MONEY In THE CAMPAIGN.
Both Parties Complaining of Lack OF
Needfui Funds.

There is a general cry from both parties that
they are not getting any money for campaign
purposes, but each charges that the other party
Is spending loads Of money
The democrats deny in the most positive
terms the statement made at republican head
quarters that they (the democrats) have sent
large sums of money to certain close districts.
The republicans complain that they have not
been able to get money enough to meet ordi-
nary campaign expenses. They state that the
manufacturers who arc benefited by the pass
age OF tho Mckinley bill regard that as favor
returned for what they contributed during the
last presidential campaign and will not give any
more money in consideration of the passage Of
that bill. They cannot collect money on goods
already delivered, they say, especially when the
parties to whom they have been delivered
think they have already made the payments
They might raise money on the shipping bills
if they could give positive promise that the
subsidies would be granted at this session; but
they are unable to give such promise for the
reason that the party is not unit in favor of
subsidies. Mr.. Cannon and number of other
republicans i'll the House oppose the proposi-
ton, and 1t Is not possible to satisfy the inter-
ested parties that the bills will become law.
Republicans assert that tho democrats have
been able to raise money by promise that if
they are successful at this election they will
with the assistance of republican Senators who
opposed the Mckinley bill (and who will regard
democratic victory as a reputation of the
measure by the people,, pass a low tariff
measure during the next Congress, repeating
the Mckinley law

THE RULE OF FOUR HUNDRED
A Question Concerning 1t Which Affects
District Estimates.

The estimates OF the Commissioners still re-
main in statu quo, and it will be day or SO
before they are nado public. An interesting
matter has just developed in connection with
the estimates, which knocks calculations all
to pieces, and until this is settled the figures
cannot be finished. The decision OF this oues-
ton will be watched with interest by the
saloon men Of the city, for it affects them

should visit Col. Robert and find out
his position on the subject. Accordingly Mr..
Ross called upon the colonel yesterday evening
and spent some time discussing the situation

They Will Elect Hardly More Than Half
of Ohio's Congressman.

Special Dispatch to TEE EVENING STAR
COLUMBUS, OHIO, Oct. 29.-The Ohio con.
gressional aspect has changed greatly since
the opening Of the campaign. According to
the gerrymander of last winter the democrats
expected to elect sixteen of the twenty-one
Congressman. while the indications now are
that the delegation will be divided almos,
equally between democrats and republicans.
REVIEWING THE DISTRICTS.
The recent extraordinary session Of the legis-
lature will affect in some degree at least sew.

which itprecipitated will almost certainly defeat
the democratic candidate in the first Cincin-
natl district.

In the sixth district the republicans candi

ers' Alliance, which will probably secure his
election.
The eighth district has given ex-Gov. Foster
an excellent chance of election, and nm in the
Toledo district, where j. N. Ashley is the re-
publican candidate. that party stands a fair
chance of winning because of their candidate's a
distinguished national reputation.

NATIONAL INTEREST
has conferred in the campaign in the sixteenth
district, where Hon. VIM. Mckinley and John
G. Warwick are the opposing candidates This
district was made with the intention Of gerry
wandering Mckinley out of Congress and the
effort will probably prove to have been sue
cessful. The district is composed of the coup-
ties OF Medina, Wayne Holmes and Stark and
last fall gave Campbell, democratic, 2. 99S plu
rality and in 1888 gave Cleveland 2O53. IL Ia

the most sanguine republicans claim McKin-
leys election, although the major himself, il ia
said, confidently expects to be returned.
In this, the ninth district, the democratic
candidate is Hon. Jos. II. Outhwaito and his
republican opponent is Thos. b. Wilson. now a
member of the state senate. The district cave

year before gave Cleveland only .l26. There
is no apparent probability of Outhwaite's de-

Democrats and Independents Assert
That Delamater is Beaten.

