 immense sums began to be expended for the election Of Presidents In 1899. when the late William. C. Whitney. of New York. and other prominenk citizens of the metropolis, whe were aSsociated with him in financing the third Cleve- land campaign. ~Taised more than s4,- 900. .0OO
 President Harrlsoas war chest that year was pitifully small in comparison but condftions were reversed in 1896, when the republicans had a fund ap- proxinateiy as large as the democrats had four years before. while some thing like e400,00O was handled by the democratic national chairman, the late Senator Jones, of Arkansas.
 Tn 1900 contributions to the repub- lican fund were not 50 generous as h lsss, and the sum disbursed that year was about S2.760.00O. The Bryan fund was about the same as 1t was in his fret campaign.
 In 1904, when Mir Roosevelt was else. ted, nearly s2,000, 900 was raised by the republican committee. The exact sum was Sl,e00,00o. as was stated in The Enquirer about c year after the elee- Lions lH WHlCn ASCuEANS anu dulHHHttC data were furnished concerning the ex- penditures in the interest of the repub- llcan nominee.
 The managers of Judge Parker-Au- gust Belmont. William r. Sheehan and others--never produced the figures showing what 1t had cost to finance tho democratic campaign, but Is has been the understanding of men associated with them that they spent at least as much ss was disbursed by Chairman Cortelyou and Treasurer Bliss. In some quarters the impression Is that they used considerably more.
 The lump expenditures by the, re- publieans four years ago were as fol- lows;
 Remittances to state committees in need of funds. s650.009; for literature. Se60. 900; maintenance of speakers bu- reaus, et75.000; Autographs. advertis- Ing, &c.. si50,000; salaries and expen- ses at headquarters. $l50.ooo: miscel- laneous expenditures, e50.000. balance on hand at the close of the campaign S10o. 900.
 Of course these figures do not repre- sent the aggregate cost of a Presiden- tial campaign. for they are exclusive of the sums raised by the respective state committees. It Is only when these committees find themselves run nin6 short and are unable to raise money at a crucial stage of the cam paign that the national committee. if able. comes to their assistance.
 In view of the anticipated difficulty In collecting money this year. the national committee will have to notify the committees early in the campaign that, for the most part they must da-

 The literary features of the national contest have been growing in costliness since ls96. when both parties under took to instruct the voters--on the money question.
 In all probability the greatest indiv- uai Item this year will be for litera- ture. inasmuch as there are several subjects on which the managers of both parties deem the electorate insuf- ficently informed at this time. More over, 1t Is expected that the mainten- ance of the speakers bureaus of both committees will be more expensive than usual for the same reason.
 It was admitted by members of the national committee, who called on Mr. Bryan. at Lincoln two weeks ago. that the den1ocratis easily could expend this year as much as was raised by each party in 1904. and no doubt the rapuh. iican leaders entertain a similar vfaR.
