WORK OF THE CAMPAIGN.
The Effective Work That Was Done by
the State Committee.

publican campaign in Washington To
begin with, it was cheap, the total ex-
penditure Of the central committee fig
uring up little more than $4,000. This
is a sum slightly in excess of the average
cost of canvass in England for sin
gle seat in the house of commons, al
though the results in this state involved
two congressman, two supreme judges,
control Of the legislature and the cleo
ton Of a United States senator. The
campaign fund went into costs for
speakers, literature and its distribu-
ton, and a campaign of correspon-
dence. Under the auspices of the state
committee speakers of distinction, in
five weeks canvass, stumped 80 out of
the "a counties, appearing in 80 odd
cities and towns, and delivering, dur
ing the afternoon and evening, $3.50
speeches. One ton of text books and
six tons of brochure literature were dis
tributed: the private correspondence
will sum up $1,000 letters; detail cores
pondence with central committeeman
and county chairmen, !, 100; private cor
respOndence and correspondence with
trading and rebellious republicans,
1000.
At the same time 80 county newspa-
pers were supplied with editorial matter
of a political and economic nature,
aggregating 100000 words.
The scheme Of the democratic state
central committee to capture the state
legislature and the United States sena-
tor, through fusion deals and trades,
20 of which were accomplished, through
the liberal use of their campaign fund,
in OF n
fusion correspondence having been Sc
cured in number of instances. 1t was
the almost perfect knowledge of the
fusion system and the methods en-
ployed that enabled the republican CEN
trail committee to successfully combat
it. Out of rs fusiOns only seven have
won. The republican press is deserv-
ing, particularly, of commentator for
the patriotic manner in which it stood
up for the principles of the party.
