Anybody who reads half dozen lines Of this
article will observe that it refers to money
and other matters OF more than ordinary In
tercst In the closing days OF the campaign. SO
many statements havo been made by ire
sronsible persons that tho people have been
more or less befogged. In fact, in the last
week or two the issues OF this campaign have
been practically smothered by the chatter over
influences which nre as old as the nation and
which have nothing to do with the present
contest. The best men in tho two national
camps admit that this has been \ mighty
queer campaign.
IL appears from their comments that this
campaign opened unwor.hily when 1t was
dubbed Tho Crow Campaign" 1t was ex-
planned yesterday that tho politicians in both
parties. after tho Minneapolis and Chicago
conventions. were more or less disappointed
over the candidates named. and some OF tho
extremely bitter ones proceeded to call 1t "T The
Crow Campaign" signifyinG that they had
been compelled to swallow tho black bird Of
disappointment But it was explained yester.
day by competent authorities that the men
who thus christencd the fight had forgotten
their studies in the history Of political conven-
tions.
1t was recalled that there were dlsappont-
ments in the Convention which nominated
George Washington. There were political
heartburnings after tho Convention which
| nominated John Adams. and all along down
the line the disappointed have been humorous.
