Out of 1000 delegates to the St.
Louis convention Parker is credited
with from $50 to 27O who are under
definite instructions. The Hearst col
umn is placed at from $50 to $50 or
therea bouts. Wisconsin's twenty-six
are instructed for Edward C. Wall,
OF that state The thirty-two from
NIassa ehusetts are under orders to sup
port Olney, and the handful from Della
ware are nOminally bound to Gray.
1t is evident that somewhat more
than One-haf have been pledged. and
that not far from four hundred are in
the ''uninstructed' class. A consid-
cradle proportion of these are ranked
according to their expressed prefer
ences, Parker leading in this respect
as he does in the instructed strength
at the disposal of his managers. But
when due allowance has ben made for
this element there remain several
hundred delegates whose position re-
mains to be yet decided. It has been
freely predicted that the votes of the
Olney and Wall delegations would be
delivered to Parker when they were
needed. In this case he would still
need over two hundred votes from the
mass of delegates who have not yet
publ ely. declared their choice to give
him the two-thirds vote required.

The cost of political campaigns has
increased tremendously since Lincoln
ran for president. The Republican
campaign of 1861 cost about 500, 900.
The cost OF the campaign of 1900 was
about $4,000 900. Maintaining head
quarters costs at least $4,000 a day.
Great parades cost from $4,000 to
$4,000 each in New York or Chicago.
Great public meetings cost from sS.-
O00 to $4,000 apiece. According to
conservative estimates the legitimate
campaign expenses of the rival parties
this year Will reach 100000. In
1895. the late Chairman Hanna was
worried about Iowa toward the close

said to have cost the Republican com
mittee $4,000 The result showed
that McKinley's election was assured.
Iowa gave the McKinley's electors
$1,000 plurality.

Pulling slowly on his cigar. the west

other suitable medium and projected
on a screen, just as they might be by
a physician giving a lecture and show

and their habits. Alongside of the

She may do with impunity in Sarato-

She may go through the drives alone

alone; she may sit out the concerts in
the evening or watch the moonlight on
