100000 TO Help secure Their Elec-
tion-Vice President Morton Comes
to the Front With S25,o oo-Elkins,

WASHINGTON, July IS. at takes
l,00o,O to elect President nowadays, 4"
said Chairman Clarkson at Minneapolis in
speaking Of the fact that his candidate for
the nomination, Gen. Russell A. Alger OF
Michigan, was generous as we'll as rich.
This being true it is not strange that Chair
man Carter and the other republican
managers should be feeling very comforta-
bic over the fact which was whispered
around at the capitol that already $3.50 900
Of the 81 900, 900 necessary to elect Harrison
and Reid had been subscribed and that
there were good prospects of getting the re-
mainder in good season. Perhaps ex-
Chairman Garrison felt happier over this
than any of the others, for he expects to be re,
imbursed for what he spent for the national
committee, and in the present era Of good
feeling does not expect to have his account
too closely scrutnized for expenditures ct
Minneapolis or else where in furthsranoe OF
the attempt to beat President Harrison
with Secretary Blaine.
NO NAMES GIVEN OUT.
The names Of the men who have SUBJ
scribed the first $3.50 900 are Of course kept
as secret as anything can be kept in Wash
ington, but among republican senator's and
representatives 1t is believed that President
Harrison himself has promised S25, 900 or
Reid hos not only initiated the example
OF Mr.. Levi p. Morton when a candidate in
1888 by subscribing 800, 900, but has prom
Used more if needed and will also aid Treas
urer Cornelius N. Bliss and the advisory
cummittee of millionsires, which the Presi-
dent and the other party managers are
selecting, in the attempt to secure other
large contributions. Vice President Morton,
by the way, who takes his disappointment
phiiosophically, has, it is said, gracefully
and generously subscribed S25 900 to the
fund to re~elect President Harrison and re-
place himself with Whitelaw Reid.
THE CABINETS QUOTA.
The other subscriptions in hand come, IL
is stated chiefly from Secretary Elkins,
Secretary Foster and Postmaster General
Wanamsker, the three millionaireS of the
cabinet, who are credited with subscribing
SIS. 900 apiece and from the other and
poorer members Of the cabinet who made
up the rema lining $4,000. Treasurer Bliss
and the advisory committee have crafty
ing assurances from Senator Sawyer, SEN
ator Proctor and other millionaires who de-
clined the honor finally thrust upon Chair
man Carter. and who promised large dona-
lions upon being let OFF. The manufactur-
ers interested in the maintenance OF high
tariff duties, and especially those who
framed the Mckinley bill. will be given an
early opportunity to contribute. In this
connection, IL is said that Thomas Doblan
will once more collect subscriptions
In Philadelphia las for the S40O, 900 fund OF
1883 and Christopher L. Magse In Pitts
burg. The advice of the late Senator
Plumb to ''fry the fat" out Of the benefi-
Charles OF the high tariff rates will be carried
out once more. Senator Aldrich, who is
one of the Spokesman OF President Harrison
10 congress, gave them due warning when
be announced authoritatiyeIy on Tuesday
that the tariff was to be the pre-emiuent
issue this year
