An Authoritative Statement Made to the
New York Sup-The Battle VIII BE
Fought Next Tuesday on the Issues OF
the Campaign-Neither n "Crow' Nor q
doodle Campaign.
NEW YORK, Nov. 5 The Sun saws:
Submitted herewith Ia the authorita-
tive statement of the expenses of this
campaign up to date. 1t is not heArsay
evidence; it comes from the highest
sources. In the first place, the nomina-
ton of President Harrison at Mime
apolis cost 100000. This money was
used in paying the expenses of delega-
tons "a little short of funds when they
got on the ground" Since then the Re-
publicans have raised $2,50O,0O0, Of
which President Harrison and cabinet
contributed $42 900; Stephen B. Elkins
and John Wanamaker are not included.
The expenses of the Democrats in the
national fight date from Feb. % last,
when at Albany the anti-snap move
ment was inaugurated. Ex-Mayor
, William Il. Grace as the head of that
movement, demonstrated that he was
no mean money-getter Headquarters
were opened in New York, attached to
which was big literary bureau, all in
the interest of Mr. Cleveland'S nolnina-
ton.
The Syracuse convention was an OK
pensive affair. Free railroad tickets
were provided, but prior to that the ex-
penses of the delegates to that conven-
ton had to be met. The charge of the
Il.
thing, and, all told, the anti-snap move
ment cost 5000, 900.
The nomination of Mr.. Cleveland at
. Chicago cost approximately $500, 900.
This statement is made on the authority
Of a member of the national Democratic
committee The Democrats have been
compelled to face the same increased eX-
penses in the different states that their
Republican adversares have. The ex-
penses at national headquarters have
been larger proportionately than at Mr..
Carriers shop. The Democratic commit
tee has been compelled each week to
face a salary list two yards long.
Ex-President Cleveland and the mem
bers of his cabinet have contributed
100000. This does not include the
money raised by Mr. Whitney in New

from the two headquarters in the last
few days will perhaps demonstrate
clearly more than anything else just
where the fight is. There may be one
OF two errors in the Republican sched-
ule, for the reason that one or two state
ments could not actually be confirmed,
but 1t is approximately correct.
The Republican schedule is as follows:
New York. $600,O00 New York city,
$50, 900; Indiana, $685. 900; Connecticut,
100000; Alabama, 800, 600; Delaware,
$25, 900. Total, SLIPS. 900.
Funds have also been sent to Virginia,
Wisconsin, Illinois. Iowa, Nebraska and
Kansas. The Democratic schedule is
correct 1t is furnished by an eminent
atthority. The funds distributed by
the Democrats have been sent as follows
New York state, 100000; New York
city, 100000; Indiana, $i4Q,000; Ohio,
$50, 1000; Virginia, &l5, 600; West Virginia,
$4,000; Connecticut, $4,000; North
Carolina. $4,000. Total, $715, 900.
In the foregoing schedule the amounts
sent into New Jersey and distributed
from the branch headquarters of the ma
tional Democratic committee in Chicago
are not included These amounts could
not be ascertained. 1t will appear,
therefore, that this is neither a "crow'
nor "boodle" campaign. The battle
to be fought Tuesday next will be de-
termined by the issues or the campaign,
notwithstanding the comments TO the
contrary.
