REPUBLICANS SHORT OF CASH.
Slender supply in Hand With Which
to Oppose Democrats.
CNew York Herald)

! There is a shortage of cash in the Re.
! publican campaign chest which is giving
| the managers of Colonel Roosevelt's cam
paign some embarrassment. While the
! Democrats have at their disposal an enor-
nous campaign fund.- the Republicans
have only enough in sight to meet rou-
tine expenses.
There are several reasons for the Re
publican deficit. During the early part
of the campaign they believed that Roose-
yelts campaign i'm Cuba would elect him
TO certainty, and they did not think II
necessary to raise money. When they
walked from this pleasant dream they
found il difficult 10 arouse others, and
checks were slow in coming.
WALL STREET NOT GENEROUS.
Wall street, which supplied so much
money i'm 1896 TO elect Mckinley. has not
proved responsive to appeals this year.
The fInanciers cannot be convinced that
they are in any immediate danger of free
silver while the present administration
lasts. and, feeling that they have paid
Tor immunity once, they are reluctant 70
do so again.
Getting out the registration was more
expensive than usual this year. owing TO
the determination Of both sides 10 enroll
their full vote. In some OF the interior
counties the work rescmbled an election
day rather Than preliminary canvass.
Republican apathy in the beginning Of
the campaign made 1t difficult TO raise
money. Some of those who were In the
habit Of giving believed Roosevelt was
sure TO be elected. while others did not
care much whether he was or not This
affected the size of their contributions.
Consequently the Republicans have a COM
paratively small sum TO be employed in
meeting and neutralzing the expendl-
lures Of their opponents. Many districts
i'm this city have been compelled TO get
along with a mere pittance. and some OF
them have not had a penny from the
State or county committee.
LIVELY SPEAKING CAMPAIGN.
Large outlay has been required TO pay
the expenses Of the speaking and public
meetings deemed necessary 10 arouse the
Republican rank and file. In fOrty-one
counties OF the State six meetings have
been arranged for each county. In ST.
Lawrence county no less than twenty-nine

of the city might attempt such vio-
lence, has placed an extra military
guard around Consul General Lees Of
