money was counted out by the
fiflics and hundreds: To-day it IS doled out
in ones and twos 1t is difficult to assign a
reason for this, unless it be that the busl'
ness men of the country feel satisfied that
things will drift along in about the usual
fashion, whether the Republicans or Demo
Gratis are successful.
This scarcity of funds is the occasion OF
a great deal of growing and dissatisfaction
on the part of candidates in close Congress
districts. A member Of the committee
said to-day, with shrug of the shoulders,
that it was painfully obvious that money
would not be one Of the controlling elements
of this campaign. Meanwhile political
managers from various places are writing
letters urging the necessity of some hard
strokes, and Representatives and Senators
are visiting the headquarters here and in
New York to see what's the matter. Even
documents that used to be given away in
great quantities are required to be paid for,
and every means possible to bring in money
or save it is resorted to.
1t has been the custom of the Republican
committee to purchase few Of McPherson's S
hand books for distribution. This year they
canno; afford to do so.