Special Dispatch to The EVENING STAR
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 29.--It was said today by
an active and shrewd democratic observer that
be didn't think the leading politicians could
tell anything about the election on Tuesday
next In kennsylvania Another, a republican,
declared that his party will surely win. and
added; Nothing can prevent Delamater's
success except there be q land slide. l have
Carefully gone over the canvass and cannot see
any trouble unless there be a tidal wave
against US. OF course am not looking for
that"
Some Of the democratic managers are so GER
tain OF the election Of Pattson, the guberna-
toriai candidate, that they are talking of 40.
OOO and $4,000 majority. The more conserve
tive are equally confident of success, but do
not not place their figures higher
than tia from 10000 to 10000 majority.
when pressed for their estimates, say
Delamater will not have less than q. 600 ma
Jority, but it should be remembered that none
OF them will talk unless in confidence and with
the distinct understanding they will not be
quoted.
From the above it will be seen that delight
ful condition OF uncertainty exists among politi-
clans OF both the great parties. The excite
ment hereabouts is somewhat exciting but the
TACT that 1t Is settling can be easily understood.
All hands are down TO hard work and OF a
character that is meant to be effective iu the
last days Of the campaign.
FEELING AGAINST QUAY
There is no mistaking one fact that there is
strong feeling against Quay among the repub-
iicans, many Of whom, TO rebuke him and drive
him from power, are bent upon defeating Del
amater, IL that is at all possible. All the
stuff published against the gubernatorial
candidates amounts TO nothing. 1t is on ac-
count OF Quay they are against Delamater
Very many who will support Delamater would
like to have shot at the Senator, but they
can't bring their minds to see that the defeat
OF Delamater is the way to unload the former
CHAIRMAN KERR CONFIDENT
No man could be more confident Of success
than Chairman Kerr OF the democratic state
committee. He is sincere in his utterances.
He fully believes all he says and any
other observer cannot fail TO realize
that the gentleman is thoroughly honest in
forecasting the result of the election lie is
not the only sanguine man. Among the inde-
pendents there are number who give il out
that the election of Pattison is beyond all aues-
ton.
James McManes, one Of the old-time repub-
lcan bosses in this city, who hates Quay
royalty because the latter failed to properly
recognize him in the distribution of federal
patronage, is quietly working for the success
OF the democratic candidate for governor He
does not hesitate in saying he is opposed 10
Delamater. He declares the latter is not in the
fight and confidently predicts Pattison's cleo
tion.

On THE PACIFIC SLOPE.
Gen Miles Submits His Report OF Az
fairs in His Department

Nal Gen. Nelson A. Miles, commanding the
division of the Pacific, has submitted 10 the
adjutaut general his annual report concerning
military officers within the division OF the Pa
cific. He says that the tone and character Of
the service is most excellent and that no class
or community OF civilians can be found among
whom fewer offenses are committed or who
live more temperate, exemplary lives
Legislative enactment, he thinks, should pro-
vide some system Of more reasonable profes.
sional Advancement The artillery branch
should be increased by at least two regiments,
and the same organization be given the infan-
try that exists IN the best armies Of the world
namely, three-battalion organization When
officers have served without promotion fifteen
years they should be advanced one grade as y
done in certain of the lower staff grades
Gen. Miles says that the various methods re-
sorted to TO dimish desertion have not, to any
considerable extent, done so. He believes,
however, that We are approaching the solution
OF the problem and that the measures recently
adopted are a step in the right direction.
lie says that the army has hailed with de-
light the adoption of his suggestions touching
the length Of enlisted service and the improve
ment Of the army ration. He believes that
great benefit would result from the adoption
of other suggestions heretofore made by him
such as the re-enlistment of hoporably dis
charged men for short terms, the examination
after five years service Of non-commissloned
officers who desire promotion 10 the grade Of
second lieutenant and the increase Of pay Of
on-commissioned officers.
Gen. Miles says that the holding Of discon-
tented and disafected Indian tribes on the
San Carlos reservation, especially along the
Gila river, which Is unsuited to them
and often unhealthy, will always be Q
source of danger and disturbance. As several
Of the military posts and reservations in the
department Of Arizona have been abandoned,
the general recommends that they be at once
occupied by Indians or converted into indus
trial schools and that the Mojave, Tonto and
Yuma Indians be removed there at once from
the sickIy Gila valley. Gen. Miles speaks AZ
length upon the importance Of coast defenses
as the most important military question before
the people.
