Lincoln Cess U AUuos
The election of Abraham Lin
coin cost the Republicans only
100000. The Democl ats spent a.
much on Douglas. while the slave
holding wing Of the party Is SAID
to have spent more to elect John
c. Breckinridge. Four years later
the Democrats had little or no
money with General Mcclellan AZ
their standard bearer, while MT
Lincoln could have had an unlim'
tied fund from financial interests
in the north that believed the wal
should be continued with him IN
the White house and the issue
with the southern states settled
definitely. Little money was neeo-
ed In 1868 or 1872 SO far as the
Republicans were concerned. Inc
Democratic party was not In a pc.
sition either year to conduct q very
aggressive camnefgn. In the lattel
year friends OF Governor seymour
raised FUND. but 1t amounted u
nothing compared with what Cen
eral Grant had. or could have had
to bring about his reelection.
Big campaign funds were not the
rule until 1875. That year the su'
premacy of the Republican party
was seriously threatened because
of the scandals during the admins
tration Of President Grant. The
Democratic party had named Sam
uel ]. Tilden, man who com
manded admiration throughout The
country. Abram S. Hewitt, the1
