eXpectedly promising. The county
district, sub-district and vigilance com
mittees all over the State are said to be
more prompt than ever was known be-
fore.

the school district and township organ
ization and we are satisfying ourselves
that we have a welLeqipped body in ey-

that is done, the naturahzations effect.

The books of the vigilance commit
tees for The State, now being turned in
rapidly, will bear the names of from
$4,000 TO $4,000 of the active party
workers; and names and orders are also
being received and filled for poll books,
copies of the Pennsylvania election law,
illustrated biographical sketches Of the
State candidates, the platform, an ac-
count of Black 5 reception 10y hls neigh
bors and his speech to them, pamphlets
on Beavers store orders, anti-diScrimi-
nation, the labor question and other
issues of the campaign, of which about
a half million copies are in press or
preparation. There is very lively de-
mand for the exposition of the store
order business and of Beavers relations
with it. and number of specimens of
these famous "orders' have been sent
to the committee rooms by persons who
bought them at ten per cent. discount
from workingmen, who received them
instead of cash, and, finding them re-
deemable only in trade at the company
store, submitted to the "shave" to get
ready money. Throughout the mining
regions there is much demand for fac
SMILES of the coupon orders, especially
of the one, three and five cent denOmi-
nation, and it is said that Beaver has
become SO alarmed at the effect of the
issue that he has ordered lis company
to pay in cash only until after the elec-
ton.
The Democrats claim also TO be con-
Hja,,t that hot Ia tLn l;nrN,. anI ,r,l,iI,;
ton interests are dissatisfied withBeav-
er'S recent manifold and equivocal ut
terances on the liquor question, and
that his various interviews at Pittsburg
have added to the embarrassment Of his
campaign.
Neither State committee chairman
makes . concealment of a scarcity of
campaign funds, and no systematic as
SeSsmentS can be any longer levied ana
collected in the departments but mas
much rs quite a number of the old Re-
publican employees holding oyer under
Democratic heads Of departments have
chippei their usual remittanccS into
Cooper'S hat, there are pretty plain in
timations at theDemocratic hcadquaIt-
ers that they expect to hear from those
who are drawing official salaries, and
the managers ofBlack'S S campaign point
to Cleveland's contribution of 81 goo
last year TO Goyerner Hills election in
New York as a lively reminder of a re-
form administration notions of its
voluntary duty TO its party org1niZa-
tiOa. No fears are entertained either
in the State or city committees of Il
lack Of necessary funds to meet all the
legitimate expenses Of the campaign.
The city committee is diligently at
work canvassiIg the tax receipt lists.
Arrangements have been made for two
mass meetings at the Academy of Mu-
sic in October, and all the detailed work
is being looked after by the OrgarlZa-
tion committee, which meets every
Monday afternoon, from TO 6, with
Hensel, at the State committee head
quarters.
