Special to the Chicago Record.
 NEW YORK Oct. 2.-Senator Cor man and Candidate Sewell are stil here trying to raise funds for Chair man Jones and the rest of the com mittee in Chicago, and they are representing that unless money is forthcoming scon the managers ol MT. Bryan's canvass will have tC shut up shop and go hope. They sey that the silver miners have con- tributed comparatively little to the campaign treasury, and that Mar GUS Daly's subscription of $250, ,0OO, which was extensively advertised, must be divided by 100 Something is expected from the appeal that has just been made to the silver mine owners of Nevada and Utah, but it will not be in any respect sufficient to meet the demands of the commit tee, which is reported to be deeply in debt.
 When Mir Bryan was here, Sen ator German and others tired to interest him in the financial ques- tion, but he declined to have any thing to do with it. He argued that the committee has no need of  money; that the people were for him, and that nothing could prevent them from supporting bis ticket. They say that Mr. Bryan is so con fident that his advice and informa- tion is of little value to the man. agers. He seems to be convinced that there is great uprising of the people against what he calls the money power and that he has been chosen to proclaim the dawn of financial redemption and prosperity.
 A POLITICIANS OPINION.
 An experienced democratic poli tician.of national reputation said to- day that wien Mr. Bryan was here last the stupendous strain upon his nervous system, the loss of sleep and the constant excitement was very apparent, and tha his intense sincerity and earnestness were alarming "de impressed me and others like man in a trance His nervous force is extraordinary, his power of endurance and recupera ton is beyond all that 1 have ever seen in men, but there IS something uncanny about his cohdence in his snccess. He thinks he is going to carry every state in the union He .dosnt consider that the national .committe has any responsibility or labor. He thinks he is doing it all himself. Wherever he speaks he considers the result of the election settled. He cannot conceive that any mau who has feard him speak eau vote against him, and he i@ sub lime in his confidence that the size Of his majority will be measured by the number of speeches he makes.
 COULD NOT COLLECT MONEY.
 Mr. German and Mr. Sewall have seen many of the wealthy democrats of this city, but they have collected very little money, and they do not find many Bryan men. A democrat banker who usually has been de- pended upon for a contribution of $l0,0 ,000 presidential.years, told them yesterday that he did not know single man among all his acquaint- ances in New York who intended to vote for Mr. Bryan, and he advised them that it would be waste of time to continue their search for money. That very fairly describes the sentiment and intentions of the business community, and among politicians a similar feeling prevails.
 The chairman of one of the most important committees of Tamnany Mall said today that every member of that committee would vote for Mckinley. He had taken no interest in the campaign himself, and did not know how the rank and file of the party would vote, but among the people he associated down town teere were no Bryan men.
 Hugh Mclaughlin, the democratic boss in Brooklyn, told MT. German that Kings and Queens counties would give Mckinley the largest majority they had ever cast for any candidate, and there was no use trping to make campaign.
