HUNTING DUCATS.
EVIDENCE THAT HANNA'S BARREL
HAS BEEN TAPPED.
Playing Poor, However, BY theA
Statement That the Cou.s,1it tee,s'
Purse is Not at All PIethoric.

NEW YORK, Aug. 29-Chairmau
Hanna of the Republican national COM
nlfttee had intended to leave sor Chi
cago tonight, but he has changed his
mind. He will not go west until he has
met and consulted with Senator Quay.
Senator Quay is now at his home In
Beaver, Pa. He will come to town next
Tuesday, and there will be a special
meeting Of the executive committees
after his arrival Senator Quay Is an
experienced national campaigner, and
Mr.. Hanna and his fellow members of
the executive committee are very destr-
GUS TO secure the practical advice of
the Pennsylvania leader. AS director Of
the Harrison campaign in 1888, Mr..
Quay had much to do with collecting
and disbursing the campaign fund, and
Mr.. Hanna and the others want some
advice along these lines.
The raising Of q suitable fund is a
prime essential. but after it is obtained
1T is just as necessary that it be dis
bursed where and how it will do the
most good.
Senator Quay's advice on both these
points is considered good. Nor has ex-
Senator Thomas c. Platt been ignored
in this regard. 1t has been recognized
by Chairman Hanna that Mr.. Platt has

is not very plethoric just now, there is
no fear that they will not have plenty
Of money to pay the expenses Of the
campaign. What is wanted is a little
more at the present time and this is
what is keeping Mr.. Hanna in town
four days longer than he intended to
stay.
The representatives yesterday from
the middle west, where it is conceded
that the great fight of the campaign
is to be made, suggested that victory is
only to be won by hard knocks, and
hard knocks means the spending Of
money for speakers. literature, bands,
campaign equipments, and the like. 1t
is evident that Chairman Hanna is not
going to do any hurrahing about carry
ing the middle western states hereafter,
but will emphasize the necessity of ear
nest and effective campaign work.
A letter from New Jersey says:
"There is no doubt that New Jersey
is safe for sound money. The atti-
tude of the farmers is that of grave
doubt, but not of bigotry. They seem
to be studying the question with great
care ana WDun democratic judgment, ana
will not be carried away by prejudice
or passion. The silverites are leaving
no stone unturned in their canvass. On
Thursday, at the Warren county farm
ers' picnic there was an attendance OF
over 1000. The speakers were silver
ties, one of them being Mrs. Lease OF
Kansas. Her audience heard, or pa
tiently applauded much that she
said, but shook their heads and remain

To make a general observation,
would say that all the Republicans win
vote with their party. some of the Dem
ocrats will vote for the same ticket.
others will swallow the Bryan medi-
cine but many, very many, will stay
at home unless a third ticket should
successfully appeal to them
