COUNTING THE COST.
The Expense of Bjng Elected or De
feated m Kew York City.
New York. Nov, 5. In the gray
dawn of election day about 300 ex
press wagons rattled over the pave
ments of New York, carrying little
Punch and Judy boxes to the elec
tion precincts. As the ticket ped
dlers are not allowed close to the
polling: places these stalls had to be
furnished by the candidates for of
fice, that their workers might be on
the spot. To accommodate the
several parties and factions required
about five booths in each election
district, which made a total ot 3,560
for the citv, and, at $5 apiece, the
cost was $17,800. Around these
were gathered the party workers,
who numbered twenty -five for each
box, making a total of 17,800 men.
They got $; apiece, which called
for $89,000 for their services alone.
When they found an undecided man
they did not lead him to a tree and
talk him to death, but took him di
rectly to the neatest saloon, and gave
him all he wanted to drink. The
good man was grateful, and did as
he was directed, but the heeler drew
on the candidates for the monev ex
pended. Fifty dollars was not . a
very big roll yesterday, and, sup
posing that each of the 37,800 wo:k
ers hd that much, the tot 1! fund
was $890,000. Each worker
had a handful of ballots, aim
it was estimated .that the
fost of printing them was $230,000.
This was arrived at by computing
that fortv-six candidates of each of
the political parties expended about
$t,ooo for personal tickets to he
distributed at die polN. Vh' com -
bined candidates had to meet the
following
PERSONAL. EXPENSES :
Boxes for ticket peddiers, $17,800;
services of workers, $Sg,ooo ; fund
for the heelers, $890,000, cost of
printing tickets. $230,000; total,
$1,226,800. This was the cost ot
the go-as-you-please race of the
republicans, democrats, Butlerites,
prohibitionists ant! iactiomsts, anx
ious to be congressmen, mayor,
comptroller, aldermen, judge, cor
oner, district attorney, civil lustice
or Assemblyman. Each candidate
was in the hands oi" his friends, who
spent his money for him, his only
trouble was drawing checks when
the several committees made their
demands. The expenses varied
greatly for the several candidates,
being createst for mayor, congress
man, comptroller and judge. It is
said that Grace and Giant were call
ed upon for about
$100,000 EACH,
and Gibbs for $15,000. The judges
ot the court of common pleas were
assessed $10,000. Congressmen had
to pay according to the closeness of
of their districts. Some were as
sessed $50 for each election district,
and there are seventy-seven in some
congressional districts, making an
item of $3,850, which some had to
pavto one faction ot their party.
It the county democracy had the
most power in a particular district,
ln- ;;i-esed the candidate for con
g..?-s verv heavily. Tammany being
c . I 'ented with less, and Irving Hall
ith stiil less. The same was true
or the republican faction, and this
money was placed by the commit
tees of these several organizations m
-.1; ,;t,vrU M trusted workers, who
Med it to the best advantage.
