DISTRICT CONFERENCE CAMPAIGN SOAP1 interfere3 with THE BIO PARADE. ( ' I , It Will Be Forthcoming When Hanna Cries Out. i THE BUSINESS OF CONTRIBU TIONS HAS BEEN REDUCED TO A STRICT BASIS. Washington, July 26. The Rejubll cana are, or are pretending to be, short of money this year. The financiers of their national committee are asserting that is is "short," but whether their words are put forth because they are true or because they fear they will be true, or because they want to conceal, the truth, is the Question. Of course If they admit that they have plenty of money, it will be hard to get other sub scriptions, and then, too, their cause might be prejudiced in the minds of the voters by the belief that they have an Immense campaign fund. There is no doubt that the Republicans did suffer somewhat by assertions of this character In 1886, though of course, not so much as they would have1 done bad not the assertions been true. Han na then had at his command a fund of about $5,000,000, though estimates ran all the way up to $15,000,000. The probabilities are that, while cer tain contributions are assured, others are still doubtful and the committee men desire to make sure of these. Herice the reports they are giving out. There is little doubt that certain sources of campaign funds, which have heretofore been tapped and flowed free ly, have this summer given forth at best but a meagre and attenuated stream not sufficient in volume to turn the wheels of the machine. There is an indifference on the part of many whilom contributors, which the leaders assert smacks of base ingratitude. The trusts and manufacturers who are flourishing under the Dlngley bill are loth, in many Instances, to render due thanks to the party which made their prosperity possible. Seeing no Im mediate prospect of a repeal of that act, they are inclined to withhold their contributions and to lose Interest In the campaign. The banks also, having received much desired financial legisla tion and believing It is secure for some time to come, are backward in putting up cash for political purposes. On the' other hand the assured sources are definite and pretty well known to the Democrats as well as the Republicans. The former even know approximately the amounts various large trusts and other corporations have promised to contribute. It is said that these subscriptions are baEe'd upon a sort of sliding seal0 that will be con trolled altogether by the exigencies of the campaign. That Is to say all the heavy contributors are to give a cer tain per cent, of their promised sub sciiptlons as soon as Mr. Hanna calls for It. Then as the campaign proceeds and the need of money Increases they are to come up with another install ment. This matter, it Is stated, has been reduced to a strict business basis in that the calls for Installments are to be made through a special committee, of which. the Hon. Cornelius N. Bliss of New York Is chairman. A member of this special committee, it is said, will make a clear exhibit of the campaign needs to certain trusts, railroad and financial magnates of his acquaintance, and the work being divided up on this principle can be carried out smoothly, effectively and without publicity. This does rtnt indicate any lack of confidence on the part of the heavy contributors In either Mr. Hanna's judgment or In tegrity, but is solely for the purpose of expediting the collections and dis bursements of the campaign fund. The work will be started with only a few millions in the treasury, but as the de mands for money grow the cash will be forthcoming up to $20,000,000 or more Still, every little bit helps and the small fry will not be neglected, but will be called upon to put up what they can, In order to pay for the distribution of campaign "literature." On the other hand, there is little doubt that the Democrats will be some what better supplied with funds this year than they were In 1896. In that campaign Senator Jones and his asso ciates had less than $600,000 all told. This statement is based upon Informa tion that came from one of the men who handled the finances in the last cam paign. The same authority la responsi ble for the assertion that the bulk of this amount came to the national com mittee when the campaign was more than half over. If the money had been available at the beginning of the fight it is strongly contended by persons with an Intimate acquaintance with the conditions that Mr. Bryan would have been elected or Mr. Hanna would have had to spend ten millions more. It Is thought that the Democrats this year can get as much as two millions if It is shown that that amount will be needed. Quite half of this will be at the dispo sal of the Bryan campaign managers within the next month. CRITTENDEN MARRIOTT. The torchlight procession which was arranged for last evening was j post poned on account of the weather. A meeting was beld in the court house for the benefit of the large crowd that had gathered on court place, tfxpectlng .to Join the procession. Dillon M. Luther, esq., was called for. Although ha was hoarse and rather tired, having spoken at Leicester dur ing the day, Mr. Luther spoke at length on the Issues of the campaign, and fairly beat his own record, His words came like hot shot and his tre. mendous enthusiasm soon communi cated Itself to his audience. Mr. Luther spoke of the fears which led him at first to antagonize the pro posed amendment to the constitution, and of the reasons which Impelled him to re-align himself with his party By citing In turn the cases of an ed ucated white man and an educated ne gro; an illiterate white man of foreign descent and an illiterate negro whose father was a slave; and of an Illiterate white man and an Illiterate negro both of whom would be entitled to vote un der the fifth section, Mr. Luther gave a simple and comprehensible Illustration of the constitutionality of the measure, which was at the same time a very con vincing one. J. S. Adams, esq., was then called for. He spoke briefly, but said much. Among other pertinent statements was the one that the amendment would not be contrary to the constitution of the United States If It disqualified every negro voter in the state, without dis crimlnaton, for the simple reason that the fourteenth and fifteenth amend ments were never embodied in the con stitution according to the proper pro cess, as set forth in that Instrument itself, and therefore these supposed amendments are not amendments in law or in fact, and would so be decided by any fair minded and untrammeled court. E. Coffin was called for and made an earnest talk, giving his experience as a cltUen of Charleston under negro rule. Mr. Coffin earnestly appealed to every man of conscience to vote for the measure. Mr. Murphy stated that, owing to the fact that there is one unpaved street along the line proposed for the torch light procession, it had been necessary to postpone it. and that It would be consolidated fwlth the procession to be given Monday night.

Yesterday our county candidates met at Terry's Fork to discuss the. Issues. A good crowd met. Mr. Roberts, the Demo cratic nominee, opened the discussion for one hour and held the crowd In sl ence, and theway he poured hot shot Into Ebbs and the Mrashall ring was worth hearing. Then came Mr. Ebbs, the Republican nominee, and for his hour he tried to criticise the party and his opponent. Mr. Ebbs wound up by aylng tn his squirming way that he as ashamed to have to discuss the issues the way he did. He commented on Mr. Gudger's remarks heretofore. Then each had 15 minutes reply, which were hard on the county officials. Mr. v an Davis announced himself as a candidate far register in a few words, then drew out several sheet cvered with figures, and, as he thought to ex cuse the ring. But he did not g t far till he was proving what Mr. Rtberts had said of the ring. Mf. Ebbs called him down at once, as the facts were too hard to meet.
