hoard predictions of Republican success based upon
the ability OF that party to purchase the votes OF
the people Mr.. Depew pronounced absurd the re-
ports that the Republican party had great cam
paign fund Such reports were grossly eNag-
No, luro md 1aui ts
paign expenses, and for these every one knew
money must be collected But when il came 10
the collection Of campaign funds all knew that the
Democrats excelled the Republicans in this kind
OF business The Democratic campaign fund in
variav was NJ least % per cent greater than the
Republican fund
The Democratic leaders assessed rcm0rSelrssly the
Democratic oflicc-holders OF New-Yorll, BROOKLYN
Albany. Buffalo and other Democratic cities who
received many millions Of dollars In salaries yea Is.
Then the Democratic State officers and their en-
nlovcs were assessed H. was strange that Mr

Cleveland certainly was aware that there were
large lcgitimat.. clmpairn expenses for he had
contributed $4,000 20 p1y them himself Mr.
