ELECTION EXPENSES.
They Are Being Called for From
Rockville once Holders.

Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
ROCKVILLE, October Is. 1893.
The receipt last week by two or three
democratic officials at this place Of requests
to contribute from their salaries In aid Of
the campaign fund is the first intimation
to anybody in this section that any cam
paign was in progress. No meetings nave
been held or even announced. no speakers
have been engaged. and where the expense
item of this supposed campaign comes In
is a subject of much speculation. About
the only point in the present contest that
has elected any comment in this county
Is the recent alliance, offensive and defen-
sive, between the ring managers and a
portion Of the independent" leaders in
Baltimore and this action is attributed to
the desire of having solid delegation from
that city in favor Of an assessment law
favorable to the interests Of the city and
to have that delegation solidly backed up
by members from the counties who know
no law of action except that dictated by
the bosses. This state of affairs Is evident
ly giving the managers in this county some
uneasiness.
The officers Of registration for the several
election districts Of the county will hold
their last meeting for the present year to-
morrow for the purpose of revision and for
the hearing of applications for reinstate-
ment by persons whose names have been
stricken from the lists. Persons not sat
iShed with the decisions of the registers
can then appeal to judge of the circuit
court. The democrats claim that the pres
ent registration will add considerable to
their vote in the county. while the repub-
licans claim that they have gained in sew
eli of the districts.
