' ring the occurrence of the political
phenomenon known as a "landalido.
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

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

In the 1'nltei States senate was of
course one cause. 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. Whit-

Employes Ar Vany.
It iV now In order to consider what
this money is spent for. 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.

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
