It is said that Manager Judson of the Bliss-Alger campaign is quite niggardly with the big fund at his command to help Bliss to a second term and Alger to the United States senate. Why this is so is not very thoroughly explained, although the theory is that Judson, seeing his star waning, is determined that he is not going to come out at the little end of the horn and is laying by a nice fat nest egg for a rainy day, or more properly for his declining days.

Two dollars, it is said. is now "Bill's" limit in the disbursement of the long green to his camp followers. There are a few cases, however, where it is said he has been known to cough up a five-spot. "De limit" for his managers throughout the state, it is said, does not reach far into the hundreds. Of course they have got to have a "rake off" so that the fellows who climb into their bandwagon will profit as much as those who are next to the chief himself.

At all events it is conservatively figured out that when the show is over in November "Bill" will be able to invest in a brown stone front if he chooses, without having to place a mortgage plaster on the property.
