WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. S.-There
has been a little more life in the cam
paign this week. D Emissaries from
New York have been here to gather
up share of the dollars that they
have right to expect were dropped
in Washington by the old soldiers.
Money is the much needed article in
the Republican campaign, and more
efforts have been made to persuade the
government employees that their help
would be appreciated. That was part
of the mission of Messrs. ClarkSOl and
Hobart but their success was not phe-
nominal. The average government
the collar and shout himself hoarse for
Harrison and Reed. He is no longer
source of revenue for campaign pur-
poses. He lives unto himself and
doesn't care a toss up whether Benja-
min Harrison or Victoria Woohull is
the next President. Sometimes he
has to pay a premium to keep his
place, but it is like pulling eye-teeth.

assessment.
WANAMAKER'S SOAP GREASE.
John Wannamaker is understood to
be the member of the Cabinet who re
Gently sent in his check for $50, 600.
Mr. Wannamaker is credited with
having given 100000 in the last cam
paign, but he stated sometime ago
| that he will not be a member of the
| Cabinet another four years even if Mr..
| Harrison is elected.
Secretary Noble is one of the PreSi-
dents advisers who usually manages
| to keep in the shade, but he came tC
the front Wednesday night with his
mite of campaign OratOry. Along
with Elkins and Secretary Foster, OF
| the treasury, he has the courage to
praise the administration of which he
| is part, and part that does not
| reflect great deal of credit upon the
| judgment of the President. Republic
cans consider him the smallest man in
| the Cabinet and blame him with the
unenviable record of the administra
| tion in the conduct of the Pension and
| Census Bureaus. Should the uneXpec
| ted occur there would be no great sur
prise if General Noble should be left
| out of the Cabinet after the fourth O1
| next March.
Secretary Chas. Foster, who has
| been bestOwing so much fatherly at
| tention upon the Republican party il
North Carolina, has about reached
| the conclusion that his friends have
| been showing him rainbows. He
| leaves in few days for an extended
| fishing and campaigning tour in the
| West.
| CLEvELAND's ROUND.
| This week has been Cleyeland's
| round, and the Democratic champion
| will get out of his corner Monday
| morning as fresh as when he wa:
nominated and in much better fight
| ing condition. The Republican:
| about the capitol are very busy try
| ing to explain a way the effect of tht
serious break in their ranks that ha
| occurred this week, but notwithstand
ing all their efforts it is plain tha
they are worried. Indiana Demo
Gratis here say that there is no longe
any doubt about Indiana, since Ores
Cleveland. The loss of two infiuen
tial and popular ex-Cabinet officer
and several lesser lights all in
bunch is enough to make the Repuh
licanS here who have a vital intereS
in the result, wear long faces.
| Then the news from Florida an,
Georgia takes the wind out of thei
sails. They begin to realize now tina
the South will be in her old place O.
the sth of November. North Caroli
| ma Republicans who want to get ia
off the Doodle, which they claim is a
that is necessary to make North Care
lima a Republican State, anticipate
the results in the Southern election
this week, and have been making al
| other desperate effort to get thei
hands deeper into Mr.. Carter's trea:
ury.
EAvES is VERY CUNNING
in his more recent trips to Washing
ton. He comes in late at night, an
doesn't register, but an obServant ey
may see his ghost fitting about til
Treasury building, and the Nation;
Hotel.
The national committee will pract
cally abandon the fight in the Sout
since the inglOrious defeat of tt
! | Weaverites and make New York tt
scene of the final struggle. That r
publican money has already gone int
North Carolina there is no doubt bl
the supply will probably be cut shor
, If North Carolina does not retul
!. her Democratic Congressman it wi
t not be the fault of the COMPRESSION
. Ecampaign committee. This commi
tee has had charge of the distribute
of literature under the COMPRESSION
= frank and North Carolina has receive
already more than her prODortiona
share.
