ON election day. A much larger amount
Of money has gone out from the Demo-
cratic national commrAtee headquarters
this year than ever be faro in Presi-

managers OF Mr.. Ceveland'.s campaign
that there is only one thing that will

The Democratic national committee
has had tho distribution OF no loss
than S2,000OO0, outside oil the money
that has been raised by tho Democratic
state committee for this state iEone.
few DAYS ago 100000 OF this sum
was divided between Indiana and Con-
necticut, and yesterday Sly5OO,OOO vas
divided between these two states aLu
New Jersey. The great gains that tlA'
Republicans have been making in these
states made it absolutely necessary Tor
the Democrats to send into them these
enormous sums OF money TO prevent
the carrying OF them, II they COULD by
the Republicans.
New Jersey is the state that IS giving
the Democratic national committee
most OF the trouble now. Chairman
Harrity's agents, who have been going
through that state, have reported TO
him that it will be impossible to save 1t
unless they have greenbacks enough to
nlaster the state thoroughly with them.
Mr.. Harrity was certain that some
thing was wrong when his agents re-
norted a weo!; ago that the Democrats
Who are in control OF this state were
willing to mako trades with those Re
publicaus who could be induced 10
make bargains by giving votes for the
Republican national ticket in exchange
for the Democratic candidate for gov,
eraor. Since then he had men going
through the state trying in various
wavs to Influence" the independent
Republicans and the independent DEM
ocrats TO make their trades the other
way. ii they will trade. He mas learnC4
that the desire to trade comes only
from the Democrats. who wish to re-
main in control OF the state patronage,
ON account Of the great inroads that the
Republican candidates for President
and Vice President and for governor
are making in the Democratic vote IN
that state.
1t was said yesterday on the best oil
authority that the Democrats would not
have less than 100000 in New Jersey
when the polls open next Tuesday morn
ing. Indiana will have better treat.
ment than New Jersey on account OF
the desire. OF the Democratic national
committee to defeat General Harrison
in his own state. Chairman Harrity
has been reported as saying that he
would rather do this than carry New
York state for Cleveland. This is owing
to the result OF the campaign oil TOUR
years ago, when General Harrison car
ried this state against Mr.. Cleveland.
1t was said by member OF the DEM
ocratic national committee Yesterday
that in all the Democrats will have
spent 81, 100000 in Indiana in this cam
paign. This includes tie $500, 900 that
was sent out there in two lots OF $780,
600 each, come time ago, and 500, 900
that is now on the way there in the
hands OF an express company. The
money has not been sent to prominent
member of the Democratic party in
that state. The Democrats are too sly
for that, but it has gone to a well known
business man, who will turn it over to
the Democratic leaders on Thursday
morning. Then it will be sent TO the
leaders in the various districts, who
have been instructed to pay as high as
500 vote, il necessary. In fact, they
have been told to spare nothing and
to refuse no sum to get votes away IRON
the Republicans.
Connecticut has been cut down to
S3OO,00O. With that amount OF money
the Democrats think they can Just save
the state for Cleveland, but they expect
to pay about the highest price that they
ever paid for votes there One OF the
members OF the committee, who comes
from an eastern state, raised objections
to the amount OF money that was going
TO Connecticut because OF the trouble
it will cause in campaigns for the future.
"You won't be able TO get vote Tor
member OF the assembly, alter this,
under 500, if you send this sum OF
money there now. and all through
New England the Democrats will here
after expect to be paid royalty for their
votes ii you give so much for them IN
Connecticut now" was his argument
He told them to send their money into
other states, and let Connecticut 80.
The Democratic state committee has
practically all OF the money that it
wants to use in the campaign. Every
source OF supply has been drained to
the utmost, and the Democratic work
ers in tho country have been told to
die low" and uae the money that comes
10 them Mt tho polls. Outside of New
York and Kings counties, the Democratic
leaders OF which have agreed to supply
their own funds and manage their own
campaign, the Democratic state COM
mittoe will have in cold cash on Tues
day morning between $500, 900 and $780,
OO0. Tammany Hall has raised already
Sl,5o0,000 in this city Tor use here, and
"Boss" McLaughlin's crowd in Brook
lyn have got together not less than
100000. Every dollar Of this money
is to be used in buying votes, in spite
OF the fact that Grover Cleveland stood
IN last night before an audience OF
mon and acclaimed against the use OF
money by tho Republicans. When the
Democrats want to cover up their own
misdeeds and do this sort OF dirty work,
they ALWAYS have some one OF their
more respectable members make the,
sort OF speech that Mr.. Cleveland
made last night.
