The New York correspondent of the Times gives on Tuesday
some details of the Republican campaign fund. The total sum subscribed was a little over £330,000, in addition to some £124,000 distributed to the various State Committees. There is apparently an unspent balance. Mr. Taft's brother, Mr. C. P. Taft, heads the list with a subscription of £22,000. Mr. Carnegie and Mr. Pierpout Mqrgan gave £4,000 each. Mr. Roosevelt gave £200. The names of Mr. Rockefeller and Mr. Harriman do not appear, in spite of the play made with their names by Democratic orators. The Democratic Party has also filed its balance-sheet. The receipts amount to £124,128, and the expenses to £123,882. The Republican fund is said to be less than on any occasion within the past twenty-fire years. But formerly no statements of funds were published, and we suspect that mystery as usual led to considerable overestimates.
