like the corsets, is intended for the

TALK OF CAMPAIGN ROLLS.

There is just one feature OF the cur

and that is contained in the statement
that the committee has given Mr.. Tag
gart no large green roll of money for
use in Indiana. This is highly PROB
able. The fact is the committee has
40 rolls to give cut. The New YORK
American comes out with large head
line announcing that the Democratic
rational committee proposes TO raise
81 Geo GOO. two million of which is to
be used in New York and that with
this the Democrats hope to offset the
s.. S.OG0. coo campaign fund which the
Republicans already have in hand.
How dead easy it is to deal in ois
figures, The Democratic national
committee would rot be at all averse
to getting its hands upon four millions

rate it is authOTitatively stated that
the Democrats have no fund to speak
