DISTRIBUTING TIE FUNDS. e
Tho Presence Of Democratic Corruption
Money Makes Things Lively.
CoLuxBUs, Oct. 0-Tn the specials from
here the quiet which prevailed at Demo
cratic headquarters was referred to- as was
also the probabilities of increased activity
after the Doodle for the corruption fund
arrived. Some Of the agents sent East
returned as early as Monday, and others
have been coming in since. The evil
dences OF activity are apparent, as the
special agents who have been selected to
iistrihnta this corruption fund over the
State dodge in and out Of the Democratic
headquarters. These agents have all been
nameu at the dictalion OF Mclean, who
was the principal in raising the fund, for
which he ia to be elected TO the United
States Senate. That, of course, is condition
ed on the ability OF the Democratic party,
through fraud and corruption, 10 control
the Legislature to be elected Tuesday
next. As indicated in former dispatches
from here, the fund collected for this pur-
pose is enormous. 1t is estimated at
something over 100000. This will be
used in uascrupulous ways known only to
the disreputable gang OF coal oil kids, who
nave their poisonous fangs fastened on
the Democratic party OF Ohio.
Itisa case OF life and death with the
gang. especially the Cincinnati, boss, who
knows full well that failure in the pres:
ant contest will forever blight his political
prospects, Defeat means that he will be
shorn OF his political power and relsgated
10 that oblivion so richly deserved by the
entire gang OF sharks with which the peo-
ple OF Ohio have been afflicted for the past
two years.
M'LEAN's HIRED NAN.
If any evidence was needed to prove
that money is being used to secure the
election Of members of the Legislature it
can BIO secured in abundance here in
Franklin county, where Allen o. Myers,
McLean's hired mar, heads the Legisla-
tive ticket. Young and Charey, the other
candidates, follow his lead, aud each OF
the three is pledged to vota for Mclean
for Senator il elected. Meetings are being
held every night, brass bands hired,
speakers brought from distance, and
hacks engaged to haul them about town.
Besides this an elaborate display ot tire
works is given nightly. In the saloons
men sre enpInysd to spend the money
contributed to secure the election OF these
worthless bv txlnV ali the hummeu
who frequent the lowest dives.
It is estimated that at least 500 a
day has been spent in the interest OF Nc
Lean for the past week, and this amount
will he increased from nov until alter the
election. This is used iu paying Tor the
fireworks, the bands and acts and in the
saloons. This is only fair statement OF
the manner Of conducting the campaign
in franklin county, and the same tactics
will be adopted in all the close counties, IL
it has not already been done.
STANDARD OIL COMPANY.
1t might not be cut Of plsc, here to give
a few extracts from the Daily TiMlc', the
only Democratic paper in Columbus, as
they will serve the purpose OF showing the
character OF the coal oil gang. They were
published during the session Of the Legif-
lature, and are as follows:-
THE men who sell themselves to. the
Standard OIL Company in Ohio have dug

past two weeks to tile use Of money lythe

lature who would not pledge themselves
to vote for Payne. To-day are
presented the damning evidence OF the
truth OF our charge. The Re
publican committee Of Allen county Is
given money to dete4t staunch Demo-
erat, - But here are proofs strong
as Holy Writ that Farley and the Payne
syndicate used money to elect Payne men
This pollution OF q representative trust
for money will not be forgotten in the
heat OF future party contests.
After the nomination had been pur'
chased and Payne elected to the Senate
the Times denounced tho affair in these
words:- y
"Corrupttoiehas made rotton the Demo
cratic Legislature in Ohio. Money has
been its potency to Grag honor down into
the mirs. Last night cAbal OF monopo'
lists, a Junta OF millionaire bosses, took a
arm grassy upon the Democratic party" ;,
This same "junta Of millionaire bosses"
still have their grasp on the Democratic
party, and it remains with the voters to
say whetheror not they will be continued
In power.
