Crawford avalanche. (Grayling, Mich.) 1879-19??, 1892-08-18

Evidence has for some time been ac-
to prove that the demo
Gratis propose to place their main reli-
ance In the present campaign on boo
die. Never before have the managers
of that party seemed to be 40 well sup
piled with money as they have been
from the start this year. Even the
Congressional campaign committee.
which usually has to scratch around
pretty lively to get enough cash to pay
the clerks necessary to mail the docu-
ments sent out, is flush now, and the
man In charge of that committees
headquarters is feeling so good about
IL that his tongue has been wagging
over the plentiful supply of Doodle at
the disposition of the committee, and.
il he is to be believed. there Is an un-
limited supply in sight to meet any ex-
penses that may be incurred during
the remainder of the campaign.
Where does this money come froms
This is a question worthy of the most
serious consideration of every man
who believes in honest government
and the purity of the ballot-box. Rep
resentative Mitchell, of Wisconsin, was
put at the head of the Democrat Con-
gressional campaign committee for no
other reason than that he is a rich
man, and it is known that as soon as
the committee was organized he hand
ed its treasurer check for $40, 600 as
his preliminary contribution, but $lO,-
900 is only "a drop in the bucket" to
what has already been spent by this
committee, so that 1t is evident it has
other sources of revenue besides rich
Congressman. There are reasons for
the belief that the same source from
which the money came TO fit up 30
lavishly the democratic national com
mittee's headquarters in New York
city and which Is reported to have
placed an enormous corruption fund
at the disposal of that committee to be
used in an attempt to carry Illinois,
Iowa, Michigan and Wisconsin foi
Cleveland and Stevenson. has been
drawn upon by the Congressional com
mittee.
Mr.. Whitney, the democratic boss
could tell, If so disposed, just what
amount has been put up" by the
Standard Oil Company and Other
wealthy corporations he represents
and also what these corporations ex
pect in return for their money, If i
buys q democratic President and
House of Representatives. No one il
simple enough to believe that any 9th
er than selfish considerations infiuenc
ed those corporations to contribute
large sums of money to the democrat
ic campaign fund. Forewarned il
forearned and now that republicans
know about the democratic Doodle. L
is for them to thwart as far as possibl,
its improper use.
The chairman of the committee II
charge of the preparations for the G.
A. r. encampment has issued circu
lar letter, which has been mailed to ev
cry Post in the United States, contain
ing important information Cor intend
ing visitors. The main point of which
is that all visitors, whether connected
with the G. A. R., or not, should Sc
cure their quarters through the com
mittee before coming here, and should
notify the committee when they ex
pect to arrive. This Is timely anC
should be needed by all who intenC
coming to the encampment. 1t viii
save them time, worry and money, al
the committee will allow no extortior
in charges, for anything contracted
for through it. If visitors attempt Il
secure accommodations after they gel
here, on their own hook, they will have
to take their chances of dealing will
persons with or without conscientious
scruples against robbing the stranger
within their gates.
Senators Allison and Jones, two o.
the republican commissioners to the in
ternational monetary conference, hac
talk with Secretary of State Foster
about the conference, this week.
The committee on naval reunions o.
the coming g. A. r. encampment, hat
decided to have built on the white
Lot, where all the reunions are to bt
held, full size model of the old wal
ship Kearsage, in the cabin of which
will be the headquarters of that com
mittee. The model will be 240 feet IN
length and its prov will point directly
to the White House. The idea is con
sidered very happy one.
Mr.. Holman succeeded in having
