Campaigns That Come High.

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-Tne cost of
running an election canvass in New
York is prodigiOus. The Democratic
factions, when separate tickets are
put up, calculate to spend from $780,
000 to so 900 in a canvass. This year
for their joint ticket they will spend
a. least $4,000. In years of bitter
rivalry, when the 10000 or 1900
Democratic employees, officials and
candidates are taxed to the utmost,
it is estimated that 5000 90 can he and
has been raised. 1t was long consid.
cred worth a mans while to pay an
assessment Of S25, 900 for the nonina-
ton for sheriff. register rr county
clerk, and 49,, 900 has been paid by a
candidate for register. hut now that
the Office brings salary instead of fees,
it is not believed that more than $40,
0O0 can he got for ii.
Two men offered 800 900 for the
nomination for mayor this year, hut
Mr.. Abram S. Hewitt, the nominee
of both factions, will not put up any
thing like that sum. Once. when he
got joint nomination for G 'n2res',
two district leaders. representing the
united factions called on him TO say
that money was needed.
II know what you are driving at :"
said he. Il will make out Il check
tomorrow. l will do what is right.
l will give each faction two dollars
fore each election district"
That is what he did do. The
amount was about $500, and the dis
gust of the politicians can be imagin-
ed when it is known that they
thought the place worth 50. 800.

speech friend said to Spooner: 81 think you
will receive a different treatment from
your fellow senator's after this. II don't
know about that" was the reply of the little
senator, "but l would like to have them
understand that l am neither boy nor
fool" Senator Spooner does not look to be
over 40 years of age. He has a round head
covered with dark auburn hair which stands
out on every side like the snakes of Medusa,
a smooth shaven rough skinned face which is
remarkably open and friendly, and a little
short stubby red mustache. He is not bad
looking fellow, and he has considerable pcr-
sonal magnetism. He makes friends easily,
and / have yet to hear of his having an
enemy in Washington. He is an Indiana
man by birth, who went early to Wisconsin,
and began life there as the private secretary
of Governor Fairchild. After he left this
position he began the practice of the law, and
last year he had gotten such a reputation
that he beat his old chief, Fairchild, in his
contest for the senate Old judges of Wis

He may lie millionaire some time, but it is
highly improbable.
To the right of Spooner sit two other new
senator's, and these two are among the most
noted of the additions to the senate. One
looks like thin old grandmother in specs,

ism takes the lead of the other learned profess

higher grade of talent and broader ac-
ouaintance with literature and more general
knowledge than to ascend to the topmost
seats of the bar. Newspaper reporters of the
thoroughly trained type are usually superior
to lawyers of the middle class. They do a
large business at Washington and elsewhere
in writing speeches for public men, as, for
example, senator's, representatives and MEM
bers of state Legislatures. They prepare re-
ports for committees and cabinet officers,
while even the messages of governors and
presidents sometimes receive solid contr1bu-
tons and ornamental touches from their

personal appearances. He wears suit of

a member of the lower house at the time
Hayes was elected president. Senator Payneis
nearly six feet tall. His shoulders are slightly
bent, and his smooth-shaven face has numer-
GUS wrinkles. His forehead is high, and there
is a couple of inches of badness just above it.
At the side and back of this, fine silky gray
hairs juts out, and the whole expression of the
face below is that of benevolence personified.
As you look at him he appears very simple
and very honest. doubt not that he is both,
but allied to his simplicity and honesty there
is great political sagacity, and the man who
expects to catch Senator Payne asleep will
have to rise very early in the morning
Though Payne is one of the Oldest members
of the senate he is one of the most active
Every atom of that long thin frame of his is

he has all his faculties in perfect repair, and
he walks out to the Capitol from his home

proud of his son-in-law, Secretary Whitney,
