New YORK. Oct. 15.-The Republic
ans continue TO be greatly discouraged
by the effect of last Saturdays great
business demonstration in front of the
sub-treasury. They have given up their
tactics of open bluff through the Of
ficials Of their national committee espe-
cially on account OF the grave obJec-
tiOns of some of the subscribers to their
fund to having their money used in that
way instead of legitimate campaign
expenditures. The objections of the
Philadelphia subscribers TO paving over
100000 which they have in hand until
a similar sum is raised IN New York
rest largely on this ground. They want
to be able TO say that their money has
not been used for gambling Tor the ben
eft OF the sporting fraternity instead OF
for campaign purposes to aid IN the
contest OF the Republican candidates.
The current Of legitimate betting, which
is still going on TO a considerable eX-
tent. is decidedly in favor of the
Democracy. Some days ago Col.
William L. Brown. of the Daily News,
bet so. 600 to $4,000 that Cleveland
would be elected. Hon. Benjamin
Wood tried to-day to find takers Of his
offer to bet 5000 or $4,000 that Col.
Brown would win his wager. The offer
has been made public here in all the
resorts where betting Is done, but no
one seems at all disposed 10 take II up.
Tnurman's letter OF acceptance is
univ, rsally regarded here as
VERY STRONG CAMPAIGN PAPER

that the closing statement of their case
has been made in 50 effective and pop
ular a form. The principal occupation
Of the Republicans Just now Is the man
uIacture of false stories of the attitude
of prominent Democrats toward the
national ticket. This is about the only
comfort they can derive from the NOM
inatiou of separate local tickets
here. which has Swelled the regis
tration 50 largely and will increase
the Democratic plurality. one OF
These rumOr-mOngers published story
that Hewitt has said that he would not
vote tor Cleveland for president. Mr..
Hewitt'S attention was called to that re-
port this evening. and he was asked
what he had to say about it. Its lie.
q liel IeI' he answered. Absolutely
and unmitigated." The fact is that Mr..
Hewitt has never failed on any Occa-
sion since the nomination of Cleve-
land and Thurman TO declare his
earnest desire for their election and his
intention to do all he could to aid them.
All stories to the contrary are inven-
tions for local political effect and Re
publican advantage. But such tactics
are very foolish for they only serve to
bring into greater prominence the
earnest character of the support of the
national ticket by leading Democrats.
The Republican abuse of the franking

franked by Chairman Quay as United
States senator. The defiance of the
postal laws by the Republican cam
paigners is open and frequent, and
some of them no doubt will have Occa-
sion to regret their audaciOus disobedi-
ence of the statutes. There are great

the Democratic GENITAL or conference
committee OF Down Town Business
Mems clubs called a meeting this morn
ing to consider 4 proposition that had
been made to request the withdrawal of
the Democratic candidate for mayor
with a view TO union upOn a single
nomination. The principal speech in
support of this view was made by
Joseph J. O'DOnahue. who pre-
sided at the Great Business
mems meeting on Saturday, and who
has been grossly misrepresented by Re-
publican reports that he was anxious
to interfere with local matters on the
idea that a united nomination on mayor
was necessary to national success. The
conclusion OF the Business mems
organization, that no such action
is called for, confirms the wis
dom of the course taken by
the national and state committees in re
fuSing 10 interfere further than TO see
that no harm can come TO the general
cause through local disagreement. The
Republican campaign Of intimidation is
becoming utterly ridiculous. Hundreds
OF wOrkingmen are sending TO Demo
cratic headquarters indignant letters
imclOSing the
BULLDOZIHG PAY ENVELOPES
used at factories. and many manufact-
urers. disgusted with the course of the
Republican headquarters. have sent
their subscriptions TO the national
Democratic fund in token Of indigna-
ton OF the Republican methods. The
peoples campaign fund continues to
increase from day TO day. TO-day's re-
ceipts were larger than those of any day
last week. but the collections are
still inadequate 10 the necessities
OF the campaign, the expenses OF
which will necessarily be heavy from
now until election day. One Of the
amusing incidents of the day is the re.
volt of the employees at the Republican
document rooms on Broad street. which
is supervised by the noted Al Daggett
through whom the famous fat
frying circular of Deacon Foster
became public. The Quay-Daggett
wOrkmen engaged in expediting the
forced quotations from English papers
and the falsely franked documents are
paid the magnificent sum of l215 cent:
per hour. The women engaged in the
folding room receive the harrassing
wages of 81 a day. The work is hard
and a strike is threatened. In order
to ascertain what such services
we're fairly worth, one of the
dissatisfied employees inquired at the
National Democratic headquarters anC
found that the compensation there was
$3.50 day of ten hours. with extra pay
for extra work. so that those engaged
in an alleged campaign Of American
wages for American wOrkmen received
JUST HALF THE COMPENSATION
allowed to the employees Of their Op-
ponentS, whom they denounce as favor
ing a policy OF low wages. At The
