REPLIES OF THE CHAlRMEN
To the Proposition to Have Campaign
Fund Books Examined.

NEW YORK, Oct 10 In view of the call
TOR funds by Chairman IIarrity and
Chairman Dickinson. there has been a
natural interest q ascertain the size OF
the check contributed by ex-President
Cleveland.
II will he recalled that four years AGO
be sent his check to Chairmrn Calvin S.
Brice for $4,000. The announcement was
made at headquarters that three weeks
ago Mr.. Cleveland contributed his check
Tor SO 600. The check was turned over TO
Treasurer Roosevelt, and by him sent to
the Holland Trust company. Ii is also
reported that Mr.. Cleveland's personal
friends, f.. c. Benedict, Mr.. Whitney and
Mr.. Dickinson, have each contributed $l0-
0O0 The amount of Chairman lIarrity's
check was SIS. but in view Of the fact that
Mr.. Harrity contributes his services "a
chairman, nothing more was expected
from him.
There were plenty Of aver ues opened for
the expenditure of the contribution OF
Cleveland and his three personal friends.
The Democratic national campaign of 1884,
according TO the best authorities, cost
about $4,000, while that OF 1889 cost
about sl,0000D0 The expenses Of this
campaign will run to higher figures, for
the reason that the fight extends over
more states.
Blaine May Speak.
Up at Chairman Carriers national Re
publican camp, the next important dis
ciission was over the report Of the com
mittee which has just returned from Bar
Harhor. The committee requested Mr..
Blaine that. il his health permitted,
he should make one or two speeches either
in Maine or in New York. The committee
returned and reported that Mr.. Blaine
said that, while his health was greatly i'm
proved, his domestic Affections had caused
him great sorrow. He did not like the
idea of appearing on public platform,
but il his health permitted he would
waive his personal comfort, and do any
thing reasonable that the national COM
mittce desired He is TO answer definitely
in little while.
Republican Campaign Fund.
The subject OF money also came up at
Mr.. Carter's bureau. At the beginning Of
the campaign IL was thought necessary
that fund Of s2. .OO0, 900 should be raised.
While the committee have been very sue
cessful, the contributions have not yet
reached that high water mark, but II il
said that before the month ls out every
thing will be all right.

tion purposes large numbers Of negroes

declared to be the chief instrument EN-
ployed in this manipulation OF colored
voters, and 1t is asserted that he has three
