hat time he was secretary Of the COM
mittee. he was especially active In
the historic campaign Of 1876. Yet in
all his experience he never heard OF q
campaign fund approaching a million
dollars.
Prior 70 1850 the largest fund raised
was by Henry J. Raymond, chairman
Of the committee In 1864. He Is under
stood to have had $500, 900 with which
20 manage the campaign for the reelec-
ton Of Abraham Lincoln. The fund
for Garheid's election In 1880 was
somewhat larger than this. and in 1884
both national committees had funds
which were regarded as generous In
comparison with what had gone be-
fore.
The first fund running up into the
millions, however, was n 1883, when
n. s. Quay, as chairman Of the repub-
lican national committee, induced the
great manufacturers Of the country To
contribute generously to prevent the
reelection Of Cleveland. In 1892 the
democratic committee had a campaign
fund larger than the republicans had
in 1883, while the republican fund was
very small. In 1896 and 1890, the re-
publican fund mounted high, but even
In those years with Bryan as a candl-
date the democratic fund was larger
than any republican fund had ever
been before. The republican campaign
fund in 1904 promises to be small.
