POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP.

That Philadelphia Fund.-It is an
nounced with gleeful shout of triumph
from Philadelphia that Mayor Ashbridge
is now able to claim SSi 900 toward the
fund Of 100000 guaranteed to the Repub-
lican National Committee for the Conven-
tion. At this end of the line no news has
been given out Of the reception OF funds
since the third installment OF SIS 600 was
sent TO Mr.. Hanna more than month ago.
IL Is intimated that Mayor Ashbridge does
not intend TO permit Mr.. Hanna to get his
hands on whatever money is now held by
the Philadelphia committee or may here
after be collected. The Philadelphians, It
is said desire to use whatever amount
they collect over 81. 600 as an entertain
ment fund. and also TO .defray the eX-
pense of putting the Convention Hall in
shape for the June meet. Ii is expected.
however. that Mr.. Hanna will have some
thing to say about this, and when he emits
a roar Mayor Ashbridge will feel the
earth tremble. All Of the members Of the
local committees connected with the Con
ventiOn arrangements have wiped their
