This, however. 18 different from what conditions were in the past. The elec- tion of Abraham Lincoln cost the Re publicans onlv J200.00Q. The Democrats pent as much on Douglas, while the . slave-holdinir wintt of the party Is said to have spent more to eieci jonn i. Brocklnrldge. Four years later the Democrats had little or no money with . General McClellan as their standanl bearer, while Mr. Lincoln could have had an unlimited fund from financial Interests in the north that believed the war should he continued with him in the White House and the Issue with the southern .states settled definitely. Ut ile money was needed in 1868 or 1 S72 o far as the Republicans were con cerned. The Democratic party was not In a position either year to conduct a very aggressive campaign. In the lat ter year, friends of Governor Seymour raised a fund, but It amounted to noth ing compared with what General Grant had, or could have had, to bring about his reelection. " Big Campaign Panda. Bis; campaign funds were not the rule until 1876. That year the supremacy of the Republican party was seriously threatened because of the scandals dur ing the administration of General Grant. Th Democratic narty had named Sam- not jf. Tildnn. a. man who commanded admiration throughout thefcountry. Ab raham 8. Hawett, thsnlalready a man of means, was managing the campaign for the Democrats ana Henry wauerson .'was helping him and looking after V, 1. ma 4n th smith Nanrlv a. million i dollars was spent that year. The con ' servatlve estimated lf-trt $800,000 but tht figure la -entirely too low. Cleveland and Blalns. More than $1,000,000 was spent in the campaign -of 1S84. Both James G. Blaine and Grover Cleveland had hosts of friends and admirers among the wealthy '. element and these contributed lib erally to the party fund. Four years , later, there was the great battle over V the tariff Issue. Two millions dollars I were nairl to have been spent. The fig ures are also conservative. There is I the well founded belief that the manu- f&cturing interests of Pennsylvania and New England alone raised more than this sum not so much for party but bus iness reasons. The figures have been mounting upward ever since. In tho tf . T I I ,....t..ru,H MOIII 1. ,11 "I"1 ! ...i n'.. ..... n..',.,il,li, linn uncut $50,000 In, liana was. of course, another ,i -I,.!..

The wemocraiin num ince lor vlcr-preniilent was Allen G. Thurman. an Ohio man. The Democrats spent $100, 0n0 trying to swing the state while the Rcp".'llf'Hn fund was three times greater. Much bribery went on In th- state that year. It Is charged that the voters were bought in blocks of five. Hftnn Spent Tortuns. Mark llanna spent a fortune during the closing days of the campaign of 1SH6. The reports from the west while Mr. Bryan was swinging the circle se riously alarmed the Republican manag ers. A cull for more money was there fore snt out by them. The financial Interests immediately responded. In the state of Iowa which the Republicans be lieved had become doubtful, mote than $20t),000 was expended. There was a similar situation In 1888. lour days before the election, Matt Qua, then chairman of the Republican national coiiwnittee notified Senator Plft of New York that he must have $200,000. The money was raised with the assist ance of Collls r. Huntington. The sit uation during the closing days of 1BS4 also worried the Republican managers, and caused them to ask for more money. They decided that New York, New Jer sey and Connecticut were doubtful and that $160,000 were needed to swing these states. James G. Blaine, their standard bcarrr, contributed $25,000 of this sum and other members of the party a like amount. The managers asked the can didate to advance the rest. They prom ised It would be repaid to him after the election. Mr. Blaine accordingly ad vanced $100,000 more. The amount was never repaid and it is said tuat to re coup bis losses Blaine wrote his fa mous "Twenty Years In Congress. ' Contributors. The business interests and corpora.- i,.-n olwain been liberal contrib utors to the party campaign funds. The large ones usually give to both fides, the biggest check to the one most likely to win. During the campaigns of 18!b and 1900, however, the eastern business and corporate interests were hostile to Mr Bryan, and In the first campaign, i.i.. fi.nri ramfi entirely from the west. The next time he ran, the Democrats' j tried the emlless chain system. So con- fldent were tne irienas oi car. oijan afler 1 896 that he could be named again in 1800 that they started to raise money this way as early as 1897. It was by r.i-,vulnir country districts for sub- sc.itntlons of a dollar a month. The hv this method, however; was entirely inadequate. The candidacy of Mr. Cleveland, on the other hand, al ways attracted heavy comrinuiors. When he became the nominee of his partv In 1892. the fund at the disposal of the Demorrats was very large, much of it being raised by William C.

There are, first, the legitimate campaign expenses. National headquarters has between 40 end 1W employes. Their wages and the int amount to $3,000 a day. Some of these employes are absolutely super fluous. In many instances they have been put there to conciliate some now trful man or faction of the party and they render nothing in return for their salary. During the campaign of 1004 a former United States senator and friend of Mr. Bryan was drawing $150 a week from Democratic national headquarters though what service he rendered In re turn nobody knew. The next expense is for speakers. More men than the assistants. Levi r. Morton was wen I known m. collector of camnatstn funds. I I His s stein was to make a list of those I on whom he intended to call with the . amount he expected them to contribute set opposite their names. J ney usually responded favorably. Oolleoting Funds. Marshall Jewell also had a reputa tion as u Republican collector, having j raised as much as $70,000 In Boston in a single day. During the tariff fight In 1SK8, John Wanamnker acted for the i Republicans in Pennsylvania and got tOKethor nearly 1500.000. Stephen B. Elkins was also a famous collector. The late Roswell P.
